About this property

Carrie's Escape | Authentic Log Cabin Walking Distance to Camp Rockmont!

  • This one-of-a-kind 1947 cabin is brimming with charm, featuring original hardwood floors, exterior walls milled from trees on the property, and nearly three generations of character woven throughout. Just a few hundred feet from Camp Rockmont—once home to the historic Black Mountain College and the beloved Lake Eden Arts Festival (now held in Mills River as of 2026)—Carrie's Escape offers peaceful privacy and unbeatable convenience.

    Enjoy a quick 9-minute drive to Lake Tomahawk Park for tennis, the pool, and walking trails with a spectacular view of the Seven Sisters Mountain Range, or head into downtown Black Mountain for local dining, novelty shops, and art galleries. If you're looking for scenic surroundings with easy access to all that Western North Carolina has to offer, this cozy cabin checks every box!
