About this property

Barefoot Lodge at Dix Creek

  • Come and relax in a private space nestled in rolling hills, yet only 15 minutes from the many experiences downtown Asheville has to offer. This spot is great for couples, families, or friends looking to enjoy time together. Whether you're wanting to break away from city life, explore the outdoors, check out Asheville's food scene, or just gather with others, this cabin fits the bill. Get cozy under a blanket by the fireplace, enjoy some friendly competition in the game room, or roast some s'mores in the outdoor fire pit. Whatever it is you're looking forward to most, we'd like the chance to host your Asheville adventure.

    Walk up to the large front porch and enter to the main level which features a fully equipped kitchen, dining table, living room, wood burning fireplace, full bathroom, and large laundry/mudroom. Walk upstairs to the three bedrooms and second full bathroom, or head downstairs to the basement with game tables, additional seating and second fireplace. Walk out of the kitchen to the back porch with a smaller fenced in area for your pups. Large grill offers convenient outdoor cooking. Patio and fire pit situated near creek.

    *Please note that after hurricane Helene, the cabin has undergone some renovations and upgrades that haven't yet been reflected in photos. These include new roof, new basement floor, new basement furniture, shuffleboard table has been replaced with foosball table.

A fantastic cabin and property only 10-15 minutes from Asheville. Kids loved the property and cozy fireplace. It was a much needed reset from our busy lives. Nothing beats a coffee early on the porch with the quiet sounds of nature.

Everything you could want

Our 3-day stay was exceptional. The cabin was comfortable and rustic but with everything you could possibly want or need. The host was very responsive and answered all questions quickly and accurately. The pictures of the cabin and grounds are accurate. Would definitely stay there again. It’s a wonderful experience.

Great Asheville Getaway

This is a wonderful property that is close to Asheville (convenience) yet has the privacy (mostly) of being in the country. The roads do have a lot of traffic, though. The house has everything you’ll need. Great layout and very spacious for a couple (almost too much room!) or a family. The game room was a nice surprise but we spent the majority of our time on the front porch after a day of hiking.

Great experience.

My wife wanted a cooler weather getaway from Hilton Head, South Carolina. She and I were very pleased. The only constructive comment she had was the game room downstairs was nice, although not really finished. We never used it. We are looking at the Mountain View property for next year.

Convenient to Asheville in a quiet rural setting

Dix Creek Cabin was a perfect setting for a mini family reunion. The floor plan is fairly open from the kitchen to the dining area, and from there to the living room. That let us be together and still have some space. The ability to bring a dog was a huge bonus. The "kids" enjoyed the game room, and we appreciated the garage for loading and unloading our car in the rain. The yard is beautiful, although persistent rain kept us inside when we were not enjoying Asheville, Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thanks to Birgit & Tony for sharing their lovely home with us.

Fantastic!

The home is exactly as described. It it super clean and nicely decorated. When we arrived the owners had a bottle of wine, coffee, hot chocolate etc waiting for us which made us feel very welcome. The owners kept in touch and provided us with very clear instructions. They also quickly responded when we had a questions. The bedrooms were nice and the beds were very comfortable. The linens and towels were also very nice as were the bathrooms which were also very clean. The owners left us plenty of firewood - the fires were so relaxing. My daughter really enjoyed the basement with game tables. The environment was very conducive to family time. She even put her phone down and requested to play board games with us. She has not done that in years. She also had a great time making smores by the fire pit. Good to see a teen enjoy something besides electronic devices. Her favorite thing though was the visit by the small donkey and cow next door. That was a lot of fun! The house was also very close to Asheville and Biltmore. We were able to easily get to Biltmore and the Grove Park Inn. Asheville is a beautiful city and is perfect for a 3-4 day long weekend. This house was perfect and the hosts were wonderful! We highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Asheville. We are grateful that they shared their home on this site so that we could have such a great time. Why rent a hotel room when you can stay in a home like this? Thanks to the owners!

Loved how secluded this property felt, despite being within such easy access to the downtown Asheville area. We loved sitting out on the patio at night and watching the fireflies in the yard. Perfect for our family trip.

Asheville -Country feel!

The property was beautiful, a large well groomed hilly lot with a small stream, water wheel, fire pit and well lit at night, great ambiance. Overall a very nice accommodation for 6 adults, 2 small dogs. There were 2 full baths, a half bath would have been nice but not mandatory and a roomy front porch with rocking chairs. This house was a log cabin style which we really liked. There was a large downstairs game room which would be great for kids as well as adults. The house was well stocked and overall we had a wonderful time. Two recommendations to take it from great to fantastic would be toppers on the queen beds for more comfort and better lighting downstairs in the living/great room. Due to all of the interior wood and mature trees around the house, it was quite dark even in the daytime. Two or three standup lamps in that room with 3 way bulbs would really help. Otherwise highly recommend this property, it is only 15 minutes from downtown Asheville which made it so convenient for the wedding events we attended.
