Rustic Cabin, Appalachian Elegance, Rural But Close

As of May 23, 2020, my cabin is available for rent. I will follow CDC guidelines on cleaning, using an EPA-approved disinfectant for COVID-19 between customers. Thank you, George Stanley.

Appalachia at its best. A mountain cabin re-created within the basement (first floor, ground level) of my home for your pleasure. Private entrance(s), covered deck/patio, open deck, great view, very private setting.

The location has an East-West orientation, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage.

The cabin is fully self contained. It has its own kitchen, bath with shower (no tub), and a small living/dining area. One bedroom with a king size bed.

Centrally located between I-40 and I-26, on Busbee Mountain, the property borders the Biltmore Estate and blends in with the Blue Ridge Parkway at an elevation of 3,346 feet. To get a real glimpse of the property, go to https://youtu.be/gd66YZ9MEsE

Well behaved pets are more than welcome!

Amazing getaway

We had a great time at the cabin. My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days without the kids, and this was the perfect place. Quiet, peaceful, great view, close drive to downtown. George was a great host. We would definitely go back if we get the chance.

Every time I leave George’s cabin, I daydream about the next time I can return. The moments spent in Ollie’s (George’s Camp Cat-selor) company and watching Mama Bear with her adorable cubs—at a safe distance, of course—are truly unforgettable. It’s heartwarming to see the beautiful space that George has created, where both wildlife and humans can harmoniously coexist. It’s a remarkable sanctuary that resonates with the soul.

Marvelous

This is a slice of heaven. Its tranquility and visual beauty is astounding! A bonus is the owner George, whose welcoming spirit and friendliness is a blessing. George loves to share his friendship with the neighborhood bears with you, something I will never forget. Thank you George!

Fabulous stay on tge mountain top!

Everything was flawless! The unit is exactly as described, plus quaint and cute. It has everything one needs to be comfortable and to enjoy the serenity of the gorgeous views! It's located so close to Ashville, Black mountain, and other smaller towns to walk, eat, and enjoy. There are 2 unexpected bonuses here...George is a super wonderful person, just a great guy! And the bear sightings! We enjoyed our stay tremendously! We will be back!

Fabulous Getaway

We felt like we found a gem—a quiet place with incredible views, cozy cabin feel, a kind & generous host. Add to that the amazing opportunity to observe black bears. All while being within a few miles of so many things to do in the Asheville area.
