Cozy Cabin with Game Room

Beautiful place away from it all. Perfect for birders. It is on the second floor so there are stairs up which could be a challenge for those with mobility issues, but once up, everything is on one floor. There’s a nice covered deck to sit outside. We found the stove top difficult until we found the manual over the microwave. If it says Lo the child lock is on and you have to turn that off before you can do anything. The microwave is very high. There is a full size fridge. Bring coffee and food as there’s nothing supplied, except a few things that people have left behind. The host let us drop off groceries early and then allowed us to check in early, with the early check in fee waived, which we really appreciated. Old Fort is the nearest town and we ate at the Hillman Brewery which was excellent. Parking and entrance are around the back.

Loved staying here! The game room was very fun and the house was plenty of space for what we needed! It had all the amenities listed and the host was very responsive.

Great stay overall. Location was a plus; Old Fort (~12 min), Black Mountain (~20 min), and Asheville are an easy drive, with lots of quaint restaurants nearby. Breakfast highlights: Cousins Cuban Cafe and Open Oven Brunch & Bakery. The cabin was a nice home base: Catawba Falls is close, and we also did day trips (~1 hr 20 min) to High Falls and the Linville area (Caverns tour + Gorge). Dinner at Bush Farmhouse was a standout—local ambiance, local ingredients with South African-inspired food/drink, and very pet friendly (our dog joined us inside in the back bar). A few notes: two cabins back up to each other. The kitchen is minimal (two-burner stovetop, no oven), fine for simple meals but limiting for bigger cooking. The drive up is steep but fully paved; no issues. The hot tub is on the second cabin’s back porch, so it’s only available if that cabin is vacant. The game room is a separate shared space on the first floor of our cabin. We did not use. Overall, great trip.
