About this property

This spacious log home sits on a wooded and private 5 acre lot next to Dupont State Forest. It is only a 1/2 mile to the closest trailhead in the 10,000+ acre recreation area. Dupont is famous for its incredible waterfalls, swimming holes, and 90 miles of trails. Whether on foot or mountain bike, you can explore Dupont's trails easily from this comfortable and cozy cabin home. After your day outside you can relax on one of the covered porches and enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains that awaits you. The cabin does have wi-fi however, it is not dependable for streaming videos and working remotely. IF YOU ARE DEPENDENT ON WI-FI DURING YOUR STAY DO NOT RENT MY CABIN! I have the best wi-fi available in my area but it is extremely inconsistent due to the mountains.
This 3 bedroom home has newly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is fully stocked with the essentials for cooking your meals while you stay. The cabin is great for large groups or families and can sleep up to 9, with 2 double beds, a king sized bed, and a double and single futon in the living room. And it is also perfect for a romantic getaway for 2, as it is comfortable and private.
The home sits directly in between the two mountain towns of Brevard and Hendersonville NC. Each just a 20 minute drive away. Asheville is a 45 minute drive, so close enough to enjoy as well. Brevard and Hendersonville both offer excellent dining options, galleries, shopping, and breweries in cute small town settings.
Pisgah National Forest is just 15 minutes away if you fee the urge to explore the trails outside of Dupont. And Pisgah boasts more beautiful waterfalls and amazing hiking/biking trails.
So if you want to get away for a vacation in the mountains of western North Carolina, this house will allow you to enjoy easy access to outdoor recreation. As well as put you very close to Asheville, Brevard, and Hendersonville if you want to get out on the town during your stay. You will also be a very very a short drive from many of the areas breweries- Oskar Blues (12 minutes), Sierra Nevada (35 minutes), and many more in Brevard, Hendersonville, and Asheville.
And just a 30 minute drive from Henderson County's wine country where you can taste locally made wines at these vineyards: Burntshirt, Point Lookout, St. Paul Mountain, Marked Tree.
There is a caretaker on the property who lives in a separate private apartment on the ground floor of the house. The caretaker is available to answer questions and enjoys meeting the guests, but otherwise he will respect the privacy of all house guests.

Perfect Cabin, Perfect Location

Our stay was close to perfect and everything was made super convenient. Our friend group is all aged 20 or less and that was not a problem at all. We were welcomed by Steve when we got there and he was helpful the whole trip when we needed him. The cabin is on a farm and 5 minutes or less away from Dupont Forest so you will never get bored. This place has everything you want and need for a getaway in the mountains.

Perfect location, cozy cabin!

We had six adults and two little kids staying at the cabin for a long weekend, and it was the perfect location for all our mountain biking and hiking plans! The cabin felt larger than the pictures, and we had plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for us all. The kids loved visiting the pigs and dogs at the farm down the road, riding bikes in the driveway, and exploring the short hiking trails on the property. I don't have words to express how wonderful Steve is - so kind, warm, and great with kids! We would love to return again someday!

A DuPont Diamond in the Forest

I hosted some of my customers that enjoy mountain biking and love, love, loved the location and property. We cooked and appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the fire pit with the endless firewood was a real treat. The on-site property manager was very kind and helpful. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful mountain home. We already have plans to return ❤️.

About the host

Hosted by David Workman

I am the father of two amazing teenage girls. And a business owner who runs the popular Flat Rock Village Bakery. A destination dining spot for its amazing baked goods and wood-fired pizzas.
Currently my girls and I live in Asheville, NC. where we enjoy all that this small, vibrant city has to offer. I am also an avid trail runner who enjoys hitting the trails with my dog daily.

Why they chose this property

I bought this house because of its rustic features and because of its amazing quiet and private setting next to Dupont State forest. I have been in love with Dupont since I first moved to Hendersonville 20 years ago. So I was thrilled when I found this cabin for sale almost 4 years ago. While living in this house I would run the famous Dupont single track trails everyday.
Due to live changes I moved to Asheville last year, but I wanted to keep this house and use it as a vacation rental so my guests could enjoy the peace, quiet, and rustic charm that it has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Guests will enjoy the large deck to relax and breathe in the mountain air. They will also love sitting inside on a cold days in the comfortable living room by the wood stove. And if they want some outdoor adventure, they can easily walk or bike into Dupont State Forest from the house. Where they can enjoy the 10,000 plus acre forest with famous waterfalls, singe track trails, and lakes to swim in.
