Serene, secluded cabin 5 miles from the Biltmore and downtown
Welcome to Haw Creek Hideaway, an upscale rental experience! We get rave reviews for our luxurious bedding and mattresses, fully stocked kitchen, and spa-like showers! The house is nestled into the trees and provides privacy and serenity, yet it is just 5 miles from downtown Asheville and the Biltmore, and only 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway (milepost 382.6). Relax on the spacious deck with your favorite beverage and enjoy all the wildlife that call the NC mountains home—deer, turkey, hawks, owls, hummingbirds, chipmunks, and even black bears are frequent sightings! Roast marshmallows around the fire pit or spend some family time playing board games or video games in the family room—it’s up to you! Whether you are visiting Asheville for the hiking, biking, art and music scene, breweries, eclectic dining, or to visit the world famous Biltmore Estate, the cabin will provide a comfortable, private home base for you!
The sun-drenched main living area includes your kitchen, dining room, and living room; please note that our fireplace is not operational. Take your coffee or wine out to the spacious deck and enjoy winter mountain views; in the summer you will feel as though you are in a treehouse! When you are ready for a meal, the kitchen is fully stocked with new pots and pans and appliances; for your morning cup o' Joe, we offer a choice of a brew pot, Keurig, or French press.
The primary bedroom on the main floor features a luxurious king bed, and the newly remodeled en suite bathroom features a rainfall shower head with room for even the tallest guest! Wind up the spiral staircase to the other two guest bedrooms with an updated Jack and Jill bathroom. All beds feature new Casper memory foam mattresses. When you are ready for entertainment, head out to the outdoor fire pit and stare into the hypnotizing flames—firewood is provided! If you have had enough of the outdoors for the day, the basement provides fun for all with a spacious sectional, 65” smart TV with classic Playstation games, and an assortment of puzzles and games.
Both smart TVs provide access to a wide variety of free channels and apps; premium channels such as Netflix, HBO, Disney plus, Amazon video, etc. will require your own login. Multiple user streaming is possible with an approximate download speed of 330 Mbps. A washer and dryer are provided in the garage for your convenience.
We regret that we cannot host children under the age of 6 (with the exception of infants that cannot walk) as we have widely spaced railings on the second floor that present a fall hazard.
Please note that we have two security cameras on the property, both of which can capture audio and video 24/7 on demand and when motion detected. One is facing the driveway, and one is located in the garage facing the entry door. There is a motion detector in the living room that does not capture audio or video, but communicates directly with the security company in case of a break in.

This cabin in the woods is just as breathtakingly beautiful as the photos. The light streams in in the morning as you're drinking your coffee, and you feel relaxed and surrounded by nature. We had a wonderful couple of nights here and would recommend it to anyone! The winding road to get there is not for the faint of heart, but our minivan made it with no problem.
This house was incredible! Great location. The large glass windows gave a constant beautiful view. The place itself was immaculately clean and beautifully equipped. I highly recommend staying here
A lovely home, bright with great windows and natural light. Very comfortable primary suite and king-sized bed. Many thoughtful details provided by the owner.
We had a wonderful stay at this mountain cabin in the woods! The floor to ceiling windows gave the feeling of being in a tree house. The home was clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. The host, Allie, was very helpful in making our stay a peaceful and restorative get away.
The location was perfect. It feels private yet close to Asheville. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were so comfortable. Would stay here again.
This place is at the top top of a mountain. Excellent place to see black bears and we did several times. House was clean and well appointed. You are surrounded by windows and nature.
The property was beautiful. It is up in the mountain so road is curvy and steep, but we liked the seclusion. We had a little hiccup with the A/C but the host was readily available and accommodating. Kitchen was well stocked and home was clean. We enjoyed our stay.
Nice accommodations. Initially we could not enter the garage, however Allie was quick to respond to text & problem was solved. Driveway, as others reviewed, was steep but not terrible to negotiate. We did hire Ubers for dinner which made the evenings enjoyable knowing that directions and roads were being cared for with location-experienced drivers. Beds were comfortable and all was clean. We lacked nothing. We will return. Thank you, Allie.
House was exactly as pictured. Beautiful, green setting tucked back in the hills. Driveway was a bit steep, but nothing unmanageable. Exceptionally clean, easy check in, would definitely stay again!
This home was very well set up and in a great location. It is about 10-15 minutes for downtown Asheville and we had no trouble calling Ubers on nights we wanted to go out.
The house itself has everything you need and everything was very clean. Check in process was super easy. I would definitely stay again!
I can’t overstate how perfect this house was for our ladies weekend. If you love a mid-century gem, this is the place for you!! Enjoy coffee on the wrap around deck or cozy up in the main room flooded with sunlight from the floor to ceiling windows. The house is updated with all modern amenities. We had everything we needed, slept comfortably and received clear, quick communication from our host. Highly recommend!
Great property with beautiful views in the tree tops. House is very thoughtfully appointed and well decorated. Super easy check in and check out. Easy access to downtown! Do recommend 4 wheel drive car to access the property! Our kids loved the game room/tv room. Feels secluded but still close to all activity. Can’t wait to go back!
We stayed on one of the coldest days in recent history. The host kept in close communication with us about road conditions, and added space heaters as most places in the area are not designed for sub-zero (f) temps. The overall feel is calm and comforting with high quality bedding, furniture and bathroom fixtures. We appreciated the choice for quality materials and decor over quantity of excessive items.

Thank you Shira! I hope that you will return when the temperature is more hospitable!
Allie was extremely responsive to all of the questions I had before arrival and after check-in. The home was well appointed with anything we needed (extra trash bags, dish detergent, space heaters etc.). The beds were super comfortable and she has foam pillows and feather pillows!! The location is exactly what we wanted...in the mountains with great views but super close to food options and downtown Asheville. We will definitely come back if we are in need of a rental in Asheville.
Wonderfully inviting, cozy home. Offers a great space for family time and located close enough to explore Asheville’s shopping & local eateries. We will definitely be back!

We love hiking in the mountains around Asheville, and enjoy the restaurants and entertainment in the city as well. I'm thrilled to share our family's vacation house with you!
