Amazing mountain-side cabin with a MILLION view!! Owner communication was great. The kids loved the 4wd road leading up the mountain. Home was clean and provided all the amenities we needed, including sheets and towels. The VIEW is amazing. If we didn’t have other commitments, I would have kept a fire going all day and sat and gazed. The morning sun washing over the valley in the morning while sipping coffee was heaven. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing property.

Breathtaking views

What a beautiful cozy place to stay for Thanksgiving! We enjoyed our time walking the trails on the property, using the firepit and had the fireplace going for a relaxing holiday! Donna had thought of everything and we didn't need to leave the property once we settled! An AWD is definitely a must to get up to this cute place to enjoy the mountain view!

Great weekend

The house was great and the grounds were fantastic. The house is very secluded and challenging to get to, so if you don’t mind some adventure this is the place for you. The fire pit overlooking the valley was unbeatable. Travel time to the ski area is about 20-25 minutes and an all wheel or 4 wheel drive is a must to make it to the house.

Very nice stay

This was our second trip to the area to escape the Florida heat. On our first visit, we stayed at a lower elevation with a west-facing deck, and it was still pretty warm. This time, staying at The Point at 4,000 feet made all the difference—the cooler temperatures were perfect and exactly what we were looking for.The AWD/4WD requirement is no exaggeration, but the drive is manageable and worth it. The property owner was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process, which made everything even easier.We were especially happy that the house was pet-friendly—not only could we bring our dog, but they also welcomed our cat. That flexibility meant a lot to us.The location is ideal: close to Waynesville, Asheville, hiking trails, golf, fishing, great dining, and more. One small note for future guests—the oven is a combination microwave/convection unit, not a standard oven. The gas outdoor grill was new and a very nice feature for us. We like to stay home and cook or grill, so it was a bonus that you do not always get. We loved starting our mornings with sunrise views and unwinding with happy hour at the Point. Hiking the area with our dog was a highlight. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Everything was fantastic. The house and property were a great getaway for us. Trials around the property were really good. Take the top trial. AWD or 4WD is a must but the adventure is well worth it.

The house and the property are beautiful. They look just like in the photos. The house is bigger than we expected and the view is amazing. The private hiking trails apparently no longer exist. The owner told us they have been sold but, of course, there are plenty of places to hike in the area. This is one of the nicest places we've ever rented in the mountains.

Excellent Morning Views

We had a great time, very quiet area with fantastic sunrises from the Master Bedroom. All the amenities anyone would need, felt like being at home. We did see a black bear walking along the lower driveway so be sure to keep the trash in the garage as advised and your cars locked! The owner's dog did come down the first morning to say hello. It is a steep gravel drive to the cabin, so as the owner's say, you do need a 4 wheel drive.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I bought this mountain property in 2012. We live here with our dogs and horses. We recently bought the point property to keep it in the family of our dear friends who were our closest neighbors on the mountain. They have both sadly passed, but their home has always been a second home to us.. and now it’s legal:) We miss them and are happy to share this special place with their children and grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

Peace and Privacy

What makes this property unique

The cabin is at 4000 ft. Elevation. We have 40 acres of land, hiking trails, nearby skiing at Cataloochee Ranch, fishing just down the mountain and ramp and spring lettuce picking on our property, seasonally. We enjoy the peaceful privacy of mountaintop living. Our place is just up the hill a ways from The Point.
