After the stress of the holidays, there’s probably nothing you’d want more than to just take a moment to slow down, sit back, and recharge.
This is a private three-level cabin where you can finally take that much-needed break. Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up to frosted Blue Ridge Mountain views from your window, pour a hot cup of coffee, and just bundle up on the couch?
Inside, you can cozy up and chat by the fireplace, sit back and relax in the jetted tub, or play air-hockey with the kids. This cabin is yours to enjoy – stress-free.
The wood interior and beautiful décor will make you feel right at home. The kitchen is fully-stocked, ready for home-cooked meals. Plus, the game room and outdoor spaces are great for relaxing, catching up, and just taking in the views.
The Appalachian Dream Cabin is just a few minutes from downtown Marion. It’s a quiet town where you'll find amazing local restaurants, wineries, coffee shops, and more — or you can take a scenic drive to nearby antique stores, snow tubing at Hawk’s Nest, and amazing mountain overlooks with snowy peaks.
Between the breathtaking views and the overall quiet nature of this cabin, over 200 guests have left here feeling refreshed and completely satisfied.
Now this moment belongs to you.
These winter months fill up pretty quick, and for good reason. It has the peace, the quiet, the mountain views—and it’s all here for you.
Go ahead and grab the dates you want before someone else does.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michael Johns
I began vacationing to the area about 10 years ago while in college at Auburn University. Hiking, snow tubing, and escaping the hot humid summers down south were just a few reasons to start. As the years went by I became more knowledgeable about the area and shared the knowledge with family and friends. My family and I have been blessed with many wonderful memories in the mountains of North Carolina. We hope to have many more to come.
Why they chose this property
I decided to buy this property because of the outstanding mountain views, beautiful cabin, and central location to many area attractions. No matter what time of day or season the view is always spectacular. One step inside the great room and I knew this was my dream cabin. All the beautiful interior wood from floor to wall to ceiling is very impressive. Also, the property consists of over 2 acres at the top of a mountain ridge. The property is only a short few minutes to downtown Marion. (Just 10 minutes)
What makes this property unique
The cabin is spacious, but cozy. It is decorated with casual elegance and the furniture has been chosen with comfort in mind. The cabin features three floors. There is one bedroom on each floor for maximum privacy. It is not only close to Marion, but to many other attractions like Pisgah National Forest, Lake Lure, Lake James, Mount Mitchell, Blue Ridge Parkway, local wineries and vineyards, waterfalls, tubing, kayaking, swimming, Chimney Rock, Biltmore Estate, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, Boone, Blowing Rock, and more.
