Five bedrooms, each with a television, and three full bathrooms provide ample accommodations for families and groups. The primary suite includes a king-size bed, a natural rock hearth fireplace, and a deep soaking tub. Recreation abounds in the adjacent game room with automatic garage doors, foosball, ping-pong, and card tables, along with an outdoor lawn area for cornhole. Just outside, guests will enjoy a sunken hot tub, a luxury fire pit with seating, and a hammock set beneath the trees for peaceful afternoon lounging.
Also located near the main lodge, Cabin Thyme is an authentic Appalachian log cabin filled with rustic charm and modern comfort. While the cabin's exterior maintains its original character from the early 1900s, the interior has been fully renovated with a sleek modern kitchen, updated bathroom, and thoughtful touches throughout. This handcrafted retreat features a covered front porch, wood-burning fireplace, mini-fridge, WiFi, and a television. With its seamless blend of natural beauty, luxurious amenities, and proximity to downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Wildheart Sanctuary offers an exceptional mountain getaway that encourages both adventure and relaxation.

We loved our stay here! Our family and in laws were in town for a wedding and this place was perfect. So quiet and a nice distance from town. We will definitely come back!
Arrived to find a great cabin close to Asheville. The interior was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the outdoor area and the location was great. Would stay here again.
The lodge was everything we expected and more! It was extremely clean and the surrounding area is gorgeous! We would absolutely book a stay here again!

Awesome location!
The house is in a great location and we were able to explore all the hiking trails on the property. It was the perfect option for my birthday weekend and we definitely plan to visit again in the Fall.
The place was lovely and very clean. The location made our stay even better. It was so nice to be away from everything and yet have access to downtown Asheville with just a 15 minute drive.
The Lodge is a beautiful place to stay. Extremely comfortable living arrangements. Loved the hiking opportunities on site and just steps out the front door!
