About this property

Experience Old World Charm with Modern Conveniences...

Dear Nature’s Harmony Guest,

Indulge yourself at Nature's Harmony. Getaway to this luxurious cabin tucked into North Carolina's premier mountainside. Nature's Harmony is more than your traditional vacation rental, but rather a warm inviting log cabin in the woods. This 1920’s built log cabin centrally located in an area minutes from charming downtown Hendersonville and a short drive to Asheville is tucked between multiple hiking trails with picturesque scenes.

From the moment you walk through the front door you will be astounded by the beautiful log walls with white chinking, hardwood floors, beams and a floor to ceiling stone non-working fireplace. To make this room even more inviting, two loveseats and chairs with cushy throw pillows summon you to curl up with a good book. In the corner is a game table which faces the 48” TV so you won’t miss any of the action of your favorite team or show. A plethora of games and puzzles are available if you wish to unplug and enjoy good old fashioned fun! The original cabin has a unique feel. As you wander from room to room you may notice a creak in the floorboard or a spot that isn’t quite level. These foibles are what make this place truly charming. There have been a couple of additions over the years to update the living space.

The second bedroom, on the main floor, next to the living room has a plush-top queen-sized bed, hardwood floors with area rug to keep your toes toasty. This bedroom is adjacent to a bathroom with two separate sinks, toilet and tub/shower unit. Upstairs you will find the third bedroom with its plush queen mattress, chair and two closets. A half bath adjoins the bedroom.

If you want to enjoy a home-cooked meal, all you have to do is provide the food! Nature’s Harmony comes stocked with all of the essential kitchen tools for baking and cooking, i.e. electric stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, and large refrigerator as well as the basic dishes, small appliances, cookware and spices a gourmet cook could possibly need. There is island seating as well as a dining area which will seat eight.

A huge master suite with sitting area has a pullout sofa bed and comfy chairs accompanied by a 50” TV. This area is so large that it can be divided for more privacy if guests decide to stay overnight. Luxuriate in the brand new master bathroom with double sinks, enclosed commode room, and large walk-in shower. In a closet attached to the master bath is a large capacity washer and dryer so you don’t have to take your dirty clothes home. Lay in the king-size plush bed and enjoy the sound of rustling leaves as you gaze out the patio doors which open into the large screened-in porch. From here you can take in views of the gardens, sip cocktails and unwind, or enjoy the morning paper with your coffee. There is also a fire pit so you can roast marshmallows or star gaze at the vast sky at night in the private backyard.

The availability of multiple living areas allows for conversations to evolve in a way that the modern world often interrupts. We want you to turn off your cell phone and computer if you need a break from your busy life. WiFi and cell signal still allow for a reality check if work demands a few minutes of your time. A desk is available for you to use in the office.

If you are looking for locally owned food, wineries, breweries or retail establishments we are more than happy to share our favorites with you. Just ask us for recommendations.

We welcome you to make Nature’s Harmony your new home in the mountains; one you will want to return to year after year. Escape today to the tranquil comfort of Nature’s Harmony.

Monthly rates are available. Please contact us to discuss the length of your stay.

Security: There is a security camera located at the front and back door.

Girls trip turned unforgetable experience

We were extremely fortunate to be staying at Nature's Harmony when Hurricane Helene encompassed Asheville more than predicted. Along with being a unique, quirky, and roomy cottage it's also a fortress! So appreciative that it had a generator as we were safest inside the cabin. Our hosts could not have been more caring and even though all communication was down, they made sure we were comfortable. The cabin was well equipped and we had everything we needed. We were fortunate and so very sorry for Hendersonville and Asheville. Would recommend this cabin to anyone planning a trip to Hendersonville.

Wonderful get away!

Property was as described and per photos. There were 5 senior adults. The location was great for visiting the Apple Festival, apple orchards and antique shops. The layout worked out fine. The kitchen is very well furnished. We could sit in one room to talk or retreat to other areas of the house for alone time. Both the front porch and the screened in porch were enjoyed. We all agreed that this house would be a great place to stay again.

Hendersonville Getaway

We had a great stay! The location was very quiet and convenient to downtown Hendersonville. We also explored Travelers Rest, Brevard, Asheville, and a did a few hikes. This was a relaxing spot to return to in the evenings. Would definitely stay here again.

Home Away from Home in Hendersonville, NC

We loved staying in this home. It was very clean, spacious, and spread out nicely. It was close to all of the things we wanted to do in the Hendersonville area. The host was prompt and kind to respond to all of our requests and questions. The landscaping and window views were pretty. The house is in an older neighborhood, but it was very quiet and peaceful. Beds were comfortable. The house had everything we needed for our week’s stay!

Cute cozy cabin

We really enjoyed our weekend at the cabin. Everything was as described and very clean / well kept. It was decorated for Christmas which made it feel even more cozy and festive! Large kitchen that was well stocked and a huge master bedroom and bathroom. It was about a 10 minute drive to the downtown area with lots of restaurants and things to do. We would definitely stay here again when we’re back in Hendersonville!

Roomy

Our family of 4 adults had plenty of room to spread out. Cabin was nicely appointed with the kitchen having everything we needed to fix whatever we wanted. Good location with easy drive into Hendersonville and just a short hop into Brevard. If you are looking for a place to kick back and relax this is it.

Rustic cabin with charm

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Joel and Ann Marie's cabin. Their titled description " Old World Charm with Modern Conveniences" is a perfect description. They were very easy to communicate with and dependable. From decorating the cabin for fall to clean and organized kitchen cabinets, the detail associated with cabin preparation is noteworthy and appreciated. The kitchen was well appointed with anything you could need for meal preparation, including a tea kettle, to boot. The layout of the cabin offers plenty of room to spread out for individual quiet time and yet spaces to gather for social time. We only enjoyed lounging in the enclosed patio (located off of the master en suite) a couple of times, but it was quite comfortable and immaculately clean. There were plenty of lap blankets and linens for beds and bathrooms. The outdoor grill was the best we've ever had at a vacation rental, and it consistently cooked delicious entrees for our meals. I was even able to pull off some amazing grilled potatoes one night! Joel and Ann Marie's rustic and charming cabin is nestled toward the back of a quiet neighborhood and yet close enough to a main road to get you off quickly to your next adventure.

Happy Repeat Guests

We were so happy to return this summer for our second visit to Nature’s Harmony! Our daughter attends camp in Hendersonville so we booked the house last summer to stay for a long weekend when we picked her up. The house was perfect for our family so we rebooked this summer. The house is clean and well-equipped (including a griddle for making pancakes, along with other kitchen conveniences), and it’s in a peaceful location with a beautiful yard. We loved sitting outside watching our daughters chase fireflies at dusk, and we all enjoyed the fire pit. We’ve had easy communication with the owners and smooth check-ins and check-outs. They even extended us a discount for repeat booking and left us a lovely bottle of wine. So kind and considerate- we appreciated it! We recommend this beautiful log cabin home for anyone staying in Hendersonville, and we look forward to coming back!

Picturesque log cabin in a beautiful setting. Just at the end of the block the pavement turns to gravel as you enter the property. The yard is beautifully landscaped. It’s a charming little oasis.

Cabin feel with new Mastet Suite

We loved this property! First impression upon entering the front door is a rustic log cabin. The kitchen, dining and master suite has been updated with modern decor and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The rainy weekend did not dampen our spirits! We built a fire, caught up on old times with our relatives. Beautiful grounds that add to overall appeal of this house.

Cabin Life

It was like going back in time and yet had all the modern luxuries. Great place to relax and close to downtown for shopping and great restaurants. It was a much needed place for being alone and sharing with family. I came home very rested. Highly recommend this lovely and quiet cabin.

Beautiful log cabin experience

We stayed at Nature’s Harmony for a long weekend after picking up my daughter from summer camp in Hendersonville. It was a beautiful home with plenty of space for our family, and we enjoyed the lovely yard and fire pit! We spent a good amount of time outside, catching fireflies and roasting s’mores. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was clean and well-equipped. It was a busy weekend with additional family visiting and lots of activities, so we didn’t get to spend as much time in the house as we would have liked, but the time we had there was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay!

Spacious and Cozy!!

With 6 people in my family, this house was more than big enough for us to all spread out and have our own space, but we were also able to comfortably spend time together too. The back yard is beautifully landscaped and the fire pit was great to relax around after a long day of sight seeing! The house was full of thoughtful touches that made us feel like we really were in a home away from home and all of this only a few minutes away from Hendersonville! We would definitely stay again!!!

About the host

Host profile image
Wisconsinites turned Southerners! While searching the States for a bed and breakfast to purchase, we came upon Hendersonville and absolutely fell in love with the area. It had everything anyone could want; outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, (two of our favorites), biking, rafting, ziplining, not to mention the sights like the Blue Ridge Parkway, Chimney Rock, DuPont Forest, Biltmore, the thriving arts community of Hendersonville and Asheville. Greenville and Georgia are within close proximity and the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway with its views and microclimates had us at the first photo opportunity! Everything we needed was right here in this thriving community. Hendersonville just felt like home even before we could call it home. We bought a house and a year later bought another one so we could share this wonderful experience with you!
We live within ten minutes of the vacation rental so if there is ever any concern we can address the issue within minutes. We hope you will fall in love with Nature's Harmony just as we have.

Why they chose this property

The first time we saw the log cabin we knew it would be our new home. As we walked through the front door and saw the craftsmanship of the wooden beams and flooring, it just felt like "home". Nature's Harmony house is truly the best of both worlds...a bit of the past with all the modern conveniences one would want in a house in the mountains. We loved the setting because the house is nestled among trees and shrubs which allow us to have a very private yard in a quiet neighborhood. We felt like we were miles from town although we are only a couple of miles from a grocery store, the hospital or bustling downtown Hendersonville and less than 30 miles to vibrant Asheville that has so many things going for it.

There is a massive master suite with sitting area and a new master bathroom was just added. The landscape and gardens are the next renovation project including a new fire pit to enjoy as one gazes at the stars in the always clear North Carolina skies.

What makes this property unique

This home's appeal will revitalize the artisan in all, craftsman or not! The house is perfect for a couple who just wants to get away for the weekend or for a family, or two, who want to gather in a central location to have some fun hiking the many trails close by or sightsee at locations less than an hour away. This area boasts numerous activities and guarantees that no one will be bored while visiting.

The floor plan is perfect for someone, or a group, to be relaxing on the love-seats watching the large screen TV or reading in the living room. A game table is set off in the corner for others to partake in a rousing game of Go Fish or poker! The master suite is at the rear of the house. It boasts a king size bed and large seating area so one, or many, can watch the 50" TV. The seating area has a pullout couch so additional family members can sleep in this room as well. There is a room divider which will allow for privacy for both parties. The best part about the master suite is the screened-in porch which one can access through French doors. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a nice glass of wine while you unwind from a day of sightseeing.
