Friends ask why we are renting such an amazing log cabin. After living in New York and South Florida for over 30 years, our family decided to move to the enchanting town of Asheville, NC to raise our children. We still love living in Asheville, but we wanted a mountain escape that our family could enjoy from time to time. After years of searching we found the perfect Mountain Top site to build our dream vacation and eventual retirement home that is in a gated community with paved roads and some of the most breathtaking views in North Carolina. The best part was that is less than 30 minutes to Asheville. So in 2018 we built the most amazing log cabin vacation home in the perfect spot with 360 degree views as far as the eye can see. Since we live so close and enjoy it all the time, we decided to share this incredible log cabin so other families can enjoy it as much as we do.

Great location for a large group!
Stay was excellent! The Diamonds were communicative, easy to work with, and accommodating of our needs. House is quite large. The wrap-around porch provided multiple spaces in which small groups could gather, or our introverts could sneak away for a “quiet break”. The large dining tables is grand! Definitely a place to remember.

We were mesmerized by the views and the home! It was spotless and accommodating. The host checked in several times and made us feel welcome. We would love to stay here again.
Also, because we have a disabled family member, I searched for a home with features and layout that would make him comfortable. After the three low stairs it was a smooth entry. Thank you for considering all those who have circumstances life hands us.
We appreciated the welcome basket with the all the treats and the special items. We will think of our vacation every time we use them. 🙂

Spring Break in Catawba Falls
Catawba Falls Reserve is probably our favorite place to stay when we visit North Carolina to hike. We have stayed in this area multiple times. The Black Diamond Lodge is definitely the BEST! We loved the location as it has a trailhead to Upper Catawba Falls right behind the lodge. It is secluded enough to enjoy nature without being inconvenient to taking trips into town for needs. The layout of the lodge easily held our family and we actually could have had more people with us. The parking can hold several cars ( we have 3). Jason, our host, was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed for our week. I highly recommend this lodge.

family christmas
The house is enormous and the views unbeatable. Having rented numerous houses in these mountains, I can easily say this was the best view of them all. Thirteen of us (with 2 dogs) celebrated a family Christmas that will go down in the history books as awesome. There was room for everyone to have his own space. The large square table was a real plus; we could all sit for a meal and actually converse with each other. The house is on top of the mountain about 25 minutes from Black Mountain (up a very curvy road). We considered this an asset because we were trying "to get away from it all." We definitely hope to go back again; it was an A+ holiday.

Mountain Chalet getaway
This cabin (we lovingly referred to it as a chalet) was perfect for our Christmas/birthday getaway. The listing was the definition of under promising and over delivering. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions and the kitchen was supplied with everything one could need on a 2 family trip. We took advantage of the large game table and the games downstairs as well as the hot tub one morning after watching the SPECTACULAR sunrise. The house was clean and instructions were clear and the views were breathtaking.
If you’ve never stayed in the mountains around Asheville before, you may want to consider popping a Dramamine before you get off the highway (but I have become rather sensitive to car sickness). The twists and turns can make you a bit nauseous but the roads were easy to navigate and no need for 4 wheel or all wheel drive. Once you get to the gate of the neighborhood, what a beautiful drive to reach the cabin.
We mainly drank the water straight from the spigot so we didn’t need all the bottled water we brought with us.
There was an extra fridge downstairs that they gave us access to use and that proved very helpful for our large group.
We visited Asheville the first day and all the breweries and shops but my husband loved our last day more when we spent the day in the little town of Black Mountain. It was such a quaint town with all “coolness” of Asheville but on a much cozier scale.
10/10 would recommend this host and cabin.

Paradise in the mountains
We had a wonderful stay during the first week of September. The weather was perfect. The location is a bit of a drive to get to other cities such as Chimney Rock, Asheville, and Black Mountain, but we got used it as it's a gorgeous drive no matter which direction you go.
We had a blast in Apple Valley at both Stepps and Granddad's apple orchards, as well as the nearby winery/cidery.
We also had a great time in Chimney Rock!
The sunrise views cannot be beat. Our group enjoyed drinking coffee and watching the sunrise over the mountains each morning.
There was plenty of room for our whole family and grandparents. The kids loved the bunk bed room and games!
Highly recommend taking advantage of the handful of hiking trails that start at the trailhead near the bottom of the driveway.
There is plenty to do at the property or right around the corner if you want to stay in, or everything else is a 25-30 minute drive.
We'd definitely return to this property.
