About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family friendly modern cabin with extensive Mountain Views

Modern mountain home located on 13 secluded acres of woods and a field. Three bedrooms are located on the ground level floor and one large bedroom with two beds on the second floor. It is a perfect home for large families with children. Antique furnishings are cleverly mixed throughout the design of the modern cabin.

Expansive covered porches wrap the house on two sides adding 850 sq.ft. of covered outdoor space lending long & short range views of the Appalachian Mountains, including Mount Mitchell (highest point east of the Mississippi River). The porches have rough cut black locust floors and posts. The porch posts were harvested from timber on the property. Salvaged eastern hemlock from the surrounding mountains was used for porch rails and roof rafters of the side porch.

Spend the mornings with a cup of coffee watching the sunrise and enjoy the evenings with colorful sunsets. Enjoy the quiet except for the occasional sound of barred owls calling to one another in the evenings or humming birds buzzing by during the day.

In the winter, cozy up to one of two hand-crafted fireplaces. The fireplaces were handcrafted using local Doggett Mountain rock.

After a long day of hiking, biking, or lake fun, relax in one of two clawfoot tubs. Sleep well on the new Casper mattresses throughout the house.

Family meals are easily prepared with the fully stocked and spacious kitchen. There are two large farm tables to enjoy family meals inside or outside on the porch.

WiFi, 4K TVs, Roku, on-demand hot water, backup whole-house generator. Close to Asheville, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Black Mountain, and Hendersonville.

For families traveling with small children- we have a nice selection of children’s books, toys, games, and puzzles. A pack and play (bring your bedding for it), high chair, and booster seat are available. There is also an Osprey baby hiking pack to enable your family to explore the beautiful mountains together!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 3.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

Beautiful, serene, and clean

Our stay here was terrific! We took a family vacation to the Ashland, NC area and stayed here for the entire week. We immediately felt welcome and comfortable at the house. The furnishings are well thought out, the entire place is very clean, and everything functioned as intended. The view from the porch is breathtaking, especially at sunrise; and we indulged in the outdoor fireplace in the evening. Especially nice for our three young children were the special kids nook upstairs, the drawers full of games, coloring books, and puzzles, and the myriad stuffed animals to play with :) The owners were very responsive, welcoming, and helpful and I highly recommend this house.

Wow!

This is an incredible property. The comfort and cleanliness of this home made for such an enjoyable stay with friends. The kitchen is well-stocked making meal prep easy. It is a bit out of the way and is up a windy road, but there were afternoons where we didn't leave the home and relaxed. I can't wait to return! Thank you so much!

Perfection

We stayed for 4 nights and it was absolute perfection. The accommodations were very nice and it was the most well stocked kitchen, for a rental, that we’ve ever seen. The views were like a painting and the fireplaces were so nice to have on the cool nights. I honestly can’t think of one bad thing to say about this place. The roads getting to the cabin are a little daunting if you’re not used to mountain roads but in no way would that be a deterrent for a return trip. Thank you again for an amazingly awesome stay.

Beautiful house, amazing views

Thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation with kids and grandparents. The house had everything we needed. Very clean and everything, including the house itself, is basically new. Views are amazing from dusk until dawn. It takes a minute to get there but we’ll worth the drive. We spent many hours on the deck enjoying the view of the mountains all around. Will definitely consider renting again.

Peaceful location with amazing views

The house is well decorated and felt like an upscale luxury cabin. The bathrooms are clean and beautiful. The beds and bedding were comfy. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook. The views were amazing and the outdoor furniture was perfect. The kids fought a bit over the outdoor swing which they really enjoyed. The sunrises were spectacular. The owners really thought about everything to make your stay lovely. The roads to the cabin are mountain roads. All paved but in some areas a bit tight. However there is little road traffic so everything was fine, but we just chose to be home before dark. We would love to come back and stay and wish all of our rentals were as nicely decorated and comfy as this one.

Perfect Fall Getaway

This lovely home and the beautiful surroundings far exceeded our expectations! The home was immaculate with every amenity needed and perfectly suited for families with games, toys, a “secret hobbit room,” and more. We went end of October / beginning of November, and the leaves plus beautiful property made us feel like we were on a postcard. Last, the hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful, with suggestions on where to take our kiddos trick-or-treating and letting us reserve an extra night—because we loved it so much—after arriving. Highly recommend this home and the hosts!

Pure Perfection

We can not say enough good things about our stay. From the beginning the open communication from Bob and Dawn was excellent. As soon as you drive up to the cabin the views are amazing. The exterior landscaping…porches and view could not be better. Walking into the cabin you are greeted to a clean and welcoming home. You feel immediately at home and welcomed. The decor of the cabin is simply amazing. Every piece of art and furniture is well thought out and placed. The attention to detail is perfection. Anywhere you stand in the cabin has a breathtaking view. The large windows allow you to take in the mountains that surround you. The acreage that the cabin sits on makes you feel like you are the only people on the mountain. Each bedroom/bathroom has its own super comfortable bed…clean fresh linens and fluffy white clean towels. Beautiful showers and claw foot tubs await your use. The bedrooms all have large windows with lots of bright light. We have a 3 year old busy son. This home is perfect for anyone with children. From the extensive amount of games…books…drawing material…play dough… and special hidden nook our little one was able to stay content and busy our entire stay. We are already planning when we will visit again. The best cabin we have ever stayed in. If you are thinking of renting a home in this area do not pass this one up!!

Amazing Week in the Mountains!!

This home was stunning!!!! It was clean, cozy, and built over looking fabulous mountains. Amazing Hosts!! We had a wonderful time sitting on the porch. House is fully equipped, a huge bonus. The only down side was it was 30-45 minutes to most places in Asheville and Hendersonville, although our goal was to be in the mountains and have morning coffee breathing in the fresh air and viewing the mountains. A fabulous week! We will return.

A perfect mountain home with everything you need including beautiful long range views!

Our family spent a wonderful and memorable spring break at the Kalmia Knob cabin. The owners have created a perfect mountain home, beautifully designed, constructed, and decorated, with every need thought of and provided for, making for a comfortable and scenic stay in a private, gorgeous location with amazing views. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms clean and plentiful, the kitchen well stocked and high end, the porch spacious with delightful outdoor fireplace, and the wifi fast and the smart tv full of viewing options (should you want those things). Our kids enjoyed exploring the woods and hills around the house, while my wife and I enjoyed relaxing with coffee and drinks on the porch. The house has everything you need (bring groceries, of course) and it would be a vacation in and of itself just to stay there your entire visit--we were tempted to do just that. But there are great opportunities for exploration in the surrounding areas, as well, for hiking, biking, water activities, and lots of other adventures in places like Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, DuPont State Forest, Brevard, etc., not to mention everything nearby Asheville has to offer. The hosts--Bob and Dawn--were terrific. They are very organized, accessible, and friendly. Our family hopes to rent with them, and stay at Kalmia Knob, again. It is truly a perfect mountain home!

Beautiful, secluded cabin with everything you need for a great stay

We loved the cabin. It was one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed at in awhile. They had so many toys for my kids to play with which was amazing since the weather didn't cooperate with us. The kitchen had more dishes, silverware, kitchen tools than anywhere else we've stayed which was perfect for making all of our meals there. Owners had excellent communication with the questions we had and a super helpful webpage with all the info you need to know about the cabin. Definitely arrive before dark if you can (don't make the same mistake as us) as the roads leading to the cabin are not lit and are very winding (the fog didn't help either). Would definitely stay here again without reservation.

Best Vacation in the Mountains Ever!

This rental was one of our Top 3 ever! It's DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. My family of 10 had an incredible time enjoying our Labor Day in Kalmia Knob! Let's start with the home itself. Everything is BRAND new. The showers, tubs, appliances, furniture, everything. The mattresses were SO comfortable which is never a guarantee in rentals. The water pressure and heat was unbelievable!! We miss it already! The living room was huge and so was the main dining room to fit 10 of us! We played dominoes each night, watched the new Mulan together on the Roku TV, and cooked each morning. BUT we spent most of our time on the wrap-around deck. They had a beautiful seating area that most of us would take blankets and talk until the sun would go down. They also had an outdoor fireplace with rocking chairs for both adults AND kiddos. They ALSO had a dining table outside. Pair that with the DOZENS of hummingbirds that would come to the house all day and drink water from their feeders. We'd just sit there in awe of the Blue Ridge Mountain views that had zero obstruction, listen to the hummingbird wings, and just relax. Complete detox from life, tech, COVID, etc. Location wise - it's worth every mountain road to get there. It's completely private and yet still 15 mins from Chimney Rock and all the yummy restaurants. We would venture out of the house each day but love coming home too. We hiked Chimney rock, went white water rafting in Tennessee, spent a day at the Biltmore, and would hang at our rental. Lazy mornings and late evenings. It was absolutely perfect. Let's talk about the Host! They were SOOOOOO kind. We arrived to a surprise bag of local coffee and bottle of wine plus they had stocked up some essentials for breakfast since we were flying/drive in late. They shared all details to WIFI, passwords, keycode, etc through a Host webpage that made it SO easy to follow. She checked-in on us throughout the trip and was so thoughtful with my boys. They also have small kids so my boys were going nuts with all the toys, cubby hole room, books, etc. I can't sing this place better praises. Will ABSOLUTELY come back and have told all my NC friends already. Thank you soooo much!
