Asheville Cabin, 8 Acres, Mountain Views, Hot Tub + Fire Pit, Dog Friendly

Asheville mountain cabin on 8 private acres, 30 minutes from downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, with a hot tub, fire pit, wood stove and fast Wi-Fi. Once the leaves fall, long-range mountain views from the back porch, the hot tub, even the dining room table. Your own wooded trail down to the creek, a fenced pasture for the dogs, tent beds and a scavenger hunt for the kids, and a loft with a projector for movie nights. Stocked kitchen, no neighbors in sight, 20 minutes to downtown Black Mountain, 40 to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure.

THE VIEW

Moonlight sits on peaceful mountain land at the end of a gravel road. In summer the trees wrap the cabin in green. Once the leaves fall, enjoy long-range mountain views from the back porch, the hot tub, or even the dining room table over morning coffee. At night the back field is the spot for stargazing. Keep an eye out for Rodney the box turtle in the pasture, and the occasional bear passing through.

"Words cannot capture the true beauty of the house and its surroundings; even photos fall short." – Kerri

THE PROPERTY

8 private acres, with no neighbors in sight. A huge fenced pasture where the dogs can run off leash and the kids can play cornhole and badminton. A fire pit in the quiet pasture for s'mores under the stars. Your own short wooded trail down to the mountain creek. A gas grill, a front porch bed swing that guests tell us is their favorite spot, and a back porch that looks straight out at the mountains.

INSIDE

Multiple living areas so everyone can find their own corner. A wood stove for cold nights, a record player with Ella and Sinatra on the shelf, streaming TVs, and an upstairs loft with an oversized sofa and a projector for movie nights. There's a jacuzzi tub inside too, in addition to the hot tub. Fast internet handles streaming and remote work, and the loft has an extra monitor if you need to get a little work done.

Moonlight has something most cabins don't: a backup generator. If the power goes out (a reality in the mountains) the lights, heat and water won't, so you can keep relaxing.

SLEEPING, UP TO 6

Upstairs king bedroom with two cozy tent beds the kids love (they're full twins, so grown-ups fit too).
Main-level bedroom with an adjustable queen.
The loft sofa folds out to a queen.
Two full bathrooms, a washer and dryer, and Tuft + Needle mattresses on every bed.

THE KITCHEN

An open kitchen with All-Clad cookware, sharp knives, a KitchenAid mixer, a full spice rack and the pantry basics for baking on a whim. "The kitchen had great pans to work with (All-Clad!) and lots of seasonings, spices and pantry staples." – Summer

FOR KIDS

Tent beds, a property-wide scavenger hunt, the Moonlight Explorer nature game, custom Moonlight coloring books, puzzles, books, tons of board games, yard games, and kid-sized cups, plates and Moonlight placemats.

FOR DOGS

Dogs welcome, up to 3, $75 per stay. We provide bowls, blankets, towels and treats, plus a bed or toys on request. The huge fenced pasture gives them safe room to run off leash. Please let us know how many pups are coming. No cats.

ASHEVILLE AND BEYOND

Asheville is 30 minutes door to door: the Biltmore Estate, the River Arts District, Blue Ridge Parkway overlooks, the downtown food scene, and more breweries per person than almost anywhere in the country. Downtown Black Mountain, under 20 minutes, has shops, live music, and great restaurants. Chimney Rock State Park and Lake Lure, both reopened, are about 40 minutes. Catawba Falls and Lookout Trail are popular hikes, and skiing and snow tubing are within 90 minutes in winter.

"Come, enjoy what feels like your own private mountain. You won't regret it!" – Stephanie

IMPORTANT DETAILS

Accessing a mountain retreat means navigating a mountain road. Moonlight sits at the end of a 1.5-mile gravel road. It's well-maintained but narrow (one lane) in spots, so take your time.
AWD or 4WD is required during Dec-Feb due to snow/ice.
Cell service is spotty up here, but there's a landline and fast Wi-Fi. Plenty of parking, including room for a trailer.

"Couldn't recommend this place enough. 12/10! Laura is amazing, and the cabin was truly serene." – Peter

Reserve your stay at Moonlight to enjoy the privacy, the views, and the thoughtful details that make it a one-of-a-kind mountain escape!
