You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Cozy, modern cabin w/ Firepit near Asheville. Pet-friendly!
Holly Haven is a privately owned, pet-friendly home tucked away from the hustle & bustle but central to Downtown Asheville, Black Mountain, Biltmore Forest, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just minutes to trailheads, brweries, grocery stores, and gas stations.
The 1.5-acre property is perched on a hill and easily accessible by car (no 4x4 needed). With two bedrooms and two baths, it sleeps five and offers a fire pit with complimentary firewood, hammocks, fully-styocked kitchen and coffee bar, and a HUGE deck with a gas grill.
We are a proud LGBTQ+-friendly home, where everyone is welcome.
Situated on a private road with only 2 neighbors, a long paved driveway leads to the steps towards the front door. The home, driveway, and path steps are all well-lit at night for visibility and your safety.
The brightly colored front door uses a keyless door lock to provide convenient self-check-in. A Ring doorbell camera is unmonitored but provides added security and on-demand communication with the host in the event of an accidental lockout.
The foyer is both welcoming and functional, with benches and hooks for your bags and coats, as well as a full-size stacked front-loading washer and dryer. Shoes are encouraged to be removed to help maintain a clean space for you.
As you walk in, the home's expansive windows will take your breath away. An open-concept layout with a chef's kitchen overlooking the dining and living room creates a spacious, yet cozy environment.
The kitchen includes a full-size stainless steel refrigerator w/ ice maker, electric stove/oven, and dishwasher. It is fully-stocked with a coffee bar, utensils, bakeware, cookware, knives, blender, mixer, rice maker, pizza stone, fondue set, kids dishes, cleaning supplies, and storage/paper products. Complimentary regular, decaf, and flavored ground coffee and pods, hot cocoa, tea, filters, and a wide assortment of condiments are provided.
The dining area is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows, and seats up to 8 - great for sharing a meal or playing a board game. Puzzles and games are available to use.
The living room has a 65" screen smart TV - just bring your logins to stream your favorite shows. The enormous east-facing windows and glass doors lead to an expansive deck with a gas grill, picnic table, and plenty of outdoor seating. At night, the deck railing is adorned with fairy lights, creating a cozy ambiance while you gaze at the expansive sky full of stars.
The large primary bedroom is located upstairs in an open loft-style bedroom and has the most spectacular views of the mountains and tree line. Nearby, a dedicated workspace with a desk, lamp, and wireless speaker, allows you to enjoy the same mountain views. High-speed internet makes this spot perfect for remote workers.
A king bed with soft sheets and glow from the natural wood interior make this the coziest place in the home, in the morning and evening. Room darkening curtains and eye masks have been carefully considered for our guests who may be sensitive to light, and a wireless charger and sound machine offer the conveniences of home. A dresser, nightstands, and walk-in closet offer plenty of storage. The ensuite bath has a full tub with a rain showerhead, lots of cabinet space, and both bathrooms provide complimentary soap, bath tissue, shampoo, and conditioner, and hair dryers for your convenience.
The guest bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed, smart tv, dresser and closet. Room-darkening curtains and a wireless phone charger are added for your convenience. A folding bed with additional bedding is available in the closet for a 5th guest.
Additional items available to use: ✩ Foldable crib with waterproof mattress and sheets ✩ Pack n Play with sheets ✩ High chair ✩ Rollaway bed (good for children) ✩ Iron and ironing board
The guest bathroom with shower is across the hall, and includes complimentary toiletries as well.
Outside, leading away from the front door is another stepped pathway to a stone firepit, surrounded by Adirondack chairs and lit by string lights.
The home's well water is equipped with an extensive/expensive water filtration system which softens and neutralizes the water, providing clean, delicious, purified water for drinking and all other uses. No need to buy bottles of water here!
Cornhole game, hammocks, yoga mats, board games, and firewood are provided to use. The home is pet-friendly (3 pets max with a pet fee) and pet supplies and a large metal crate are provided to use during your stay.

This cabin was everything we hoped for and more! It was super clean, just like the pictures, and beautifully maintained. The location was perfect—secluded enough for peace and quiet but only 20 minutes from everything we wanted to do. The host was incredibly responsive and hospitable, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in a stunning setting, this is the place to book. We can’t wait to come back!

Hope to go back and stay again
We had a fabulous stay. The house was adorable. We loved all the modern decor and open floor plan. If wasn't raining the night we stayed we would have spent time enjoying the deck and the hammocks and fire pit out back too. The couch and beds were super comfortable and we loved all the extra touches like the complimentary earplugs and eye masks. The place was close to a grocery store and a really cute brewery down the street too. Great time. Next time we plan a trip to Asheville, we will be sure to see if this place is available to stay again.

Amazing stay!
This place is beautiful! We already started talking about wanting to go back. So much space, great amenities, comfortable beds, beautiful deck, and the location was perfect for what we needed. Signal is a bit hit or miss until you get on WiFi so make sure you take a screen shot of your check in info. We will be back!
