We had a fantastic time at this cabin. The views were spectacular. Getting to the cabin was an adventure, but we loved the seclusion of it. Cabin had pretty much everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest is providing little soaps for the showers. My friends that stayed in the upper floor said the shower floor was a little slick, but otherwise everything was great! We highly recommend this cabin. You won’t be disappointed!

We had the most awesome trip. My husband and I stayed for two nights and just soaked up the beauty and tranquility the property offers. The home was so clean, cozy, comfortable and stocked with everything we could ask for. We had the most amazing bear experience with a mama and her two cubs digging up an underground beehive just in front of the back porch. That just made our whole trip. And we had the opportunity to meet Jack who was just so nice and helpful! We can't wait to visit the property again and would definitely recommend to our friends and family.

Very beautiful mountain home.

I highly recommend staying in this beautiful cabin. Everything is so clean and tastefully decorated. Very comfortable and nice sized rooms. This home has the most beautiful views of any cabin I’ve ever stayed in, I would definitely stay again, and the hosts were very accommodating and kind, they made recommendations for things in the area and respond very quickly to any questions. The drive up the mountain is a little intense, but not a hindrance unless it’s very foggy, the views are worth the steep drive in the neighborhood.

Family Christmas

The stunning views make this home amazing. The sunrise was our favorite! And you can watch the sun set from the balcony off the kitchen. Getting there can be challenging for those that aren’t used to the windy and steep mountain rosds. Definitely recommend going to the store for your food/drinks before you climb to the top of the mountain where there is plenty of parking for you and your guests. They have all the pots, pans, cooking sheets and utensils you need. There’s plenty of space for everyone to relax, eat, sleep, or play games inside or out. Our family truly enjoyed the experience and couldn’t stop talking about it. We all loved the beautiful fireplace even though the heating system worked well and we didn’t need it, we still used it. The owners were great and made the directions very clear. They even gave recommendations for hiking spots and places to see water falls. Would recommend this family get away to our friends!

Awesome location with breathtaking view

My husband and I really enjoyed the stay here. We wanted a relaxing week away from the heat in Texas and an experience in spending time in the mountains. This home is located on the top of a mountain with breathtaking view. We felt like we were in a different world being so closed to the nature. The proximity to Asheville and national parks was a plus as we explored the surrounding area. We had a great time and will definitely return. Jack and Candace are very responsive and kind. They shared a great list of things to do in the area. They are great hosts.

Fantastic Stay

Absolutely incredible views. Pictures don’t do it justice. Cabin was clean, well furnished and our kids really enjoyed all of the board games and the downstairs game room was a hit. Drive in and out of town (Old Fort/Black Mountain) was around 20/30 minutes, but didn’t bother us at all given all of the beautiful scenery and wildlife along the way. Owners were great hosts and we highly recommend

Amazing Views

TLDR: The views are amazing, and we look forward to returning. The home was extremely clean and had additional amenities that are not often found in other rentals. Vertically, the drive up to the home is about 1,000’, so it is steep, but at no point overly treacherous. There is a generous parking area, so entering and exiting does not leave you wondering if you will be careening off a cliff, like many mountain homes so often do. The drive to Black Mountain, Asheville, and Mills River is not short, so you will want to plan your day accordingly.

One-of-a-kind Mountain Top View

We love this cabin so much that this was the third time we have been here with my husband and two boys. We are thrilled to be renting this cabin for the fourth time; this time for the month of July. The view from the deck is spectacular. We spent the entire time enjoying the view and watching the hummingbirds who flocked to our hummingbird feeder. Black mountain is a 30 minute drive away and Asheville is 45 minutes. Our favorite restaurants are Jerusalem Garden Cafe in Asheville and Blue Ridge Biscuit Company in Black Mountain.

Little Piece of Heaven on Earth

My family of 4 spent 8 nights at Mountain Laurel Lookout this May. It was everything the listing described and more. Beautiful cabin, amazing views, and a secluded setting. Just magical! A few things that I would want to know if I were looking at this property: 1. This cabin is in a private gated community, which we liked. It’s a drive back to “civilization.” But TOTALLY worth it. 2. There is only one neighbor in view of this cabin (right next door), but you can’t see it at all from the windows or the deck. No other cabins are close. Mountain Laurel feels super secluded and private. 3. Once you pass the gate, it’s a fairly steep climb to the cabin, with lots of twists and turns. When the owners suggest you arrive during daylight hours, do it! Their directions are great, but daylight will help you navigate the first time! 4. They suggest having a front-wheel or all-wheel drive. We did, however, make it just fine in our little Hyundai Elantra. We DID have to put it in 1st gear driving up the last little bit, where the road was about a 45 degree angle. But we managed just fine. We would NOT attempt it in that car during winter months! 4. The cabin is very well-stocked. We really appreciated having access to spices, trash bags, laundry detergent, etc. Thank you!! 5. We spent A LOT of time on the deck reading, eating, and enjoying the breathtaking views. If you plan to rent this cabin, make sure you give yourself ample time to enjoy the beauty!!! 6. We LOVED the game room! ❤️

Breathtaking Views!!

We spent spring break with our two teen girls and two of their friends at this amazing home on the top of the mountain. Pros - Beautiful panoramic views - Grill, swing, and covered table on deck - Fireplace and available firewood - Game room for the kids - Great decor and very cozy clean home - Excellent drinking water from the tap - Close to excellent hiking, zip lining and other activities - Easy check-in process Cons - Kitchen cooking tools are cheap quality and could use updating - Far away from grocery store (30 minute drive) so need to plan well - Not much sound proofing between master bedroom and upstairs rooms - You’re required to remove your own trash during and at end of your stay, which is tricky if you have a full car with luggage and kids
