Dupont Forest Trailside Cabin

NEW UPDATES FOR 2025:

***The cabin now has fast and effective Wifi!!!!
***There is no longer a caretaker on the property so guests will have the entire house to themselves!!!

This spacious log home sits on a wooded and private 5 acre lot next to Dupont State Forest. It is only a 1/2 mile to the closest trailhead in the 10,000+ acre recreation area. Dupont is famous for its incredible waterfalls, swimming holes, and 90 miles of trails. Whether on foot or mountain bike, you can explore Dupont's trails easily from this comfortable and cozy cabin home. After your day outside you can relax on one of the covered porches and enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains that awaits you.
This 3 bedroom home has newly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is fully stocked with the essentials for cooking your meals while you stay. The cabin is great for large groups or families and can sleep up to 9, with 1 double bed, 1 queen 1 king sized bed, and a double and single futon in the living room. And it is also perfect for a romantic getaway for 2, as it is comfortable and private.
The home sits directly in between the two mountain towns of Brevard and Hendersonville NC. Each just a 20 minute drive away. Asheville is a 45 minute drive, so close enough to enjoy as well. Brevard and Hendersonville both offer excellent dining options, galleries, shopping, and breweries in cute small town settings.
Pisgah National Forest is just 15 minutes away if you fee the urge to explore the trails outside of Dupont. And Pisgah boasts more beautiful waterfalls and amazing hiking/biking trails.
So if you want to get away for a vacation in the mountains of western North Carolina, this house will allow you to enjoy easy access to outdoor recreation. As well as put you very close to Asheville, Brevard, and Hendersonville if you want to get out on the town during your stay. You will also be a very very a short drive from many of the areas breweries- Oskar Blues (12 minutes), Sierra Nevada (35 minutes), and many more in Brevard, Hendersonville, and Asheville.
And just a 30 minute drive from Henderson County's wine country where you can taste locally made wines at these vineyards: Burntshirt, Point Lookout, St. Paul Mountain, Marked Tree.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

My new all-time favorite destination!I'm so glad we brought our mountain bikes - DuPont Forest trails are truly epic. Ridgeline is a must-ride. We started at the Guion Farm trailhead just a couple of miles away, but the Lake Imaging parking lot turned out to be the better choice - right at the bottom of Ridgeline and downhill all the way. It’s a blue-level trail that riders of almost any skill level can enjoy.The cabin did not disappoint. It was very clean, extremely comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you’d want for a mid-adventure reset - dishwasher, washer/dryer, and even a hose to rinse off your bikes. You can tell the owner takes real pride in this outdoor getaway. Everything is thoughtfully done, from the quality of the furnishings to the fire pit (with firewood!), cornhole, and other activities to keep you entertained. Even the internet is fast, thanks to Starlink - great if you need to get a bit of work done during your stay.If I had to nitpick one minor thing, it would be the electronic lockbox—I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. Thankfully, my wife had it covered. It only came up once during our stay, so not a big deal at all.Overall, we had an amazing time in North Carolina and couldn’t have picked a better location or rental. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Wonderful property for weekend stay near Dupont Forest. Fully furnished, very comfortable, host is great communicator. Log cabin home is absolutely beautiful and has everything our family of mixed ages needed, including outdoor activities for fire pit, corn hole, and trail hike. Home is located within minutes of all activities we came for—horses, waterfalls, orchard and downtown areas.

Great Home Base For Mountain Fun

This cabin is well stocked making it easy to cook. There are hiking trails on the property which the little kids love. Plenty of room to let them run around and explore. The neighbors are a horse farm which makes for a nice evening stroll to look at the horses. Location is perfect especially if MTBing. We were riding the Ridgeline loop from the cabin. All of the DuPont access points are a very short drive. The entrance to Pisgah is a 15-20 minute drive.

Almost perfect, for DuPont gravel and MTB base camp!

The location of this great cabin/house is so great for cycling & hiking at DuPont State Forest.(Also very convenient to Hendersonville, Brevard, Pisgah National Forest, Saluda and Mountain Bridges, with all the amazing scenery and outdoor activities those places offer.) The house and grounds are very comfortable, spacious, peaceful and interesting. Everything we needed was there. Kitchen's great. A couple of nice trails are right out the door, w/ a fun, challenging scavenger hunt that my grandsons (and their parents, (and I) all ) really enjoyed doing. Steve, the caretaker, downstairs is super friendly and helpful.The fire pit was a big hit, w/plenty of split wood available. (Don't forget marshmallows at Ingles!) I gave this 5 stars, but I do have a couple of reservations- BE VERY CAREFUL ON THE STAIRS! The bedrooms are all upstairs, and the stairwell has a unique"false" landing" with a wide 2nd-to-last step that can fool your brain into thinking you are at the bottom. I went down on that dang thing and had a pretty painful weekend, (even though I stayed upright on my bike all weekend.) Also, the wooden steps that lead out to the backyard fire pit area are more narrow than normal, so just be extra careful the first few times, turn on all the lights, (there are plenty.) Hopefully David, the owner, will remedy the steps/stair landing issues before someone gets expensive-hurt. Otherwise, this was a great place to stay and I would stay again!

Perfect Cabin, Perfect Location

Our stay was close to perfect and everything was made super convenient. Our friend group is all aged 20 or less and that was not a problem at all. We were welcomed by Steve when we got there and he was helpful the whole trip when we needed him. The cabin is on a farm and 5 minutes or less away from Dupont Forest so you will never get bored. This place has everything you want and need for a getaway in the mountains.

Perfect location, cozy cabin!

We had six adults and two little kids staying at the cabin for a long weekend, and it was the perfect location for all our mountain biking and hiking plans! The cabin felt larger than the pictures, and we had plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for us all. The kids loved visiting the pigs and dogs at the farm down the road, riding bikes in the driveway, and exploring the short hiking trails on the property. I don't have words to express how wonderful Steve is - so kind, warm, and great with kids! We would love to return again someday!

Perfect mountain getaway

We enjoyed our vacation at this laid back log cabin. The decor is just what we wanted in a mountain home, rustic yet very comfortable. There were A/C conditioner units, in all bedrooms, which was ideal. The bathrooms were very clean, and the clawfoot tub was wonderful to bathe the two year old.. All VRBO descriptions were accurate. The view from the large front porch was actually better than described. We spent most of our time on this porch. The home is situated right behind an equestrian farm so we watched lots of horses running in the pastures. We were able to feed pigs and a ram. Mr. Steve the caretaker was so friendly and Knowledgeable of the property and the surrounding communities. We were a short drive to downtown Hendersonville and Brevard and Oskar Blues Brewery. We enjoyed walking the trails on the property as well. We are planning another trip here soon! Thank you for your hospitality.
