Rustic Cabin, Appalachian Elegance, Rural But Close

As of May 23, 2020, my cabin is available for rent. I will follow CDC guidelines on cleaning, using an EPA-approved disinfectant for COVID-19 between customers. Thank you, George Stanley.

Appalachia at its best. A mountain cabin re-created within the basement (first floor, ground level) of my home for your pleasure. Private entrance(s), covered deck/patio, open deck, great view, very private setting.

The location has an East-West orientation, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage.

Centrally located between I-40 and I-26, on Busbee Mountain, the property borders the Biltmore Estate and blends in with the Blue Ridge Parkway at an elevation of 3,346 feet. To get a real glimpse of the property, go to https://youtu.be/gd66YZ9MEsE

Well behaved pets are more than welcome!

Such a wonderful, inviting and quaint cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The mountain views are stunning - we even got to enjoy a little dusting of snow. And then there’s George- he is such a welcoming and warm host. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to visit again. Dale & Debbie

Wonderful stay with great views and close proximity to the city! This is my second stay at George’s property and it’s such a nice place and a fantastic value. It’s quiet and secluded but you’ll be in the city within 15 minutes. My dog and I both enjoyed our stay and we’ll be back!

Every time I leave George’s cabin, I daydream about the next time I can return. The moments spent in Ollie’s (George’s Camp Cat-selor) company and watching Mama Bear with her adorable cubs—at a safe distance, of course—are truly unforgettable. It’s heartwarming to see the beautiful space that George has created, where both wildlife and humans can harmoniously coexist. It’s a remarkable sanctuary that resonates with the soul.

Fabulous stay on tge mountain top!

Everything was flawless! The unit is exactly as described, plus quaint and cute. It has everything one needs to be comfortable and to enjoy the serenity of the gorgeous views! It's located so close to Ashville, Black mountain, and other smaller towns to walk, eat, and enjoy. There are 2 unexpected bonuses here...George is a super wonderful person, just a great guy! And the bear sightings! We enjoyed our stay tremendously! We will be back!

Mountain High

On top of Mt Busbee with some of the most awesome views I have ever seen. And the Bears. Wow. Mama Bear and cubs were the first ones that greeted us when we turned the curve to "George's Cabin". When we turned into driveway, we were gr3ted by our Host, George, who escorted us to cabin and gave us some information about th mountains, ingcluding Mt Mitchell . Because of the generosity of our Host, the cabin setting, and the most Awesome and ever-changing mountains, I felt "at peace wi5h everything.

We had a great time at the cabin. My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days without the kids, and this was the perfect place. Quiet, peaceful, great view, close drive to downtown. George was a great host. We would definitely go back if we get the chance.

A mountain gem!

This was a perfect weekend getaway for me and my dog. George was very responsive and his instructions on how the get to the property and check in were clear. The cabin has a gorgeous view of the mountains, with a massive patio along with windows in the cabin to see the view, even from the bed. The kitchen was nicely stocked and there’s a gas bbq on the patio. The bed was comfortable and there’s plenty of fans, heaters and a window unit AC for extra cooling if needed. The location is far enough to feel unplugged but close enough to be in the city of Asheville in 15 minutes. The road to George’s property is steep but completely paved and the road is completely cleared from any debris. I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a mountain getaway!

Sad we couldn't make it, but our host's knowledge of the area and the problems during the hurricane was impeccable. I hope we can make our trip actually happen someday. Thanks again!
