Photos and Description of the Old Fort vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4-7)

This new log cabin is a great place to relax and enjoy nature at its finest. Nestled away on a private mountain lot, yet conveniently located to many area attractions.

The cabin is a 2 bedroom each having its own bathroom with a loft for additional sleeping or TV watching. There is a queen bed in each bedroom. The loft has a pull out sleeper sofa and a pull out sleeper chair. Wood floors, tile, and carpeting add to its natural wood beauty. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and silestone countertops with a breakfast bar. The gas burning fireplace adds to the already comfortable and cozy atmosphere in the large open living area. The 4 person Hot Tub is a great way to unwind and enjoy the view from the back deck.

Relax and enjoy the mountain views from the wrap around deck or hike to nearby Lake George for fishing, swimming, and picnicking.

Privacy is guaranteed as the cabin sits on almost 3 acres in gated Gateway Mountain surrounded by mountain laurel and a lush hardwood forest. A trout pond and a waterfalls complete with picnic area welcomes guests year round.

Close to The Biltmore Estate, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock Park, Historic Black Mountain, Mt. Mitchell State Park, Lake James, Linville Caverns, and Maggie Valley. You can be as busy as you want or as laid back as you need! Visit the Gateway Mountain website for more information and pictures.

About Sharon

My husband and I grew up near the mountains in Pennsylvania and spent our childhoods hiking, fishing, and camping. When we vacationed in Gateway Mountain we loved the natural surroundings and breathtaking views that were all around us. We decided to purchase this vacation home so that we could revisit the beauty and tranquility of the mountains whenever possible without the hassle of hotels or condominiums.

Sharon purchased this cabin in 2008
Why Sharon chose Old Fort

Gateway Mountain is our quiet, relaxing home away from home. The developers kept the natural beauty of the mountains while providing Gateway residents and visitors with the security of a gated community. Our home is within a short drive to beautiful Asheville, NC which provides plenty of year round activities for everyone in our family.

What makes this cabin unique

Gateway Mountain has many areas to hike, fish, swim, nature watch, and explore. It is also conveniently located so that in a short drive you can get to Lake Lure, Chimney Rock Park, Asheville, Black Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Caverns, Granfather Mountain, Little Switzerland, Catawba Falls,and other areas which offer a variety of year round activities.

Wonderful Weekend away!!

  • Submitted: Jul 2, 2012
  • Stayed: Jun 2012
This cabin is fabulous! Everything it promised to be: secluded, lovely views, very clean, and had just about everything we needed. As others have said, the drive up is a tad tricky, but totally worth it! The wrap around porch with rockers and a hot tub were also a hit!

Our only critique was the lack of internet, but that may be a plus for some! We didn't mind it, but with a lack of AT&T cell signal, we had to wait to get back down the mountain to research anything on the internet. It was nice to be forced to unplug though!

We will deffinitly be visiting this cabin again! We had a wonderful time and were so impressed with how nice everyone in the community were!

Thank you so much for a great stay. This property had just about everything we needed. The pictures are accurate. The home is beautiful! We really enjoyed soaking in the hot tub after long days of riding our motorcycles on the beautiful mountain roads. The property was very clean and well-maintained. Just one small warning for other bikers, the driveway can be a bit tricky, but we made out fine with it....one other thing that was very impressive, we received our deposit back in 4 business days!! Wow!!

Privacy in the Mountains

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: May 19, 2012

If privacy is your idea of a great get-a-way, this is your place. Quiet and secluded. Photos of this property are 100% correct. No cropping to hide or disguise undesirable traits. New and clean. We stayed in the spring but I think the really great time to be at this property would be the fall. The colors would be spectacular. My only critiques: NEEDS WI-FI. To far back in the mountains to receive cell service and no internet. It is a 20 minute drive down the mountain to the gate and another 15 minutes into town where there is free WI-Fi at several places. However, this is not desirable when you are trying to make reservations or research activities. The cost of this property is so reasonable that I think no one would mind paying $25 or $50 more a week to have internet service. I also recommend that you arrive at the property for the first time during daylight. The road in is winding, narrow and not as clearly marked as one would hope. A GPS with the proper coordinates made the drive much safer. I would not recommend this property in winter without a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The other secret is the nearby little town of Black Mountain. Closer than Asheville, friendlier and much more reasonably priced. Also, since the property is so remote, I would have liked to see a more expansive cooking utensil and pan situation since it is so pleasant just to stay on the property. Ingles is a wonderful store to provide all your provisions. It is in Black Mountain.
Wonderful stay..........would book it again.

great vacation spot

The cabin was everything that was advertised. The hot tub was great, the weather was cool, and after the dash to the hot tub, it was heaven. The fireplace inside was great too. The home is literally on the mountain as advertised, and once i went up the mountain road i didn't find it too intimidating. I never tried it after dark though. It was close enough to activities, and far enough on it's own to be really refreshing. Great place for a great price.

What a wonderful getaway spot. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is very secluded. Despite being out in the middle of nowhere, Asheville is only a short drive away. The views were breathtaking, the home is exquisite, and the price cannot be beat. Thanks for opening up your home and allowing us in. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back again.
