Photos and Description of the Asheville vacation cabin rental
2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, sleeps 6

This architect designed split-level cabin, 'Mountain Laurel', is situated on a ridgetop of Hickory Nut Mountain at an elevation of 2900 feet at Gateway Mountain, a gated nature preserve and mountain residential community. The cabin sits on four acres surrounded by a hardwood forest with pastoral valleys and distant mountain views. Quiet surroundings allow the guest to experience the woods and her creatures with no distractions from city and traffic noise. There is a waterfall, a stocked trout pond and 2 lakes in the development.

Conveniently located near Asheville and Black Mountain, Gateway Mountain is an easy drive just 7 miles off I40, which situates you midway between the city of Asheville and the Biltmore and, 15 miles from the resort town of Black Mountain with its quaint antique and gift shops and good selection of restaurants.

'Mountain Laurel' provides a serene environment for a 'get away from it all' experience.

Winter activities: There is skiing, snow boarding and tubing available near Boone NC.

Christmas at the Biltmore is a very special occasion.

Summer activities: July 4th party and fireworks display at Lake Lure. Summer concerts in Black Mountain. The Leaf festival takes place in May and October. Asheville has minor league baseball and the Bele Chere festival, one of the largest outdoor music events in the US.

Wonderful Getaway!

It took me a minute to get time to write this review, but I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the cabin and its owner. I was coming off a death in the family and really needed to get away from everything. This was just the place! Being the city dweller that I am, just driving up the mountain to get there was breathtakingly beautiful. The cabin itself was so awesome, clean, scenic views...we took so many pictures! Deer wandered past the kitchen as we cooked breakfast one morning! Very nice, and the owner, Lynne was more than a pleasure to deal with. I've told all my friends and family and the next break I get I am definitely going to try to get back! Loved it, loved it, loved it! And you will too! :-)
Owner's Response: Thank you SO much for taking the time to post comments and Tim and I are glad that you found peace and happiness in this beautiful place. We always do too! We look forward to your return.

Christmas Vacation 2012

My family and I stayed in this beautiful cottage for 1 week and had a wonderful time. The amenities offered made us feel as if we had never left the comforts of our own home. While the location is secluded, offering peace and privacy, we were also close to the Historic Asheville and Downtown Asheville areas. Not only were we able to shop in these wonderful little towns, but we were also able to conveniently access amazing hiking.

The views in the pictures provided online are an exact representation of the cottage and you get exactly what you pay for and more.

My family and I have decided that we will be returning to this cottage in the future.

Wonderful Place to Be

5 of 5
Submitted: October 28, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
I truly LOVED everything about this home. It far surpassed my expectations. It's a beautiful place with high ceilings, wood floors and attractive furnishings. I loved the large bathroom in the master bedroom and the bed was so comfortable. The view out the picture window was just gorgeous - everyday it was different - like a fine-art painting that constantly changed. Being up so high on the mountain inspires. The house would be a great place to write a book or create a work of art. Would love to come back soon and do just that.

Peace and tranquility

We just returned from one week. The house is beautifully situated in the mountains. The kitchen is well equipped and everything lived up to our expectation, we were not disappointed in any ways.The area have so many things to offer, that you can't complete them in one week. Asheville is only 25 minutes away and you can get to Chimney rock and Grand Farther Mountains in less than an hour or you can just drive around in the back country; it is really nice. This is not the last time we will visit this area.

Cabin and owner are first class!

I am so glad that my family has a chance to stay at this mountain-side gem during our visit to Asheville. My wife typically takes care of hotel reservation, but I stepped up this time, found this place and hit a home run. It’s everything the description says and more! The cabin is well-maintained, is very nicely decorated and comes with all the amenities we need. My 11-yr-old son and I fished at a nearby a pond, and we had a great time enjoying the tranquility the area has to offer. Also, Lynne was so helpful and nice! We forgot several items at the house when we left (OK, my fault on this one), and Lynne just took care of them for us, no question asked :-). If anyone plans a stay in a mountain cabin in Asheville, this is the place to be. There are so many things to do in Asheville, and we wished we had scheduled more time to spend here. Look forward to be back in the near future.
