Photos and Description of the Old Fort vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 10-12)

Convenient to everything...but a million miles away. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath log home is located on beautiful Gateway Mountain near Black Mountain and Lake Lure.

Enjoy beautiful layered mountain views from the deck, toast marshmallows in the outdoor fire pit, cook--or don't cook--in a modern kitchen, curl up on a comfy sofa and enjoy a crackling fire.

Surround yourself with natural stone and beautiful woodwork, fresh air and a night sky full of stars. This property is located on 5+ acres, is gated and very private. A true getaway.

Located on Gateway Mountain, amenities include a private lake for swimming, a trout pond, hiking trails and a waterfall park.

Head into Asheville for great restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Lake Lure is nearby for big lake swimming and boating. Explore quirky shops and restaurants in Black Mountain. Or never step foot off the mountain. Your vacation. Your choice.

Mid-March stay at the Thomas cabin

5 of 5
Submitted: March 18, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Thomas cabin. The view from the front porch was fabulous as were the views throughout the gated neighborhood. The waterfall park and Lake George were great photo opportunities for our son who is working on a degree in graphic design. The views throughout the neighborhood were most impressive. He had so much wildlife to photograph, also! We had everything we needed in the cabin. I would have been perfectly happy just staying there and not leaving the property at all. Lori was very helpful and responsive. We hope to return soon.

Loved it!

5 of 5
Submitted: December 3, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
The home was beautiful! So cozy and comfy, we didn't want to leave. The view from the porch is simply amazing! It is amazing how many mountains you can see from the comfort of the rocking chairs - they just go on and on and are beautiful. One morning, I watched the sunrise right through the mountains - what a treat. The fireplace was used all weekend long and the kids loved the pie irons - we made numerous meals that way. The pie irons would be great in the outdoor fire pit as well. We ended up never leaving the community, as the waterfall park was great to explore, we saw wildlife in a few places, and it was just too pretty and comfortable to be bothered going elsewhere. The accommodations in the home were perfect, very well-maintained. The owners were excellent about communicating before and after our stay. Highly recommend it - we sure hope to return ourselves!

Very Comfortable

5 of 5

This was our third stay and we look forward to another vacation at the Thomas Cabin. The cabin has everything you need for time away from home including a very comfortable king bed, outstanding outdoor space including a large patio with fire pit and dining table, a spacious front porch with rocking chairs to watch the sun set or rise, and a wood burning indoor fireplace. Within the course of a week, we were fortunate to experience a couple of seasons including extremely warm days and then winter came on with small snow flakes toward the end of our stay. We love Gateway Mountain and being able to visit Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Asheville and all kinds of hiking trails within minutes drive of the cabin. The owner is very available to answer questions or assist if needed. We look forward to another visit!

Fall Fun

I don't even know where to begin. Absolutely amazing! The pictures don't come close to how beautiful this cabin is and how breathtaking the view is. Not to mention the absolute peace and quiet. Just heavenly! It had everything and more that you needed; even down to firewood and starter provided for the fire pit and fireplace. Proximity to Black Mountain, Asheville , Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure is ideal. Lori couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Our family had a wonderful time and would love to go back!!
