Quiet mountain retreat
We stayed five days in Wright's Cabin and would have liked to stay longer. The cabin was just as the pictures showed. Each day we commented on what a great place this was. Eric, the owner, was incredibly helpful on giving us a list of things to do around Asheville and eating establishments. The caretaker Roger was a great guy as well, he felt like the kind neighbor you have always had and known.
Both kids ages 12 and 9 had a great time, the laughter and giggles from the tree swing, the loft upstairs or chasing a rabbit up by the barn lasted all week. There is lots to do and see in the area. We went ro Biltmore, the Blue Ridge Parkway to Cherokee, and Chimney Rock. The best memories are of my son building the fire in the outdoor fire pit for smores, and sitting creek side holding my daughter's hand just listening to the water run by.

Perfection
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your cabin. As you know, it really is picture perfect and we felt like we lucked out with a good mix of rain and sun. It was nice to wake up with the rain on the tin roof and look out the window at the lush green grounds. The location is ideal, just close enough to downtown but you still feel removed from everything.

I Enjoyed My Stay
I spent two days at the log cabin and had a wonderful time. The owners were easy to deal with and the manager was pleasant and helpful. The cabin is truly a showplace, and the setting is beautiful. While I stayed by myself, the cabin could easily support several people. Everything was well-maintained and the modern elements were up-to-date. There was satellite TV and internet connectivity. It was, in essence, comfortably rustic. Without question, I would stay there again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Nature's peace and quiet

What a wonderful stay we had at this great log cabin. Tucked into the hillside, next to the stream, we enjoyed walking the property and sitting on the big tree swing. The house was very well outfitted...a well-stocked kitchen and everything was organized to make the cozy space everything we could want. You feel miles away from everything, but it's just minutes to the grocery store and a little farther to Downtown Asheville, Biltmore, shopping and nightlife. We loved it!

Great Log Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay! The log cabin is very comfortable, nicely appointed and historically interesting. The owners take good care of it, and we felt at home from the minute we got there. We'd like to return when the weather is a tad warmer, so we could enjoy the creek, and the outdoor activities around. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay near Asheville, but also get to have a bit of nature and quiet.

Amazing Weekend
What a wonderful place. We completely fell in love with the cabin. You can tell the owners take great pride in the place and are very easy to work with. We rented the cabin for a moms weekend away. I would highly recommend this cabin for a girls weekend or for sure a romantic getaway. I would not recommend this place if you have small children. The originally staircase is awesome but not very small child friendly. Thank you so much for opening up your loving place for rentals we will definately be back as often as we can.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind comments. Most of all, thank you for leaving the
cabin in perfect condition, we will welcome you back next October with open arms!!
In regards to small children, we have them ourselves & love kids at the cabin... As the main bedroom & bathroom are downstairs, we just block off the loft staircase (when kids under age 5 are around).
I agree with you about the staircase itself... It's steep & made out of trees, (see photos) not a good place for toddlers !!
We suggest bringing a "pack & play" for those with tiny tots.
Thanks again!!

Perfect
We enjoyed every moment in the cabin, and walking around the farmland was so special -- seeing the old barn, imagining what it was like in the days long ago. This cabin is definitely a place to rest, to get away from it all, but there are plenty of things to do and places to eat around there. One day we rode down to Chimey Rock and Lake Lure and enjoyed that as well. Our whole trip is what I would consider a perfect vacation.
We enjoyed talking with the caretaker of the property, who met us when we arrived and when we left. He is a perfect fit there.

Great, rustic stay
I fell in love wth the cabin whenI saw it. I was fortunate to stay there for two weeks in mid-July, 2011. Everyone involved was lovely and helpful and the tree swing was just what I needed.

Perfect Vacation
When we pulled into the driveway, we knew we were someplace special. You just don't see places like this anymore. We were all sad to leave and hope to return every year (fall or winter, too). The cabin was amazing, plenty of space, modern kitchen, and history everywhere. We played board games in the pavilion, hiked the mountain, told stories by the fire, splashed in the creek, and roasted marshmallows. The kids loved it. This was all in addition to the white water rafting, dinners in Asheville, blue grass concerts, black bear sighting, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, zipline adventures, scenic railroad, etc. etc. We love North Carolina, and we are now especially attached to Wright's Cabin.......wish we could have thanked Mr. and Mrs. Wright in person for allowing us to stay on their farm.
