We stayed in the cabin several days over Christmas break. We picked the cabin based on its location and size. We have family in the Arden and Asheville area, and despite knowing the area super well, we had no idea that there were areas like where the cabin is located with long range mountain views. The views were absolutely breathtaking. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning enjoying our coffee and watching the sunrise.
We stayed in the cabin with our four kids (ages 10-16) and two small dogs. We loved turning on the fireplace and watching movies in the family room. Two of our kids loved the hot tub. The house was also perfectly set up for the dogs because there is an area in the front that can be closed off for them to run without leashes.
The cabin was the perfect size for us. The beds and linens were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, including lots of countertop space. The family room and dining table easily sat all of us.
The driveway is steep when you first pull in, and I can see how it could be intimidating, especially for someone not used to driving in the mountains. My husband and I drove separately, and it was easy for us to park two SUVs in the driveway.
