About this property

Cozy Cabin Apartment - 12 minutes from downtown Asheville

Lower level cabin apartment with separate and private entrance, (not the whole house.) Please do not select a check in or check out day on a Saturday. This platform does not allow hosts to adjust the settings.

Escape from the world in this beautiful newly built log cabin apartment. Wake up refreshed amongst a flower mural done by local Asheville artists. Then step outside on to your porch overlooking the forest. 10-15 minute drive to downtown and just about every other destination within city limits. Fully equipped kitchen, custom built shower, and a relaxing outdoor area. Built by the owners themselves.

- The space -
Just about everything in this space is brand new and has been completed along with the construction of the main home at the end of 2019. Private entrance and designated parking area. There's also a relaxing outdoor area with ample seating, a fire pit, hammock, and a view of the forest. 20 minutes to the entrance of The Biltmore Estate. 16 minutes to the entrance of the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway, 12 minutes to downtown.

We live in the main cabin above the apartment but we are quiet people and do whatever we can to keep any sort of noise to a minimum. We have 2 dogs who are trying their best to be courteous upstairs neighbors... You can expect to hear them going back and forth across the floor from time to time but we do our best to keep them quiet.

- Guest access -
Guest parking is on the lower level parking area on top of the driveway in front of the stone retaining wall. The entrance to the apartment is at the end of the concrete walkway. Self check-in.

- Note -
We do not have a washer and dryer on site so please plan accordingly. There are multiple laundromats within a 10-15 minute drive.

Lovely location

Beautiful location and lovely outdoor area! Cozy inside and plenty of room for two adults and smaller children. Lots of character and neat built-ins. If we were staying longer then the only thing we would have wanted was a stackable washer and dryer in the closet. Would love to visit again!

Small well designed

The place was very convenient to our daughter’s home. We admired the rustic touches. However it is quite small especially the bed which we had to climb over the end of the bed to get out of.

Perfect location and size

The location was easy to find and in an optimal spot. Close to downtown , art district, the river west Asheville and hiking trails! The decorations were so cute and seemed to all be locally sourced. The cleanliness of the cabin was awesome. With plenty of room it was really like your own private space , as the owners have the whole downstairs outdoor area dedicated for guests use. I would definitely recommend!

Awesome Stay

The place was awesome! Tranquility and peace were what we were looking for, and that’s exactly what we got!! I got to speak with Callie, (the wife ) and she was very hospitable. We also got to meet “Cookies” the very friendly dog, and she stole our hearts. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

We LOVED this place!

From the moment we were greeted with that cute sign outside the door and the twinkle lights on the porch to discovering all the special touches inside, we were smitten! The kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was REALLY comfortable! My granddaughter slept very well on the futon and we had great fun pulling the pad and bedding out from the hidey-hole behind the bookcase. The location was great and I’d highly recommend this little apartment!

Peaceful & Relaxing Get Away

My friend and I had a great visit together at this place. It was away from the city and very tranquil. The owners did a nice job decorating and supplying the place. The only thing we missed having was a full length mirror. It’s definitely a comfortable place for 2 people and a good home base to explore all that Asheville has to offer!

Great cabin and perfect location!!!

This place was simply great for my daughters(9 and 11) and I. The cabin has everything in it you may need and more! Outside the swing and hammock were comfy at all times of the day. My girls loved the fairy garden too, and picked some black berries for breakfast. Lots of board games and a nice bathroom as well. The laminated list of local hot spots was a great touch. The pull out couch was a perfect 2nd kiddo bed. Asheville is only 10 minutes away, French Broad White Water Rafting is 30 min and Navitat Zip Line only 30 min as well. We also saw over 20 deer each evening between 7-9pm when we went spotting. The hill has an awesome “loop” for it. We saw a bear and the cutest cub nearby up the road too. And lots of turkey as well. Is so cool being in the wilderness yet so close to town for shopping and food. Our truck cruised right up the driveway with ease to the perfectly perched rental!

About the host

Hosted by Timm Watrous

Host profile image
I'm a print maker and wood worker. I live in the main cabin with my partner Caleigh. Together, we enjoy working on various crafting projects, gardening/landscaping and getting out to enjoy the delicious food and beverages and natural scenery that the Asheville area has to offer.

We have a shepherd mix dog named Cookies who you may meet while you're here. She's friendly but her bark can be intimidating at first. Just call her by her name and ask if you can be friends. She'll say yes! We also have 3 cats :) We live a quiet lifestyle so hopefully you barely even know we're home, at least that's our goal.

Why they chose this property

Building and living in a log cabin has been a dream since childhood while playing with Lincoln Logs. Now we get to create a beautiful landscape and share our little piece of paradise with guests. We hope it feels welcoming and relaxing during your stay!
