Rustic Cabin, Appalachian Elegance, Rural But Close

As of May 23, 2020, my cabin is available for rent. I will follow CDC guidelines on cleaning, using an EPA-approved disinfectant for COVID-19 between customers. Thank you, George Stanley.

Appalachia at its best. A mountain cabin re-created within the basement (first floor, ground level) of my home for your pleasure. Private entrance(s), covered deck/patio, open deck, great view, very private setting.

The location has an East-West orientation, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage.

The cabin is fully self contained. It has its own kitchen, bath with shower (no tub), and a small living/dining area. One bedroom with a king size bed.

Centrally located between I-40 and I-26, on Busbee Mountain, the property borders the Biltmore Estate and blends in with the Blue Ridge Parkway at an elevation of 3,346 feet. To get a real glimpse of the property, go to https://youtu.be/gd66YZ9MEsE

Well behaved pets are more than welcome!

Great getaway

George's home is in a magical place and the "cabin" (lower floor) is very well outfitted. Wonderful place to spend a few days! And George is such a kind host. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

A mountain gem!

This was a perfect weekend getaway for me and my dog. George was very responsive and his instructions on how the get to the property and check in were clear. The cabin has a gorgeous view of the mountains, with a massive patio along with windows in the cabin to see the view, even from the bed. The kitchen was nicely stocked and there’s a gas bbq on the patio. The bed was comfortable and there’s plenty of fans, heaters and a window unit AC for extra cooling if needed. The location is far enough to feel unplugged but close enough to be in the city of Asheville in 15 minutes. The road to George’s property is steep but completely paved and the road is completely cleared from any debris. I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a mountain getaway!

Perfect Cabin in the Mountains

As soon as we saw this cabin, and met George Stanley, we knew we were going to have a fantastic vacation. View of the mountains from the cabin is absolutely gorgeous. Cabin is cozy, comfortable and decorated with antiques. Location is great. And there are so many things to do in this area. We are definitely planning to return.

Mountain Stay

George’s property is located up on the mountain just outside of downtown Asheville. The road was steep to get there but the views were great off the porch. It was very cool to see the sunrise over the mountains. It was also very nice to have a dog friendly place to stay. While seeing the bears was cool, we felt conflicted and can’t condone feeding the bears.

Panoramic view in quietness close to the action

Enjoyed our stay at George’s cabin. The views are spectacular to the eastern sky when the sun comes up in the morning. The road there is interesting, but doable and the property is quite comfortable. We enjoyed conversing with George and the check in and check out props for us were seamless. We hope to return in the future.

Our host George is a wonderful man who will make sure your stay is special. The cabin is cozy and clean. So much to do In Asheville and even though you are on top of a mountain- you’re not far from Biltmore and other sites. We will be back. That’s a definite!! Thanks again George!

A Really Enjoyable Stay!

It was really enjoyable to stay at this place! Very Cozy and Homey. Very clean and has all the little things you need in case you forgot to bring them with you (coffee, cream, etc.). When the weather allows, the views are breathtaking. The host, George, his hospitality and welcome greetings makes this place the lost gem of get-away-places. We visited the Biltmore Estate. It worked out well as far as driving distance, and finding places to eat. We hope to go back. We definitely recommend it.

Bear central

We absolutely adored the cabin we stayed in! We had such a good anniversary, and adventure in Asheville. George is such a kind host, and had truly to most special experiences to share. The view from the cabin was just phenomenal. I can’t even express how beautiful that sunrise was, and you face the east so you get the full experience. Then the neighborhood bears oh my goodness. Not only did we see multiple bears, but we saw a momma and her 3 cubs! George would tell us when they would come so we could go out and watch them. We will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful, but Cold

Built out basement with a cabin feel, the views are tremendous, the owner an absolute joy, the rooms well built and appointed and clean. The shower is a bit small for an average size adult, but with all the appliances and kitchen space, you can cook meals for yourself. The only other thing is remember to bring a heavy jacket and headgear in early spring as it gets cold and the wind chill on the ridge is fierce. Also, out of season can see road and picnic spot closures at the BRNP. Be prepared for a bit of a climb on the road up. The wife and I and our husky mix Boyd enjoyed our stay as it is a comfortable environment if the weather is bad. And the location is near the BRNP and other sites. George is a great host. Highly recommended.

Great experience start to finish

It's a long and winding road leading to George's cabin in the woods, but so worth it! Even though you're only a few miles from shopping and access to major highways, you'd never know it as you sit on the deck sipping coffee or a glass of wine, and watching the sun setting behind the Blue Ridge Mountains. Not only is the accommodation peaceful and relaxing, it's also well-maintained and well-equipped. The smallish kitchen is part of the living room/den, but has everything you'd need, including 3 kinds of coffee makers (we were pleased to have access to a stovetop espresso maker!), toaster, microwave, plenty of pots and pans, dishes and cutlery. Bed was super comfy king-sized with much better pillows than you usually find, cozy bedroom, small but efficient bathroom with surprisingly plenty of space to keep toiletries. We spent quite a bit of time on the deck, just enjoying the view and the sun. If all that wasn't enough, the fee is very reasonable, and George is one of the friendliest, nicest guys you'll ever meet. Highest recommendation for anyone staying in or around Asheville.

Fabulous stay on tge mountain top!

Everything was flawless! The unit is exactly as described, plus quaint and cute. It has everything one needs to be comfortable and to enjoy the serenity of the gorgeous views! It's located so close to Ashville, Black mountain, and other smaller towns to walk, eat, and enjoy. There are 2 unexpected bonuses here...George is a super wonderful person, just a great guy! And the bear sightings! We enjoyed our stay tremendously! We will be back!

On top of Mt Busbee with some of the most awesome views I have ever seen. And the Bears. Wow. Mama Bear and cubs were the first ones that greeted us when we turned the curve to "George's Cabin". When we turned into driveway, we were gr3ted by our Host, George, who escorted us to cabin and gave us some information about th mountains, ingcluding Mt Mitchell . Because of the generosity of our Host, the cabin setting, and the most Awesome and ever-changing mountains, I felt "at peace wi5h everything.
