The Deer Haven Cabin in Candler, NC, was the perfect gateway to Asheville. Located in Pisgah National Forest about 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, you have the best of a natural area and urban life within minutes of e/o. The cabin was immaculate, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Host Dave met us upon arrival and told us about the momma bear and cub who had been seen at the cabin earlier in the week. (We didn't see them, but did see Dave's rendition.) Although we didn't ultimately use the hot tub or the pool, both were inviting. We highly recommend Deer Haven Cabin.
