About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

3 Bedrooms, 2½ baths, mountain cabin dog-friendly

At 2989 feet above sea level, “Hikers Hideaway” is located above the Township of Bat Cave, only a few miles from Chimney Rock Village & Lake Lure and just under 20 miles from Biltmore Estate & Asheville. “Hikers Hideaway” is a real mountain cabin and real mountain roads bring you to it so AWD/4WD is required to access the cabin. Check out longer stay for potential discount.

Nestled high in the woods of Grant Mountain among the mountain laurel on a 4-acre lot, the only sense of civilization evident in the majestic view is two cabins further down the mountain. “Hikers Hideaway” is a 3-story, 3-bedroom, 2½-bath Custom Heritage Log Home featuring heart pine floors, a cozy stone fireplace with remote-controlled gas logs and vaulted ceilings.
The third story is host to a unique loft-style master bedroom suite with walk-in closet and crow's nest which overlooks the den and picturesque views through triangular apex windows. Main floor has a fully functional spacious kitchen and dining area with second-story accesses to the full-length porch where one can enjoy peaceful, lush mountain views of the Hickory Nut Gorge opposing Mountain Range and south-east to the end of the Gorge and beyond. Downstairs are two bedrooms and a full bathroom plus access to the lower full-length porch with similar views to the main level porch.

Sleeping Accommodations:
Lower level has one queen bed and a daybed with roll-out bed for a total of three beds. Main level has another daybed with roll-out bed to sleep two more. Master bedroom has a queen bed making a grand total of 6 beds to easily accommodate up to 8 guests.

Accessibility:
The moment you turn off the highway and your tires hit the dirt you can't help but feel the steep incline of the road and there is no doubt you are driving up a mountain to your vacation getaway. Each switchback elevates you further from the stress of your daily routine. Private mountain roads can be steep in areas and are susceptible to weather such as rain and snow. The drive up the mountain is 0.8 mile of unpaved dirt road.

Amenities:
Internet, TV, Apple lightening to AV adapter, Air Conditioning, Full kitchen with Microwave, Stove, Refrigerator, Cooking utensils, and Keurig coffee maker, gas grill, Washer and Dryer in main level bathroom. The pilot light of the indoor fireplace may need to be reignited. Please follow the instructions we sent in the house manual. We cannot monitor the amount of propane in the tanks. We encourage guests to bring a tank or refill the tanks onsite if they are empty. Our cleaning company does not clean the grill, and guests are expected to be respectful of each other and clean it after each use.

Pets:
We allow up to two well-trained dogs. Please inform us of your dogs at your booking and check the pet box in your reservation.

A non-refundable one-time pet fee of $30 for EACH dog (maximum 2 dogs. Please ask if more than 2) will be charged. Pet fee for the second dog will be charged after the reservation is confirmed. Guests are responsible for supervision and removing any traces of your pets including picking up after them outside. Any extra cleaning needed will result in additional cleaning fees.

Nice but access is limited
Cabin is beautiful but inaccessible for anyone without a 4WD. Last mile is steep twisting gravel road with several soft spots even in good weather . We could not make it uphill and slid backwards into ditch having to be towed before we could even unpack. The next day we ventured out and again got stuck just attempting to get to the cleared spot short of the driveway trying to back uphill enough to get into spot , sustained more $ damage to my SUV than the 4 days rental - called it a loss and went home early. Again weather was perfect!

Perfectly relaxing vacation
Our family of five (three kids age 16-21 and my husband and I) stayed for five days and had a wonderful time! First, the final 5 mins of the drive up the mountain is very steep, but my Mazda3 hatchback did fine (the road was mostly dry). The property itself is very remote - about 30 mins to the nearest grocery store, but the drive up and down was so gorgeous, we did not mind. The cabin itself had everything we needed, including sheets, pillows, kitchen supplies and food like oil, flour, sugar, spices and tons of syrup. The washer dryer was much needed and appreciated, though we did have a little trouble turning it on. The bathrooms came with hair dryers which was also very appreciated. The hosts deserve an A+++ for responsiveness and friendliness. We had a storm on our first day and they checked in on us like they actually cared! I didn’t expect that. What a pleasant surprise. We played games, watched movies, and relaxed. It was a wonderful stay.

Cabin was really clean and the kitchen was fully equipped with plenty of kitchenware. Glen and Min communicated from before the trip until the very end. We enjoyed our time there with our friends and it made our last summer with our daughter a memorable one! The only thing I would suggest is that the drive up to the cabin would be easier if you had a 4 WD vehicle. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin Glen and Min!!

Great house
Everything was accurate to the listing. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, the furniture was nice. One thing I'd recommend people looking to come here are aware of, is that the house is not easily accessible by sedans or small cars. The road up the mountain to the house is extremely steep, and two of the smaller sedans we brought had a very rough time up, to the point where we had to have some people get out of the car to make it up. The location was very nice. We were close to Asheville and Lake Lure, both of which were fun locations that had a lot of stuff to do. And the house was very high up in a mountain, which had great views. The hosts were also very responsive, and any time we had an issue they were able to respond quickly. I thought the dinner plates were very enjoyable. My favorites were the white square ones, that felt like they were always just the right size for the food I was eating, and they were easy to clean off. The fact that they were a square a not a circle was novel, and made them enjoyable to eat off of. Overall the house was a great time, at a good location, with good amenities.

We met friends at the loveliest cabin. It was cozy and comfortable and simply beautiful. Located near enough to town but hidden away to enjoy the tranquility of the mountains. Our hosts were attentive and always prompt to respond to our questions. We hope to return in the summer.

Perfect getaway
I have stayed at other places through VRBO. This one was the best. Plenty of room. Plenty of seating for the amount of people we had. This was a family get together because we weren’t able to get together for the holidays and we live in three different states. We loved everything about the place. Thank you so much for letting us stay at this house. We will always keep this place in mind when we do this get together again in the future. 5 stars for sure! Gina

Sweet place to hide away
We truly enjoyed our time here. It’s a lovely home with everything you need for time away from the world. We were a little sad leaving! The fireplace is a plus and heats the house quickly. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and bowls and good knives (important cuz we love to cook). Be prepared for the last few hundred yards as you drive up a very steep hill. (Use a low gear.) You have to pack out your trash, but it’s no big deal at all to drop it off at the campground. The hosts were really attentive and sweet. We would definitely return to this little hideaway.

Great cabin, loved it. Vey clean. Best part was the condition of the pots and pans, typically all you ever get is horribly scratched ones, also plenty of shared pantry items and ingredients. For us FL people it was cold so the fireplace was a treat, would prefer control of a thermastat, The owners were accommodating by getting us a traditional coffee machine and checking propane for us as well, Too many emails asking for a 5 star review and a touch too many rules in the cabin but I get it. Be prepared for an intense drive on the road to the cabin, not for novice drivers.
