About this property

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!

This cozy cabin was perfect for our Asheville weekend getaway! Close to everything we had planned, yet tucked away enough to feel completely secluded. Even cuter in person and spotless! We loved our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The space is well thought out, decorated in a way that provides that cabin feel to it. Clean & comfortable. Our host George was very friendly, yet allowed us space. Scenery is stunning! You'll have views both directions including the Biltmore grounds. Although it's on top of a mountain, it's less than 20 mins to town. We even got to see some bears. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay with great views and close proximity to the city! This is my second stay at George’s property and it’s such a nice place and a fantastic value. It’s quiet and secluded but you’ll be in the city within 15 minutes. My dog and I both enjoyed our stay and we’ll be back!

Such a wonderful, inviting and quaint cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The mountain views are stunning - we even got to enjoy a little dusting of snow. And then there’s George- he is such a welcoming and warm host. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to visit again. Dale & Debbie

The kitchen had everything we needed. I liked the lights by the bed. It was dark and could flip the light on easily. Plenty of places to sit outside. It had a nice deck to sit and relax. We preferred the bench in the sun, very relaxing. George was very helpful and fun to talk to. It got chilly in the eve and the fireplace heat was a nice addition! It was decorated as the ad, rustic- very nice!
