Albee Ridge Cabin exceeded all expectations during my two-week stay. This cabin offered the perfect blend of charm and convenience, while getting away from it all. The cabin was a cozy haven and accommodated our six-person family very well. The bedrooms were very comfortable, while the rustic decor created a welcoming and charming atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze, and the cozy living areas provided the perfect spots for relaxation. The decks provided beautiful vistas and the sounds of the rushing creek added a soothing touch to the serene escape. The mountain air was refreshing and invigorating in July! The location was ideal for outdoor adventures. Hiking trails, scenic drives, and wildlife sightings, allowing us to explore the wonders of the Blue Ridge. Albee Ridge Cabin is a magical retreat and we plan to stay here again. ##### Michelle R. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### elizabeth b.

Location is fantastic just a short drive to the slopes and tubing is just down the street! We had everything we needed in the house and there was more than enough room for our family!

This cabin is even better than it looks in the listing. We had 7 adults sharing this beautiful cabin and all of us loved it. The beds are comfortable, there is plenty of seating to eat, sit and talk, and play games. The location is beautiful and the cabin has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We would definitely return. ##### Kate S. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodi V.

The linens to the furniture to the toiletries and the little extras like tea and coffee and even a welcome gift were all top of the line! We will definitely stay here again and a wee bit longer than a weekend. ##### Jodi V. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate S.

Very comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Great wifi for surfing and streaming. Nice quiet location in the trees with the sound of the rushing creek across the street. Everything we needed for a great mountain getaway and close to great shops and restaurants in Mars Hill, Weaverville and Burnsville. Can’t wait to return! ##### Kate S.

Jun 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Choice This was an amazing location away from the hustle and bustle of 12 hour days for National Dance convention and competition. Early morning and early evening visits from the deer were a great addition. Close to Asheville (competition location), Biltmore is a must, kid-friendly zip lining, tubing, late night around fire pit made this busy week fun and refreshing. Everything we needed to prepare meals was readily available, owners were quick to respond. Definitely a place we’d visit in the future ##### Kim J.

The house was clean and they had so many board games for the kids to play . They also recently opened up a convince store right up the road that we enjoyed walking to in the morning for breakfast sandwiches and coffees . They also offer ice cream and so much more . The house was perfect for a family to just get a away and enjoy nature . We made s’mores in the fire pit and the kids explored the little creek across the street from the house . Would definitely go again! ##### Nathalia R.
