Our dream was to own a house, preferably a cabin, on top of a mountain with long range views and a gradual winding road to the top. Living in Boone, this dream was definitely out of reach. When we began our search for a new home in the Asheville area, we discovered that the more affordable homes were in fact on the mountains. Perfect! In general I always have a pretty positive outlook on what’s possible, however, I was skeptical that we would ever find our dream home. As Jeannie began her Zillow browsing adventures, one particular cabin with acreage, that was outside of our budget continued to pop up. Jeannie would delete it and then it would come back. At some point the price began to drop, and drop, and drop. On our way back into town one weekend after attending a wedding, I convinced Jeannie to drive by the cabin just because we had the time. Immediately we fell in love and reached out to our realtor buddy. It was more of a shot in the dark but it couldn’t hurt, right? We held our breath for the next month totally expecting someone to get it under contract before us or the sellers not accepting our offer. It had already been reduced significantly so we knew our chances of a lowball offer were slim. We offered the most that we could get a loan for. They accepted! I still get anxious thinking back to that month, October 2014. Many years and two children later, here we are, just as excited everyday to make the long trek up our mountain as we were that August of 2014, and now we are happy to offer a similar experience to you, without having to buy the place. Never stop dreaming! Hope to see you soon, cheers!

Loved this little shed and the view was very nice to look at while making dinner or sitting around the fire. Top of the hill had a flat shady area that was a fun hangout spot for hammocks and games. Me and my friends already plan on coming back!! > > - Courtney C., October 22, 2026 > My girlfriend and I loved our stay here!

We only had one tent but there was plenty of room for more. Lots of grassy area for activities. The little shed had way more supplies than we thought it would. It had almost everything we needed to cook, including a grate for the fire pit. We opted for 1 night of firewood which lasted us 2 nights and a morning. We also got the kombucha and it was delicious!!! > > - Jessica M., September 27, 2026
