About this property

Welcome to Winghaven & Asheville. Secluded yet close to shops and food

The Cottage at Winghaven is a light filled log cabin located less than 20 minutes to Asheville. The Cottage is privately located on 38 acres of forest but with easy access to shopping and restaurants.
Relax in front of the wood burning stove, soak up the sun on the south facing deck or have a drink and watch the wild turkeys from the covered porch. The Cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway or for families!
The main floor is accessible from the driveway without navigating stairs.

Main floor: The bedroom with a forest view has a queen bed and attached bathroom with step in shower. The living room has a Danish wood burning stove, and sliding glass doors to the south facing porch where you can soak up the sun and enjoy the view in classic Adirondack chairs. The covered front porch is also accessible from the living room and is inviting for a coffee on a rainy summer afternoon. The contemporary kitchen is well equipped to create memorable dinners.
Loft: The sleeping loft is fun and comfortable for kids and adults alike. It is connected to the main floor and lower level with a spiral staircase. There are four twin beds with memory foam mattresses and a view out the south wall of windows.
Lower Level: The lower level of the Cottage features a large bedroom suite with a queen bed, sitting area and sliding glass doors to the outside. There is a private bathroom with soaking tub, separate shower and two sinks. The lower level is connected with a spiral staircase but also has its own entrance from outside.
The Cottage is a convenient home base for the multitude of activities our area has to offer: Visit the Biltmore Estate ( 11miles), Downtown Asheville (12 miles), Historic Hendersonville (14 miles), go tubing or kayaking on the French Broad River, zip lining, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, hike a different trail every day or see five magnificent waterfalls in just one day. There are wine tastings, beer tours, music and dance performances to attend and fabulous restaurants to try. Biking is a favorite sport here be it on the road or on mountain trails. We are more than happy to help you with planning your vacation so please talk to us and let us know what you are interested in.
Of course the Cottage is also an awesome place to just relax, enjoy the sun shining through the leaves, the peace of the forest and the starlit nights.
Please note that the Cottage is accessed by a private gravel road but 4-wheel drive is usually not necessary. We are happy to talk you about the road if you have concerns about driving in the mountain!

We live about 10 minutes from the cottage. We are usually available to stop by if you need us to, and we are always available by phone. You'll receive an electronic lock code so check in and check out is easy. You'll enjoy complete privacy at the Cottage, but we are available if anything needs our attention.

Birthday getaway - absolutely fantastic!
My boyfriend, Karl Hoffmann and his mom Paula joined me at your lovely home to celebrate his 53rd birthday. Truly beyond our expectations – gorgeous setting and the home was delightful! Going to share the information with my brothers and mom, and we most likely will be booking another trip to one of your beautiful homes. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share this gorgeous cabin - Absolutely fantastic!

Beautiful mountain getaway
The Cottage was all we expected and more. We felt remote, but Asheville was a relatively short ride away. We relaxed and had good R&R for the working folks and a great change of scenery and schedule for the retirees.

Perfect!
This place is exactly what we needed! It’s secluded enough so it’s completely private, and we loved hanging out on the deck soaking in the sun and nature, but it’s also close enough to Asheville so we could enjoy the town and good restaurants. The cabin is super clean and comfortable. Our kids especially loved the loft and the soaking tub.

Great escape!
This was a perfect weekend getaway. The house was very clean and comfortable with all needed amenities. Beautiful wooded and private mountain view. A comfortable bed, both drip and keurig coffee makers, well stocked kitchen utensils, and great bathtub. I did bring a chromecast to plug into the TV for more watching options which can be considered if you will be spending much time in the house. Tricky driveway at times but very possible still without AWD. ~20 min to Asheville city life. Would definitely go back!

Christmas at the Biltmore!
We wanted a unique place to stay when our family planned our trip to the Biltmore and the Winghaven Cottage fit the bill perfectly! My daughters loved the sleeping loft, spiral stairs and log exterior - all reasons I chose this home! Saskia was very prompt in replying to my inquiries. The cabin was extremely clean and very well stocked. We love the homemade goat milk soap and luxury hair products. My kids loved the chicken scrap bucket that went to Jof and Saskia's farm. 😊 And thank you for collecting recyclables as not many rental properties do. Overall wonderful experience!

About the host

Hosted by Jofre & Saskia Cacanindin

Host profile image
After living or owning properties in Germany, the Philippines, Hawaii, Manhattan, Croton-on-Hudson, and Raleigh, we chose the Asheville area to raise our three children. We love the cultural and natural richness of this place. The mountains, forests, ecological diversity, waterfalls and the local food movement, farms and markets, outstanding restaurants, cultural events and interesting, friendly people make this a great place to live and visit.
We live just about ten minutes away from Winghaven, on a small farm with dairy goats, rare breed chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. . Of course we would also be delighted to have you come in person and visit with the animals during your stay at Winghaven! Naturally, we will always have fresh eggs from our happy hens as well as handmade goat's milk soap for you at the Cottage at Winghaven.

Why they chose this property

After three years of successfully welcoming guests to the Chalet at Winghaven (VRBO #659460) we decided to build the Cottage at Winghaven in walking distance, but still with complete privacy. Like the Chalet the Cottage is located at Winghaven, a 38 acre property of beautiful forest close to Asheville and Hendersonville, NC. The Cottage is perfect for families or groups of friends. We are very excited that we were able to provide a way to access the main floor without steps to navigate so everybody can enjoy this mountain cabin.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage at Winghaven was designed from the ground up to provide a relaxing, peaceful, private retreat for our guests to reconnect with family, friends or a significant other. It is also a perfect place to celebrate birthdays, graduations or stay for a beautiful mountain wedding. Of course we chose to build a log home because how can you not want to stay in a real log cabin in the woods? The wood burning stove and the large deck and covered porch invite you to slow down and relax inside or out depending on the season.
Children and adults enjoy the sleeping loft. Alternatively the master bedroom is inviting and the lower level suite is very spacious with a sitting area and large bathroom. The three floors are tied together by a spiral staircase that leaves plenty of space to spread out and enjoy this cozy cabin.
