About this property

Black Mountain Log Cabin | Secluded, Pet-friendly 3BD with Hot Tub & Views!

Relax and unwind at this beautiful, secluded getaway. Black Mountain Log Cabin offers stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from inside the home, out on the wrap-around deck, and while in the 6-seater hot tub. Located in Creston, a private gated community with an emphasis on natural preservation, enjoy the beauty of the area and clear skies at night. Enjoy your cruise through the community, on the paved roads, and bask in the beauty of the area before arriving at the delightful log cabin.

Walk down from the parking pad along steady and tree-lined gravel steps to the charming log bridge connecting to the house. The wraparound porch has great rocking chairs staged at various views around the home. Take in the best vista on the back corner of the home where the trees frame the Blue Ridge Mountains as you sip your morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Down below is a cozy deck with a hot tub and fire table, lit by tiki torches and fairy lights.

At night, observe the constellations from the hot tub, or a blanket in the yard, thanks to the dark sky community restrictions in place. Featuring cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, and an intimate living space, this cabin invites you into a casual setting filled with luxury touches. The galley kitchen has the essentials you need to create a delicious dining experience - a gas range, drip coffee maker, and basic cookware. Curl up in either living space with a bowl of popcorn and watch the game or stream a movie on the Smart TVs, with a cable package that includes the NFL channel and the SEC Network (please note the basement TV is streaming only).

Located within the upscale and gated community of Creston just south of Black Mountain, Black Mountain Log Cabin is surrounded by 330+ acres of protected land within the community which connects to thousands of acres of Pisgah National Forest and Foothills Land Conservancy property. Sit on the deck and listen to the sounds of the waterfalls down below, or hike down to the falls using the trail system within the community. There are also beautiful gathering spaces throughout the community to enjoy the stunning scenery and tranquil setting. Spend a weekend evening at the Straightaway Cafe, a classic pub-style eatery on the lone straightaway of the notoriously curvy NC-9. With a rotating menu, Straightaway keeps things fresh and local in both the food, beer, and entertainment.

In the morning, have brunch at either Blue Ridge Biscuit Company in Black Mountain, 25 minutes away, or Biscuit Head in Asheville, 40 minutes from the home. Both establishments specialize in giant cat head biscuits piled high with delightful toppings. While in town, take an afternoon to browse the numerous galleries lining downtown Asheville and the River Arts District and perhaps discover your new favorite artist. Schedule a dinner at the eclectic and delectable Vivian to sample the seasonal European-inspired eatery, and follow up with wine by the glass or bottle at Bottle Riot.

We LOVED it
The house was great! Clean and well organized, and the directions to get there were excellent. We didn't have any issues with cell coverage. Yes, the basement bathroom had low water pressure but it wasn't an issue.

Long Weekend
Fantastic location, views and privacy. Inside is spacious and well furnished. Only area that could genuinely use some attention is the noticeably low water pressure and temperature in the sinks and showers. Otherwise, great spot!

Cute cabin
Cute cabin, secluded with great views. Hot tub is great and I’m sure fire pit would have been nice though there were no propane tanks left for us (all empty). Dishes could have been cleaner. Mattresses are terrible - this is my biggest complaint. There is barely any water pressure anywhere besides downstairs shower and no hot water anywhere else either - this took a cold shower upstairs to figure out. Not sure if this can be helped or not but knowing ahead of time would have been appreciated. Overall, besides the terrible sleep on those mattresses, it was a cute place to stay though because of that experience I’m not sure it’s worth the money.
