Beautiful Mountain Views, Amazing Fire Pit, Private yet Close to Asheville!

Welcome to Little Hickory Top Cabin. Named after the mountain it overlooks, this beautiful new modern cabin is perched on a ridge facing Bent Creek Experimental Forest. Convenient location offers easy access to all that Asheville has to offer. Find rest and recharge with beautiful views from every room, and a great deck to grill from.

The space
***
After the devastation of Hurricane Helene of the region late last year Asheville is open for tourism; our small businesses and hospitality industry are in need of your visit! Most areas are back up and running as usual, however some businesses have been forced to close, and you will notice there is major cleanup and reconstruction happening in major flood corridors (like the River Arts District). Reach out to us if you have any questions and check ahead of time with your favorite spots to ensure there aren't any changes to consider!
***

This modern cabin is warm and welcoming with beautiful features throughout, including large timber framed ceilings and stairs. The home is three stories with a common area on the main floor and bedrooms on the upper and lower. It is EcoStar certified and was featured in the 2020 Asheville Parade of Homes!

Newly added fire pit provides a great space to gather and enjoy the mountain view, some s’mores, and maybe a tall tale or three after a day in the woods or out on the town! We provide roasting sticks, fatwood starter, and a kindling cracker.

Guest access
The whole home is yours to enjoy, except the owners/cleaning closet.

Other things to note
For those interested in working remote or needing connectivity the home has 400Mbps cable internet service and a Orbi Mesh router to ensure good WiFi throughout the house. Cell signal is also great, with LTE and 5G on both Verizon and T-Mobile.

If you are bringing little ones we have a pack n play (with sheets), baby gates, kids dinnerware, and a baby/toddler carrier hiking backpack! We have three young kids so if you need anything in advance let us know!

Winter is a beautiful time to visit Asheville. Less crowds, beautiful hikes with views, crisp air and Christmas at Biltmore to mention only a few things! We receive many questions about winter access to the cabin. We rarely get significant snow in Asheville, once or twice a year we may get snow that sticks to the road and causes travel issues... even then the roads are usually clear midday. That said the neighborhood road and driveway are very steep so additional care and precaution are needed in inclement weather. We live just a few minutes from the cabin, and if snow is forecasted we will put out salt and shovel as required. If snow or ice prevents access on the day of arrival we will allow cancellation or trip adjustment as needed.

A note on check-out and cleaning fees:
We have an awesome cleaning team - it's a local woman owned small business with local staff that are paid living wage or better. 100% of the cleaning fee (and then some) goes to them. An average of 4 hours is spent cleaning to house to prepare for our next guests. We hope you find the place to exceed expectations. With checkout we do ask that you help by stripping beds, starting a load of laundry, and the dishwasher. It should only take a few minutes and saves our team hours, keeping our fees lower!
