Nice place
This is a very nice quiet place. Wildlife galore!! Driveway is a little rough especially at the entrance but no problem. We did lose internet for a day but owner sent someone over to fix it -- that's all you can ask for.

If you wish to get away from it all, this property is for you. I liked the close proximity to Big Bald Mountain that you can easily get to by the parking lot up the road which after a short hike you can access the AT. The property is very safe because there is a gate keeper upon entering Wolf Laurel. Many homes appear to be vacation homes for the rich and famous. There are some incredibly beautiful homes in Wolf Laurel. The inconvenience's? Bring your food supplies! The nearest grocery store that I found was in Mars Hill about a 30 minute drive. I couldn't find a bar close by to watch The Master's so I relied on the TV at the rental but this didn't work out too well because I couldn't figure out how to find CBS. I'm sure it was available so leave that to my daftness. The propane tank was missing from the outdoor grill, maybe some neighbor borrowed it? All and all I would easily return to this home. The owner communicated well and everything worked as described. Also, the kitchen was well stocked with most spices and all the utility ware for any discernable cook. Cheers

This was our ‘overflow’ cabin for a family gathering at my nearby home. My adult kids were quite happy with the cabin. I’d recommend this spot highly…

Great location, great place/amenities, great owner.
The house has a great layout and link to its site. The location is great and the link to the AT is close (about 1.5 miles up Big Bald). I had an early autumn stay so the mountain colors were just starting, but still fantastic. All around....wonderful!

Exploring Wolf Laurel
Beautiful property and excellent location. We enjoyed the simplicity of feeling away from it all yet convenient to hiking Big Bald and meeting people at the Country Club. The only reason I didn't give it an all around 5 star was the fact that the listing stated the property has air conditioning, which it does not. We found however that air conditioning was not needed. I would definitely recommend the property and we will be back.

Location
Perfect for no houses seen near you, our dog loved the outside area. My daughter and infant son 3 months old was able to join me at late notice. Booking changes were so easy and efficient when I notified of changes. We were informed WiFi is often interrupted, and it was, so working from "home" was not consistent. Since my stay was for 14 days, I would recommend 2 outside trash cans as the one there was filled up after one week. I would return to same cabin. I loved the area, the fall tree colors, and most of all the privacy. Saw many deer, wild Turkeys.

Quiet Getaway
The property was clean and comfortable. We had a short stay and the only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is the location was a little farther than we thought. Other than that, the porch was so cozy with the string lights and we loved the gas fireplace!The driveway definitely needs 4 wheel drive!!! You’ll love this place

Everything you need
We stayed for Labor Day weekend. The cabin and setting were beautiful. The kitchen has everything you need. The cabin was very clean and spacious. I found the bed to be super comfy too! The drive to nearby towns and Asheville is easy. Our only snag was arriving late at night. It was very dark. The person at visitor entry warned of bears - which we never saw - so the night entry was a bit scary. The porch light on would be a suggestion. The driveway needs a running start in non-snow season to get up without a 4-wheel drive.

Awesome mountain getaway
This is our second time staying at this cabin. The first time it was just my husband and myself and the second time we brought our two kids (ages 4 years and 7 months). It is the perfect size for a small family. Very clean cabin and relaxing with no close neighbors. The community Wolf Laurel is awesome bc it has access to the Appalachian Trail with a nice hike up to Big Bald. We love this cabin and will be back again. Only notes would be 4 wheel drive is definitely a plus to access the cabin (100% needed in winter), and there is heat in the cabin but no AC.

Beautiful Cabin!
We loved our stay in this beautiful cabin! Very well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen along with towels in the bathroom and full bedding on the beds. Very cozy and quiet. The cabin is also very clean. We felt right at home. Also had board games that we enjoyed playing at night. Only thing I didn't realize is how far away it is from the towns. I should have done more research but just know that it takes a little while to get into Asheville and surrounding areas.
