3 Bedrooms, 2½ baths, mountain cabin dog-friendly

At 2989 feet above sea level, “Hikers Hideaway” is located above the Township of Bat Cave, only a few miles from Chimney Rock Village & Lake Lure and just under 20 miles from Biltmore Estate & Asheville. “Hikers Hideaway” is a real mountain cabin and real mountain roads bring you to it so AWD/4WD is required to access the cabin. Please check on multiple maps for updated road condition. Check out longer stay for potential discount.

Nestled high in the woods of Grant Mountain among the mountain laurel on a 4-acre lot, the only sense of civilization evident in the majestic view is two cabins further down the mountain. “Hikers Hideaway” is a 3-story, 3-bedroom, 2½-bath Custom Heritage Log Home featuring heart pine floors, a cozy stone fireplace with remote-controlled gas logs and vaulted ceilings.
The third story is host to a unique loft-style master bedroom suite with walk-in closet and crow's nest which overlooks the den and picturesque views through triangular apex windows. Main floor has a fully functional spacious kitchen and dining area with second-story accesses to the full-length porch where one can enjoy peaceful, lush mountain views of the Hickory Nut Gorge opposing Mountain Range and south-east to the end of the Gorge and beyond. Downstairs are two bedrooms and a full bathroom plus access to the lower full-length porch with similar views to the main level porch.

Accessibility:
The moment you turn off the highway and your tires hit the dirt you can't help but feel the steep incline of the road and there is no doubt you are driving up a mountain to your vacation getaway.

The drive up the mountain is 0.8 mile of unpaved dirt road.
