I traveled to the mountains where the eagles made their nests. There I saw the hand of God: I saw creation at its best.......To lighten your heart, ease your mind, relax your body, renew your spirit and heighten your sense of awareness to the peace and contentment found in the wonderful gifts of nature, there is no better place than the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains, and, as our many visitors know, COUNTRY HAVEN is where to experience it all. This magical retreat is an authentic log cabin filled with beautiful antiques and many articles handcrafted with care by the owner adding a touch of warmth and charm to every room. For your comfort and pleasure, no detail has been overlooked. The cabin is well appointed to assure a comfortable stay. If you love peace and quiet, you will not be disappointed. This alluring cabin and our smaller cabin 'Tranquility Knoll' are situated on 1 1/2 acres of privately owned land, nestled among rolling hills with majestic mountains in the background. As you relax on the wrap-around covered porch or breakfast on the deck, you will enjoy the scenic view along with the country sounds of chickens, cows, and horses on the neighboring land. You will be pleasantly surprised when wild turkeys wander by. Sitting quietly, you can even hear them munching on the grasses' .Evenings sit around the firepit and roast your marshmallows.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The beds were extremely comfortable and everything was just as described. We enjoyed watching the horses everyday. Would highly recommend to anyone
Beautiful cabin inside and out. Very well stocked. We especially enjoyed spending time on the side porch soaking in the long view with ever changing weather. Truly a special property.
The cabin is in such a peaceful location. We spent so much time on the porch looking at the surrounding scenery. Asheville is just a short drive away. The inside of the cabin is filled with such beautiful furniture that make it fill so homey.
Great cabin for a family getaway. Close to all amenities, and is well maintained. The wifi range is a little spotty, but it goes well with the retro theme of the cabin :)
Stunning property, gorgeous cabin. Much attention to detail and made us feel at home. Perfect location to downtown Asheville....only 10-15 minutes. Would 100% stay here again!
We enjoyed our short stay and this cozy cabin. We especially enjoyed the yard and fire pit areas. My son loved throwing the football and frisbee in the yard. Convenient location. Host is friendly and responds quickly to messages. Would stay again
My family and I had a wonderful stay. Really enjoyed everything about this cabin. It was so well stocked and all of the amenities were first class. We spent Thanksgiving week with our adult daughters and we all had a wonderful stay! We highly recommend this property for anytime of the year vacation.
Our hope was for a relaxing getaway with friends and this cabin was just the right size and location. The views were stunning! It was so quiet and peaceful and convenient to Asheville.
This cabin was everything described and more. You literally need to bring clothes and drink coffee watching the sunrise. We will definitely be back to this beautiful, comfortable, immaculate property.
This cabin is absolutely wonderful. It was so clean and comfortable we all felt like we were at home. The kitchen is well stocked as are the bathrooms. The view from the deck is stunning. My family and I would definitely stay again.
We had a great stay here in late October. Cabin was easy to find, beautiful, well stocked. Lots of wildlife nearby - saw lots of cows and turkeys. Gorgeous views from all sides. Nice fire pit in the back yard. Open, easy communication with the owner.
We enjoyed the proximity for fishing. The cabin is centrally located to Cherokee, the Davidson River, Mills River and other great streams in western North Carolina. The furniture and beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked.
The cabin was beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. 10-15 mins to downtown Asheville, but far enough away to have some peace and quiet. It was perfect for a golf trip with some friends. Gerlinde the owner was very nice and made the whole process super easy. Highly recommend!
We had a great time staying in this cozy cabin! We especially enjoyed the views from the wraparound porch. It was such a peaceful setting to come home to after a day exploring Asheville. The location couldn't have been better and made it easy to get around. The cabin was nicely furnished with everything you could need. Thank you for sharing your peaceful haven with us!
Our stay was perfect! We had the best time! The cabin was clean and just as described online. Check in was so easy and communication was great. The views from this cabin are spectacular! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, just bring your food. Linens and towels are supplied. I highly recommend this cabin if you are headed to the Asheville area
This cabin was picture perfect! The views were amazing and everything inside the cabin was impeccable. We were able to relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air. I will be back and recommend renting from Gerlinda. She has spent a lot of time and energy creating this wonderful home. Thank you for allowing my family to enjoy your home!
