Immerse yourself in a mountain paradise at Cool Stream Lodge! Featuring two separate homes, an in-ground pool with a barbecue pavilion, and a private pond, this estate tops the list of high-end vacation rentals in Western North Carolina. Able to accommodate large groups of people, Cool Stream Lodge offers the ideal location for get-togethers and family reunions.
Situated on a picture-perfect, six-acre property at the head of a valley, just below where the rocky creek rushes down the mountain, Cool Stream Lodge offers a compelling contrast of history and modern luxury. The impressive main home is anchored by a hand-hewn log cabin that has occupied the land since the early 1800's. With extensive renovations, the living space grew outward from the original cabin, creating a collaboration of rooms both cozy, with reclaimed wormy chestnut paneling, native stone, and chinked logs, and at the same time expansive, with vaulted ceilings, spacious gathering areas, and delightfully private sleeping quarters. The chef in your group will love the gourmet kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinetry, a gas range, and an adjoining living area, and everyone will love the perfect space for celebrating!
A separate modern log cabin also shares the estate, offering excellent accommodations for friends and family. With its own hot tub and private back deck, the cabin provides room to spread out and includes a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room, and two spacious bedrooms. The best part? Incredible mountain views from the covered front porch, where you'll want to pull up a rocking chair and pass the day with good conversation.
When you stay at Cool Stream Lodge, new opportunities for adventure abound (but you might never want to leave the pool area!). Wake up to morning mist on the pond and wildlife sightings around the water's edge. Take a long walk down a country road, get together with the group for games in the field, and cool off with an afternoon swim. Discover natural beauty in every season: the vibrant foliage in the fall, the mountain charm of a winter wonderland, and during spring and summer, limitless activities from afternoon picnics to evening gatherings around the outdoor wood fireplace. Cool Stream Lodge offers you the rare opportunity to experience a slice of heaven in the Western North Carolina mountains! This Asheville vacation rental is located in East Asheville and is approximately 18 minutes to downtown Asheville.

We loved our stay at Cool Stream! Great place to host with my group of friends. Only regret is the pool wasn’t open (apparently it’s only open from Memorial Day - Labor Day).
Cool Stream Lodge is a beautiful property!! Well suited for large families (there were 13 of us!). The pictures don’t do it justice! Even more impressive in person!! The pool screams resort!! Everyone loved it!! Convenient to town and provides total privacy!
I love the fact that most of the rooms have their own bathrooms! Even though the reception wasn’t the greatest it was nice bonding with the family! Would definitely recommend! Not to mention we enjoyed the jacuzzi.
This house did not disappoint! There were a total of 11 of us and our small dog and this house had everything we needed and more! The kitchen was generously stocked with everything you would need to serve a meal to a large family. The house was even more beautiful than depicted in pictures and we would 10/10 recommend! It was quiet and private and we completely enjoyed our time there!
I took youth on an end of year field trip. The cabin was awesome! I would love to come back with family/friends at some point so I can truly enjoy the relaxing piece the property has to offer.
The property was wonderful- it had all the amenities needed for a large group of adults. The check in and check out processes were easy. Everything was as-advertised. We had a great stay and would love to come back!
We take an annual family vacation (three generations), usually to the beach but we decided to do something different this year. We are so glad we did. Cool Stream Lodge was perfect! Great house, great property, great location. We couldn’t be more pleased with our week away.
Easy to book, great communication prior to and during our stay, and a property true to the listing.
Perfection.
I stayed at this property with about 10 friends to celebrate a long weekend. The property is beautiful and looks just like it is advertised on the website. It was clean and everything was in working order. It is a bit of drive from downtown but we selected it for this so we had some privacy and to enjoy the nature. We all loved the stay and I would recommend this for any large group looking for an upscale rental experience.
This place is amazing. Unfortunately there was no propane in the back and therefore no grill and no pool or hot tub heat, which for a summer vacation…was a real bummer.

Wonderful house, but off the grid
The main house, guest house and pool are amazing. The houses are well appointed and easily accommodated our family of 14. However, be aware that Cool Stream Lodge is off the grid. The internet service is very poor (when there is any service at all). Don’t believe Carolina Mornings when they tell you the internet service has been upgraded. I was told, in writing, we would have hundreds of Mbps. The best we experienced over our five day stay was 20 Mbps. This was grossly insufficient to support our family members that needed connectivity to work. If you’re looking to disconnect, this place is great, but if you are reliant on internet service and you don’t want to spend your day in an Internet cafe in Asheville, you should look elsewhere.
Beautiful property… loved the huge fireplace… stream running past the side of the house,.
Everything was great. Only exception… when I had trouble lighting the grill, I called… and the person who answered replied “I’m not on call this weekend. Did you download the app?” NOT COOL. No I didn’t download “the app.” I called looking for someone who could tell me why the grill wasn’t working. That was the only hiccup.
The property was really nice and the house was nice. There are just a few things that could be better.
1) The beds in the smaller house we not Queen they were full beds. Too small for adult males to sleep in the same bed.
2) The loft was so tiny that we moved the mattresses to the floor of the game room because no one wanted to sleep up there. Might have been fine for a child.
3) There were some ants in the rooms. Not a lot just a few.
4) The grill needs to be cleaned
5) The piano was out of tune - we had a piano player/singer in the group
6) The door lock ran out of batteries and we were locked out of the house for an hour until the management company got back to us.
7) There trash which is stored in the garage was stinking up the house. If we knew when the trash day was we would have put the trash out.
Property was great and the entire reason for the trip was for us to enjoy the pool with 5 children and 4 adults, but the pool was in disarray. The jets in the pool weren’t working when I checked in. I reported it and was told to watch a YouTube video on how to work the pool remote. I then followed up and was told the jets don’t work. On the second day, the pool service came (during dinner) and shut the pool, no explanation. When they closed the pool cover, it smelled horribly (a sign it hasn’t been cleaned in a while). Turns out the pool was clogged with pet hair (from previous renters), which was on one of the beds linens as well. The purpose of the trip was to enjoy the pool, but poor maintenance prevented that for half the trip. It’s too bad because the property was great and location is immaculate.
This property was so perfect! We loved it so much that we are hoping to return when it’s warmer so we can enjoy the outdoor area. Everything was clean and comfortable. Highly, highly recommend!
We stayed for a 50th birthday with 5 other couples and it was spectacular. The property is amazing and couldn’t have been more accommodating for all of us.
