About this cabin rental
This 3BR/3BA authentic log cabin, affectionately named Doolittle Mountain Cabin, is a full mountain experience in a charming wooded retreat on 30 acres of land with several private hiking trails. Enjoy movie nights in the cozy living area, fire up the grill for an alfresco barbecue, go for a relaxing dip in the private hot tub, or toast marshmallows around the outdoor fire pit.
-- THE PROPERTY --
The welcoming living room showcases soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and views of the French Broad River. Hardwood flooring flows throughout the open-concept space, detailed with a 45 and 40 TV, gas fireplace, sofa, and a recliner.
Enjoy home cooking in the fully equipped kitchen with a countertop bar for three. Then gather the group at the wood dining table set for six.
The second-floor primary suite boasts a queen bed, private balcony, river views, and an en-suite bath with shower/tub combination. Just outside this bedroom is a second seating area with two queen futons (sleeps four children) and a 32' TV with a DVD and VHS player (no cable).
The second bedroom is located on the main level and features a queen bed with crisp linens and plush pillows. The second bathroom boasts a glass door shower and a jetted tub.
The lower-level third bedroom offers two twin beds, while the third bathroom is equipped with a shower/tub combination.
Fire up the outdoor grill and dine alfresco on the covered deck with a six-seat table.
After dinner, dip in the hot tub in the backyard gazebo, and come together at the firepit to toast marshmallows. Or pack your best hiking shoes and enjoy a scenic hike on the private hiking trails displaying a variety of flora and fauna.
Complimentary Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and parking for four vehicles are provided.
Step outside onto the large, quiet porch adorned with rocking papasan chairs, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or curling up with a good book. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit for an evening of storytelling and laughter under the stars. For those who enjoy a little friendly competition, cornhole and board games are provided for your entertainment.
-- THE LOCATION --
The property borders on the French Broad River (which provides fishing) with fabulous views of the river, both short-range and long-range views.

This is everything you'd dream of in a mountain cabin. Breath-taking views including the French Broad River below. Host was great as well. Only tip would be try to first arrive during daylight to see the road up to the cabin better. We got used to it quickly but it's definitely steep. Cabin was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

This was THE mountain cabin dream home we hoped it would be and more. Gorgeous views from every angle. You can see and hear the French Broad River from the master suite and multiple locations on the property. Our family had fun hiking around the property and there were multiple little marked trails. One recommendation to future renters is try to arrive the first time during daylight. It is a true mountain cabin and the road up is fairly narrow with tight turns and steep drops which was a little freaky in the dark. Luckily we brought a flashlight which helped the first time up. Once you get up there though it's totally worth it for the amazing views. The host was super helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Loved the cabin! Very cozy! Had everything you would ever need. Only missing was directions for TV… it’s a bit different than our systems here in Florida. Property gorgeous, views amazing! Hot tub was wonderful! Host checked in with us right after we accessed the cabin!
