ABNER'S CABIN - DOG FRIENDLY (no extra pet charges) Close to Downtown Asheville

Husband, small sheltie and I spent 3 nights in Abner's Cabin. Very rustic and we loved that ! A family of 3 deer joined us 1 afternoon. Stoney Knob Café was great for an anniversary dinner! The owners answered my questions quickly!

This cozy log cabin is in a secluded area off a dirt road. It could use some updating, and there's an awkward step down into the only bathroom, but otherwise it has all the comforts of home. The greatest asset to this property are the spectacular views from the deck. Actually there are two decks: on the front and back sides. The back deck has amazing sunset views. But it was also nice to sit on front deck in the mornings even if it was foggy or misty and just enjoy the quiet and trees. Very quiet and secluded. Would definitely recommend.

we enjoyed our stay the cabin. FOr us it was the perfect location. Not too far, but just far enough to be away crowds and traffic. The views were great. We even had deer walk right up to the house. The cabin was also fully stocked.

The cabin was clean and comfortable. The place has all the comforts of home. The property is on a mountain with deers visiting us during our stay. The quiet environment is a perfect restful sleep.

Cozy cabin as pictured with back deck overlooking peaceful pastures and rocking chair front porch. Very peaceful. WiFi was not working; owner’s response was that there had been no other complaints.

We thought the cabin was a great location, serene countryside, but accessible to downtown Asheville and hiking. The back porch view was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting out front in the rockers with our morning coffee. The only negatives were; the yard could have used some TLC as it was a little overgrown, both beds were soft and totally uncomfortable, the bathroom was small for four people and there were no extra towels, and the wi-fi was totally unreliable. That said, it was a great spot for a few days and we loved Asheville!

This cabin is the perfect rustic getaway. The owner is VERY responsive to any questions/concerns!!! I don’t understand the reviews regarding the TV and internet...., you’re in the mountains HELLO?!! Prefect place to escape! The only negative is Uber doesn’t come out there, or they didn’t when we where there, but that may be a COVID thing.... great place to stay!

I found the property with no problem. Really enjoyed the privacy and the fact that the property is pet friendly. The kitchen was well stocked if you wish to cook. The front porch is a nice place to spend the evenings.

This charming and unpretentious property has stunning views of the Blue Ridge mountains, and convenience to popular venues. However, this rental was over priced due to the condition and style of the home (older / traditional mountain home) with foundation issues. Fireplace and grill did not work (or was disconnected) and would require the property owners husband to visit to reconnect. This was a girls vacation and we didn't want any men on the property. The bathroom was infested with spider-crickets (camel crickets), and both porches had carpenter bees and wasps that made sitting outside for long difficult. Other issues to consider: the internet was very weak, the DirecTV was OLD and picture quality poor, kitchen could be cleaner [old food in fridge, dried crumbs under counters and old dish sponges (no dishwasher)], and washer/drier can not be used without turning off the water heater via a junction box (water & electricity do not mix). Considering the challenges we had a great time in Asheville but I wouldn't stay at this property again. The owner said had she known about our discontent with the property we could have received our money back but we'd been on the road for 8 hours and unloaded before we realized the issues. Finding another place would have been a huge inconvenience. This property would be a great place for someone looking for a Glamping feel once the property has been addressed for safety and cleanliness.

Living in a log cabin was a rewarding experience. I only see this on cowboy movies and historical documentaries. Leslie, the owner of the property, provided us all the accommodations to make our stay very memorable. The location of the cabin is on the mountains that you will enjoy the fresh air and wonderful view of the wildlife. Me and my wife enjoyed our privacy and had the pleasure of just walking around the cabin taking selfies. I highly recommend the property for couples. It’s the best opportunity to be detached from the outside world and just focus on your spouse. Thanks Leslie!
