HootOwl Cabin Mountains, Trails and Huge Hot Tub under the Stars!

This was such a cute cabin and exactly what we were looking for. The host was wonderful and provided us with so many recommendations and kept in constant communication. I would highly recommend this cabin to any and everyone.

Any more jets would have put us UNDER the table...lol!

Cabin was a little darker and smaller inside than photos portrayed. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything needed. Hostesses was very responsive.

My friends and dog absolutely adored this place! The hot tub is huge and we had so much space! We cooked every meal in the cabin and the kitchen was so well stocked! We were super close to lots of great hikes and especially loved Trombatore trail. This cabin was the perfect spot for a relaxed New Year’s Eve. Will be coming back

The most unique mountain property we've ever stayed at with the most peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed exploring the area around us and visiting local wineries and downtown Hendersonville. The weather was perfect and loved the hot tub! Beds were comfy and we had all the amenities we needed. Five stars, for sure! We had a wonderful time at the Hoot Owl Cabin and cannot wait to return!

We were in the area for a small party at the Burntshirt Vineyards, so my husband and I were there with fun and relaxation in mind. I thought a cabin would suit the nature of our trip rather than a hotel. And since there were just the two of us, we wanted something small and affordable. When you say cabin one thinks of wood floors, rustic furnishings and woods. This cabin is that but also very kin to a treehouse built into the side of a mountain. Once we climbed into it, it felt very private and cozy. The furnishings are whimsical with lots of crazy art, owls and furniture. Depends on your personality as how you take the decor - my husband (who's an accountant just rolled his eyes). I, who love the unexpected, appreciated all of the surprises in every room. We are in our 60s so saying there are steps was a little bit of an understatement. You'd better be pretty fit or pack really light luggage. We quickly figured out how to minimize our trips to the car for our stuff. Our dogs who are small had to be carried up and down the steps, so I got my workout with them also. The main bed is comfy but I'm short and had to get creative jumping up onto the tall mattress. (My husband did find humor in that.) The owner was very responsive and accommodating. My husband assumed the Golf channel can be found everywhere and quickly because worked up about it - she kindly added the channel to the TVs so he could track the PGA while there. Thanks again, Michelle, for that.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hoot Owl cabin! Our host was great in communicating with us before the stay. There was ample space for my husband, dog and myself. The location is quiet, secluded, but not far from the town of Hendersonville (20 minutes or less). The cabin is literally built on the side of a mountain! It was charming. We loved the owl-themed decor as well.

I really liked this cabin, it would be perfect for a couples getaway! However it may be too rustic for young kids, we had our 3 year old and 8 month old with us and it was just a lot of keeping them contained, entertained, and out of trouble. And a lot of going up and down the stairs (both inside the cabin and out the front door) if you’re bringing the normal baby gear like a pack n play, etc. It is also a decent drive to get to nearby towns, definitely not a deal breaker, and it is in a pretty valley surrounded by other cabins, trailers, and cottages. Definitely need AWD to get up the driveway, otherwise there’s a parking spot at the bottom of the driveway. The hot tub was really nice out the back deck, we had great views of the stars out there! Good communication from the host, check in and out was easy.

The cabin is an eclectic & cozy stay for a week. Most of our time was spent away from the cabin, but it's in a good location & the best part was sitting in the hot tub under the stars. The view from the big window out front was beautiful while drinking a hot cup of coffee & the fireplace warmed up the whole place in minutes. There were a few maintenance issues: There are a couple of bricks loose before you get to the wooden stairs. The faucets in the kitchen & the upstairs bathroom were not fastened to the counters. The kitchen sink is a good concept, but oddly shaped & doesn't drain properly, so there is standing water. Get in the before turning on the upstairs shower, or it sprays out. The shower head was also broken & sprays up the wall. While in the hot tub, it shut off 4 times, 2 of them while not running jets or bubbles. The breaker was not overheating or tripped, so not sure what the cause of the outage. We made sure that it was still running for the next few days, but we did not use the tub again after that. The 2x4s under the upstairs mattress is not fastened, some shifted and fell out from underneath while we were on it. We notified Michelle about the faucets and the hot tub as an fyi. We appreciate the promptness of her trying to fix the issues, but we had plans to not be home during the day. These items were expressed that they were not an emergency and would prefer for the handymen to not interrupt our stay. The push made us feel inconvenienced & uncomfortable.

Stay was grate and would stay here again!

Overall, this place was as described. The photos seem to have been taken some time ago and it was a bit more “rustic” than the photos showed. We enjoyed the hot tub immensely and the privacy. The beds were cozy and it was centrally located to many sightseeing locations. Something to be aware of there is not a dishwasher and the sink, while GORGEOUS, was not very practical for washing dishes. We enjoyed the time away.
