This cozy cabin is located in the Western NC mountains surrounded by Pisgah National Forest, just off the Appalachian trail near Lemon Gap and Max Patch. This makes it a great place to offer trail support if you happen to have a friend or family member who is hiking the trail. The cabin is also within a day excursion to the Smoky Mountain National Park.
There is easy access to the French Broad River which offers a wide variety of river rafting, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. The NC Arboretum, the Folk Life Center, the Blue Ridge Parkway are attractions that many of our guests enjoy. Cherokee and Maggie Valley are also within reasonable driving distance and offer great day excursions.
Max Patch is a short drive from our cabin and offers a spectacular 360 degree view from the top. It is an easy to moderate hike from the parking lot to the top. Many of our guests visit there to watch the sun go down, or to take a day hike. The Appalachian Trail goes right across the ridge. If you are lucky enough to visit us around the time of the full moon, you can get a spectacular show from the top of Max Patch. If you go up on the day just before the moon is full, the sun will set just as the moon is rising. Standing on the top of the mountain during this time is a unique, spectacular experience.
Wild flower enthusiasts will love exploring the woods surrounding the cabins. There are many beautiful and rare species of flowers blooming from early spring to late autumn. We have been fortunate enough to spot showy orchids, trillium, wild geranium, tiger lily, jack in the pulpit, lady slipper, lily of the valley just to name a few. Early spring also brings dogwood blossoms and wild azaleas in abundance. The rhododendron are particularly spectacular in the summer months as they flourish along our creeks and cover the hillsides with pinks and whites. It seems that almost every day from April to late October, something new is blooming in these beautiful mountains.
Bird lovers will be thrilled to find that we are a major migration route for many songbirds and butterflies. We have a huge population of hummingbirds. A very thrilling site is the indigo buntings who visit our area in the spring. They flash an incredible incandescent blue when they fly by. We have birds such as the nuthatch, towhee, cardinal, oriole, wrens, hawks and many others. We also have many goldfinches and purple finches.
So, on your next vacation or romantic getaway, come to the mountains of Madison County, NC and discover what makes the Appalachian Mountains such a great place to relax and rejuvenate your spirit. Allow yourself time to soak in the Jacuzzi on the front porch, or rock in the rockers. Take a walk or wet a fishing line. Discover the peace of a mountain retreat. It's good for the soul.
The peaceful surroundings made for a perfect three day reset. The waterfall trail is stunning.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The creek running alongside the property was super relaxing, and it was so quiet. We journeyed to the nearby brewery and enjoyed the town of Hot Springs, in addition to going on some beautiful hikes and very scenic drives.
Absolutely LOVED it!!! Very quiet and relaxing.
this is a great place to getaway and relax. this was our first time in North Carolina. the owners Tom and Rebecca are one of the best owners i have had the experience with on vrbo. they are friendly and are concerned with you having the best getaway. their communication through this vacation was top notch. the Moondance cabin is simple, but has all you need to stay in the mountains. the cabin is near the creek and was pleasant to hear it at night. The sounds of the water and nature were relaxing. It was what we were looking for on this vacation. All three of their cabins are in the same location. DUE to the location , you are in the mountains and are driving mountain roads , very different then city roads and the time it takes to go 8 miles. The suggestion from Tom was to buy your groceries before your arrival and im glad we did, the town and stores are a drive. this is a great place to get away from city life or the public in general. we enjoyed hiking some of their property including the waterfall trail. you are about 30 mins from Hot Springs . BOTTOM LINE IF YOU WANT THE MOUNTAIN EXPIERENCE AND TO GETAWAY FROM EVERYDAY LIFE , ANY OF THEIR CABINS ARE THE PERFECT CHOICE.
Tucked back just 20 minutes from Hot Springs is this beautiful little property. My husband and I loved the stay! If you want private access to a little creek, this is the place to go! Tom and Rebecca also had extensive hiking info for the area, which was much appreciated!
This property is all it was advertised as, if not more! Far out in the rural area, very large property that was well marked and maintained. Quick access to the AT, although somewhat of a moderate climb. Outside of cabin was clean and beautiful. The creek that runs past the front porch creates a relaxing atmosphere. Inside the cabin was clean, comfortable and cozy. We did not have to have any extra contact with the owners, they did a great job on explaining everything in their welcome book. Great place for nature lovers or couples who want alone time.
Beautiful property in a great spot to access the AT. Check in was easy. Hosts provided good information on area attractions. We were able to do several local day hikes - Walnut Mountain Shelter to Lemon Gap, Lovers Leap & Pump Gap Trail in Hot Springs, a drive up to Rich Mountain fire tower and the star: Sunrise at Max Patch. Super grateful for the comfortable cabin to come back to and the hot tub after a long day of hiking. The colors on the trees were amazing for our late Oct trip. This was the perfect stay for our trip!
Tom and Rebecca provided a clean and peaceful environment to get away. We had a relaxing weekend that provided many adventures and beautiful scenery. We will definitely be back.
Hot spring fed water hot tub, spring water fed sink and shower. Amazing views , hikes , waterfalls, gardens, etc etc Tom and Rebecca have done the most incredible job with the grounds and spiritually infused areas throughout. We will be back !!!!
We had everything we needed, perfect getaway to unplug from the rest of the world.
Would definitely come back.
