    Beautiful cabin in the most beautiful location! Quiet, peaceful, and proximity to Black Mountain.

    The cabin itself is one of the nicer properties we’ve stayed in. Clean, tons of space, and beautiful surroundings. My kids absolutely loved the creek and played there for hours. We had a great time in the evening around the fire pit. The only (slightly) negative thing I have on this listing is that I thought it would be truly private. Across the bridge there is a building where we had a few ppl in and out of. Not a big deal, but we were hoping we’d be by ourselves in the middle of nowhere. All in all, we’ll be back and probably bring some additional family with us.

    Very nice and beautiful home. You seem isolated when there but you are only 15 minutes from town. Would definitely stay here again.

    We had a wonderful stay at Kibbin. The cottage is absolutely beautiful! It was in immaculate shape and beautifully decorated. My son told me he felt famous staying there :) It is in close proximity to multiple mountain towns, but there is not much to do immediately around the cabin. Be prepared to disconnect (we had no cell phone service and a weaker internet signal), but that was part of the fun. Would 100% stay here again and recommend. Perfect family fall getaway, we were sad to leave.

    Located in the peaceful hills of Old Fort, NC (about 30 mins from Asheville), the Kibbin is a perfect location for an inspiring novelist needing a quiet retreat or an adventurous family needing a home base after a long day of enjoying the great outdoors. The local property managers were very communicative and easy to work, making this beautiful cabin an easy choice for anyone looking for a hidden gem!

    The booking process was super easy and being that it was last minute due to another companies cancellation that was extremely helpful. The cabin is in a decent location and had almost everything that was needed. There were a few minor issues but nothing that would keep us from recommending this place.

    We drove from Florida so our kids could have some winter fun. This house manages to be spacious and cozy at the same time with a stone cottage exterior and a warm cabin interior. Very peaceful relaxing setting on a flowing creek and convenient location with Asheville and Black Mountain in one direction, with Sugar Mountain and Beach Mountain ski resorts in the other direction.
