A black A-frame · Black Mountain, NC
One big window. A hot tub on the deck. The Blue Ridge all the way down.
A black A-frame on a wooded ridge above Black Mountain, twenty minutes east of Asheville. Two bedrooms and a loft, a wood stove, a fire pit, and a glass wall that faces the valley. We built it ourselves and we live down the hill, so the wood is stacked and the hot tub is hot when you pull in.

The cabin
Built for the view
two bedrooms, a loft, one glass wall, all of it yours
A king downstairs with its own door to the deck, a queen in the loft under the peak, and a bunk nook the kids claim before the bags are in.
blackout blinds in all three
The whole front of the A is window, floor to peak. Sunrise comes over the far ridge and lands on the couch. Fall is the show.
the loft gets the best of it
A small cast-iron stove in the corner that heats the whole cabin in twenty minutes. Firewood is stacked on the porch, kindling in the bin.
matches on the shelf above it
Wraps the front and the valley side. The hot tub on the corner, a fire pit below it, a long table, and the ridgeline for a wall.
the stars are the point

The mountains
Black Mountain first, then the Parkway
Town is eight minutes down the hill: a bakery, a brewery, a hardware store that still cuts keys. The Blue Ridge Parkway is fifteen, Asheville twenty, Mount Mitchell forty-five. You can do all of it in a weekend, or none of it and stay in the tub. Both are correct.
- ✓Black Mountain: the bakery, the brewery, the lake trail: 8 minutes
- ✓Blue Ridge Parkway entrance and the first overlook: 15 minutes
- ✓Asheville, downtown and the River Arts District: 20 minutes
- ✓Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi: 45 minutes
ask us where the leaves turn first. we have opinions.

Guests say
4.9 from 112 stays
“The wood was stacked, the tub was hot, and the whole valley turned orange outside that window. We booked next October before we left.”
“Parkway in the morning, Asheville for dinner, fire pit at night. The owners texted the gate code and a trail map. Exactly what a cabin weekend should be.”
“Brought the dog, brought the kids, nobody wanted to leave. The bunk nook was a hit. Quiet ridge, big sky, a real wood stove.”
House rules
A few things, then it's yours
We keep it short. The cabin is on a shared gravel road with three other families, and sound carries up here more than you'd think.
- ✓Check-in from 4 pm by keypad; the code comes by text that morning. Check-out by 11
- ✓Six guests, two dogs. No parties, no extra guests after 10
- ✓Quiet on the deck after 10 pm. The hot tub stays open, the speaker doesn't
- ✓Fires in the stove and the pit only, and never in a wind. Douse the pit before bed
- ✓Two cars in the drive. The road is gravel for the last half mile; take it slow
lock the door, leave the porch light, we'll do the rest.
Check-out at 11. Early or late is usually fine on a quiet week, just text us the day before.
