About this home

Tucked away on 1.4 acres of wooded, mostly untouched land, this charming log cabin offers the feeling of a private mountain retreat while remaining conveniently close to town. Surrounded by trees, a peaceful creek, and seasonal mountain views, it's a property designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and enjoying the beauty of Western North Carolina. But this cabin offers more than a beautiful place to be home. It is also an established and successful Airbnb with an excellent guest reputation, offering a rare opportunity for a buyer who wants a property that can begin producing short-term rental income without having to build a rental business from the ground up. The cabin is already thoughtfully furnished and set up for guests, making the transition to a new owner exceptionally simple. Inside, warm log construction and rustic character are balanced with comfortable, inviting spaces. The main level features a living room, dining area, equipped kitchen, reading nook, king primary bedroom with ensuite bath, additional half bath, and a cozy loft with two twin beds. A sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping space. A wrap-around deck offers plenty of room to sit among the trees.
