Asheville Cabin, 8 Acres, Mountain Views, Hot Tub + Fire Pit, Dog Friendly

Asheville mountain cabin on 8 private acres, 30 minutes from downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, with a hot tub, fire pit, wood stove and fast Wi-Fi. Long-range mountain views from the back porch and the dining room table, November through March. Your own wooded trail down to the creek, a fenced pasture for the dogs, tent beds and a scavenger hunt for the kids, and a loft with a projector for movie nights. Stocked kitchen, 20 minutes to downtown Black Mountain, 40 to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure.

THE VIEW
Moonlight sits on peaceful mountain land at the end of a gravel road. From November through March the long-range mountain views are wide open from the back porch and the dining room table over morning coffee; in summer the trees wrap the cabin in green. After dark, walk out to the pasture: there is no light pollution up here, and on a clear night the sky does the rest. Keep an eye out for Rodney the box turtle in the pasture, the turkeys, the owls, and the occasional bear passing through.
“There is no light pollution and the sky just comes to life.” – Michael
“Words cannot capture the true beauty of the house and its surroundings; even photos fall short.” – Kerri

THE PROPERTY
8 private acres. A huge fenced pasture where the dogs can run off leash and the kids can play. A fire pit in the quiet pasture for s’mores under the stars, firewood provided. Your own short wooded trail down to the mountain creek. A gas grill, a front porch bed swing that guests tell us is their favorite spot, and a covered back porch where rain on the metal roof is its own kind of entertainment.
“Good luck choosing whether to sit on the front porch or the back porch.” – Michael

INSIDE
Multiple living areas, cozy porches and hidden nooks so everyone can find their own corner. A wood stove for cold nights (firewood provided), a record player with Ella and Sinatra on the shelf, streaming TVs in the living room and both bedrooms, a popcorn maker for movie nights, and an upstairs loft with an oversized sofa and a projector. The big dining table seats the whole group and doubles as puzzle and game headquarters. There’s a jacuzzi tub inside too, in addition to the hot tub. Fast internet handles streaming and remote work, and the loft has an extra monitor if you need to get a little work done.

SLEEPING, UP TO 7
Upstairs king bedroom with two cozy tent beds the kids love (twin beds, and grown-ups fit too). Main-level bedroom with an adjustable queen. The loft sofa folds out to a queen. Two full bathrooms, a washer and dryer, and Tuft + Needle mattresses on every bed.
“The beds are the comfiest beds we’ve slept in.” – Faith

THE KITCHEN
An open kitchen with All-Clad cookware, a KitchenAid mixer, a full spice rack and the pantry basics for baking on a whim.
“The kitchen had great pans to work with (All-Clad!) and lots of seasonings, spices and pantry staples.” – Summer

FOR KIDS
Tent beds, a property-wide scavenger hunt, custom Moonlight coloring books, puzzles, books, tons of board games, and kid-friendly cups, plates and Moonlight placemats.
“Our daughter loved the bunk beds, stuffed deer, and fire pit!” – Michelle

FOR DOGS
Dogs welcome, up to 3, $75 per stay. Your pups run off leash on 8 private acres: fenced pasture, private trail to the creek, no leashes, no apologies. The pasture gives them safe room to run (please message for details), and we provide bowls, blankets, towels and treats, plus a bed or toys on request. Please let us know how many pups are coming. Due to severe owner allergies, cats are not permitted.

ASHEVILLE AND BEYOND
Asheville is 30 minutes door to door: the Biltmore Estate, the River Arts District, Blue Ridge Parkway overlooks, the downtown food scene, and more breweries per person than almost anywhere in the country. Downtown Black Mountain, under 20 minutes, has shops, live music, and great restaurants. Chimney Rock State Park and Lake Lure are about 40 minutes. Catawba Falls and Lookout Trail are popular hikes, and skiing and snow tubing are within 90 minutes in winter.
“Come, enjoy what feels like your own private mountain. You won’t regret it!” – Stephanie

IMPORTANT DETAILS
Accessing a mountain retreat means navigating a mountain road. Moonlight sits at the end of a 1.5-mile gravel road. It’s well-maintained but narrow (one lane) in spots, so take your time. AWD or 4WD is required during Dec-Feb due to snow/ice.

YOUR MOONLIGHT GUIDE
Before you arrive you get a link to our Moonlight Area Guide, built by us: our restaurant, brewery and coffee picks in Black Mountain and Asheville, the hikes we love, rainy-day plans with kids, where to walk the dogs in town, a night sky guide, and local happenings, all tailored to the dates of your stay.

THROUGH THE SEASONS
From November through March the long range views are open, the wood stove earns its keep, and the hot tub is at its best on a cold night. Spring puts the creek at full voice on your trail walk, and summer wraps the whole cabin in green. Moonlight also has something most mountain cabins don’t: a backup generator, so if a winter storm takes the power out, the lights, heat and water stay on.

COUPLES AND FRIENDS TOO
Moonlight is great for families, but it works just as well for two: a porch swing, a hot tub, a record player, a wood stove and nobody around. Several of our guests are on their second and third stays!
“It’s amazing how secluded and peaceful the cabin feels while still being only about 20 minutes from town.” – Melanie

“It’s even more beautiful than the pictures.” – Kyla
“Couldn’t recommend this place enough. 12/10! Laura is amazing, and the cabin was truly serene.” – Peter

Reserve your stay at Moonlight to enjoy the privacy, the views, and the thoughtful details that make it a one-of-a-kind mountain escape!
