Barefoot Lodge at Dix Creek

Come and relax in a private space nestled in rolling hills, yet only 15 minutes from the many experiences city centre Asheville has to offer. This spot is great for couples, families, or friends looking to enjoy time together. Whether you're wanting to break away from city life, explore the outdoors, check out Asheville's food scene, or just gather with others, this cabin fits the bill. Get cosy under a blanket by the fireplace, enjoy some friendly competition in the game room, or roast some s'mores in the outdoor fire pit. Whatever it is you're looking forward to most, we'd like the chance to host your Asheville adventure.

Walk up to the large front porch and enter to the main level which features a fully equipped kitchen, dining table, living room, wood burning fireplace, full bathroom, and large laundry/mudroom. Walk upstairs to the three bedrooms and second full bathroom, or head downstairs to the basement with game tables, additional seating and second fireplace. Walk out of the kitchen to the back porch with a smaller fenced in area for your pups. Large grill offers convenient outdoor cooking. Patio and fire pit situated near creek.

*Please note that after hurricane Helene, the cabin has undergone some renovations and upgrades that haven't yet been reflected in photos. These include new roof, new basement floor, new basement furniture, shuffleboard table has been replaced with foosball table.

Nice property. Convenient for us to go to Sierra Nevada and Mills River area as well as Biltmore and downtown Asheville. House was a good size for 5 adults and 2 pups. Easy access to cook at the house. Little dusty but as to be expected in the mountains and a log cabin. We enjoyed our stay!

A fantastic cabin and property only 10-15 minutes from Asheville. Kids loved the property and cozy fireplace. It was a much needed reset from our busy lives. Nothing beats a coffee early on the porch with the quiet sounds of nature.

Everything you could want

Our 3-day stay was exceptional. The cabin was comfortable and rustic but with everything you could possibly want or need. The host was very responsive and answered all questions quickly and accurately. The pictures of the cabin and grounds are accurate. Would definitely stay there again. It’s a wonderful experience.

Great Asheville Getaway

This is a wonderful property that is close to Asheville (convenience) yet has the privacy (mostly) of being in the country. The roads do have a lot of traffic, though. The house has everything you’ll need. Great layout and very spacious for a couple (almost too much room!) or a family. The game room was a nice surprise but we spent the majority of our time on the front porch after a day of hiking.

Great experience.

My wife wanted a cooler weather getaway from Hilton Head, South Carolina. She and I were very pleased. The only constructive comment she had was the game room downstairs was nice, although not really finished. We never used it. We are looking at the Mountain View property for next year.

Convenient to Asheville in a quiet rural setting

Dix Creek Cabin was a perfect setting for a mini family reunion. The floor plan is fairly open from the kitchen to the dining area, and from there to the living room. That let us be together and still have some space. The ability to bring a dog was a huge bonus. The "kids" enjoyed the game room, and we appreciated the garage for loading and unloading our car in the rain. The yard is beautiful, although persistent rain kept us inside when we were not enjoying Asheville, Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thanks to Birgit & Tony for sharing their lovely home with us.

Fantastic!

The home is exactly as described. It it super clean and nicely decorated. When we arrived the owners had a bottle of wine, coffee, hot chocolate etc waiting for us which made us feel very welcome. The owners kept in touch and provided us with very clear instructions. They also quickly responded when we had a questions. The bedrooms were nice and the beds were very comfortable. The linens and towels were also very nice as were the bathrooms which were also very clean. The owners left us plenty of firewood - the fires were so relaxing. My daughter really enjoyed the basement with game tables. The environment was very conducive to family time. She even put her phone down and requested to play board games with us. She has not done that in years. She also had a great time making smores by the fire pit. Good to see a teen enjoy something besides electronic devices. Her favorite thing though was the visit by the small donkey and cow next door. That was a lot of fun! The house was also very close to Asheville and Biltmore. We were able to easily get to Biltmore and the Grove Park Inn. Asheville is a beautiful city and is perfect for a 3-4 day long weekend. This house was perfect and the hosts were wonderful! We highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Asheville. We are grateful that they shared their home on this site so that we could have such a great time. Why rent a hotel room when you can stay in a home like this? Thanks to the owners!
