2 Bedroom Cabin in Old Fort
This perfect mountain hideaway provides hours of relaxation and fun! A beautiful winding stone pathway passes the garden ponds and brings you to the relaxing front porch. As you enter the cabin, you are at peace with the world! The hand-hewn logs and many windows bring the warmth of nature inside. The great room centers around the kitchen and wood-burning stone fireplace, truly the heart of the log home. Outside, the swing and rocking chairs are the perfect spots to enjoy the private and serene woodland setting.
The lower level features a spectacular antique pine bar with a pool table and dartboard. Double doors lead outside to the secluded hot tub and fire pit. The second stone patio has an outdoor pizza oven and fire pit with a nearby picnic table and horseshoes. There is also a park-style charcoal grill to whip up your favorites. Many fruit trees, berry bushes, grapevines, and an organic garden are available for the "pickins." The cabin also has an outdoor hanging queen bed that's perfect for that afternoon nap. Off the bar is the "cork room" with a queen-sized bed and full bath.
Upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom with a king bed and en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and claw-foot soaking tub. From the king bed, morning views of the mist in the distant mountains are spectacular. There is a TV and a telescope for stargazing. There is an additional bedroom upstairs with two twin beds and a large TV that is open to the living area below. The upper deck with two rocking chairs is an ideal spot for morning coffee. The outdoor queen-sized hanging bed is just right for afternoon naps.
Located within the private community of Gateway Mountain in Old Fort, you'll have exclusive access to the waterfall park and Lake George access. Serenity Cabin is an easy 3-minute drive to Lake George, where you can leisurely swim, canoe, fish, or tube from Serenity Cabin's private dock where excellent "catch and release" fishing is allowed on this beautiful 7-acre community lake. Serenity is only a short hike to the neighborhood waterfall, one of the best in western North Carolina. You're also 20 minutes to Catawba Falls. Make sure you stop by GoGo's in Old Fort for delicious homemade cinnamon rolls. Serenity Cabin is approximately 10-15 minutes from Old Fort and 30-35 minutes from the charming towns of Black Mountain and Marion.
You'll love exploring the local shops, restaurants, and breweries in downtown Marion. If you're looking to enjoy some nightlife, check out Marion's Mica Town Brewing Company, Refinery 13 Taproom, and Spillway Bridge & Co. Black Mountain also boasts 3 local breweries: Pisgah Brewing, Lookout Brewing, and Black Mountain Brewing, along with incredible restaurants like Foothills Butcher Bar, Louise's Kitchen, and Black Mountain Bistro. Downtown Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure are all within a 45-minute drive.
Please note: This house is dog-friendly with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per dog (maximum of two). Sorry, this home is not cat-friendly due to common allergies. Greybeard homes are located near Pisgah National Forest. Ladybugs and Kudzu Beetles may be seen in our area in the fall and winter months, and it is not uncommon for them to find their way into homes to escape the cooler weather from time to time. They are not poisonous and cannot be exterminated. This home has a private floating dock on Lake George, but you will need to bring your own canoe, kayak, or float to enjoy the lake.
During the colder winter months, icy and/or snowy road conditions and delayed snow plow operations are possible within the development. From December through March, please come prepared with AWD or 4WD vehicles. We also recommend travel insurance for those staying in the Gateway Mountain development during the winter months. No parking is allowed on roadways or at gate entrances. No RVs, boat trailers, camping trailers, or trailers of any kind are permitted in the Gateway Mountain Community.
