Close to Asheville, Waynesville, Brevard, waterfalls, and great hiking. Four wheel drive or AWD vehicles are required for the gated gravel drive.

Thank you for your interest in our cabin. The owners live in the only other house on the property (+-1/2 mile away) and would be happy to offer suggestions regarding places to hike or visit while you’re staying here. The garage next to the cabin is not available to renters and is just used for storage.

We would be happy to go to the grocery store for you prior to your arrival so groceries will be in the cabin when you arrive. There is a fee for this service. Let us know if you’re interested and we'll provide details. If you don’t stop along the way to pick up what you need … there is a Dollar General 12 miles away. There are Ingles grocery stores approx 20 miles away in Waynesville and in Canton. There is also a Publix and Walmart in Waynesville.

Quintessential Cabin in the Woods
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience; a cozy cabin in the woods!! I told the owner, but I will say it again, the fact that she had 100% cotton sheets listed in her description was what sold me. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked, the fire pit ready. We can’t wait to come back again in other seasons and enjoy this fabulous log cabin. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Amazing mountain home and location!
Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was extremely comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The location was truly incredible and the area was so quiet and peaceful. We spent a lot of time on the porch taking in the beautiful view. And our kids spent a lot of time playing games and hanging out in the lower level. The owners were so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It was like the comfort of staying at a friends house with the luxuries of a nice hotel. Can’t wait to go back!

Perfect Getaway!
What an amazing stay we had! We are still dreaming of our time at Susan and Kevin's property. Wonderfully appointed, and so cozy and inviting. We loved spending time exploring the property and taking in the fresh mountain air. Close to many outdoor activities, beautiful waterfalls and the lovely town of Waynesville. We will be back!

Wonderful stay and hosts!
Our stay was wonderful from the time we booked up until we left! Susan and Kevin were such great hosts! Susan always kept us updated and provided with so much needed information about local places to visit and such! The house was very clean and cozy! The bed sheets and towels were very clean and fresh! Kevin met us at the gate and showed us up to the cabin. Susan warmly greeted us at the cabin. They provided us with everything to makes smores! It was a nice way to rest by the fire outside after our long drive. The sauna was amazing!!! The view from the decks were so beautiful, with mountains peeking at us. They provided routes to gorgeous view of the mountains and waterfalls!!! We absolutely loved our stay! On the day we were leaving, Susan brought us delicious homemade cookies!! And did I mention Susan gifted us her homemade jams? Absolutely delicious!!! The one very important thing to keep in mind, is you NEED a four wheel drive car!! Otherwise you wont be able to drive up their driveway. Its very steep. They did mention it to us, and made sure we had one. once we booked. But I didn't see it in other peoples reviews and didn't know before hand. Unless i didn't notice it in the description. Luckily we had an all wheel drive car. Overall a great experience! Thank you so much Susan and Kevin! We hope to visit you again!!!

Fantastic Home Base!
Our stay at Shining Rock Cabins was fantastic from the moment we received the welcome email to our last minutes on the property. Susan and Kevin are an amazing duo at helping us feel at home, while giving us lots of tips about places to visit, and trails to hike. The property was well maintained, with beautiful views, and provides wonderful accommodations. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Shining Rock Cabins, and will be booking again!
