Ivy Creek Hideaway offers a true feeling of seclusion, yet is only minutes away from all modern conveniences. The property has 1 gig fiber internet, so the entire family can stream at the same time if needed. This classic log cabin is the perfect place to relax and gather with family and friends when you are not out experiencing the countless attractions in the area.
The cabin is the perfect balance between classic mountain cabin architecture and modern comforts and conveniences. The first level includes a main living area, kitchen, bathroom and sunroom. The main living area includes a dining area, sitting area and living room that includes a 65" TV and an assortment of games, books, puzzles and toys. The living room couch features a full size pull out bed. The sunroom can function as an additional living space or a bedroom with a king bed or two twin beds. The sunroom has a 55" TV and a desk for working or schooling. Both TVs are setup with Netflix and Disney+.
The second level includes two bedrooms and a bathroom. The family suite bedroom upstairs includes a king bed and two built in twin beds. These twin beds are slightly shorter and narrower than a standard twin bed to fit in the space. The second bedroom upstairs includes a king bed. This is an older cabin and some sound travels between the main living area on the main level and the bedrooms upstairs.
Outside is a covered porch that sits just a few feet from the stream. The stream provides a pleasant sound as you relax outside. When it's time for dinner a large 5 burner propane grill is available on the expansive patio just off the porch. The 10 foot picnic table easily accommodates everyone in the group. The backyard features a firepit circled by Adirondack chairs. The mini log cabin nearby provides a fun place for kids to explore and play.
A fully covered and illuminated outdoor game area with ping pong, foosball and cornhole provides entertainment day and night. Or relax in one of the hanging hammock chairs as you listen to the stream flow by a few feet away.
Heat is provided via two kerosene heaters that provide ample heat for the entire cabin. Each can be set to a desired temperature and they will maintain that temperature. The exhaust for these heaters is out the wall on the back side of the house and the porch on the front. While enjoying the front porch, the heater can be easily turned off to avoid exhaust. A wood burning fireplace in the living room provides great ambiance and additional heat.
During the warmer months window air conditioner units are placed in the main living area, sun room and family suite bedroom. These are newer and can be set to a desired temperature and they will maintain that temperature. They are very effective at keeping the cabin comfortable.
A high quality BOB stroller and Kelty child carrier are available for use during your stay. A Pack 'n Play is also provided.
A year round stream runs just a few feet from the front of the cabin. The property is very private and quiet. Typically the only sound that can be heard is the stream flowing by. No neighboring homes can be seen from the cabin. The road for the neighborhood runs along the southeast side of the property. Only three other homes are past this property on that road, so the road is very rarely used.
Access to the property is extremely easy. The home is located 1/4 mile off of the 4 lane Hwy 25/70 on a paved, relatively flat, state maintained street. Even with inclimate weather (which is rare), access to the properly is not a problem.
If a rideshare like Uber or Lyft is preferred, the typical cost for a ride to/from Asheville is $20.
