'Doolittle Mountain Cabin' Views, Hot Tub & Deck!

This 3BR/3BA authentic log cabin, affectionately named Doolittle Mountain Cabin, is a full mountain experience in a charming wooded retreat on 30 acres of land with several private hiking trails. Enjoy movie nights in the cozy living area, fire up the grill for an alfresco barbecue, go for a relaxing dip in the private hot tub, or toast marshmallows around the outdoor fire pit.

-- THE PROPERTY --

The welcoming living room showcases soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and views of the French Broad River. Hardwood flooring flows throughout the open-concept space, detailed with a 45 and 40 TV, gas fireplace, sofa, and a recliner.

Enjoy home cooking in the fully equipped kitchen with a countertop bar for three. Then gather the group at the wood dining table set for six.

The second-floor primary suite boasts a queen bed, private balcony, river views, and an en-suite bath with shower/tub combination. Just outside this bedroom is a second seating area with two queen futons (sleeps four children) and a 32' TV with a DVD and VHS player (no cable).

The second bedroom is located on the main level and features a queen bed with crisp linens and plush pillows. The second bathroom boasts a glass door shower and a jetted tub.

The lower-level third bedroom offers two twin beds, while the third bathroom is equipped with a shower/tub combination.

Fire up the outdoor grill and dine alfresco on the covered deck with a six-seat table.

After dinner, dip in the hot tub in the backyard gazebo, and come together at the firepit to toast marshmallows. Or pack your best hiking shoes and enjoy a scenic hike on the private hiking trails displaying a variety of flora and fauna.

Complimentary Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and parking for four vehicles are provided.

Step outside onto the large, quiet porch adorned with rocking papasan chairs, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or curling up with a good book. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit for an evening of storytelling and laughter under the stars. For those who enjoy a little friendly competition, cornhole and board games are provided for your entertainment.

-- THE LOCATION --

The property borders on the French Broad River (which provides fishing) with fabulous views of the river, both short-range and long-range views.

Set on a hilltop overlooking the French Broad River, this rental cabin offers the perfect blend of quiet seclusion and close proximity to area attractions. Access the river at Blannahassett Community Center and Island Park, approximately 4 miles north.

Main Street Marshall is about three miles away (a five-minute drive) and features your pick of quaint cafes and diners, like Sweet Monkey Cafe and Zuma Coffee House. Check out local art at Flow Art Gallery, and enjoy the riverside serenity at Walnut Island River Park. The historical town of Marshal is three and a half miles away.

A bit further afield, check out Weaverville shops and restaurants (11.3 miles away), The Biltmore House, Grove Park Inn, breweries (Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, and Highland) or discover downtown Asheville's vibrant arts scene (25-minute drive). Other activities in the area include hiking on the Appalachian Trail, horseback riding, white water rafting, and zip-lining.

This is everything you'd dream of in a mountain cabin. Breath-taking views including the French Broad River below. Host was great as well. Only tip would be try to first arrive during daylight to see the road up to the cabin better. We got used to it quickly but it's definitely steep. Cabin was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

This was THE mountain cabin dream home we hoped it would be and more. Gorgeous views from every angle. You can see and hear the French Broad River from the master suite and multiple locations on the property. Our family had fun hiking around the property and there were multiple little marked trails. One recommendation to future renters is try to arrive the first time during daylight. It is a true mountain cabin and the road up is fairly narrow with tight turns and steep drops which was a little freaky in the dark. Luckily we brought a flashlight which helped the first time up. Once you get up there though it's totally worth it for the amazing views. The host was super helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Outdoorsman’s dream

Kids (5, 7, & 10) loved playing outside going on hikes with trails on property. Great views from porch and hot tub. Great sunsets. Secluded. Kids couldn’t wait to get back to cabin after our adventures for the day. Drive way is steep and is an adventure the first time. If we ever make our way back to West NC we will definitely stay here.

Fabulous

What a great get-away. We can't say enough good things about this cabin. The cabin, the grounds, the amenities, the hot tub, the views were all above our expectations. Plenty of towels, linens, flatware, silverware, glasses, pots and pans and cooking utensils. We WILL stay there again. Everyone mentions the driveway being difficult. We never had to put our vehicles in 4WD. It's actually a fun ride up to the cabin. The flow of the French Broad River below us was a beautiful sound. Plus, you get to drive along the river on the way there. We saw deer, turkeys and a small bear on the property while we were there :-) You will not regret reserving this cabin, it was wonderful!

An Enjoyable Stay

I rented the cabin with three friends for a three-day creative retreat, and it lived up to expectations. While the driveway was a challenge, the view of the French Broad River was spectacular, and the site provided good creative inspiration. The hot tub and fire pit were both excellent, and the kitchen was well equipped (though missing a spatula, though we were able to make do easily enough). The beds were comfortable, though the downstairs bedroom was a bit chilly at night. My only real complaint is that the downstairs and first floor bathrooms weren't stocked with towels. Other than that, my friends and I loved it and had a wonderful time.

Great getaway

My husband and I have now stayed at this property twice and we love it. It’s secluded, has a beautiful view, and we love the location. It is about a 30 minute drive to Asheville, 10 minutes to downtown Marshall and close to a couple other areas as well. If you want to be away from everything but close enough to town to go out to dinner or visit a museum, the arts district, biltmore estate etc this is a great place which we would recommend. It’s also good to note it is about 10 minutes from a grocery store as well so very convenient if you’re buying food to cook for your stay or forgot to bring an essential with you.

Beautiful log cabin

Great log cabin in Madison County right outside Asheville. Beautiful view of the French Broad from the front porch. Cabin was perfect for our party of 6. Photos are accurate. Easy access to rafting and other activities in and around Marshall and easy drive into Asheville. The driveway is steep as advertised, and our SUVs did fine with it.

Better than expected!

Unbelievable location. Breath-taking views and serenity up there on the crest. Gorgeous house, awesome hot tub, ideal meadow for reading or picnicking, close to the CUTEST old town of Marshall… SUPER DUPER clean property. We are definitely coming back! (Our only complaint was the little centipedes that invade the first floor each night and the wasps that stung my son on the porch. We annihilated the centipedes with a wasp spray we found, but their dead little bodies were then our morning discovery. I’d recommend Turnkey get a pest control service to remove the wasp nests (there’s a little one above the hot tub) and seal the transition at the basement door. Other than that- INCREDIBLE experience!
