Cabin vacation rentals in Forest City

We stayed at the Glenna for a mini honeymoon with two pups and loved it. It's in a secluded area with a few neighbors, which is exactly what we wanted. An short and easy drive to Asheville, but we found we enjoyed visiting the Arden/Fletcher area as well for food and hikes. The drive up to the cabin is beautiful with plenty of twisty curves as you would expect in the mountains, but a very enjoyable drive. (As of May 2025 the directions may mislead you due to a road closure, you'll go through it just a bit to turn in front of a very beautiful white church with a creek in front of it.) We spent most nights outside with a fire by the creek making smores or enjoying the quiet nature. Our dogs loved sniffing about everywhere they could find, especially our nightly walks around the property. We had a power outage and Larry was nice enough to stop by and drop some lights for us and Courtney left us some beautiful Asheville mugs. A wonderful cabin and area, we would definitely visit again!

When my friends and I arrived, we walked through each room shouting, "Wow!" We originally planned for a day trip to Asheville, but this place was so beautiful we just decided to stay in. The highlights were the view from the porch, the hot tub, and the rec room. Highly recommended stay and I wish I could've stayed longer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mountain Mama. The location was peaceful and private, the house itself was beautifully furnished inside! Loved everything about it. Host was extremely informative and responsive. Highly recommend to any family looking for a well equiped place to vacay!

Very comfortable, relaxing and peaceful. Home was clean and cozy! Highly recommend and will stay here again. Bed and furniture very comfortable and the hot tub was relaxing. Having shampoo and body wash as well as phone chargers (the things you tend to forget) was amazing. Nicely decorated! Porch is very relaxing and peaceful!

This cabin was absolutely magical! We visited on Memorial Day weekend and it could have been more perfect! It’s a beautiful cabin that has amazing views and really makes you feel at home. Our dog Luna absolutely loved the place! They left a whole variety of movies and games for us to enjoy while we were there as well! They also included a list with the best restaurants, hikes spots and things to do! We didn’t want to leave when our trip was over! Would love to come back one day in the future!

Me and my husband had the best time staying at this cabin! We loved that it was in the smaller town of Weaverville but such a close drive to Asheville! The cabin is so private and it was very quiet and peaceful the whole stay. Everything inside was extremely clean and organized. Nothing was confusing at all! The hot tub, fire pit, automatic shade, huge walk in shower, super comfy king bed, framed TV, and gas stove were some of our favorite features! We definitely hope to be staying here again in the future, not to mention Jessica and Travis were the best hosts ever, super responsive, gave great recommendations, and were very flexible! We HIGHLY recommend this place!

We loved our time at the cabin and would totally come back again. It was uncluttered, super clean, very cozy, the bed was amazing, kitchen stocked with essentials. We cooked our own dinner over the fire and in the stove and it was perfect. We loved the record collection! Such a fun touch. We hope to come and stay again soon.

We loved it and are looking forward to going back.

We enjoyed our time at Emerald Treehouse. The mountain views are exceptional. lots of trees and it feels really private. I will say getting up the hill to the property was a challenge. I'm so glad we drive a SUV. The road is gravel with deep holes, so be mindful of that. Another thing is the house had a lot of pet hair on the furnishings. I know the description said pet friendly, but pet hair was all on the couches and the pillows. We didn't have any pets with us. Overall a beautiful house, I can tell it is well maintained. We enjoyed our stay.

Our stay at this beautiful property was truly unforgettable. The porch offered breathtaking views, making it the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening relaxation. Even when we encountered a brief power outage, our host went above and beyond to assist us promptly and ensure our comfort — their attentiveness and care truly stood out. The home was cozy and well-maintained, providing an ideal setting for quality family time. We especially loved doing yoga together in such a peaceful setting — it was the perfect environment to unwind and reconnect. The location was also fantastic: just a short drive from Asheville and surrounded by amazing hiking trails. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat.

Really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is small but very comfortable and well-appointed. The property is fenced in so your dog can run around without going into the pasture. My husband enjoyed the hot tub on the back deck, and I loved the massage chair! Great location, close to everything. Would definitely stay there again!

Boyd is a very responsive and accommodating host. The cabin was very cozy and located in a peaceful, private community. It was well- equipped with all the essential cookware and toiletries. Games and books were also provided. Our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 children, and 1 dog) truly enjoyed our time there. Thank you for your hospitality, Boyd!

I would recommend Alison to anyone. She was our first host this being our first time using Airbnb. We couldn't ask for anyone better. Not to forget the beautiful house and view. I will never stay in a plain hotel again. I didn't have to worry about me and my families safety at all. Thank you Alison.

Definitely would stay here again. Perfect location to TIEC. Peaceful setting.

Alexis’ A-frame was beautiful and cozy. She had everything there we could possibly need! Finding the place, check-in/ getting in- everything was easy! I would definitely recommend!

The place are cozy and it’s a pet friendly . Beautiful scenery. Perfect place if you want to stay with your dog. Thank you.

We had a great stay at Sunburst lodge. It’s a very unique historic cabin in a quiet well spaced community. The cabin is beautiful and feels like you’ve went back in time, yet still had all the modern amenities you would come to expect. We also saw lots of deer during our stay. We are hoping to make a longer return visit in the fall. Alan was very helpful and responsive and was quick to respond to any questions. Thank you for having us!

We had a great time at the cabin. Beautiful area, peaceful surroundings and we loved the screened in porch. The road to the driveway is steep and a little worn down but we had no issues in our small SUV. Great place to watch birds and wildlife.

Stayed for two weeks. The cabin was just as described and very comfortable. Privacy was top of the list for this stay, and this property delivered. The house up the road was occupied for part of the stay, but the units are situated so the privacy was maintained, and it was clear that Gregg vets his guests to ensure the serenity is preserved. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to drop into nature. We fell asleep to the crickets and woke up to the birds.

Love, love, love Natalie’s place! Just the rural spot we needed for a last minute trip. She even accommodated to our arrival time! Do your research, however, unlike I did… the loud Harris speedway is on Saturday nights 😂 Really enjoyed our stay anyway.

My daughter and I loved this place. It was so convenient to TIEC and perfect for the weekend. The cabin is cozy with all the amenities that you need. Ashleigh was so easy to get in touch with and proactively communicated with us. We will be sure to book here on our next trip and have our friends book the cabin next door!

Mary’s place is a treasure in NC. it’s a great surrounding and taking the history of the whole place into consideration just makes this location very, very special. The cabin is super cozy but all amenities and features are top-notch, clean and super well maintained. The tour that Mary gave us of her property just shows the heart that she pours into this sanctuary. We were happy to stay and are excited to be back!

Great house, great communication with Nick & Emily! The community is gated which was a plus. The house is way up the mountain so prepare for winding roads - but worth the drive!

This place is incredible! It is a beautiful, thoughtful, and cozy home. I can’t say enough about how peaceful this place is for also being so close to in town amenities and hiking trails. All the host instructions were clear, every time I had a question I would read the guide first and my question was answered. We definitely plan on staying on our next WNC visit!
