About this property

Peaceful Mountain Cottage 3bdrm Deck with Gazebo near Stream

"The Fox Den" is a peaceful mountain cottage nestled in a valley, above a creek, just down from Deep Gap on the Black Mountain Ridge Crest Trail that leads to Mount Mitchell, tallest mountain east of the Rockies. Enjoy the all wood interior, the deck with gazebo that feels like a treehouse above a mountain stream. Cottage equipped with kitchen, full bath, 3 bedrooms, deck with gazebo, 2 swings under the house, and Japanese Garden.

This is a real getaway space, great for relaxing and being with the ones you love. Burnsville and stores are 11 miles away. Nearby are crafts, gifts and groceries, hiking trails and rivers. 45 miles from Asheville with its city attractions. Lounge and dine on the deck in the gazebo, enjoy the fun master bedroom, and listen to the mountain stream down below. Take a deep breath. No pets please. Restore. Refresh. Relax.

Guest access

You have the entire home all to yourselves, with kitchen, full bath, 3 bedrooms, deck with gazebo, stone patio, plus 2 swings under the house, and Japanese Garden. Area has: nice 20 minute walk along the creek right from Fox Den, or hike 2.5 hours up to Deep Gap right up the hill, or 6 hour hike to Mount Mitchell (leave a car there), Burnsville, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, groceries, theater, restaurants, arts and craft studios and stores.

Interaction with guests:

You are on your own, and I can be reached easily.

Other things to note

This is a fun, rustic mountain cottage. The interior is all wood floors and walls except the master bedroom with carpet and white walls. It is a small cozy place with three dining areas outside, two swings, and the deck.
You have the whole place to yourselves with your own kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, living room, deck, gazebo, and under the cottage are two swings also for your private use.
The well water here is different from city water. It is rich in minerals and has a high iron content. It is clean and safe, but most people prefer bottled water. We provide a jug of drinking water. Welcome to the mountains!

**Sorry, Pets are currently Not Allowed due to some bad experiences recently. Sneaking in a pet results in a $100 fine. Sorry to have to do this.

REVIEWS

Amazing hospitality and great place for a mountain get-away! -Samuel April 2019

Ron was very courteous and responsive. Cabin would be a great base for hiking in the Mt Mitchell area. -James April 2019

Very sweet spot! We were there in the winter and stayed very warm! Gorgeous location, just a short drive away from a nearby town with coffee shops, groceries, fly fishing shops, etc.

I’d definitely return in the summer! - Kate

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful place in the mountains. My family and I enjoyed every second at the Fox den. We had campfires and told spooky stories and went hiking to several waterfalls. We drove into Asheville which is only an hour away and had a fun time looking through all the shops. We will definitely be back! -Sarah October 2018

Beautiful cabin in a good location
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is cozy with plenty of fox themed decorations and a deck that's great for taking in some fresh air. The cabin is in a nice, quiet location. The creek running behind it provides background noise great for falling asleep or just relaxing. Overall, this is a nice cabin to stay in.

Enchantment
I am from the south and feel absolutely drawn to the mountains. This delightful cottage sits nestled right on a mountain road with a babbling brook just outside of your window...Everything you need to be comfortable and close to nature... Even a road below the cabin for a nice hike... I needed a get away and found it here... Ron was an insightful host and very accomodating. Would love to stay again! Namaste~ mary

Short and Sweet
Very cute and cozy home right next to Cattail Creek. Owner has left many touches to ensure a great stay. Even if it happens to rain on your visit don't worry there's plenty to do in the house with board games and such. I will most definitely be booking again. Thanks Ron

About the host

Hosted by Ron Moore

Host profile image
I grew up traveling. I'm a musician and my parents were missionaries in Korea, so world travel was normal for me from the get go. Staying in people's homes, hotels, and my own homes has given me an appreciation of feeling "at home", and a creative, fun use of space. I spend part of my time in Asheville, NC, and often stay at the Fox Den thinking of new ways to please my guests, and enjoying this simple and surprising special place.

Why they chose this property

The Fox Den was a getaway "love nest" for a couple from Asheville. They loved to come up to be alone together, to write, and to "do nothing". Sadly the husband passed away. To keep the dream alive it continues to be a "love nest" for couples, families or just you. The Fox Den is in a long established community of people who wanted to get away from it all. It is a safe and peaceful neighborhood - great for a casual stroll along the stream, or for serious hiking along the Black Mountain Ridge Crest Trail. The valley has a long history of logging roads that wind up the mountain that are now very nice hiking trails.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with The Fox Den for its tranquility, with my favorite place being out on the deck over the stream. Inside, I put the couch and easy chairs facing each other for conversation. I thought of not having a TV, but have succumbed with a nice TV and smart DVD player that gets internet services. Outside the house there are no less than four dining areas and two swings. The deck itself is great for a few hours of sun, and bright stars at night. We get a lot of hikers, and folks who want to visit Asheville, but want to avoid the crowds and higher prices, and just want to relax quietly when they come "home". Families like the strolls through the forested neighborhood, the creek, fishing, and nearby crafts and outdoor activities. It's simple, just rustic enough, and people say their experience here borders on the magical. That's nice to hear. It really makes me happy when i read the wonderful guest notes of what a nice time people had.
