Secluded 4BR Lodge & Historic Cabin Near AVL w/2 Hot Tubs + Biltmore Pass

**Occupancy Requirement. Due to the presence of a wood-burning fireplace and for the overall safety of all guests, at least one guest aged 18 or older must be staying in the rustic cabin at all times when minors are present. Minors are not permitted to stay in the cabin without a parent, guardian, or responsible adult. This policy is strictly enforced to ensure proper supervision around open flames and other cabin features.

Just ten miles east of Asheville, North Carolina, Wildheart Sanctuary is a private mountain retreat featuring a beautifully updated single-level main lodge and a neighboring hundred-year-old log cabin, both surrounded by mature forest. Guests may encounter deer and turkeys wandering through the yard, offering a peaceful connection with nature. The main lodge offers single-level living with a sunken living room centered around a soaring stone fireplace, a spacious dining area filled with natural light, and a gourmet kitchen ideal for entertaining. Five bedrooms, each with a television, and three full bathrooms provide ample accommodations for families and groups. The primary suite includes a king-size bed, a natural rock hearth fireplace, and a deep soaking tub. Recreation abounds in the adjacent game room with automatic garage doors, foosball, ping-pong, and card tables, along with an outdoor lawn area for cornhole. Just outside, guests will enjoy a sunken hot tub, a luxury fire pit with seating, and a hammock set beneath the trees for peaceful afternoon lounging.

Also located near the main lodge, Cabin Thyme is an authentic Appalachian log cabin filled with rustic charm and modern comfort. While the cabin's exterior maintains its original character from the early 1900s, the interior has been fully renovated with a sleek modern kitchen, updated bathroom, and thoughtful touches throughout. This handcrafted retreat features a covered front porch, wood-burning fireplace, mini-fridge, WiFi, and a television. With its seamless blend of natural beauty, luxurious amenities, and proximity to downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Wildheart Sanctuary offers an exceptional mountain getaway that encourages both adventure and relaxation. This Asheville vacation rental is located in Asheville and is approximately 20 minutes to downtown Asheville.

Trip to The Cove

We enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the furnishings and linens. And also the beautiful Forest location. However it was difficult to find the place as it appeared to be a “rugged” driveway/road and we weren’t expecting that. Perhaps add more detail of the driveway being a gravel and rugged driveway. Thank you.

Great family stay.

Beautiful home, great setup to enjoy family fun with game room that opens to fire pit area. John was very responsive and quick to address an issue with a/c. Children enjoy walk to farm to see animals and we got a couple glimpses of a bear. Fresh eggs were enjoyed by all.

A big hit for girls weekend!

This house was perfect for our girls weekend in Asheville. We had people driving in from a few different places and no one had issues with the directions/address provided. We had plenty of space and loved the layout of the home. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the extra amenities, like the ping pong table, firepit, and hot tub. We all wished we had planned to stay a few more days!!

Great Birthday Weekend!

The house was great!! We came with 2 couples and 2 singles. We really enjoyed the fire pit and ping pong table. We took an uber into Asheville for one of our days. the uber was about $45 and 18 minutes. The kitchen had everything that we needed and the host provided a very nice welcome gift. We took the trails and met the farm animals. Overall, I would stay there again.

The Lodge was amazing!

Our stay at The Lodge was excellent! The farm fresh basket of eggs were delicious as well as the basket of goodies. The trails near the property are challenging and well maintained. The Lodge itself is very charming, with a great hot tub and outdoor fire pit. The Lodge has two large fireplaces inside and a very comfortable living room. We enjoyed the pocket doors and a great kitchen. The location to Asheville is very convenient when you want to go downtown.

So relaxing!

We really loved our stay. Having the animals nearby was so fun, and the fresh eggs were tasty. We enjoyed the hikes nearby. Most of all I appreciated the relaxing feeling of the house. It was nice to not have to buy things like dishwasher detergent, shampoo/conditioner, and little things that you always end up having to buy and hardly use. Thank you!

Beautiful home in the trees

We absolutely loved The Lodge for our annual “friends retreat!” The house was spacious, well equipped, nicely furnished and in a great location - close, but not too close to Asheville. We enjoyed a walk around the trails, visiting the critters at the little farm, fresh delicious eggs!, the fireplace and the clean working grill - all in 3 days! Only downside was with using the fireplace, the primary br got pretty smoky smelling. Would highly recommend a stay there though if you are looking for a big home in a wooded area.

Wonderful property!

This was a great place for our family’s mini-reunion of 8 during Thanksgiving week! The Lodge was clean and spacious. We loved walking the trails on the property, visiting the farm and animals, enjoying fresh eggs for breakfast, and enjoying the fireplace on one cold rainy day (wood provided). It is close enough to Asheville to do all it has to do fairly easily and still enjoy staying in a more rustic environment. Loved it!

Amazing home!

My friends and I absolutely loved staying here! We came to Asheville for a “moms weekend away” and it was a dream! We had so much fun! The house was exceptionally clean. We all wore white socks basically the entire weekend around the house and our socks were still white hours later! That’s pretty much unheard of! We enjoyed the fire outside! The little mini farm at the front of the property with the goats, chickens and llama was so precious and fun to visit. It was about 20 minutes to the Biltmore, which was very convenient. I will say, the service is very spotty at the house. Luckily we were just there to have fun together so we didn’t really need cell service. We saw 4 bears upon arrival, so definitely be cautious of that! Beautiful property!!

4 night summer vacation

House was clean, wish there were rugs because floors are very noisy, we had infants so parents up at all hours of the night woke up the other housemates from squeaky floors. Trails on the property and the farm were a blast for the kids. Would be fun if the kids could feed the goats /chickens more, the one day they did that they were in HEAVEN! House initially didn't have sufficient garbage bags or paper products but housekeeping did drop off missing items. Overall, a nice place for a family trip!
