Little Hickory Top - Mountain Side Modern Cabin

Welcome to Little Hickory Top Cabin. Named after the mountain it overlooks, this modern cabin is perched on a ridge facing Bent Creek Experimental Forest. Convenient location offers easy access to all that Asheville has to offer. Find rest and recharge with beautiful views from every room, and a great deck to grill from.

This modern cabin is warm and welcoming with beautiful features throughout, including large timber framed ceilings and stairs. The home is three stories with a common area on the main floor and bedrooms on the upper and lower. It is EcoStar certified and was featured in the 2020 Asheville Parade of Homes!

The home is located in a quite cove behind Bent Creek Experimental Forest and Enka Lake. There is access into the forest less than a mile away while still convenient to the city. 20 minutes to downtown Asheville, Biltmore Estate, and the main entrance to Bent Creek. 30 Minutes from the Airport and Sierra Nevada. If you enjoy mountain biking and want to explore some classic Pisgah loops you are 40 minutes from the entrance to the Ranger District.

The easiest way to get around is by car, the home is located in a mountain side neighborhood with paved roads and drive way, accessible by any vehicle. The roads and drive way are steep so please take extra precaution in inclement weather or at night.

For those interested in working remote or needing connectivity the home has 400Mbps cable internet service and a Orbi Mesh router to ensure good WiFi throughout the house. Cell signal is also great, with LTE and 5G on both Verizon and T-Mobile.

If you are bringing little ones we have a pack n play (with sheets), baby gates, kids dinnerware, and a baby/toddler carrier hiking backpack! We have three young kids so if you need anything in advance let us know!

*Please Note*
We want to be great stewards of the home and neighborhood. Please be respectful while driving to the cabin, drive slow in the neighborhood (15mph!) and watch for pedestrians, kids, and pets. Please no partying or loud noise at any time during your stay.

Had an amazing stay with my wife. We thoroughly enjoyed the views off the back porch and the seclusiveness yet close enough to Asheville to enjoy the area. Would highly recommend to stay here. We will definitely be back again.

Book it! This property is lovely—clean, well appointed, great view, private, and well-situated for exploring the Asheville area. Owners are very responsive and helpful with all inquiries. You won’t regret staying here!

I absolutely loved this cute, cozy home with a great view!! This place was very neat and very clean! The appliances are really nice and update. I wouldn’t change a thing about this place except maybe suggest getting a hot tub. I messaged the owners about a small situation and they responded in a timely manner. I will most definitely be booking this place again in the future.
The view from the balcony was stunning!

Perfect Couple Getaway Stay!

We celebrated our 24 year anniversary here. We really appreciated the property being tucked away from neighbors. The trees that surround the property give you a sense that you are in a very remote location but you’re actually just about 20 minutes away from everything Asheville has to offer. Even though we only stayed for a couple of nights, I can see this being comfortable for a longer stay. I know there is nothing the owners can do to change these following two things so that’s why I still gave them a 5 star review. They warned us about the driveway but not being from a mountainous area this driveway is definitely extreme. It was unnerving to arrive late at night and be unfamiliar with the location and have to back in on an angle down to the bottom. I would honestly suggest some sort of guardrail to prevent accidents at the bottom of the hill. The second thing is there is no central air conditioning. We are unfamiliar with how to operate the air conditioning mini splits so we were either cold or hot. (Obviously user error but worth mentioning!) The views are amazing and the owner’s communication about everything was so good! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

What a view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The views were spectacular, especially the view above the clouds in the mornings. It was simply stunning! The home was clean and comfortable. If you are driving a large SUV like I did, follow the suggestion to back down the driveway into the parking spot. Wheee!!! Would we stay here again? Yes! Absolutely!

It's everything you want

This "cabin" is beautiful and clean. The views are amazing and the deck is an awesome place to relax and take them in. The fire pit area is very nicely done by an artisan and lovely to look at as well as sit by the fire on crisp nights and star gaze. The split of one bedroom being up and another being down with the main floor in between is ideal for 2 couples staying together. Great location is close to both hiking and downtown, I needed many more days here. Thank you!

Outstanding views

Property was clean and full of amenities. Exactly as advertised. Great views from multiple locations in and on the property. Owners are very thoughtful and were easy to communicate with. Driveway is a bit on the steep side and we elected to back down it in our 2500 pick up truck. We will be planning to come back and enjoy the property again in the next year.

This place was beautiful!! The view from the back deck was amazing! It was super clean and comfortable beds. All the details the host put into this place really shows! It literally has everything we needed. Plenty of baby/kid items, trash bags, soap, laundry detergent. I don’t have one negative thing to say!

Went to visit family with my spouse and one other couple. The cabin was clean, bright and spacious. Ample amount of living space and outdoor space. With one bedroom on the top floor and the second on the lower floor, we were together but had plenty of privacy! Would highly recommend!
