Our rustic home provides a perfect balance of relaxation, activities, nature and more. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains and part of the Gated Wolf Laurel Community, you will quickly learn that our home allows you to enjoy the quiet of nature and still have access to many amenities and activities.
The views from Wolf Cabin Escape are breathtaking, and you can see them from inside home through the large windows, off the back deck or from the comfort of our new 6 person jetted hot tub.

Thank you for considering Wolf Cabin Escape. This may be the perfect place for you if:
• You’re looking for tranquility, wildlife, and nature
• You’re comfortable staying in a remote location
• You love amenities like a hot tub, firepit, fast cable Wi-Fi, and surrounding land to explore

This may not be the best place for you if:
• You’re not comfortable navigating a steep driveway
• You do not have 4WD in winter months
• You need it to be “AC cold” in summer months

For the best possible experience, please read the full description as it contains many important notes to understand before booking. We want to make sure that our home is right for you!

We purchased this property in April 2018 and that first year of ownership, we were selfish and had the place all to ourselves. This allowed us to use it as a family for various holidays and also make improvements and add our personal touch. Now we love sharing our home with others.
With the above being said, we understand that staying in our cabin is a unique experience. Here are some things to consider:

- 4WD/AWD is essential in the winter. We are open all year round and some of the most beautiful times to visit us is in the winter with a fresh snowfall. The roads within Wolf Laurel as well as our driveway really do require four-wheel drive in winter months. Several guests have "tested" their luck with a 2WD car and did not have a great experience. Our community has a roads & maintenance crew that works to clear the main roads, but remember, you are in the mountains. During the winter months we do recommend travel insurance if you don't feel comfortable driving during inclement weather.

- The property is not equipped with AC. Due to the climate in the mountains we have found it is not necessary and most homes do not have AC. We have found that on the days that it does get warmer if the windows are open and guests use the fans that we have provided then the temperature does come down. If you need it to be AC cold in summer months, we may not be right for you.

- Our property is built into the side of a mountain. The Wolf Laurel community has paved roads most of the way to our home, but then you will get on our street which is gravel. The driveway entrance is steep, but as shown in pictures and mentioned by many guests, very doable. It can look intimidating the first time you approach it just as it did for us when we first purchased it. Guests must take their time and navigate slowly, but will realize that it's not as bad once you have done it. From our driveway, there are 24 steps down to get to our home (see picture). If you are not interested or have a difficult time navigating stairs and are looking for a paved road with an easy to access flat driveway, we may not be the place for you.

- We have a creek, a firepit and much land to explore. Exploring our property can be an adventure, but not for those who may be uncomfortable on trails or navigating outdoor terrain.

- A big part of our attraction is the amenity of a hot tub. We love it! Our guests love it! For nearly every guest, there are no issues with using the hot tub and enjoying the heat, jets and view. At the same time, routine maintenance on an item like this is required. We have several contracted repair companies that can typically fix anything. Our housekeeper maintains testing and chemical levels. Should an issue arise, please understand that we do everything in real time to get it resolved for your stay.

- Please don’t hesitate to ask questions prior to booking. We want to make sure that our expectations for this visit are aligned and that you thoroughly enjoy your stay.

Owners are so thoughtful to leave every instruction you might need during your stay. Everything looks even better than on photos! Check in is as easy as to get texted your personal code to the door and enter. Hut tub was all clean and working, being ready for us to enjoy! For me and my 3 children it was real escape from hot summer city to nature! This cabin is beautifully located right in the mountain. There is a forest all around, so it was nice and warm, never hot. There was no need for air conditioner. Highly recommended for recharging and inspiration!"

The kitchen is fully stocked with all you may need to cook with; all linens (+ extra quilts for winter!) are provided.

Here are more details:
There is a dining table and chairs inside for cold winter nights, but in all likelihood, you will enjoy all your meals at the dining table on the large screened-in porch. The porch has festive lights and a hammock during the summer. It is a great spot to listen to the sound of the waters of Puncheon Fork Creek across the road, or for bird watching.

There is a queen-size captain's bed (dresser drawers underneath) in the bedroom with 4 pillows, a comfy mattress, and extra quilts for chilly evenings.

The bathroom has plenty of natural light (skylight), towels, and a hairdryer. Please note that while we do have a shower with a glass door, we DO NOT have a bathtub. If you are a big person (over 6') you are going to find the shower to be a bit small.

In the living room, we have a 36" flat-screen Smart TV (you can choose from a variety of local channels + movie channels or log into your Netflix or Prime accounts, etc.), high-speed Wi-Fi, and landline from which you can make local calls. We also have loads of area maps, flyers, magazines, etc about the area. If you like to play games, we have Trivial Pursuit, checkers, chess, Yahtzee, Uno, dominoes, and Texas Hold Em poker, and more -- have fun!!! If you like to read, there is sure to be a novel on the shelf that strikes your fancy. There are lots of movies (75+ DVDs) to watch, too.

In the living room, there is a day bed (twin mattress) with a pull-out trundle underneath (another twin mattress). The trundle pops up and is on a rolling frame so you can put it wherever you want or make up the two twins together to form a queen.
We have a laundry closet with a washer and dryer that you are welcome to use -- because kids + dogs = muddy : ).

We are dog-friendly, too! There is a tie-out next to the firepit if your pooch tends to wander. Your dog will enjoy sniffing around the backyard area. Please note: We have 3 acres and it is NOT fenced. Our neighbors have a variety of livestock and dogs….keep your dog with you at all times.

We have a large fire pit in the backyard (and a wood stove inside for the winter). You can bring your own firewood to roast marshmallows on your campfire, or you can have firewood delivered for $30/day. ***Please let us know when you make your reservation so we can order the firewood delivery in advance*** The stars and constellations that you can see on a clear night are just breathtaking.

Two final notes that are important....
Our cabin is located in a "dry" section of Madison County. That means if you want to purchase any beer, wine, or liquor for your vacation, you need to do so in Asheville, Weaverville, or Mars Hill. Once you pass Exit 11, there is no alcohol for sale.

Finally, if you are considering a winter getaway to ski or snow tube, the magical winter wonderland that you will find at the cabin will not disappoint you. HOWEVER, you MUST have a 4WD vehicle!!! Our driveway is steep and is a gravel drive. It is not uncommon to get more than a foot of snow and have it last for a week or more. Icy conditions make navigating the drive extremely challenging (but once you get down to the road, it is plowed regularly!). Also, please be aware that there are frequent power outages in the winter. Most only last a few hours and aren't a big deal - as long as you have firewood!

If you have any further questions about our property, please don't hesitate to ask. We're happy to make local recommendations.

- "The place is adorable. The property was lovely even though it rained most of the time we were there. We enjoyed the covered patio and just relaxing to the rain drops. Our dog, Dobby, really enjoyed being included and he loved all the new smells. We went into Asheville one evening and he even got his own doggy dinner! The only complaints we had were the very large black ants in the house and the bed in the main bedroom was uncomfortable but we made do. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here especially if you have a fur baby with you. It’s obvious the owners have put a lot of love into the place"

For example, our most recent guest from January 2023, wrote, "My wife was a little worried about the host, Shelley, and her parents being connected on the same property, as we planned to stay out/up late, but we absolutely loved everything about it. If you are at all worried do not hesitate! Shelley is the perfect, most accommodating host."

- "the house was perfect and better than advertised! very comfortable for myself and my husband who is in a power wheelchair. no accessibility issues. the roll in shower is about the best I have seen. as you may be aware from the listing, it is a duplex but that is not an issue! you have all the privacy you want or need. rent this place!!" - "This was hands down the best VRBO stay we've ever had. First, we were travelling from the North Georgia mountains to Mars Hill on the day Artic Storm Elliot was headed our way and got very nervous about the possibility of icy roads and Shelley was so accommodating and let us head up a day earlier - which we could not have been more thankful for since we woke up on December 23rd to a full Winter Wonderland of snow (which started out as rain the night before). Shelley's dad, Offrand, greeted us when we arrived and was very helpful in explaining everything about the place. The actual space is beautifully appointed, decorated for Christmas and meticulously clean and organized. The beds are super comfortable and the gas fireplace was so cozy on our "snowed-in day". On Christmas Eve, thanks to Offrand, we were able to make it to our ski time (he lent us his windshield scraper) when it was -5 outside! (cold for anyone but did I mention we are Floridians?) Let's just say the family was very happy to return to Bear Branch Bliss and warm up in that amazing shower! I could really go on but I will end with this - I thought we were going to miss our holiday trip and was so sad, but because of Shelley's hospitality and thoughtfulness we ended up having a beautiful white Christmas in warm, cozy place that will be in our family memories forever. Whenever we travel again to the area this Bear Branch Bliss will always be our first choice. PS. Our pup Lilly loved it there too and had her first snow experience running around the property!"

- "I rented the Farmhouse for a short stay. The open floor plan creates a roominess you wouldn’t expect from a one-bedroom place. The living room is cozy and comes equipped with smart tv. The kitchen is a working kitchen but has sufficient counter space to create bigger meals. The house was very clean, check in / check out was easy . Keurig and coffee pods in the kitchen, cows in the pasture in the mornings. A great atmosphere!" - "Great place, easy, fantastic location. Absolutely gorgeous view out the back of the pasture area going up to the ridge line. Listen to the turkeys and watch the deer. In the mornings being greeted by the cows. Which came around each morning around 6:30-7:00. The location was super easy to get around. It’s about 15 min to Burnsville or 25 mins to Asheville. There is plenty to do and see close by. Whether its shopping, fishing, hiking, or just sipping wine or beers on the porch The kitchen is stocked really well. The porch is amazing. The cottage is very comfortable. It’s every thing you are looking for while you are in the mountains. Thanks for a great weekend!"
