Cubs Den Cabin Deck, Fire Pit and Year round Mountain Views!

Located in "Heart Ridge Cove" in Burnsville/Mars Hill, the newly constructed Cubs Den Cabin offers 100+ private acres with timber roads throughout and exceptional long-range mountain views from various parts of the cove that includes Mt Mitchell and Craggy Pinnacle Summit. Thoughtfully designed with two primary master bedrooms, a luxury log cabin experience awaits you.

The main floor of the cabin boasts an open-concept kitchen and dining space with a custom-built ”local oak” island and access to a spacious covered deck with 4 log-style rocking chairs to watch the morning fog roll across the cove. A connected gas grill and outdoor fire pit provide opportunities for fellowship whether whipping up dinner or making s'mores. When you're ready to settle in for the evening, the upper level offers a twin-size bunk bed on the loft-style landing at the top of the stairs. Continue to find two primary suites, each with a king-size bed, and an en suite bathroom with a clawfoot soaking tub and walk-in shower.

While private and peaceful, the home is conveniently located within a 13-minute drive of Mars Hill University and its Southern Appalachian Repertory Theater, and it's within a 15-minute drive of area grocery stores and downtown Burnsville which offers local shops, dining options, and a lively art scene. Catch a play at the historic Parkway Playhouse (open April-December), or check out the renowned Penland School of Craft and its corresponding gallery. Also within a 15-minute drive of the home are the Stables at Bucktown. Located just inside the gatehouse of The Preserve at Wolf Laurel, they offer trail rides, riding lessons, and 30-minute rides in the arena for horse enthusiasts under the age of 7.

Take a 20-minute drive to reach the charming small town of Weaverville, which is home to several notable restaurants like The Twisted Laurel and Stoney Knob Cafe, as well as the "Best Small Town" bakery, Well-Bred. There are also several breweries, green spaces, and festivals to enjoy throughout the year. For outdoor adventure, take a 25-minute drive to Navitat Canopy Adventures in Barnardsville to zipline atop the trees at sunset or under a blanket of stars, or take a 30-minute drive to reach Carolina Hemlocks Recreation Area (on the way to Mount Mitchell Park) which offers great outdoor swimming, tubing, and fishing opportunities.

An hour's drive South of Cubs Den Cabin will bring you to the iconic Mt. Mitchell peak, aka the highest mountain east of the Mississippi River, and its corresponding State Park—the perfect destination for a daytime adventure! In addition to this famous trek, the Burnsville area is home to a few other great hiking spots. If you're interested in chasing waterfalls, try the Roaring Fork Creek Falls, a 0.5-mile trail that leads to a stunning 100 ft. cascade and is suitable for all skill levels. If you're seeking panoramic mountain views, try the moderate Blue Ridge Pinnacle & Rocky Knob trail that winds through a lush forest setting chock full of various regional wildflowers, mushrooms, and birds before bringing you to the pinnacle. Cubs Den Cabin is also within a 15-minute drive from the newly branded Hatley Pointe Ski Resort (formerly Wolf Ridge Ski Resort). The ski resort also offers dining at its Smoke and Timber restaurant.

Remember that no trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina is complete without experiencing the “Paris of the South,” Asheville, located just 30 minutes away. While there, be sure to check out the ever-eccentric River Arts District, North Carolina Arboretum, and America's Largest Home ®, the Biltmore Estate. Asheville is also home to a large number of award-winning restaurants & breweries that you can sample between activities.

Traveling with a larger group? An identical, newly constructed cabin, "Deer Field Cabin," is also available to book! "Heart Ridge Cove" is true to its name; not only is the property line shaped like a heart, set in a private cove, but it has been a project of the heart for the homeowners as they lovingly design a luxury guest experience. We hope you'll "grow with us" in Heart Ridge Cove!
