Warm and inviting, Three Winds Cabin combines the charm of a log cabin in the woods with the privacy and convenience of a gated community. Located within the upscale Creston Community just 10 miles south of Black Mountain, this home is surrounded by 330+ acres of protected land within the community which connects to thousands of acres of Pisgah National Forest and Foothills Land Conservancy property. Take advantage of the tranquil and scenic setting by hiking down to one of 3 waterfalls, gathering in the community center around an outdoor fire pit, or picnicking at one of the scenic overlooks sprinkled throughout the community.

If you prefer to stay home, you can still enjoy the quiet and beauty of nature on the front porch swing and back screen porch, or curl up with a good book beside the fireplace. This cabin has an open living area on the main floor that is great for relaxing and entertaining while the lower-level game room is perfect for a ping pong tournament or just hanging out. If you're looking to explore neighboring towns during your visit, Three Winds Cabin is just a short 20-minute drive to downtown Black Mountain and a 40-minute drive to downtown Asheville, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure.

House Layout: Main level- Living room with a flat-screen TV and gas log fireplace; dining area with seating for 6; master bedroom with a queen; fall hall bath; full kitchen with views. Upper level- Loft with 2 twin beds and privacy screen. Lower level- Family/game room with ping pong table, sofa with pull-out, and 1 twin trundle bed; full hall bath; laundry room. Outdoors- Outdoor patio, with fireplace; screen porch and large deck on the main level provide lots of space and comfort; charcoal grill.

Please Note: This home is located within the private Creston Community. While guests are welcome to enjoy the Triple Falls Sanctuary trail and mountain overlooks sprinkled throughout the community, they are not permitted access to the Community Center, fitness center, or other facilities.

Timely Response to Issue

Sent on 2024-04-14 by David

Overall

Appreciate the quick response to a smoke/CO alarm sounding off at night with no apparent cause. The detector was replaced in the morning, and did not recur. Also, we were wise to arrive before dark the first night. Despite detailed directions sent, house numbers are not readily visible in daylight, and would not be visible at all in headlights after dark.

Manager's Response

David, it seems you had quite an eventful stay! We're happy to hear that our team at Greybeard was quick to respond and resolve the issue you encountered with the smoke/CO alarm. We appreciate you sharing your honest and valuable feedback with fellow travelers considering this home, and we hope you'll keep us in mind for any future trip to the mountains!

My Review

Overall

Very quiet and nice. Note: I believe we left behind a bad containing dirty laundry. If you could instruct the cleaning crew to throw out thank you. Things to note: -As already mentioned, update the Wi-Fi address as the one on the refrigerator instructions page requires a password. -The Coffee maker perks, but the coffee doesn’t pour down into carafe. The unit that connects to top of carafe is missing. I used a knife to gently push up so coffee would flow down. Other than that, great place

Manager's Response

Jack, thank you so much for your five-star review of Three Winds Cabin! We appreciate you bringing the issues with the information sheet and coffeemaker to our attention; our team members are working on replacing both before the next guest's arrival. We're happy to hear that you had an overall amazing experience, and we hope to host you again soon.

This house was perfect in every way. We loved the neighborhood and the access to trails within the development was awesome. The home was well stocked with everything we needed. We especially loved the screened porch and the outside fireplace, especially in the evenings. The selection of books was wonderful and quite the variety. It was just my husband and myself so we did not utilize the upstairs loft or the basement, but these areas would be great for kids, especially with the ping pong table. I honestly can't think of anything that would make this home any better! We will definitely be back!

Private Mountain Retreat

Cleanliness

Location

Property condition

We stayed at Three Winds for a week in early April with two small children (under 7). The home was clean, comfortable, plenty of space, gas fireplace, and great wrap-around deck with a large porch swing. The \"neighborhood\" is gated, very well maintained, and consists of relatively sparsely placed cabin-type homes. It was very peaceful and quiet. Despite a cabin directly next to Three Winds, still felt private. The community roads are narrow, very hilly, and winding, but pavement is in great condition. The community has some nice hiking trails (a bit steep, but still doable for small kids) leading to three small waterfalls-great for setting out your blanket for a picnic. There is also a small playground. Address is Black Mountain, but is a legitimate 25 min drive to town, so you will need to plan your day before heading out. Don't let that be a deterrent as the home is located in a good position to make fairly easy trips to Mt. Mitchell/Blue Ridge Parkway area to the north, Chimney Rock area to the south and everything in between. Our favorite \"nearby\" restaurants are Trailhead, Fresh (pizza), and Louise's Kitchen (breakfast/brunch). Activities (besides hiking and waterfalls) that are great for kids include Robert Lake Park in Montreat and gem mining in Chimney Rock (touristy, was skeptical at first, but kids had blast and would definitely do it again).

Manager's Response

Sounds like a wonderful stay! Yes, we totally agree! - Even though Three Winds includes a bit of a drive to Black Mountain, it's totally manageable and the home itself also offers some great privacy. Good picks for your favorite restaurants too -- those are some of the best! Would love to welcome you back.

Close to Black Mountain (25 minutes through winding roads), fast Internet, cozy, comfortable beds, all paved roads -- NO complaints!!! Hubby and I spent the week here with our two young children (ages 5 and 6), who loved walking up and down the stairs to the basement. Cute loft with two twin beds. Master extremely cozy, and large basement included a pool table and two day beds. Extremely well kept. Would come again!

The development is much nicer than expected, and the house is very secluded. We loved the privacy.
The pool table is great fun for all.
It wasn't a problem, but one should know there is no garbage pick up at the house. Rented takes it down to Black Mt to GreyBeard office. Doable, but extra.

Glad you enjoyed the stay!

The house is very nice and perfect size for a romantic getaway. I chose this place because it had a screened porch and I was not disappointed. We enjoyed our time out there. Only suggestion -- add a few wine glasses to the kitchen and it will be perfect!

Thank you for the feedback about the wine glasses. I'm glad you were pleased with the romantic getaway at Three Winds - that's great to hear! Come back soon!

A great way to start the holiday season in a real log cabin! A little remote (wife), just remote enough (husband), and great WiFi (Kids). A wonderful property perfectly situated between Ashville and Chimney Rock/Lake Lure. The local waterfalls (in the basin below the cabin) were spectacular. We had a great time!

Glad you started off the holiday season on the right foot and all enjoyed the amenities/location at Three Winds! Thanks for staying with Greybeard.

Everything was awesome. The staff contacted me with up to date information before I arrived and I had no problems finding the place or getting in. Sheets, linens, and property were neat and orderly. It's a dry county and kind of remote, so I advise stopping before you get there to stock up on supplies.

Manager's Response

So glad you enjoyed it and that the process was smooth for you. Actually, Buncombe county, where Three Winds is located, isn't a dry only restriction I know of is that you can't purchase before noon on Sunday. Sorry for the inconvenience if that happened! We hope to welcome you back to stay with us here at Greybeard Rentals soon!

Loved the house. It is in a great location. The house is beautiful! I think the owners should make the downstairs a bedroom since there is only one bathroom and it is on the main floor and the other bathroom is down stairs.

Wonderful Little Cabin in the Woods

This little cabin in the woods was a wonderful way to spend a week. It is isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world. The one thing that my wife and I noticed on our first night there was the number of stars in the sky at night. Since we were so far from lights, we could see all of them. Another thing was when going to sleep at night, everything was pitch black. There was no light coming through the blinds or anything. The cabin itself was very clean and had all of the things you would need to stay the week. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and towels and sheets were provided.

We ended up only venturing to the Asheville area once, to go see the Biltmore estate. I would highly recommend going and seeing this wonderful site. It is a little pricey, but the experience was definitely worth it.

We did have one issue with maintenance. When we arrived, we had almost no water pressure and the hot water would go out after a couple minutes. We called the rental agency and when they opened, they called us and sent out a maintenance man. He found the filter for the tankless-hot water heater was full, so a simple replacement fixed our problem. Other than that, everything was great!

Manager's Response

Sorry again for the water pressure issue at the beginning of your stay. Thanks for letting us know so promptly so we could work to resolve the issue! We appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed your stay, and the visit to the Biltmore and we would enjoy having you back to visit at some point!

A very nice place to stay. Secluded yet close enough. All the amenities needed for a home away from home. The loft with the twin beds was a hit with two early teen girls as was the pool table. Comfortable beds.

The directions were a little confusing. But, we found the cabin and enjoyed our stay.

Would recommend The Straightaway Restaurant. Good atmosphere, fine food.
