Tucked within the woodlands on Gateway Mountain's private 3,000-acre nature preserve, this gorgeous and completely custom Timber Frame home seamlessly integrates country charm with modern convenience in its decor and amenities. After walking along the bridge entrance into the home, you'll be greeted by the high vaulted ceilings, spacious open floor plan, and unobstructed view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Gather around the stone, floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace to watch your favorite movies on the smart TV complete with a sleek soundbar that delivers high-quality surround sound to enhance your screening experience. Listen to music on the iHome charging deck while crafting a delicious meal for your family and friends in the fully-stocked kitchen that boasts a variety of streamlined utensils including a smooth surface stove, immersion blender, instapot, and coffee makers (Keurig and Standard Drip), just to name a few.

During the warmer months, take advantage of the sunshine and gas grill to create some savory seasonal favorites that you can enjoy on the covered back deck with the refreshing mountain breeze and breathtaking views. After dinner, unwind and relax in the 6-person hot tub with a glass of wine or stargaze (with s'mores) around the newly-added outdoor fire pit. Each morning watch the sun rise over the mountains while sipping your coffee before exploring the community waterfall and creek, hiking with your dog, using the guest mountain bikes and helmets to traverse nearby rugged trails, playing a round of ping pong or pool in the garage, or trying your hand at cornhole. Just 30 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and activities in Black Mountain and 45 minutes from downtown Asheville, this delightful, secluded paradise has something for everyone and is the perfect place for a relaxing couples' weekend getaway, an annual family vacation, or a get-together with your closest friends.

House layout: Main floor: Kitchen (island seats 2); Dining table seats 6; Living room with wood-burning fireplace, Apple TV & Direct TV (soundbar for surround sound), and a queen sleeper sofa; Master bedroom with a king bed (new Beautyrest Hybrid Mattress added Fall 2019), a wireless printer, and a full bath with newly-installed bidet and walk-in shower Lower Level: Bedroom with a queen bed. A full hall bath; Laundry nook with washer and dryer; Garage with ping pong table, pool table, 2 mountain bikes with helmets for guests to use, and corn hole boards.

A fire pit with seating for 4 was added in June 2019. A fenced-in backyard was added in 2020 so your pups can run freely without a leash.

Please Note: THERE IS ONGOING CONSTRUCTION NEAR THE PROPERTY.

Good morning we’re sorry we just missed the snow however such a great place to stay! The cabin was prepared, amazingly very clean. The amenities were just what we needed. I love the old town Atmosphere! However, we stayed mainly in the cabin Around the fireplace! I would definitely give five ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I will also be back very soon thank you all so much, We also left it just like we found it, Made sure everything was clean and followed the instructions on checkout!

Great house with great view

We rented for a long weekend. This house was very well stocked with everything you will need. I have rented other homes and they did not come with such a great stocked kitchen of everything you need. The beds were great, the hot tub amazing, but the view was the best of all. Would totally stay again. I think my only negative is that you can't get into the house from the garage driveway area, where you have to park. If there was access to open the garage it would have made it more convenient.

Manager's Response

We're delighted you enjoyed your time at Timber Hideaway and that the house was well-stocked with everything needed for an amazing experience. We appreciate you sharing your valued feedback with us, and we're looking forward to hosting you again when you return to the area!

The only reason our rating wasn't EXCELLENT is due to the difficulty we had moving all our belongings into the house.Our choice of was either through the garage and then up 16 steps or down the front wall which required rock climbing gear to get to the front door.That is the only reason we will not come back to Timber Hideaway.

Manager's Response

Scott, while we're happy to hear that you had an overall amazing experience at Timber Hideaway, we apologize for the difficulty you encountered with the steps and moving your belongings into the house. We do our best to provide photos of the parking area and stone steps leading to the home, but based on your feedback, we will include additional angles of the steps so incoming guests have a clear idea of what to expect. In the future, please don't hesitate to reach out to our reservations team so they can help you find the perfect vacation rental that meets your needs!

This home exceeded our expectations. We frequently rent properties in the mountains, either in Boone or near Asheville. Timber Hideaway has been the best thus far. Beautiful development, amazing views from the house, wonderful amenities (you will want for NOTHING as far as cooking!!). Many of the "little" things often forgotten with renting are all taken care of at this home. And, if you are bringing your sweet pup, it is home away from home for them. We hope to come back soon - only wish it was a bit larger to accommodate our entire family. (Or not, haha!!)Thanks for one of the most memorable vacations.

Manager's Response

Nancy, we're so thrilled to hear that this home exceeded your expectations and provided the best vacation rental experience you've had so far! We can't thank you enough for your kind review and for recommending this home to prospective guests, and we're excited to help you plan your next trip to the mountains soon. 

AMAZING LAST MINUTE GETAWAY

Sent on 2024-04-12 by Lisa

First off, the fact that they provide you with guided instructions on how to get to the check-in location and the cabin were a God send. GPS is bonkers up there. When we arrived, the house was so clean and inviting. I was happy to see there were dog bowls and treats available for our two. They were so excited and spent a lot of time running around in the fully fenced in back yard. I loved the little Gramophone where you could place your phone and amplify your music. Ample dishes, cookware, place settings, space. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed staying there. The hot tub was wonderful, as was the firepit in the back. My only issue was that the bed was too soft. That is not a dig on my stay. Mattress firmness is a preference. So I am not going to complain. I booked this one day in advance as a last-minute decision, and there were absolutely no issues. When the gate key didn't work, a quick text to the main office, and everything was taken care of. I wish I could live in that cabin for the rest of my life. I cannot give you all enough praise!

Manager's Response

Lisa, it sounds like you had an incredible stay at Timber Hideaway! We're so happy that the attention to detail in providing guided driving instructions and thoughtful amenities like the dog bowls and treats enhanced your experience. It's also wonderful to hear that your furry companions enjoyed the fully fenced backyard – sounds like they had a blast! Booking last minute can certainly be the luck of the draw, so it's fantastic to know that everything went smoothly and any issues were promptly resolved by our team. Here's to many more memorable stays in the future!

Loved our second stay at Timber Hideaway. Very comfortable and pleasant, very much a second home feel. Gorgeous view of the mountains from the deck (and hot tub), bedrooms and living area. Incredibly private. Easy access to the surrounding area. Can’t ask for more!

Amazing Getaway

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin! The weather was perfect! We opened up the windows and enjoyed all our time in the hot tub enjoying the beautiful view. All the furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with all we needed to prepare meals for our stay. I did plan meals out and made sure we had all ingredients necessary before coming up the mountain. As an avid gardener, I enjoyed the care and description of the landscape around the cabin. We didn’t see any bears on our stay, but did see a coyote, and heard a fox at night. Otherwise, the bats were fun to watch at dusk. It was the perfect, relaxing getaway! Definitely beware the falling walnuts in early fall! We parked up by the front door because the trees by the garage were dropping walnuts right and left! This trip was exactly what we wanted! I’m sure we’ll be back!

Manager's Response

Brooke, we're delighted that you and your husband had such a wonderful getaway at Timber Hideaway and enjoyed spending time in the hot tub looking out at the beautiful mountain views.

We were extremely pleased with our stay and the professional way in which everything was handled. Everything went exactly as we were told and that was a very welcome surprise compared to other trips not involving Greybeard Rentals. We found everything to be exactly as represented in the photos. A wonderful experience.

Would highly recommend this home. Views are stunning and peaceful. Kitchen is well stocked too. Pay attention to the directions from Greybeard to the house. Google maps had us enter through a further away gate...much scarier drive that way.

Absolutely wonderful cabin getaway. The layout of the cabin worked perfectly for us. The kitchen has everything you need if you decide to stay in and enjoy the amazing views from the hot tub, or deck. It is a lovely quiet location and has easy access in and out of the gated area. The only negative for us was the internet connection. We had several days where we were unable to watch streaming services like Netflix etc on the cabin TV. Our phones had trouble connecting to the WiFi on several occasions. We appreciate it is the mountains therefore service can be spotty but this was a little more than spotty in our opinion. If that’s not an issue for you then this is a great place to stay and explore the beautiful area of NC.

Manager's Response

Sounds like a wonderful stay! Great to hear this. We don't typically receive feedback about the wifi connection being weak at this home, but we will certainly look into this. Wi-Fi and cell connectivity can be spotty in the mountains as you mentioned and can vary depending on weather conditions. I am so glad that you enjoyed Timber Hideaway, overall!

The cabin was spacious with lots of windows to enjoy the trees and mountains from every room. We were fortunate that the leaves were changing colors when we arrived and were vibrant by the time we left. The cabin was easy to access and secluded.

Getting away to spend some quit time with my wife and Tucker.
We enjoyed exploring the property, riding out to Lake George and hiking down to the beautiful waterfalls.
The rental was really nice and was in a very beautiful and private setting.
While driving on the roads we got to see two bears which was an added bonus for our vacation.

Gorgeous views!!!

Everything!!! The location was perfect! So close to I-40 but also far enough away that you're nice and secluded. The only negative thing I can say is that the grill is basically unusable. There were brushes in it that were melted and the grill rack is completely falling apart. We were afraid to even try to use it. Luckily the appliances inside were great! Almost everything you could ever need is already there. One of the best things about our trip was that we also got to see a Mama Bear and 3 cubs while we were using the fire pit. It was so sweet and really made our trip even more memorable. The views were gorgeous!! I could've stared outside for hours! And the hot tub was great!! We really enjoyed our trip immensely. We feel so relaxed and rejuvenated.

A great escape

We loved the accommodations, everything was as described. Anything you could ever need in the kitchen if you like to cook. Of course, what can I say about the view - just beautiful and peaceful. I am very particular about comfort and the bed does not disappoint - very comfortable! We never left the cabin and enjoyed everything about it. Hot tub was a definite plus. We will be back to experience another Greybeard rental soon! Can't wait.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Timer Hideaway. It was impeccably clean and fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. The views are absolutely amazing. It is private providing exactly the getaway from people that we needed and wanted. We were there over Thanksgiving week and were even greeted with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree to top off our holiday week. It is very close to Asheville and to Catawba Falls, which we hiked during our stay. Inside the community, there was gorgeous hiking as well with foliage, waterfalls, and more. And the hot tub was the perfect way to end the evenings. We can't wait to return!

My husband and I rented this house for a long weekend. We really enjoyed the beautiful view of the mountains. We have rented many mountain houses in this area and we have to say this house has the best view. We also enjoyed the hot tub and all the amenities that this beautiful house has to offer including the fire pit, fully stocked kitchen (cookware, utensils, etc.), comfortable king size bed, etc. This house is very cozy and very nicely laid out. We also liked that it was so close to Black Mountain and Lake James - were we did some hiking.

The vacation rental was amazing. It was very clean and had a lot of supplies. The breathtaking view was wonderful. I only wish that the wood was covered with a tarp so that it would have been drier. The only other thing was the blinds were very thin so it was very bright in the bedrooms at 5:30-6am. But overall the property was very beautiful and I would definitely go back.

Manager's Response

Timber Hideaway is great! I'm glad you enjoyed the stay. Thanks for your feedback on the firewood and blinds.

This place was absolutely heaven on earth! The view from the back deck was breathtaking. The cabin was spotless and welcoming. We had homemade pumpkin bread on the kitchen counter waiting for us which was a special treat. It was just perfect and exactly what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. We will definitely go back again and stay longer. We found our “happy place”! It was perfect!

Everything was fine. Very secluded as stated even though close to road. You have to understand this is a gated community. We only saw one car pass the house all week. The house was very nice and warm feeling. The view from the deck was breathtaking. Very quiet and relaxing. The only thing that was an issue was the Apple TV. It recognized our Netflix account once but wouldn’t log in on future attempts. Gave up and watched dish tv. The house had everything that you would need. We did have a mix up on getting our card for the entrance to the community. You need to go into Old Fort to pick up you entrance card.

Manager's Response

I'm glad you enjoyed the stay! Sorry for the mix up about the gate card. We have a new process and were working out the details and I apologize for the confusion. The process is much smoother now. Thanks for letting us know about the Apple TV - I'll report this to our team.

Our vacation started the moment we stepped inside. The view of the mountains was wonderful. Couches very comfortable. Everything was very clean. Best appointed Kitchen of any rental we have experienced. The Ice and pumpkin bread greeting us was a nice touch. Local information wall helped us find outstanding food venues in Black Mountain.

This cabin is secluded, clean, and comfortable. The house was well-stocked, and the management company put up Christmas lights and left us some locally made pumpkin bread as a gift. The view is beautiful--when it's too cold for outdoor activities, you can just hang out on the couch and view the Black Mountains. One suggestion: please provide trail maps! We kept reading that there were trails in the neighborhood, but without maps, we were unable to locate the trail heads. Local trail maps of popular hikes in the area would be helpful, as well.

Manager's Response

I'm so glad you enjoyed the ambiance at Timber Hideaway! Thank you for your feedback about trail maps! This is a great suggestion. We will review with the team. Our Greybeard Rentals app our website also have some resources for area trails. We'd be happy to share this with you in the future.

We were looking forward to our annual relaxing Girls' weekend in the mountains & Timber Hideaway did not disappoint. The views were extraordinary & I remarked on more than one occasion that it was so quiet & peaceful you could actually hear the leaves falling from the trees! We did wish the house had cable to watch live TV but other than that would not have changed a thing! Well appointed & comfortable - enjoyed a roaring fire each night watching the sunset! Breathtaking & I cannot wait to bring my husband back for a romantic weekend.

Manager's Response

Wow, this sounds like you all had a wonderful time! Yes, cable can be challenging in some more secluded locations in the mountains, which is why it is stocked with Apple TV instead. Timber Hideaway is a great location to 'unplug' and enjoy nature and that beautiful home! Glad you had a nice time!

FAQs

WHERE IS THIS HOUSE LOCATED?

Timber Hideaway is located in Old Fort. This home is approximately a 20-minute drive to Black Mountain, a 25-minute drive to Marion, and approximately a 40-minute drive to Asheville. Click on the location tab above to locate this house on a map.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY?

If you need to cancel your reservation and the property you had reserved re-rents for the time which you had it reserved, you will be refunded all money you had paid minus an $89 cancellation fee. If you cancel and the property does not re-rent for your reserved dates, you will lose all money you have paid to that point. For this reason, we recommend that you purchase trip insurance. Please call 888-228-8008 before making a reservation if you have questions or concerns.

WHEN IS THE SECURITY DEPOSIT REFUNDED?

Security deposits are returned within 30 days of guest departure.

WHAT IS YOUR PET POLICY AND FEE?

Timber Hideaway is specified as "pet friendly" and dogs are allowed. Unfortunately, due to common allergy problems we cannot allow cats. For the privilege of bringing your dog, there is a minimum charge of $100 nonrefundable fee per pet. A maximum of two dogs are allowed unless you have received special permission from the property manager or homeowner. Any damage that may be caused by your pet during your stay will be paid for out of your security deposit or charged to the credit card we have on file. There is a county-wide leash law in place. When taking your dog outside of a gated area, please ensure that they are on a leash.

WHAT ARE CHECK-IN/CHECK OUT TIMES?

Check-in time is 4pm and check out time is 10am. It is important that we adhere to these times, because there is a chance that someone else will be checking out/in before or after you and we need sufficient time to ready the house for the next renter. If you wish to check-in early, there is a $50 early check-in fee that can be added on to your reservation. Early check-in is only available if someone is not checking out on the morning of your arrival.

WHERE DO WE CHECK-IN/PICK UP KEYS?

Timber Hideaway is located in a gated community. You must go to our Old Fort Office at 243 Catawba Ave S to pick up your gate card. Driving directions to our Old Fort Office, along with access instructions will be sent out via email. Once you have picked up your gate card, you can proceed to the house. Please do not rely on GPS. We will provide you with driving directions to Timber Hideaway from our Old Fort Office. 

Timber Hideaway has a keyless entry system. You will receive a unique access code within 3 days of your arrival.

WHAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY DURING OUR STAY?

If you are having a medical emergency, dial 911 from the phone in your rental home or cell phone.

We hope that your stay in the area will be relaxing and without incident, but should you need to get in touch with Greybeard, we have someone on call 24 hours a day. Just call our office at 828-669-1072 and select option 1, which will forward to the cell phone of the person on call. Please do not hesitate to call us if something needs immediate attention, but if your question or concern can wait, we ask that you call the office during normal office hours.

WILL THERE BE FIREWOOD AT THE HOUSE?

Timber Hideaway has a wood-burning fireplace and outdoor fire pit for guests to use. Firewood is not supplied by Greybeard. Some houses will have a small supply of firewood for renter use; however, it is best to purchase your own small bundle of wood or Duraflame pressed logs at the local grocery store. 

Cutting branches, limbs or trees on the property is strictly prohibited. You can use limbs found on the ground. Absolutely NO fires are permitted outside unless the property is fitted with a fire ring/fire pit. You cannot bring your own portable fire pit. 

IS WIFI SERVICE INCLUDED WITH MY RENTAL RESERVATION? WILL I HAVE CELL PHONE SERVICE AT MY RENTAL?

Wifi is available at Timber Hideaway. Please note that Greybeard Rentals does not guarantee internet connectivity or speed. Each individual homeowner contracts directly with an internet service provider, and due to a variety of reasons, Greybeard does not guarantee service. Our Black Mountain and Asheville offices have wifi service available if needed.

Cell phone service is not guaranteed. You may check with your service provider to see if service is available.
