Experience your next mountain vacation in this Historic Turn-of-the-Century Real Log Cabin. Imagine yourself in this authentic 1928 Log Cabin surrounded by vintage Smokey Mountain antiques that decorate the cabin. Built in 1928 and completely renovated in 2015. We were able to restore the original luster of the hand hewed log walls and stone fireplace, and then we added just a few modern conveniences. We completely remodeled the kitchen and the new bathroom features an amazing stone shower. A new queen size bed and new pillow top mattress will ensure a perfectly comfortable stay.

Hickory Nut Lodge is located in a historic mountain community. This cabin is not secluded - it's in a mountain community. Built in 1928, Hickory Nut Lodge has a rich history, full of spicy folklore that we would love to share with you. Conveniently located 15 miles from Asheville and 8 miles from Chimney Rock & Lake Lure. This historic log cabin is perfect for those who want to be in the mountains but close enough to Asheville to enjoy all that the city has to offer.

Take in the view of Little Pisgah Mountain from your front porch rocking chair. Enjoy romantic barbecues on the deck or relax under the stars in your own private hot tub. If you’re looking for a Romantic get away, this authentic 1928 log cabin is just the place! Hickory Nut Lodge is everything you come to Asheville for and it will definitely surpass your wildest expectations and of course pets are always welcome.

My Wife and I really enjoyed our stay here, this little ole cabin up in Gerton was cozy and warm. The fireplace gives it life. Fantastic place to come and reset, relax, and read your favorite book. Bring your dog! Our dog had a blast with the walks and hikes near by! With Chimney Rock and Bearwallow, you won’t miss out on the amazing views. Bat Cave has some awesome people and food! Get to know the people, they are humble and kind, always sharing their lives and expertise. And when you are exhausted from a beautiful day, you always have that cozy cabin to come back to! We loved every second of it! Thank you for the stay and we will definitely be back!

The cabin was the perfect combination of rustic cabin and modern upgrades/conveniences. Less than 20 minutes down to Chimney Rock. We can’t rave enough about the Far Nectar venue nearby and the coffee shop right by the house. We will definitely be coming back!

Cabin rental

The road to the cabin had been washed out so we could not get to it. The host offered to let us stay at another cabin they had which was unrented. We just paid more for cleaning and stayed there. The cabin was well supplied with everything you need. We loved it and really enjoyed staying there. We hope to stay there again sometime in the future.

Had a very enjoyable stay. A little farther from Asheville due to windy mountain roads than what we wanted but we made it work. We kinda stumbled upon the Chimney Rock downtown area and had a great afternoon exploring there as well. Overall we loved the cabin, the amenities but parking needs a little work, we were warned it was tricky so it wasn’t a surprise when we first got there and almost got stuck. I’d stay here again when we want to hike!!

Perfect for a Romantic Getaway

We had a great time at the adorable little cabin in the mountains! It was perfect for a romantic anniversary getaway. It’s small, but very thoughtfully done and was just the right size for the two of us. It would have been a bit cramped for more than two, but was exactly what we were looking for. We loved sitting out on the deck and enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. The parking spot in front was pretty intimidating for me to navigate, so I made my husband do it each day! :). We had a great time and loved our pick for this trip!

Peaceful getaway

The cottage is rustic and adorable. Peaceful, private and has everything you need. Perfect location easy to get to all attractions and tourist destinations. It gets pitch black at night so be home before dark. Only downside is parking is very tricky owner should remove the ugly useless shrubs in front up open up the space to make parking easier. Car or small suv is recommended pickup is difficult. I loved the quaint, cozy, rustic charm

Relaxing anniversary

Listing is accurate with all around rustic feel. Reviews are accurate about parking however property just past is for sale so no big deal to block the shared gravel drive. We enjoyed our stay for certain but it’s priced high for what it is. Some general cleaning and maintenance needs to be done. Appeared as if nobody had been there in a while. We sipped coffee by the fire while building a puzzle and we’re greeted with snow that we enjoyed from the hot tub.

Mountain Getaway

The parking space is VERY small. We drove our Nissan Rogue and it fit, but anything larger and the car would have been sticking out in the road. Thankfully it’s a small gravel street with no traffic. Property appeared to have been empty for a while. Cobwebs throughout house, some spiders noticeable. A soft spot in the kitchen floor. Made contact with property owner and she was quick to respond. Had her property management team drop off some bug spray. Hot tub smelled clean but had many floating particles in it. Overall an ok stay. House is old, and could use some upkeep. Beautiful area.

Cabin stay

Our four night stay at the cabin in Gerton, NC was average at best. The cabin could use a good deep cleaning inside and out. The steps need to be pressure washed. They were very slick and could cause a fall if not careful. The previous house guest must have had a dog with them, as there was dog hair on the comforter. One of the smoke alarms in the bedroom kept chirping due to a bad battery. Also the DISH remote would not work. Like some other reviews, I found the driveway to be sketchy at times trying to park and leave the cabin. You must back all the way down the drive to leave the property. Probably will not stay at this cabin again.

Not as described

Property is not as decribed by host. The cabin is not secluded nor romantic. The parking is awful, especially for a truck. A head up would have been nice. Front door is not very secure, very bad lighting out front that barely reaches your vehicle. Bed is extremely squeaky and the matress saggy. Quite a few cobwebs and the floor has multiple soft/sinking spots. Also, you cannot cover all windows; may not be a big deal to you, but it was to us for our honeymoon. Our clothes and bags had a distinct odor after staying 4 nights. Not a pleasant experience.

Not for immobile people

The access road to the cabin is a very narrow dirt/gravel road barely passable for one car. One parking area in front does not allow room for another car to pass. The hot tub had mold on the cover and exterior surface leaving us skeptical about using it. The tub is positioned at the top of the steep stairs leading up to the cabin. The chance of getting out of the tub and falling down the stairs is a risk. Overgrown trees and bushes obscured the view. Most of the lights on the porch were burned out, electrical outlets were dangerously overloaded and close to the hot tub. At the price point we paid, including fees for cleaning we expected more. I would not recommend this cabin to anyone. I can't imagine getting a car up the incline in the winter. This cabin needs some TLC.
