Gorgeous view!

The cabin was nice, and the view worth the drive up the mountain. Very comfortable and we had a good week, Biltmore Christmas, a visit to favorite restaurant Esmeralda at Lake Lure, and topped it off with a visit to Hillman's in Old Fort. Would recommend it.

Breathtaking views from Cozy Cool View

We adored our stay in this well equipped, comfortable cabin. The views could not be beat and it was quiet and private. Asheville, Blue Ridge Pkwy, Chimney Rock and other area attractions are a short trip away. Grey beard was easy to work with and very accommodating. Our family highly recommends Cool View Cabin!
