This is a private three-level cabin where you can finally take that much-needed break. Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up to frosted Blue Ridge Mountain views from your window, pour a hot cup of coffee, and just bundle up on the couch?

Inside, you can cozy up and chat by the fireplace, sit back and relax in the jetted tub, or play air-hockey with the kids. This cabin is yours to enjoy – stress-free.

The wood interior and beautiful décor will make you feel right at home. The kitchen is fully-stocked, ready for home-cooked meals. Plus, the game room and outdoor spaces are great for relaxing, catching up, and just taking in the views.

The Appalachian Dream Cabin is just a few minutes from downtown Marion. It’s a quiet town where you'll find amazing local restaurants, wineries, coffee shops, and more — or you can take a scenic drive to nearby antique stores, snow tubing at Hawk’s Nest, and amazing mountain overlooks with snowy peaks.

Between the breathtaking views and the overall quiet nature of this cabin, over 200 guests have left here feeling refreshed and completely satisfied.

Now this moment belongs to you.

These winter months fill up pretty quick, and for good reason. It has the peace, the quiet, the mountain views—and it’s all here for you.

We found the cabin clean with ample and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked. The setting and views are very nice. Great sunsets. A great place to rest and relax for a team of six men doing Hurricane Helene recovery volunteer work.

The house and our stay were both amazing! This was such a relaxing place to stay with our two families, both with young children, age 2-4. We got to enjoy the mountain views directly from the main living area as we cooked and relaxed in the main living area. Everything was very clean and the host provided extremely clear information about the home and the surrounding area. Overall excellent weekend!

Dream Cabin

We have now visited this amazing place six times now, and for good reason. We all love coming here for the views, the fire pit, the seclusion, the thoughtful touches, and of course, the air hockey. The owner does a phenomenal job of upkeep and upgrades. The cabin itself is our dream cabin (maybe someday!), with the perfect layout, and perfect view. I personally just sit and stare, which is rare for me, but I just want to take it in. The cabin is a short distance to great restaurants & desserts, and of course hiking. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Amazing time!

This cabin was absolutely breathtaking, and the views were even more breathtaking. The cabin was so clean, and had all the necessities in the kitchen and even for the wonderful grill outside. There was plenty of firewood available for the beautiful firepit outside. Any questions were very quickly answered by the owner. My family and I had the best time staying in this cabin. We will definitely be back!

The stay was absolutely perfect. We had stayed here for a weekend fire school in McDowell County. This property was great for all members to come back, relax, enjoy the views and reflect on the day members had at class. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone.
