Family Friendly Cabin @4400 Ft-Winter Wonderland

Our Wolf Laurel Cabin is the closest one to the Golf Club & only a short drive to the Amenities Club by the Gate. We are one of the few Hosts that offer a Free Temporary Membership ($250 value) to Both Clubs as well as No Pet Fee for your welcomed furry family member. More importantly, we are a Home away from Home (see Reviews). Stress just seems to jump off us as we drive through the gate. We have so many memories with our children & grands and they love the fact that it's only 200 paces to the WL Country Club (open May-Oct) and only a 50 minute drive to fun in Historic Asheville where you can check out The Biltmore, The Grove Park Inn/Spa and so many other great places (will send Albert Favorites)!

The WL Country Club offers a great golf course, casual & fine dining, wonderful Bar and Fitness Center. The Amenities Club down by the Gate offers a Heated Pool, Tennis & Pickle Ball Courts and a Fishing Pond. We will register your Family with each Club prior to your arrival which they require for admittance.
(NOTE: If you are renting at Wolf Laurel and want to use either Club make sure your Host has a Temporary Membership for you prior to arrival)

Despite being close to the club, we are secluded and love to hunker down on the outdoor porches, the fire pit or by the fireplace. During the Winter, we are one of the most accessible Cabins as all roads and the drive are paved and plowed after snow. Be aware Wolf Laurel Roads & Security "requires a 4wheel drive vehicle during hazardous weather".

The Exciting News is the Opening of the New Hatley Pointe Ski Resort within the Gates of Wolf Laurel located just beyond the Amenities Club and only an easy 5 minute drive from the Cabin. The new restaurant in the Lodge should be special.

Besides the normal stuff (golf, tennis, fitness center, pickle ball & pool), riding Mountain Trails from the WL Stables has been our favorite. We do venture outside the gate as there's so many great day trips (in addition to Asheville): Burnsville; Hot Springs; Little Switzerland (Blueridge Parkway) for lunch; and River Rafting. But the greatest amenity is beautiful Big Bald Mountain and the App Trail which is minutes away from the Cabin.

NOTE: The Amenities are open all year round. The Pool, Golf Course and Club Dining are open 5/1-10/30.

The Cabin:
On the main level, you walk into an all-white pine, vaulted ceiling open design that immediately ushers you into the mountain experience. Leather couches and chair around the fireplace is where most of the indoor relaxing is done except during March Madness when the guys camp out to watch the 60' Sony. The dining area is also beautifully furnished with two matching china cabinets and a large dining room table that seats 8-10. A fully equipped modern kitchen is bordered by a bar that seats 3 and large counter that seats 4 more. You've got nice china, serving dishes, wine glasses and cooking utensils that will accommodate a large & special dinner party. There is a powder room on the main level. A large Master is also on the main level. Elegant matching Pine Furniture and King Bed adds to the mountain flavor. My kids like to use the huge walkin closet for an extra crib or blowup bed for young children. The beautiful master bath has double sinks, a jacuzzi bath, shower and tile floor.

The lower level has two more large bedrooms with large closets. Both are beautifully furnished with queen beds. The rear bedroom also has wonderful bunk beds. A full bath is accessible to the bedrooms and den/playroom. The lower level has a computer center (with WiFi), a media center (TV/DVD/Games) with 2 couches (one a queen pullout) and a large round game table great for that late night poker game. Also on the lower level is full washer/dryer, downstair's refrigerator and all the fishing/camping and other sports equipment you'll need. You can also find a pack-n-play, highchair and stroller stored in the storage closet.

Huge porches run the full length of the upper and lower levels and provide a wonder view the 10th fairway and the mountains. On the upper porch are rocking chairs and a large teak table and seating that can accommodate 8-10 for covered outdoor dining. One other area we use a lot is the stone patio off the lower level which has a fire pit. Smores is a favorite for the grands.
