Lissie Wright’s Cabin, Est 1895. Scenic Creek, 7.5 Acres, 15 min to Downtwn AVL

Welcome to Lissie Wright’s Cabin... Due to the antique nature of this Log Cabin, we do not allow more than 4 people on the property FOR ANY REASON AT ANY TIME, including weddings, reunions, picnics etc.!!

Lissie Wright’s Cabin offers a "one of a kind" Asheville Vacation in a serene, private setting. The cabin was hand-built by Mr. Newton Wright & wife, Lissie in the late 1800's, using trees from the surrounding forest. Their efforts produced this Very charming home, (and property) which was completely Restored in 2010.

Husband, wife & 9 children worked their small farm from this 1 bedroom log home. Out-buildings & barns, (from the farm) remain intact & preserved . (Some buildings are not accessible but provide fantastic photos).

The cabin has been featured in local magazines,
national wedding publications, The Fairview Town Crier & The Asheville Citizen Times,
(chosen as Asheville's 'home of the week' July, 2012).

The Cabin features 1 bedroom (downstairs) with queen bed and a 2nd floor loft with 2 double beds.
*NOTE...Loft is up a rustic wood staircase, totally private, but not enclosed with a door. (Loft is the whole 2nd floor). (See photos of loft and living room for clarification).

Antique chandeliers, reclaimed White Pine floors & vintage furnishings provide authenticity... Top of the line double- pane, thermal windows, new kitchen, central a/c, and high speed internet make it comfortably-modern year around.

Absolutely perfect 'romantic retreat' for a couple, a family, or a small group of friends. Very easy drive to all area attractions... 11 miles (15 minutes) to Asheville & Biltmore House, 15 miles (25 minutes) to Lake Lure & Chimney Rock,
17 miles (25 minutes) to Black Mountain.

Relax on the leather sofa in front of a wood stove fireplace as you enjoy the ambience of this hand- hewn, (solid white oak), log home. Wright's Cabin features a cozy country kitchen & modernized bathroom. The kitchen features granite counter tops & 1940's era crystal chandeliers. Dining nook was hand-made from 1850's Tennessee church pews.

Outside, (WATCH VIDEO), take a stroll along 800+ feet of Trantham Creek, ( The creek can be heard from the entire property). Walk in the adjoining 3 acre field to enjoy a mountain view, or hike the additional 4.5 acre slopes behind the cabin, (our property extends all the way to the next street above). At night, gaze at the stars from the field or toast marshmallows on the outdoor fireplace. There are a few antique out-buildings, including a wagon barn that has been converted into a creek-side entertainment pavilion. There is a historic double crib barn featuring full dove- tail cornering. This bldg provides GREAT photo-ops, (please do not explore it's interior).

The Cabin is Close to everything...

Asheville, Chimney Rock, Black Mountain & Lake Lure.

Wright's Cabin is located very close to the heart of Downtown Asheville, (15 minute drive). Asheville and the surrounding area offers something for everyone, be it dining, music, shopping, golfing, museums, or hiking. This cabin is located just 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy a hike or a refreshing drive to an overlook. Come enjoy this conveniently located historic cabin for a memorable vacation.

Great getaway!
This cabin is a step back in time; except for all the conveniences. We relished our stay with coffee on the front porch, sleeping with open windows and the sound of the creek, easy access to the Blue Ridge Pkwy, hiking, and Asheville. A lovely time in a lovely cabin in the woods. Also, an excellent and responsive host.

Perfect Spot - Will Return
Our stay was exceptional. The cabin is straight out of a hallmark movie. We were worried about getting Ubers to downtown Asheville as we do not like driving the mountain roads at night and had absolutely no issues. About 18 min to downtown. Spotless. The house manager was in constant communication, and I have no doubt she would have fixed anything we needed but there wasn't a thing out of place. Coziest, mountain chic style with every amenity you could need and we are quite picky. Traveled with 11 year old son and husband. Quiet neighborhood. We were on bear watch as I was dying to see Mr. Bear but he never appeared for us. Would absolutely recommend and stay again.

A true GEM of a property!
My husband and I stayed here for a little weekend getaway celebrating our anniversary. It was so peaceful and lovely; just what we needed to escape our busy day to day lives. It is conveniently located to almost anything you’d want to do but the property is just so calming we preferred to relax and enjoy meals there. We can’t wait to come back!

Love the cabin life
It was really wonderful to stay in a historic cabin, especially after touring the Biltmore Mansion. The wood burning stove made the cabin stay all the more nostalgic. The crowning moment was when a black bear walked by the the window facing the out door fire pit.
