Amazing house for a large group of friends or family

The details and photos hardly do this amazing place justice. Everything is spacious but still warm and comfortable. It was such a pleasure to be here.

Perfect for a large group

We have a large group that comes to Asheville every year to check out the brewery scene. The Wayward Moose Inn was perfect for us. The property was plenty big enough for the whole group and having the ability to schedule a shuttle ride to downtown was an added bonus. We’ll definitely be looking to stay here when we come back.

We (8 friends) had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous home. The property is beautifully designed, with comfortable furnishings, and loads of amenities—a great place to relax and recharge. The kitchen was well-equipped, making meals easy, and the entire home felt thoughtfully maintained.The setting is equally impressive: stunning views, a relatively short commute to downtown Asheville, and unbeatable access to hiking trails—including one leading to an overlook—as well as a 45-minute hike to the impressive Folk Art Center and other local highlights. We loved being able to step outside and be immersed in nature so quickly.One note for future guests: the road leading up to the lodge is steep, so you may want to avoid bringing a car with a low chassis.All in all, this home exceeded our expectations and made our Asheville visit truly special!

Wonderful property for a large family gathering.

This was a great place for the whole family to have fun and share wonderful experiences. The access road could be a little dicey during a heavy rain but we were able to get around OK.

Great stay for large groups!

We hosted a family reunion here - 20 of us from all over the world. The lodge was well appointed and set up for a group of our size. Gorgeous views, great location, well equipped and responsive owner. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, plus multiple dishwashers and refrigerators. Would stay here again - highly recommend!

Wonderful Option for Family Vacations/Reunions

A wonderful option for a large family getaway. Convenient to downtown Asheville, numerous state and national parks, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore Estate, a small zoo, numerous breweries, and so much more. All bedrooms have an en suite bathroom, which worked out wonderful for us. Great communications with the owner, would absolutely consider coming here again.

Spacious and comfy

This is a really great place for a big family get together. We had 14 people stay here, and it was very comfortable. It was great that there were so many bathrooms. The views are amazing, and we really enjoyed the hiking trail above the house. The kitchen was nice, with very good appliances.

Beautiful property, amazing house

This is probably the nicest rental property I’ve ever stayed in. The views were amazing, every room is spacious and has a bathroom. Highly recommend this place. Be aware that the house is at the top of a mountain on an unpaved road, so make sure you have a vehicle that can handle that. Simms and Hunter were both great and Hunter gave us a ride to and from downtown Asheville.

Fantastic property in a great location.

The property is just as advertised. Beautiful and spacious with great views. Kitchen is well stocked and the ping pong table was well used. We even saw two bears passing through. Highly recommend the van service (the last mile is no fun in the dark) driver was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable you can just text the number and they will get immediately contact you.

Family reunion

I have eight siblings and their spouses. We used this Vrbo for our family reunion. This moose lodge was wonderful! Each of my siblings had their own bedroom and bathroom, which was very nice. The common areas were super! We had a wonderful time! The views, and the shuttle to various venues we wanted to go to was an added plus. I highly recommend this place.

Mountaintop Getaway

We could have spent all our time on the porch enjoying the unobstructed stunning view of the mountains, but with the services of the van at our disposal we felt compelled to do some exploring. Our hosts were great at suggesting activities and restaurants, which was much appreciated. The lodge was perfect for our group of friends, and had everything we could need or want. The trip up and down the mountain kept us on our toes, but is well worth it!

The perfect wedding weekend

Wow, what a great stay. We had a small elopement with family and needed a large cabin for the weekend. This cabin is beautifully built, has everything you need for a large gathering of people, and gorgeous views. Simms was very communicative and ensured that everything was perfect for us. We also loved being able to use the shuttle and firewood service. You should definitely stay here!

Multi generational thanksgiving!

We chose Asheville as a meeting point between family in Atlanta and family in Pennsylvania, and it’s a beautiful city! The house served us really well (11 adults and 6 kiddos) and everyone had room to spread out or hang out together. The kitchen is very well appointed, which was wonderful because we made a huge thanksgiving dinner! We highly recommend this property! And the owner was very responsive when we had a couple of questions. Two thumbs up!!

Thanksgiving at the Moose

We celebrated Thanksgiving 2023 here. The e worked well with 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers, and a lot of counter space. The trash system was set up well. All good for a big group!! We enjoyed the nearby hiking trails. The owner was quick to answer questions. He seems to be a nice person who wants his guests to enjoy the property.

Awesome Get Together Week

We were a group of old high school friends celebrating our 70th birthday together. Staying at this VRBO was more than we could have hoped for! Everyone had their own private room and bathroom, and yet we were together. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with two dishwashers two refrigerators and an awesome gas stove. Both homes were very clean and tidy, The beds were comfortable. The view from the front porch was absolutely stunning. If there is ever a need for a large group of us to get together again, we would certainly consider Staying here again.

Family birthday and Christmas gathering

Beautiful setting, very spacious lodge with plenty of privacy and room to congregate. The gravel road up the mountain is pretty long, but once you've made it up the hill it's worth it. The two buildings are next to the Mountains to Sea Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the proximity to Asheville was good. We didn't opt for the transportation that is available, but that is a unique option you don't see often. This property worked out very well for our family.

Ladies Vibe Tribe Getaway

We were a group of 10 women gathering for a friends getaway. The Inn was comfortable, spacious, private and easily accomodated our entire party. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the ping pong table was an added bonus. The beds were very comfortable. Also, the roundtrip transportation offered, for a fee, gave us peace of mind after dark, as the Inn is situated high up a mountainside - plus, we could indulge in a beverage or two; giving a shoutout to Audrey, our driver! The property manager was easily accessible and quickly responded to all inquiries. We would recommend a stay here and look forward to returning on our next trip to Asheville.

Reunion

We are a group of high school friends that have been traveling together once a year for years. (We graduated in 1965!) We’ve been all over the country, staying in all kinds of hotels and houses. This was perfect now at our ages, because we each got our own bedroom and bathroom! The house was beautiful and the views fantastic! The road up to the house was a little scary at first but manageable. We toured beautiful Asheville during the day and ate in each evening. The kitchen had all we needed. We all would definitely recommend this house for families or big groups of friends!

Great for a family reunion!

The drive up to the house is what I would expect here in the mountains. An adventure at first. We all loved the lodge. It had ample room for my extended family of 20+: room to gather, room to eat, room to find a space to be alone. Having 8 bedrooms, each with a nice bathroom was really a game changer and very much appreciated by my adult relatives. The kitchen is well-stocked and everything would have been perfect if the built-in fridge had been working. We needed instructions for the Bunn coffeemaker, but we eventually figured it out. The deck was a wonderful place to enjoy the mountain views.

Spacious, well-appointed and comfortable lodge for a big group

Big, modern lodge on the fringe of east Asheville. Eight comfortable bedrooms (4 in the adjacent guest house) with a large common Great Room for 16 friends to meet, converse, play games, or watch football on the satellite TV. Kitchen is very well equipped and clean, two dishwashers, ample oven space, Bunn coffee maker with air pod carafes -- basically everything a big group needs to be comforable. The lodge is a 5-minute walk to the Mountains to Sea Trail adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway, but only 5-10 minutes to drive to the grocery store and 5-10 more to the middle of Asheville. Even though we were toasty warm in 30 degree weather, the south facing deck was inviting with its rocking chairs and views of the Riceville Valley and south mountains. The single track road to get up the mountain is well maintained and there are numerous pulloffs -- the two Priuses in our group made it wthout issues. Simms was a terriific host, always available to us by text, even on the holiday. No surprise this place is heavily booked.

A nice family Thanksgiving

Overall, we had a great trip. There was nothing that lessened the enjoyment we had together as a family. However, there were a few things that may be normal in a mountain log cabin, but perhaps could be upgraded. There were a lot of stairs into the house and guest house and only one bedroom on the main floor of main house so seniors had a harder time of it. Cleaning was hit and miss. Large cobwebs in places in the house, large soaking tubs in guest house were dirty. Some things did not work properly - upstairs bath had faulty toilet so we had to jiggle the handle after each flush. That bathroom is also carpeted which was different. The main house primary bedroom door got stuck so we had to climb through an open window to open it from the inside. There were a lot of wasps in guest house. Views were beautiful, house was large enough to accommodate 14 people and baby, kitchen was well-stocked to cook a Thanksgiving meal. Overall, we had a very good time.

Mountain Escape

Every summer our family does a family vacation. We need space and bedrooms to accommodate all 17 of us. This year we chose Asheville and this particular cabin. Some of us loved being at the top of the mountain on the gravel road others would have preferred not having the very short drive back and forth. The cabin was spacious and met our needs. We especially enjoyed the high quality appliances and made use of them daily as we chose to cook most meals rather than eating out. The kitchen is well stocked. The master bedroom in the main house is BIG and the bed was comfortable. The children enjoyed ping pong and catching fire flies and smores on the fire pit. On a couple of concerns to mention. There are a few loose boards on the decks with nails or screws being a hazard. We had some bees in the guest house that we bombed while we were there. Road is very dusty.,,,I promise you will need a car wash or two when you leave. Overall not enough to keep us from enjoying our trip or considering not renting again. The bear sightings and deer was a bonus as well as the wrap around deck. Views of mountains are spectacular! Great vacation for our family
