“The Summit Cabin” <br>An Off the Grid Hideaway
The Summit Cabin was originally built as a high altitude logging and nature and hunting retreat. While completely “Off the Grid” it is accessible by a moderate+ hike of about 15 +/- minutes from the main road at the Sawmill. Up to two cars can be parked there in privacy and safety. The lower main room has a full size futon, a living/dining/kitchen area. The bathroom with shower, sink and composting toilet are in an adjoining room. A small solar system provides 12V DC and limited 110V AC power. Outside is a grill, a fire pit and camp area. The entire space is available to select nature and outdoor enthusiasts. Again to point out this space is totally off the grid. While it has everything to be comfortable it is on a rugged mountain out in the woods. Guests have access to vast mountain area. There is a private trail leading into the Pisgah National Forrest. The plateau where the cabin is located is very flat and cleared, about 1/2 ace in size. Ideal build a campfire, watch a variety of wildlife and do some incredible star gazing at night. Pets are allowed - just make sure they don’t get lost - it is a huge, untouched area. Phone service is excellent up there and internet can be made available. Once you decide on that space I will give you personalized guidance for safety and comfort. Other things to note Parking will be at the main road by the Sawmill. The moderate hike up will take about 15 +/- minutes. Solid hiking boots, walking stick’s are a highly recommended. The trails are not marked. My self and “Betsy” my Honda UTV (which made it possible to build this place) will bring your supplies up at the beginning of your stay, and back down at the end of your stay (weather permitting). One should be in decent shape to get safely up and down this hill side.

The cabin was perfect for our anniversary getaway! Great views, secluded, clean, and an excellent host. We enjoyed relaxing by the firepit and taking in the view, hikes, Hans the host… everything!
As said, off grid, total privacy, nature all around. The hike to the cabin is not something you want to do more than twice a day at 65 yrs old however the 7 year old grandsons ran up.
Hans is an excellent host. The cabin is tucked away with a beautiful view of the mountains and access to hiking trails. If you’re looking for an adventure you can find it here.
This property made for an extremely enjoyable and memorable experience. The secluded location was awesome, and very close to a variety of trails and swimming holes. Hans was great and very helpful. Highly recommend this experience!
It was definitely a unique experience of the outdoors, hospitality was great, and had a great view of the nearby moutains and woodlands. The hike to the cabin was 10-15 and pretty steep at some parts, so definitely save some energy to hike back. All in all was great, not too far from asheville or the places i wanted to hike.
Gorgeous view, isolated, private, close to trails, clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated with everything you could need... yet all delivered while still maintaining that charming rustic feel. Hans is a very friendly & interesting man and we only wish we had more time to get to know him better. Next time!
Oh, and look out for the two mystical black creatures that can be found at the loading area... Oh so charming and I believe they also grant wishes if they find you deserving when they look into your soul. It was difficult to resist our desire to take them home with us, but they are exactly where they belong. Thank you for everything Hans! You're wonderful!
Sincerely,
Darlin Queen #2 and Corey
