About this property

Peaceful Blue Ridge Mountain Retreat Near Marion, NC

  • Welcome to your private mountain retreat!

    Nestled on 2.5 wooded acres in the gated community of Grandview Peaks, this immaculate two-bedroom, two-bath cabin offers the peace, privacy, and comfort you've been looking for. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you'll enjoy the sounds of nature instead of traffic, making it the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and unwind.

    Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a weekend with friends, this cozy mountain cabin has everything you need. Sip your morning coffee on the covered front porch while listening to the birds, enjoy dinner on the spacious deck with the electric grill and seating for six, then gather around the fire pit in the evening to roast marshmallows and make s'mores under the stars.

    Families especially love the large backyard, which is perfect for kickball, cornhole, lawn games, or simply letting the kids run and play. Since this is the only home on the cul-de-sac, children can ride their bikes with very little traffic to worry about.

    As our guest, you'll also enjoy the wonderful amenities of Grandview Peaks, including a scenic mountain lake with a swimming beach, fishing dock, beautiful waterfall, and miles of hiking trails just waiting to be explored.

    Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen that's stocked with everything needed to prepare family favorites, bake a birthday cake, or simmer a pot of stew after a day of exploring the mountains. The comfortable living room features a cozy gas fireplace for chilly evenings, while mini-splits in each bedroom provide heat and air conditioning for a great night's sleep.

    Sleeping arrangements include:

    Primary bedroom with a queen bed and private en suite bathroom
    First-floor guest bedroom with two twin beds
    Upstairs loft with a twin trundle bed

    Traveling with little ones? We've made that easier, too, with a Pack 'n Play, high chair, and baby gate available for your use.

    The cabin is ideally located for exploring western North Carolina. Historic Marion is just 20 minutes away and hosts festivals and community events throughout much of the year. Outdoor adventures are all within easy driving distance, including Lake James, Catawba Falls, the Thermal Belt Rail Trail, Pisgah National Forest, Mount Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain, and the magnificent Biltmore Estate in Asheville. Whether you're hiking, biking, boating, sightseeing, or simply relaxing, you'll find something for every member of the family.

    Come experience the quiet beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where peaceful mornings, star-filled nights, and unforgettable memories are waiting.

    NO PETS ALLOWED.

The property was great and in a great location. There were LOTS of extras added including snacks, laundry detergent and sheets, and more than enough charging ports for our electronics. There is not much there for shopping or eating (closest is over 20 minutes away), so plan accordingly. We loved the place

Loved this place, we will be back. It’s such a pretty, quiet area and you feel like you’re away from the business of life but not far from some really great places. Thank you for the restful space we needed.

The cabin was easy to access in a gated community. Tucked away with only trees surrounding made for the cozy cabin vibe we hoped for. It was clean and tidy with everything you need clearly labeled for convenience (absolutely love this!). Marie did an excellent job and listing things to do and where to eat in the area. We ate at J. Hartman's (dinner) and Heifer's (breakfast) and highly recommend both. Marion main street is charming with great shops. We recommend stopping into Refinery 13 for a pint! Nearly everything about our stay was great but the beds could use a mattress upgrade for a more comfortable night's sleep. Overall, we would recommend staying at Marie's place if you're looking for a mountain getaway!

A Perfect Place to Celebrate and Unwind This was our fifth stay at this incredible property in Nebo, and once again, it exceeded every expectation. We celebrated my 65th birthday here with dear friends, and it was the perfect setting for relaxing, reconnecting, and making lasting memories.The home is always spotless and welcoming, with thoughtful touches that make you feel instantly at ease. We loved starting our mornings with peaceful strolls around the private lake and hiking the secluded trail to the waterfall—such a hidden gem. Evenings were magical, gathered around the backyard fire pit sharing stories and laughter, followed by quiet moments on the front porch rocking chairs under the stars.This place has become a tradition for us, and it continues to be the ideal retreat. Grateful for another unforgettable stay!

Absolutely amazing! Perfect space for Thanksgiving. Fit six people comfortably. Quiet. A huge plus is the fully stocked kitchen. I was worried that cooking an entire Thanksgiving meal would be a challenge due to limited supplies. I was extremely surprised that the kitchen had everything needed from a colander to seasonings that we forgot. There were even blueberries that we used to make a delicious homemade blueberry pie. The owner was extremely nice in her messages. But the best part of this trip was a book that I had been listening to on audible but stopped before finishing it was in the cabin. I began reading it the first night and was inspired to action!! I think this trip was a God Wink! Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality, generosity and inspiration!!
We cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal including a Turkey.

A Hidden Gem for the Perfect Getaway!

This visit was an opportunity to share with friends one of our favorite places to stay. Each time we arrive it is like a whole new experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into a beautifully serene setting that felt like a world away from the hustle and bustle. The quaint atmosphere, combined with breathtaking surroundings, made for an unforgettable experience, once again!The accommodations are always cozy and thoughtfully designed, offering the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort. Every detail is carefully curated, adding to the overall warmth of the place. Whether enjoying morning coffee on the porch, or taking in the quiet evenings, it felt like time slowed down just for us. The darkness is also very peaceful with no light pollution whatsoever.. nothing like it.One of the highlights was the peaceful setting- ideal for reconnecting with nature and truly unwinding. We always leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and are already planning our next visit. If you're looking for a beautiful escape filled with tranquility and charm, this is the perfect spot!

2nd time is a charm - yet again!

My wife, daughter and I stayed at Marie's place during the summer of 2021 and thoroughly enjoyed (prior review posted). My wife & I were looking to visit the mountains of NC and see the fall colors and luckily Marie's place was available yet again. We love everything about this house and the neighborhood of Grandview Peaks. The house is spotless inside and the kitchen is fully stocked with all of your basics. We spent one day heading near Hendersonville/Ashville and the other day heading up to Boone. Marie is an awesome host and always responsive. I remember her daily rate for this home being very reasonable back in 2021 and it was again this time - which I greatly appreciate. It is definitely a great value for the money and I would recommend Marie's home to anyone looking to get away to the mountains of NC, to stay in a beautiful and to stay in a great community. Thanks Marie...we might just be back a 3rd time in the future OR purchase a property in GVP ourselves someday!

This rental was absolutely perfect. It is probably the CLEANEST renal we have EVER stayed at! The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and even had spices we forgot to bring. We could tell the owners put a lot of thought into this home. There were conversation-starter cards that we did with our kids every night at dinner—and they loved it. There was even a cozy robe, and my kids felt so fancy getting into it after their showers.Just a heads up for winter guests—there’s no central heating system, but the mini-splits in the bedrooms and the gas fireplace kept the house warm and comfortable since it’s a small space.We also loved that it was the only house at the top of the hill, giving us a secluded and private feel. We took a nature walk behind the house and the kids really enjoyed exploring. There were chargers everywhere you’d naturally want to plug in a phone, which was super convenient.The only thing worth noting is that the beds were pretty noisy and very firm. I’m used to softer mattresses, but I know some people prefer firm, so that’s just personal preference. There were plenty of blankets and extra pillows, and the pillows themselves were very comfortable.Overall, we had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend this home.

Everything was clean and cute and cozy. The games supplied were a nice treat for when it rained. Swimming at the lake was perfect! I appreciated the map to the lake and the waterfall. My only complaint was that I didn’t know it was 1.5 mile hike to the waterfall. We all wore sandals and swimsuits because we were going to splash in the falls and then go to the lake. But it actually was a really nice gravel hike with cute places to sit along the way. Everything was so wonderful for our family vacation! Thank you!
