Welcome to the top of the world at The Knob! Start your Asheville adventure with a beautiful drive up the mountain. This newly constructed modern cabin offers absolute privacy and panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Craggy Gardens from the spacious back deck and hot tub. The finer features of this custom-built home stand out, such as vaulted ceilings that perfectly bring light into the great room during the day. Preparing meals for the whole group comes easy in the fully equipped kitchen. In the evening, gather around the gas stove for conversation and relaxation. Group features include a large gathering area with a TV in the loft for movie-watching. Everyone will want to pull up a chair out on the deck and stay a while. The fresh mountain breeze is filled with the sounds of nature, and you won't believe how bright the stars are at night, especially when you're enjoying a soak in the bubbly hot tub. Nature lovers take note: there are community trails for hiking nearby, including a 1.5-mile trail to the summit of Watch Knob. Plus, your dog can come hiking with you since The Knob is pet-friendly.
