Description Description
Searching for a hot tub with a mountain view and a modern, clean home? You've found your dream getaway at Toe River Retreat! This well-appointed vacation rental boasts hiking trails out your door and easy access to mountain adventures.

The view is itself a reason to spend your vacation at Toe River Retreat. Watch all day from the shady-covered deck as the clouds dance over the mountain peaks on the horizon. You'll find yourself rushing home from the day's adventures so you won't miss the spectacular sunsets! Toe River Retreat offers comfortable one-level living centered around light-filled gathering and dining areas. Enjoy the primary suite with a spacious bathroom and private deck access. Gather in the converted garage for game night with a ping-pong table, a foosball table, corn hole, a dart board, and an arcade game with dozens of options. The kids can be entertained for hours, even on a rainy day! Perhaps the best part of Toe River Retreat is that half of the expansive deck is covered for year-round, all-weather family fun. In the evening, sit back and watch the stars -- this is actually one of the darkest spots on the East Coast. Leave your worries behind and discover the peaceful tranquility of Toe River Retreat!

Location Details
While Toe River Retreat feels like it's a world away from everything, the property is just 15 minutes from Burnsville, a busy mountain town with plenty of shopping and dining options. From Burnsville, it's a smooth commute to I-26 and Asheville attractions. Just across the river sits the Bare Dark Sky Observatory, open to the public for 360-degree views through custom-built telescopes at one of the best places in the world to stargaze. Outdoor activities in the area are abundant, including whitewater rafting, kayaking, fly fishing, and hiking trails. Take an inner tube ride down the river, go gem mining at Emerald Village (17 min.), or in the winter, skiing and snow tubing at Wolf Ridge Ski Resort is less than an hour away. This Asheville vacation rental is located in Bakersville and is approximately 49 minutes to downtown Asheville; all at 2822 ft above sea level.

I would quickly come back here!
We chose to stay at the Toe River Retreat based upon the views and outdoor space, beautiful interior, and cool garage rec space...and it did not disappoint! When we arrived the interior was every bit as welcoming as it looked in the pictures, and it was very clean and the furniture was very comfortable. However, we did not stay inside much because the outdoor space was awesome and the views were amazing and ever-changing. It was the first place I went to when I woke up and after each day's adventure, I quickly returned. The garage rec room was very cool. If you like that kind of thing (which I do), a lot of time can be spent there (and was). We brought a small smart TV to catch some Olympics while there which worked great! The place is fairly remote which equates to peaceful and quiet!!! There are 3 towns within a 20-minute drive which gives a lot of options for short trips. Within about an hour's drive, we went paddleboarding/kayaking, river tubing, Mt. Mitchell, disc golfing, Asheville, and even a highland cow farm. I would quickly come back here!

Very easy check-in and check-out process.
Very easy check-in and check-out process. The views were spectacular. Very nice upgrades throughout the house which made our family feel right at home. Our children loved the hot tub and game area. It was a wonderful place to retreat to in the evening after our all-day-long activities. The proximity of the grocery store was very nice too. I would recommend renting from Carolina Mornings to friends and family in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay!

This was a wonderful place to stay.
This was a wonderful place to stay. The views were beautiful. It was nice coming back to this property each night and enjoying the hot tub, views, and games in the garage. This was a nice location for all the primary places we hiked! We had everything we needed, and the response time to our questions was immediately answered. Highly recommend this place! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

I enjoyed my stay here & would highly recommend giving it a try!
I enjoyed my stay here & would highly recommend giving it a try! There's easy access with plenty of parking & the mountain views are beautiful.!This house has been completely updated & has all new furnishings with super comfortable beds & couches. I think the best part was the oversized hot tub on the huge back porch that's available year-round! BTW if you have kids or you're a kid at heart you're going to love the 2-car garage that's been converted to an awesome game room. I could go on & on & I'd give this place ten stars if I could but, if you're in the area you should stay here! You won't be disappointed!

This is an incredibly serene and gorgeous location.
The view of Mount Mitchell cannot be beat. So beautiful! It was very hard to leave. This is an incredibly serene and gorgeous location, close to the lovely town of Burnsville, artists’ galleries, the Parkway, the Toe River, and lots of hiking trails. Cannot wait to return.

Views for miles
We had such a great time here. The views of the Black Mountains are spectacular from the back porch. I recommend bringing binoculars to view all the wildlife that can be seen on distant hillside glens and pastures. I've stayed in many cabins and this one is by far equipped with the best game room, although it being in the garage made for some chilly ping pong matches in November. There isn't much touristy stuff to do nearby but Asheville and Banner Elk are both less than an hour away. We enjoyed the peace and seclusion and would book here again without hesitation.

Very well stocked kitchen for lots of family dinners.
Beautiful cabin and views!! Very well stocked kitchen for lots of family dinners. Cards at night on covered porch while it rained, followed by some relaxation in the hot top. Amenities for everyone in the family. Game room was a hit with the boys. Lots of hiking and river access near by.

This is The Perfect Mountain Getaway!
This is the perfect mountain getaway! My family and I enjoy heading up from the city to enjoy all of the outdoor adventures. This cabin is friendly during all seasons throughout the year, during spring & summer we enjoy hiking, tubing down the river, amazing restaurants rope courses, the zoo and other fun attractions. During Fall, your enjoying the leaves changing colors with breathtaking views. In the winter, you are a short trip away to winter activities such as skiing, snowboarding and tubing. The property is very clean, comfortable, with beautiful amenities. The property is located outside of Asheville centrally located from everything but remote enough to feel like you are in the mountains. If you are staying multiple days I would recommend going grocery shopping. I would highly recommend this stay to friends and family and look forward to going back!

Cottage with Cabana
This is one of the most unique stays you will ever find on a short term rental. Perfectly located about an hour north of Asheville, NC this one of a kind property is the perfect getaway from the city life. Breathing taking mountain and stream views with plenty of open spaces for a peaceful ambience. The property is truly like a natural art gallery and the star gazing at night is like nothing I have ever seen. So much to do from local wineries, hiking, bon fires, tubing and the list goes on. Impeccable hosts and what a perfect getaway!
