Are you seeking a memorable vacation experience? Look no further than Nature's Den - a beautifully renovated mountain cabin in Columbus, North Carolina. With easy access to trails, waterfalls, and more, this two-bedroom retreat is the perfect home base for your next North Carolina mountain getaway.
Nature's Den is situated at the top of an exclusive, private mountain community and is a guest favorite. The owners have outfitted and equipped this cabin with your needs in mind, creating the ultimate vacation experience.
Inside the cabin, you will find a contemporary mountain-style haven with high ceilings, vaulted spaces, wood and tile floors, and breathtaking forest views. The great room, complete with a stone fireplace and fully equipped kitchen, is the perfect gathering spot for friends and family. However, if you need some alone time, there is plenty of space inside and out to find your serenity.
Outside, there are three decks with unlimited mountain views, as well as an expansive full-length front porch just off the kitchen and great room. The White Oak community is perfect for exploring, with safe places for kids to play and adults to hike and ride bikes. When the day is done, you can relax and unwind as you take in the star-filled nights and the fireflies that come out to play in your backyard.
If you're a horse enthusiast, you'll be happy to know that you're in horse country and close to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC), a year-round venue uncovered in Mill Spring, NC — about 25-40 minutes away from the cabin depending on traffic conditions. It's the world's premier Equestrian Lifestyle Destination, showcasing some of the top riders in the Hunter/Jumper, Dressage, and Eventing disciplines.
For outdoor enthusiasts, you're only minutes away from America's favorite scenic byway, The Blue Ridge Parkway, as well as opportunities for motorcycle touring, biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, Segway tours, and more.
Our cabin is conveniently located in Columbus, NC, near the charming villages of Saluda and Tryon. You can experience a small-town American vibe, festivals, and activities year-round. You can head to downtown Hendersonville or Asheville for first-rate restaurants, shopping, galleries, spas, and entertainment. The Asheville Regional Airport is just 25 minutes away, and the Biltmore Estate is a 45-minute drive from our cabin.
Most importantly the drive to the house is fully paved to the door with ample parking. Be aware that the ascent involves navigating a one-lane road with sharp turns and a notably steep incline. There are no guard rails, which might be disconcerting for those unaccustomed to mountainous terrain. While some guests find the drive exhilarating, we understand that others may prefer a more straightforward approach. Please consider this aspect when planning your visit to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Nature's Den. We prioritize transparency to ensure our guests have all the information they need for a memorable experience.
Escape to the top of White Oak Mountain and discover the best of North Carolina. Plan your stay at Nature's Den today and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this serene paradise.
