Description Description
Nestled on a picture-perfect six-acre estate at the head of a peaceful valley, Cool Stream Lodge is a true mountain paradise in Western North Carolina. Located conveniently to downtown Asheville, this unique property features two separate residences, a Main Lodge and a Guest Cabin. An inviting in-ground pool with a barbecue pavilion surrounded by natural beauty is ideal for large gatherings, family reunions, or group getaways, Cool Stream Lodge blends historic character with modern luxury, offering guests a rare chance to experience the charm and tranquility of the mountains in every season from colorful fall foliage to spring picnics, summer swims, and cozy winter evenings by the outdoor/indoor fireplaces.

Anchored by an early 1800s hand-hewn log cabin, the main home has been thoughtfully expanded to create a seamless blend of refined living spaces. Rich details such as reclaimed wormy chestnut paneling, native stonework, and chinked logs bring warmth with authenticity, while vaulted ceilings and generous gathering areas add comfort and openness. The chef’s gourmet kitchen, complete with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a gas range, and two stoves, makes meal preparation a pleasure. The spacious layout offers plenty of room for everyone to relax and celebrate together. Outside, the pool area beckons for sunny afternoons and laughter-filled evenings.
The separate log guest cabin provides equally inviting accommodations for family or friends, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living area, and two spacious bedrooms. The cabin’s private back deck features its own personal hot tub. At Cool Stream Lodge, adventure, relaxation, and mountain beauty come together to create unforgettable memories.

Cool Stream Lodge was outstanding and exceeded our expectations, which were fairly high. The house and guest house are both well equipped and maintained, with furniture and accessories that are among the nicest we've seen in a rental property. The hosts clearly have a high attention to detail. The pool and outdoor area were fantastic and the setting itself is beautiful. One thing that's great for large groups is that all the bedrooms are not only very nice with comfortable beds, they all have their own bathroom. I would highly recommend Cool Stream Lodge.

Our family had a fantastic time. The house and pool are as pretty as the pictures. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals for a crowd. The beds are very comfortable! The pool area provided hours of fun for kids and adults. We took advantage of being within 25 minutes of downtown Asheville and the Biltmore. Super house and location!

Our family of 14 (9 adults and 5 children) enjoyed our week at this house. The kitchen was well equipped and the number of bedroom/bathrooms was good. Pool area is glorious and everyone had a great time swimming. There are three separate living rooms which made it easy for family to spread out. We saw a number of black bears on the property which gave us pause for the family walking between the main house and cottage but we made everyone walk in pairs, especially the kids and we had no encounters. We would definitely go back again.

Your family is always welcome back, and we look forward to hosting you again soon!

This home was one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in! Everything was exceptionally clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully maintained. The hosts were great—responsive, communicative, and helpful throughout the entire process. The pool area was wonderful and quickly became a favorite spot for our family to relax and enjoy time together. The home exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-appointed, and beautifully maintained property.

This property was in excellent condition! One of the nicest, well stocked homes we’ve stayed in. Only a couple of things that would have made our stay better:- the pond was not as advertised. We were notified of this a couple of days prior to our arrival, but were still disappointed that it was not available for fishing.- it would have been nice if the property had a fire pit.Overall, the property met the needs of our large group & we had a very nice time.

Hey Cynthia and Kevin, Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback about Cool Stream Lodge! We're thrilled you and your group had such a great stay and appreciated the home's condition and amenities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay. The property was the perfect place to spread out, unwind, and truly relax. It was peaceful, quiet, and offered exactly the kind of escape we were looking for. We found ourselves spending most of our time on the estate because it was so comfortable and inviting. There was plenty of room for everyone, both indoors and outdoors, and it never felt crowded. One thing we appreciated was knowing that there were restaurants, attractions, and activities nearby if we wanted to venture out, but honestly, the property itself was such a great destination that we rarely felt the need to leave. There were a few minor issues during our stay, as can happen anywhere, but they were small inconveniences rather than significant problems. Nothing impacted our enjoyment of the trip, and certainly nothing that would make us reconsider staying here again. Overall, this was a wonderful place to recharge, enjoy the surroundings, and spend quality time together. We would

Beautiful views inside and out. Home is tastefully decorated and very well appointed with everything you need to relax in style. The mix of the 1800's Log Cabin and modern finishings feel very warming. Overlooking the Bull Creek and mountains leave you feeling refreshed. This property was well managed by a professional team. One of my top vacation rentals ever. Thank you, Carolina Mornings.

This house did not disappoint! There were a total of 11 of us and our small dog and this house had everything we needed and more! The kitchen was generously stocked with everything you would need to serve a meal to a large family. The house was even more beautiful than depicted in pictures and we would 10/10 recommend!

Stunning estate property fit for a King or Queen!
Stunning estate property fit for a King or Queen! Gated property in the quietest area, only 15 minutes to downtown. We were stunned the entire time, our group was in awe of the property every chance we had. So much room and so many things to do. The house is well stocked with everything you need to cook. Wifi was great as there is zero cell service once you enter the property. This is a great place for large families, friend groups, or any other gathering. Each bedroom had a beautiful bathroom - unbeatable! Designer everything, including the pool and both houses! The communication by the host was amazing. So responsive and forward-thinking. A must rent - you will NOT regret it!

Outstanding Home. We didn’t even feel the need to leave the property to entertain ourselves. Still nice to have Asheville just 20 minutes away as a benefit!

The house was beautiful and the landscaping was magical.
This was an incredible property. The house was beautiful and the landscaping was magical. It was, truthfully, more than we needed, but we fell in love with the pictures and everything lived up to or exceeded our expectations. , It was very well-equipped and all top of the line. We especially appreciated the fact that we could bring our Shih Tzu to such a special place. He’d give it two thumbs up if he had thumbs. We would come back.

Plenty to do without going anywhere.
Stayed at the Cool Springs Lodge for a family party for ages 19-95 and the main house and guest house were perfect. Plenty to do without going anywhere. Beautiful setting and fun for all with lovely bedrooms and plenty of spaces to be together or get a little quiet time. The beds were comfortable. The linens and kitchenware may have taken a minute to locate in the many cabinets but everything was plentiful.

Everything was easy to find and clean.
The pool was wonderful. Basic things such as salt and pepper were supplied! The grill outside would not light. I believe I was doing it right. We got to see a bear walking the pretty cool property. Everything was easy to find and clean.

Will likely rent this place again!
Beautiful grounds and 2 homes were perfect for our large group. The outdoor covered area was the main gathering place of the weekend with 2 grills, an outdoor fireplace, a pool, and a hot tub. Carolina Mornings were super responsive to any questions and communicated politely and kindly. Will likely rent this place again!

Relaxing
This is a really nice place for a family to gather -- spacious, well designed, comfortable and with a great pool area and lawn. It's a beautiful, relaxing setting with a perfect kitchen/dining area and outdoor pool patio.

Last Minute Stay
Picking this place was a last minute decision. I am happy to say that it was very much enjoyed. We had a great time. I would highly recommend it for a large gathering. I would use it again for our next family reunion.

The Home is Huge!
The property was great, the home was beautiful, and the location was just right. The home is huge, and so nice. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the pond. The bedrooms are very large and accommodating. There are also 3 separate sitting areas in the home to give everyone somewhere to be. The pool area was great as well. Such a great place.

Large group family, friends and fun
Great property with all of the space, amenities and privacy you can enjoy. All interactions with the manager and team were smooth and we had no issues during our stay. Wonderful place for a big group. Close enough to the city and amenities for a quick trip while still feeling away in nature. Definitely recommend!

Mark W from Bedminster, NJ - Posted: 8/23/2020
Delightful property with great outdoor space - great to host a large group, especially those not looking to go to and from the house as it is tucked away at the end of a long road. This was an expensive rental so we were very disappointed when landscapers came from an entire day to do maintenance around the pool area from early morning to late afternoon, making use of the crowning/main feature of the property untenable during daylight hours, which is why we had booked it in the first place. When we got in touch with Carolina Morning (who seem to be a large mgmt company) they were unable to help. As a warning, it is difficult and expensive to arrange Ubers or cabs to and from the property, especially from the airport, given the secluded location. You are best off renting a car or bringing your own if coming from out of town.

Hello Haris, Thank you for your review, and we're glad you found the property to be delightful and great for a large group retreat. We apologize to hear about the impact our landscapers had on your recent visit - we try to minimize their footprint as much as possible but at times overlap with the guest schedule is unavoidable due to the high demand present for the property. We apologize for any impact this had during your stay. We hope you otherwise had an enjoyable visit to the mountains of Western North Carolina and thank you again for your review.

The main house, guest house and pool are amazing. The houses are well appointed and easily accommodated our family of 14. However, be aware that Cool Stream Lodge is off the grid. The internet service is very poor (when there is any service at all). Don’t believe Carolina Mornings when they tell you the internet service has been upgraded. I was told, in writing, we would have hundreds of Mbps. The best we experienced over our five day stay was 20 Mbps. This was grossly insufficient to support our family members that needed connectivity to work. If you’re looking to disconnect, this place is great, but if you are reliant on internet service and you don’t want to spend your day in an Internet cafe in Asheville, you should look elsewhere.
Andrew M - Posted: 6/22/2025 (Vrbo) - Stayed from: 6/12/2025 to 6/17/2025
Hello Taylor, Thank you for review and we hope you had a great visit to Cool Stream Lodge! Previously, Cool Stream Lodge was on a traditional internet service with speeds around 10 mbps. The home was recently upgraded to Starlink internet, with speeds between 25 and 35 mbps. During your stay we had reports of Wifi concerns, specifically around the pool area. We believe this was due to the range of Wifi at the property and have installed two additional mesh networks for signal extension. This should improve the WiFi experience for future guests. We hope you otherwise had an enjoyable stay in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and thank you again for your feedback!

We arrived to mouse droppings on the floor and saw numerous mice running through the house during our stay. The property manager was helpful in trying to assist, but the infestation had already occurred and was a disgusting feature of our stay that could not be adequately fixed in the 3 nights we were there. They refused to offer a rent concession - for a luxury property at premium pricing, we were very disappointed in their (Carolina Mornings) lack of accountability. They did not take ownership of the situation and do the right thing.
Kyle a - Posted: 4/10/2026 (Vrbo) - Stayed from: 4/2/2026 to 4/5/2026
Thank you for your review, and we apologize for any negative experience encountered during your recent stay with us. On our end we had a report during the stay that mice droppings were found in the home. We had no reports that mice were seen running through the property. Following the report we had housekeeping out to the home within a few hours to address the debris. We were unable to schedule a terminator to review and address the situation until Monday following your departure, and apologize for any impact it had on your visit. The night before your departure we were invited to give you a later than normal checkout to make it right with your group, and we agreed to this concession. Following the late checkout you then requested a majority of the stay back due to the issue, and this was something we were unable to accommodate. We hope you otherwise had an enjoyable stay in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and thank you again for your review.
