Luxury Log Cabin Retreat – 25 Min from Asheville
Welcome to Whispering Wind Cabin, your luxury escape tucked high above Canton, NC. This beautifully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bath log cabin now includes a brand-new wellness suite with a sauna, cold plunge, and private gym, giving you a true resort-style experience in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Soak in the hot tub, relax by the fire pit, or enjoy the game room after a beautiful day exploring Asheville, Waynesville, or the Parkway.
Access & Arrival
Mountain drives are part of the experience! The cabin sits atop a newly graded gravel road with a sharp turn.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) is required to reach the property.
This is common for homes in the mountains, and the views at the top make it absolutely worth it! (If you have questions about mountain driving, reach out anytime — we’re happy to guide you.)
Please note: no refunds are issued for inability to access the property due to road conditions.
The Cabin
Step into a spacious, newly renovated open floor plan with a living room, dining area, and fully equipped chef’s kitchen. Stunning floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the mountain views.
Kitchen includes: coffee maker, toaster, gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, pots/pans, dishes, utensils, and quartz countertops.
Dining area seats 8 guests, plus 2 more at the island.
The front living room is cozy and conversation-friendly, with a record player (no TV here. This space is for relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying the view). Please note: the front fireplace is currently decorative and non-functional.

Mountain Living Notes
The cabin is surrounded by winding country roads — part of the charm!
Fall and winter bring ladybugs and stink bugs seeking warmth. Our cabin has regular pest control and is thoroughly cleaned before and after every stay, though a few may reappear (a mountain quirk!).
