Take a 25-minute drive the reach the neighboring town of Old Fort. Known as the “Gateway to the Blue Ridge,” Old Fort sits at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is surrounded by lush forests and a diverse wildlife community. Andrew's Geyser, Catawba Falls, and Point Lookout Trail are among some of the oldest and most celebrated outdoor attractions in Old Fort.

For hiking enthusiasts, this home is about an hour's drive from the "gorge"-ous Linville Gorge Wilderness area and iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, which offers plenty of overlooks and hiking opportunities to choose from.

Don't forget that no trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina is complete without experiencing the "Land of Sky," Asheville, located just 45 minutes away. While there, be sure to check out the hip and artsy West Asheville district, North Carolina Arboretum, and America's Largest Home, the Biltmore Estate. Asheville is also home to an impressive number of award-winning restaurants and breweries that you can sample in between all your activities. Return home after a full day of activities to unwind around the outdoor fire pit with s'mores while you discuss all of the adventures you'll embark on tomorrow.

Overall

This was our 3rd stay at Mt. Crest - obviously we like it! The house is well kept and nicely furnished, and very clean. The layout on one floor is convenient for our party of 6. The porch is spacious, providing a great view.

Manager's Response

Mountain Crest - Beautiful

Overall

A comfortable and spacious modern cabin home with a stunning view. It had everything we needed for the weekend at our disposal. Upon entering the community, the drive up the mountain takes around 15 minutes to get up to where the cabin is. Worth it.

Manager's Response

Charles, we can't thank you enough for your 5-star review! It's wonderful to hear that Mountain Crest provided everything needed for an amazing getaway, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us and potential guests. We hope you'll keep us in mind for future trips to the Asheville area!

Mountain Crest Review

Overall

We stayed here for a few days around Super Bowl weekend. This cabin is definitely top notch! Of course, every cabin we have rented through Greybeard has been nice. The kitchen is well stocked. Every bedroom having a bathroom is a big plus. Having everything all laid out on one floor is also nice when you are lugging luggage in and out. All in all, a very comfortable cabin. We would definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

Terry, thank you for your five-star review of Mountain Crest! We're so glad to hear you had a fantastic Super Bowl weekend stay; Your feedback is so helpful to our team and future guests considering this home for their vacation to the mountains. We appreciate you choosing us at Greybeard, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon.

Overall

We have rented mountain vacation houses for over 40 years and this was our best experience yet! First, Mountain Crest was in excellent condition, clean, no maintenance issues, and a well stocked kitchen(appliances, utensils). The house layout and accommodations were perfect for our party of six and 2 dogs. No one was cramped with the all inclusive kitchen, dining and living room area and adjoining 3 bedrooms with baths. Porches provided seating and space for outside viewing of the mountains. Plenty of parking space for our 3 vehicles. Second was the excellent service provided by Greybeard Rentals, with their communication before, during and after our stay to insure us of a pleasant experience.

Manager's Response

Fred, we're beyond thrilled to hear that you and your group (including your two pups) had such an exceptional getaway at Mountain Crest and loved the clean, spacious interior and sensational views. We're also honored to hear that your vacation to one of our properties provided your favorite and most memorable vacation yet. We appreciate you choosing Greybeard Rentals and taking the time to share your kind words with us and fellow travelers, and we look forward to your return!

Lovely stay at Mountain crest

Overall

This cabin is beautiful with expanded views throughout. Very clean and well appointed! Shower and master bath needs some work! I was disappointed that there was not a fire table as advertised. Love the inside fireplace though! We will return!

Manager's Response

Treva, we're delighted that you had an overall amazing stay at Mountain Crest and enjoyed the gorgeous mountain views. We apologize for the miscommunication about the fire table; it has been removed permanently, and we have updated the listing to reflect this. We're glad that you were still able to enjoy the outdoor wood-burning fire pit and indoor gas log fireplace during your stay. We appreciate you sharing your valuable feedback and recommendations with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back to this home soon!

Overall

The home was great with magnificent views. It was well appointed and comfortable with plenty of seating for our group of six. The views across the mountains looked like a painting. Great seclusion on the mountain side.

Manager's Response

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay, along with the views and privacy of Mountain Crest! Thank you for the wonderful feedback and we hope to welcome you back soon.
