About this property

Eli Reeves Cabin at Hobbyknob Farm - Authentically restored 1820 Log Cabin

Come enjoy a winter treat with a real fireplace and all the free wood you need!
This two story log cabin was originally built in 1820 by Eli Reeves, an Indiana furniture maker. In the fall of 2015 it was moved log by log to our farm and was restored to feel like you stepped back in time but with very special touches. If these logs could talk!
The first word most guests say is "wow" and we worked hard to earn that. If you do an internet search for the cabin name you will see our 185 plus all 5 star reviews.
We set out to create something special that would stand out to share with guests. Come experience this piece of history and make some memories of your own.
We are a working Fiber Farm raising rare breed sheep, Llamas and Alpacas.
We have chickens for farm fresh eggs for you.
Plenty of firewood for the wood burning fireplace and central heat and air.
We are 4 miles from Main Street in Weaverville and 11 miles from Asheville right up I-26.

I cannot begin to explain the perfection of this cabin. The pictures do not do it justice! Not only is the property breathtaking, but the cabin is IMMACULATE! My husband and I took our three daughters for a few days and we were all blown away. The antiques are perfectly placed throughout (inside and outside on both porches), while the appliances are all new. Four ( or more ) remote controlled AC/heaters (upstairs and downstairs) worked perfectly. The outdoor fire pit, board games, fresh eggs in the refrigerator- you cannot find a property anywhere with more thoughtful hosts who TRULY have thought of everything. We absolutely are planning on returning. Again, and in summary, the peaceful and breathtaking property is actually equaled by the atmosphere inside the immaculate cabin. We didn’t expect that- and choosing this property will be such a wise decision for all considering visiting Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Best we've had

Daron and Elizabeth are the BEST hosts and this cabin is absolutely perfect if you are looking for a cabin getaway in the mountains. The cabin itself is perfect: great wood burning fireplace, fully restored cabin with all the amenities (great wifi), and no issues with hot water or appliances. Daron was great with communication and Elizabeth was so gracious to show us their farm with llamas, goats, sheep, chickens and ducks! They give you fresh eggs when you arrive, have coffee grounds and firewood aplenty. Honestly I can't imagine a better place or better hosts. We are so grateful for them and would stay here again in a heartbeat. You absolutely MUST check this place out!

Great escape in the mountains

I had an incredibly restful and renewing time at the cabin! The hosts were so accommodating by letting us check in early and thought of everything. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed and the host brought fresh eggs from her chickens on the day of our arrival. The setting on the farm in the woods was serene and I could not have imagined a better place to stay while my daughter was getting married at a nearby venue. I highly reccommend staying and we plan to return!

About the host

Hosted by Daron and Elizabeth

We escaped from Atlanta in 1997 with our 14 month old daughter. Elizabeth has had a love of the mountains since attending camp in the area and spending weekends with her family at their small property in the North GA mountains. Asheville offered mountains and activities without all the traffic. We found the space we craved in the little town of Weaverville that is an easy drive to Asheville.

Why they chose this property

In the sea of choices of choices for lodging we set out to create something special. A chance to share a bit of country life in an authentic historic structure that was built combining period details while building a comfortable space well built with all the creature comforts you'd dream of. Central heat and air, a wood burning fireplace, well equipped kitchen, and large master bath with soaking tub and separate shower. All situated for optimum privacy. Photos don't do this cabin justice!

What makes this property unique

We are close to everything yet far enough away to feel secluded. Activities in our area are extensive. We can recommend many from our own experiences like fly fishing guides, horse back riding or hikes with the best views. Dining options cover a full array of choices. We are close to Asheville and Weaverville, both tourist towns that offer a little of everything.
