Did I mention our latest project? By far my favorite one we've done. Now, to buy more books 🤣
#cabininthemountains #cabininthewoods #mountainlove #travelawesome #letushostyou #asheville #oldfortnc #readonvacation
Did you know that we are part of a mountain community called Gateway Mountain? One perk you'll enjoy when you let us host you is access to two hiking trails and a really great, very private, waterfall.

Serious upgrade to our loft! Out with the recliner and everything else, in with a minimalist laptop station. If you must work on vacation, isn't this kind of the best place to be? Our Internet is on point, no worries on video calls or streaming.
What do you think? We extended our spring break trip a few days thanks to our remote working situation. It was great to log off in the evening and be in the mountains!

Spring nights in NC are perfect hot tub time. How do you soak? Music, silence? Book? Wine, cocktail, coffee, tea?

I have to admit, I've worked worse places. Steve's upstairs in the loft, in the new work station. So I'm in the kitchen and I've got to say, I feel so lucky to have a job that I can do here.
Do you ever leverage remote working and extend your trip a few extra days?

😭 We had it all planned out: hang out at the cabin until lunch, mountain bike 2 new trails in the Old Fort Gateway Trails system (we did Foundation a few days ago), coffee at Dynamite Roasting Company , then hike Rattlesnake Mountain in Montreat, dinner at Foothills Local Meats . 😭
But I must say, the rain is awfully peaceful here, and sounds like a bit of heaven. And being rained in at the cabin isn't so bad when you really think about it, now is it?

Help! What should we do with this space? It overlooks the cabin's main living space. Scrap the chair for sure. Laptop work space? Reading nook and shelving? In need of ideas! What would you like to see there when you stay?

We love our AVL coffee shops so much that we decided to have a little collection at the cabin. Hopefully it also gives you an idea of where to try when you stay with us. Who are we missing?
