When you pull into the driveway, you will enter a secluded, tree-lined oasis. A short walk down the plant-lined stone walkway to the front porch boasting pine log columns, you will enter the front door into the main room of this 2,700+ sq foot modern log farmhouse. There you will be greeted by vaulted wood and beam ceilings, hardwood plank floors, comfortable living and dining spaces, a spacious fully-equipped kitchen and a spectacular wood burning stove seated on a large stone hearth. The main room was originally a small cabin built in the 1930s, and its timeless charm shines through to today. From the main room you can step out onto the large wrap-around deck and enjoy outdoor dining or cocktails or a tranquil morning coffee. From this part of the deck, you can also enjoy a mountain top view, especially in the winter months.
Continue on through the main room into the modern-day portion of the home where you will find a large hallway bathroom featuring a granite double vanity and a large tile and glass shower. Located near the hallway bathroom is a bedroom with a luxurious king bed and lots of windows to enjoy natural light and views of the outside. This bedroom has a walk-in closet and a 43-inch smart TV in case you find yourself wanting to lounge in privacy or drift off to the sounds of your favorite show.
At the far end of the hallway you will find the cavernous master suite with its heavily beamed ceiling and 2 queen beds. This room includes comfortable seating areas, a 55-inch smart TV and a large walk-in closet. This bedroom also features 2 full ensuite private bathrooms – one on each side of the master closet. The first full bathroom has a vanity, toilet and soaking tub, and the other full bathroom has a vanity, toilet and large tile and glass shower. This bedroom is ideal for families and is large enough to also accommodate air mattresses or sleeping bags for little guests or a pack and play. From the master suite you can access the wrap-around deck and make your way out to the firepit or the pool.
Situated between the two downstairs bedrooms is a private office with a built-in desk, shelves and drawers with a wireless printer. If by some misfortune you require a place to work in peace and quiet during your getaway (hopefully for only a brief time), this is your workplace retreat.
Before heading upstairs, you will pass through the nook located at the stairway landing. The nook has a charming wooden built-in single bed adorned with bookshelves. This bed is perfect for the little adventurer in your family or the solo teenager or adult. Here in the nook the kids can also relax apart from the grown-ups and read or play board games or the Xbox on the 43-inch smart TV. From the nook you can access the wrap-around deck outside. Venturing upstairs you will find another spacious bedroom with an ensuite full bathroom and king bed. This large bedroom has a comfortable seating area where you can relax with a book or your tablet, and another 43-inch smart TV for your private viewing pleasure. Across the upstairs landing is the bunk room with 2 single beds, each with a pullout trundle bed. The bunkroom is perfect for the younger members of the family to hang out and “bunk up” for memorable times together.
When you're ready to venture outside the home and explore the property, fun and adventure awaits! Enjoy splashing or soaking in the heated in-ground swimming pool or just lounge around and enjoy the sun and the calm mountain breezes. Hangout by the firepit and enjoy the crackling fire and make s'mores with the family. Head over to the garage game room and enjoy hours of fun playing ping pong, foosball, pop-a-shot basketball or electronic darts. Visit the enclosed raised-bed garden and snip some fresh herbs to enjoy with your dinner. Or amble on over to the hammock and relax with a book or simply nod off to the sounds of the outdoors.
This stunning property essentially has it all. Aptly named as a true oasis of relaxation, Mountain Laurel Oasis is a true luxury getaway designed to provide memorable vacations for all ages and groups.
Mountain Laurel Oasis was built as a second/vacation home, and has been entertaining travelers for years and has very quickly become one of the most popular homes in our Yonder luxury portfolio. It is not surprising when you put a terrific estate property and log home together with a simply spectacular property, outdoor spaces, swimming pool and other amenities.
While the log home is only a 3-bedroom, it was built for "family vacations", and the gathering of groups, so additional sleeping areas were constructed to allow for plenty of kids, and/or multiple generations. The layout offers full privacy for adults, with spaces suitable for lots of children.
You are just minutes from America's favorite scenic byway, The Blue Ridge Parkway, motorcycle touring, biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, Segway tour…just about any outdoor activity! Or, take a quick ride to downtown Asheville to enjoy the first-rate restaurants, shopping, galleries, spas, and entertainment. Looking for something a little quainter? Take the short drive down to Hendersonville or Brevard and take in the small mountain delights. The options and possibilities from this location are endless…

Incredible kitchen setup - everything one could imagine for cooking was available. Perfect for our group that included three generations of family. Sleeping arrangements were great and assured that there were plenty of private spaces for all.The outer game room was a hit with kids and adults alike! The only downside was that the heat was a bit tricky to navigate, with the main room remaining quite cool while the rear area containing the bedrooms was very hot and dry. All in all, a lovely place!

Other than the photos showing a hot tub (which is no longer there) the listing was accurate. In fact, I think it was better than the photos as the place was wonderful and met our needs perfectly.

Our stay was very good and fun. House was great, comfortable, clean. Game room was used often. We did experience a few issues: stovetop front eye didn’t work, coffee pot lid needs replacement and filters need to be LARGE not small. Thankfully it was not a cold weather week because the main room is hard to warm up, even with the wood stove. One email I received said it had hot tub. I called to verify and was told YES. It does NOT have a hot tub. You will want to correct that communication. It was a wonderful home for our family Christmas! We all enjoyed this lovely home and property. Thank you.

Outdoor heaven . The land and vegetation surrounding the home and pool area was beautiful . I couldn’t get enough of it . Then add in the home and it was a perfect vacation for two families. We enjoyed everything about the home and pool . The kids ( and adults ) loved the game room as well . It would have been nice to be able to use the jacuzzi, but things happen and that’s totally understandable.

Great time, great property!
This house is set up so well for a large family get away! All of the rooms and amenities are such that it feels like you’re staying in a house, not a quick flip to rent out (like the ones with no blinds, no mirrors, no nightstands…all the stuff you have at home or a hotel. Pool and hot tub were GREAT and super big. One of the best rental houses I’ve stayed in.

Serenity
I was blown away by this property, as well as the owners. It was wonderful. Spacious and quiet, the whole house had something to offer. With the fire pit in the back, the hot tub, the game room, the TV and leather sofa, and the updated kitchen, this house had everything I could have hoped for. The owners also had excellent communication throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this property.

Want to go back already!
This house is a 10/10! The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and so well thought out. It’s a super close drive to the Sierra Nevada brewery and airport and about 20 or so minutes to the winery. The house had all necessities for cooking and staying in. The rental company made everything easy. Want to already go back in the warmer months to take advantage is the pool

Amazing cabin retreat!
Our stay was perfect! The cabin was amazing!! Property was beautiful! Everything was exactly as shown on the website. Location was perfect. Close enough to Asheville but far enough away from the hustle bustle! The pool and hot tub were glorious! The game room was perfect! The entire place was fully equipped with everything that we needed/wanted. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!

Romantic Anniversary Getaway
So amazingly beautiful…we absolutely loved everything. The grounds and the pool are so beautiful. We enjoyed staying there so much we didn’t want to leave. I enjoyed watching the birds and the butterflies. It was truly magical. We loved staying in and spending our day by the pool and relaxing indoors. We went for drives and visited Biltmore Village. I told my husband we could buy a cabin like this and then we would never have to leave home again.

Great stay in NC
Better than advertised! This property was great. Our family spent a week exploring Asheville and the surrounding area and this was our home base for a week. Our teenage kids enjoyed the pool and game room and our adult kids (one of whom is taking an online course this Summer) appreciated the private office space and connectivity. Everything you need is on site (quite frankly we packed too much not knowing how well stocked the kitchen would be.). I'd highly recommend this property to other families. Just down the street from Sierra Nevada brewery and a short drive to downtown Asheville, Biltmore, etc.

The stay exceeded our expectations. There were some issues with the Hot Water Heater but Kim, the maintenance tech jumped on the issue and rectified it before we returned from our day outing. The staff at Yonder were super nice and responsive. It was great to have such a good team of people to take care of us! Thank you! The owner also opened the pool to us a week early at our request.

Overall, amazing place to stay!
This property was amazing! Exceeded expectations with size, layout, and the grounds. Only complaint would be the neighbors. Quiet hours began at 10:00 and by 10:18 we had a call from the owner stating there were noise complaints. We didn’t have music playing, just all sitting at the table talking and catching up! He was very kind and apologetic that he had to call but it was a big bummer for sure. Just something to keep in mind! But would definitely go back.

Great place
We had a great time at this cabin. We had a large family stay and everyone had nice beds to sleep in. The rooms upstairs don’t have central air so one room is really cold abs the other is really hot even though there are fans and air conditioners/heaters in the rooms. This was just a little uncomfortable but nothing serious. We all did just fine.
The deck, grill, patio furniture and pool were great. We couldn’t find a pool scooper so the pool got a little dirty, but the kids didn’t seem to care.
We were able to go grocery shopping near by, antique shopping and made a day trip to the Biltmore , which was a great time!
