This is a simple & rustic, comfortable historic cabin on the S. Toe River, near the fine natural wonders & the great cultural & recreational activities of the Mt. Mitchell area. Situated 75' over the river, the cabin offers spectacular views. *the most rustic element of this place is the outdoor showering :) There are few places as enchanting in North Carolina as the Celo area of South Toe Valley. This rustic-but-comfortable restored antique cabin joins Celo Community, the oldest running intentional community in America, and Arthur Morgan School, a 50-year-old national model for progressive education of junior-highs. (But don't worry about hearing their delighted squeals! The school is a mile away, over the ridge.) Celo Community and the nearby Penland School of Crafts has enriched this area with a wealth of talent--particularly artistic talent in the form of world class artisans working in wood, hot art glass, pottery, fibre, and all the rest. You may want to use this cabin as headquarters for exploring all of the local culture or for exploring some of the trails of the Black Mountains, just across the road and the tallest chain east of the Rockies. Or you may want to just hang out in this romantic get-away and enjoy the rockers, the games, a book, the hammocks, the clear river in the front yard, the shower and footed tub in the woods, or the hot-tub--and each other. We're just a short, relaxing ride from Asheville or the Piedmont Triad yet worlds away down a beautiful blue-gray gravel road. We think you'll like us. Mountain views, direct river access with seating, hot tub powered by wood (or by gas), kitchen with gas burners and a rustic cabin with 3 bedrooms. You will have the place to yourself and we will be completely available for any of your needs. Celo Community and the nearby Penland School of Crafts has enriched this area with a wealth of talent--particularly artistic talent in the form of world class artisans working in wood, hot art glass, pottery, fibre, and all the rest. It's always a good idea when initially arriving to try to make it in before dark. Unless you are familiar with mountain roads it can be tricky after dark.
