Spacious and comfy

This is a really great place for a big family get together. We had 14 people stay here, and it was very comfortable. It was great that there were so many bathrooms. The views are amazing, and we really enjoyed the hiking trail above the house. The kitchen was nice, with very good appliances.

The perfect wedding weekend

Wow, what a great stay. We had a small elopement with family and needed a large cabin for the weekend. This cabin is beautifully built, has everything you need for a large gathering of people, and gorgeous views. Simms was very communicative and ensured that everything was perfect for us. We also loved being able to use the shuttle and firewood service. You should definitely stay here!

Family reunion

I have eight siblings and their spouses. We used this Vrbo for our family reunion. This moose lodge was wonderful! Each of my siblings had their own bedroom and bathroom, which was very nice. The common areas were super! We had a wonderful time! The views, and the shuttle to various venues we wanted to go to was an added plus. I highly recommend this place.

Great girls trip!

My sisters and our daughters stayed here while visiting Asheville & the Biltmore Estate. Couldn’t have had more fun. This property was perfect for us - lots of bedrooms and bathrooms (important in a house full of women!). There was plenty of room for all of us to eat together, to hang out together and there was even plenty of room in the kitchen for all the cooks! Rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. Very cozy. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!

Multi generational thanksgiving!

We chose Asheville as a meeting point between family in Atlanta and family in Pennsylvania, and it’s a beautiful city! The house served us really well (11 adults and 6 kiddos) and everyone had room to spread out or hang out together. The kitchen is very well appointed, which was wonderful because we made a huge thanksgiving dinner! We highly recommend this property! And the owner was very responsive when we had a couple of questions. Two thumbs up!!

Ladies Vibe Tribe Getaway

We were a group of 10 women gathering for a friends getaway. The Inn was comfortable, spacious, private and easily accomodated our entire party. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the ping pong table was an added bonus. The beds were very comfortable. Also, the roundtrip transportation offered, for a fee, gave us peace of mind after dark, as the Inn is situated high up a mountainside - plus, we could indulge in a beverage or two; giving a shoutout to Audrey, our driver! The property manager was easily accessible and quickly responded to all inquiries. We would recommend a stay here and look forward to returning on our next trip to Asheville.

Great for a family reunion!

The drive up to the house is what I would expect here in the mountains. An adventure at first. We all loved the lodge. It had ample room for my extended family of 20+: room to gather, room to eat, room to find a space to be alone. Having 8 bedrooms, each with a nice bathroom was really a game changer and very much appreciated by my adult relatives. The kitchen is well-stocked and everything would have been perfect if the built-in fridge had been working. We needed instructions for the Bunn coffeemaker, but we eventually figured it out. The deck was a wonderful place to enjoy the mountain views.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We had an amazing long weekend getaway with friends at the Lodge! The house was perfect for our group – the bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable, giving everyone plenty of room to relax (best part was each has their own bathroom) The place was spotless, and you could tell the host really cares about the property.We also took advantage of the car service for a group trip to Asheville, which made everything so easy and stress-free. The front porch offered stunning scenic views, and it was a perfect spot to unwind in the evening. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, making meal prep a breeze.Simms was responsive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommend this place for a fun, relaxing trip with friends or family! Note - this is a LODGE (no insolation), so noise carries. Folks walking on the second floor can be heard by anyone below.

Perfect for a large group

We have a large group that comes to Asheville every year to check out the brewery scene. The Wayward Moose Inn was perfect for us. The property was plenty big enough for the whole group and having the ability to schedule a shuttle ride to downtown was an added bonus. We’ll definitely be looking to stay here when we come back.

A nice family Thanksgiving

Overall, we had a great trip. There was nothing that lessened the enjoyment we had together as a family. However, there were a few things that may be normal in a mountain log cabin, but perhaps could be upgraded. There were a lot of stairs into the house and guest house and only one bedroom on the main floor of main house so seniors had a harder time of it. Cleaning was hit and miss. Large cobwebs in places in the house, large soaking tubs in guest house were dirty. Some things did not work properly - upstairs bath had faulty toilet so we had to jiggle the handle after each flush. That bathroom is also carpeted which was different. The main house primary bedroom door got stuck so we had to climb through an open window to open it from the inside. There were a lot of wasps in guest house. Views were beautiful, house was large enough to accommodate 14 people and baby, kitchen was well-stocked to cook a Thanksgiving meal. Overall, we had a very good time.

Beautiful property, amazing house

This is probably the nicest rental property I’ve ever stayed in. The views were amazing, every room is spacious and has a bathroom. Highly recommend this place. Be aware that the house is at the top of a mountain on an unpaved road, so make sure you have a vehicle that can handle that. Simms and Hunter were both great and Hunter gave us a ride to and from downtown Asheville.

We hosted a family reunion here - 20 of us from all over the world. The lodge was well appointed and set up for a group of our size. Gorgeous views, great location, well equipped and responsive owner. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, plus multiple dishwashers and refrigerators. Would stay here again - highly recommend!

Fantastic property in a great location.

The property is just as advertised. Beautiful and spacious with great views. Kitchen is well stocked and the ping pong table was well used. We even saw two bears passing through. Highly recommend the van service (the last mile is no fun in the dark) driver was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable you can just text the number and they will get immediately contact you.

Awesome Wayward Moose week

The property consists of the main house ( 4 bedrooms) and the guest house right adjacent with 4 large bedrooms. Each bedroom has a full bathroom en suite. The master suite on the first floor of the main house is huge with a huge bathroom and very large closet( as large as a single dormitory room). The houses are gorgeous with large decks with rocking chairs. The only common rooms ( kitchen, dining, lounges) are in the main house. These rooms are very well appointed and easily allowed our party of 11 to spread out in comfort. The view of the mountains magnificent. Though a mile ride up the mountain, you are close to stores, eateries and not far from downtown. The hewn log cabin interior provided the perfect ambiance. The kitchen has all you need to store and prepare tasty treats. Even has a separate ice maker, double oven, large cook top, a large refrigerator and a smaller refrigerator, 2 dishwashers, modern.washer and dryer. You will love this house. The only thing is the staircase to get into the main house could be a challenge for someone with bad knees or hips. The host is very nice and accessible. We did not have to call him as we expérienced no problems. people have commented on the drive up the mountain. I was concerned about it too. Though a little steep in a few places and had a couple of sharp turns, it is not bad at all ,especially after doing it once. we all had suv style vehicles and were glad we did. arrive before dark first time. Highly recommend
