The Cabins at Sandy Mush Bald offer guests an off-grid and authentic Appalachian experience at our hike-in cabins and campsites located on 500 private acres atop the Newfound Mountains in Western North Carolina! Appalachian homestead, reconstructed and refurbished, cabins along the beautiful Newfound mountain range just miles West of Asheville North Carolina. Cabins are located at 4800 feet, and t

he top of our property is Big Sandy Mush Bald, the joining point of 3 counties; Madison,Haywood and Buncombe County! From this vantage point you can see 360 degree (during Winter) 500 acres next to 1600 of forest preserve on our southern boarders. 7 springs, miles of trails to hike and explore. 2 Mountain Balds with various flowers that bloom like ocean waves across the ridges and ranges. It's worth hiking in gear and visiting for a weekend getaway. Off grid and rustic, but with almost all modern conveniences. The view from the main cabin porch is awe inspiring and the wood fire stove is used for heat and for cooking and baking. The Mountain Stewards are an able group with an interesting blend of forestry work skills and a surprisingly keen ability to gracious hosts in the mountain wild. www.thecabinsatsandymushbald.com

โ€œOur girls trip was a huge success! Lisa and Doug took amazing care of us! The hike into the property is a steep 2 miles well-marked gravel/dirt road. Our accommodations were a private rustic and very clean cabin with our own private bath with shower. The food was wonderful, definitely sign up for the dinners! 2 nights was perfect to enjoy the hikes, relax, play games and enjoy the amazing views. Iโ€™ll be back in the fall if Iโ€™m lucky!โ€ - Lee L., August 2026

Thanks Lee! We hope to see you in the fall, if weโ€™re lucky!

We all know Doug cooks the best country breakfasts, but if you take a few minutes to sit on the swing and breathe in the cool late summer breeze, he might tell you a couple stories youโ€™ll remember forever.
