Why Late Summer is the Best Time to Stay in an Asheville Cabin (and Why You Should Book Now)

Summer might be winding down, but in Asheville, some of the best moments of the season are just beginning. The early days of September bring a special kind of calm to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy a cozy cabin getaway before the leaf peepers roll in and rates start to climb. If you're thinking about escaping for a couple of days (or more), here’s why now is the best time to book your Asheville cabin.

It’s Quieter - and That’s a Good Thing

By early September, the buzz of summer tourism begins to fade. The trails are less crowded. Parking in town gets easier. Local shops, restaurants, and breweries still have their summer charm, but with a little more breathing room. Staying in one of our historic cabins during this time gives you space to actually relax, whether that’s rocking on the porch with your morning coffee or heading to Craggy Gardens for a mid-week hike without the crowds.

You’ll Get Better Rates and Last Minute Availability

Fall in Asheville is magical, and incredibly busy. But right now, you can take advantage of better pricing and flexible availability. Mid-week stays are especially budget-friendly, and spontaneous travelers can often grab a last-minute cabin without sacrificing quality or location. If you've been waiting for the right time to book, this is it.

It’s Still Summer… But Just Barely

The days are warm, the nights are cooler, and the first hints of fall are beginning to show. This in-between season is ideal for hiking, waterfall chasing, and front porch dinners. Apple orchards like Coston Farm and Grandad’s Apples N’ Such are opening for U-pick season, so you can spend your afternoon picking crisp apples, enjoying a cider donut on a picnic table, or exploring corn mazes before the crowds arrive in October.

Book Your Cabin Before Fall Arrives

If you are craving mountain views, early apples, or just some time to do nothing at all, our cabins are ready when you are. But as the first leaf turns, availability shrinks and prices go up. Don’t wait, book your Asheville cabin stay today and discover why late summer just might be your favorite season yet.
