Moss and Ivy Retreats

A fourth house.

In Fairview, just past the bend of the road, an 1895 Victorian farmhouse has been waiting for its second century. Five bedrooms, wraparound porches, beadboard ceilings, wood paneling you can't source anymore — and good bones underneath it all.

She's joining Moss & Ivy. Over the coming weeks we'll open the doors on the restoration: the woodwork we're keeping, the details that make a house a home.

Coming soon — first stays in 2027. Follow the restoration process over at .

Ivy is the quieter companion to Moss: a guest house for two, shaped for mornings without an agenda and evenings that need very little arranging.

Its appeal is in the scale. A composed room, a few considered details, and time that feels entirely your own.

Send this to the person who appreciates plans with breathing room.

October in Western North Carolina is as much about what is made here as what changes color.

This week offers two beautiful reasons to leave the cabin for a few hours: the Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands in downtown Asheville, October 15–18, and Waynesville's Apple Harvest Festival on October 17. One is a close look at Appalachian craft; the other places the season itself along Main Street.

Lovely Asheville opened the week at Pack Square Park on October 10–11—a generous reminder that the region's fall calendar begins with community.

Choose one outing. Return before evening. Let the cabin hold the rest of the day.

Before it became a place to stay, Moss was a to***co barn. That history is not treated as a theme; it is the foundation.

Look closer, and time shows what it has given the building: its silhouette, its texture, and the warmth of rooms made for gathering. Today, the house welcomes up to twelve, but its sense of character remains beautifully particular.

Keep this for the gathering that deserves a house with a story.

Built as a barn, kept like a home. Log walls, a stone fireplace, a piano in the corner — rooms that feel gathered over time, not decorated all at once.

Sleeps four, with a loft for slow mornings. Fifteen minutes from downtown Asheville, the porch chairs are waiting.

Keep this for a long weekend.

Some homes are just beautiful. Others hold you.

Thank you to our recent guests who gathered generations under this roof, lingered on the sleeping porch, and noticed every detail we poured into the renovation.

The Moss Cabin began as a late-1800s to***co barn, moved by mule and buggy to Montreat. We have spent years honoring its history while shaping it into something quietly luxurious.

Hearing that it feels magical to you means everything.

With gratitude,
Chad & Katie

My family is safe but my community needs help! There are many families that are stranded and running out of supplies. We’ve got equipment out there digging people free but we need to keep fuel in the machines so we can continue making progress. I’m making fuel runs to South Carolina filling a 120 gallon fuel cell and 20 5 gallon tanks daily. Many of you have reached out asking how you can help. If you’d like to donate all proceeds will go towards these supplies.
