Built by two people who couldn't stay away from the mountains
A cabin renovation that never really stopped
Timberline Hollow started in 2011 when Kate and Owen Marsh bought a run-down hunting cabin outside Asheville, North Carolina, meaning to fix it up as a weekend project. It became a second job, then a full-time one — and within two years, friends were asking to rent it when the Marshes weren't there.
What began as one cabin is now more than fifty, spread across six mountain ranges from the Cascades to the Adirondacks. The rule hasn't changed since that first renovation: every property gets visited, walked, and personally approved by someone on our team before it's ever listed — no exceptions, no matter how far it is from home.
We're still headquartered above a coffee shop in Asheville, still family-run, and still answer the phone ourselves most days.
The standard behind every listing
We Visit Every Cabin
No property joins our collection sight-unseen. Our team walks every cabin, checks every trail nearby, and sits in every hot tub before it goes live.
Hosted, Not Just Listed
A real local team answers the phone, restocks the firewood, and knows which trail is muddy this week. We're neighbors first, hosts second.
Light on the Land
We work with owners who maintain their forested acreage responsibly — septic-safe cleaning products, respected wildlife corridors, no clear-cut backyards.
Honest Listings, Always
Every photo on our site is real, current, and unedited beyond basic color correction. What you book is what you'll find in the driveway.
Thirteen years, six mountain ranges
Started with one cabin outside Asheville, NC — a fixer-upper our founders renovated themselves on weekends.
Expanded into the Smokies and Blue Ridge as word spread through word of mouth and a growing base of repeat guests.
Crossed into the Rockies and Cascades, hiring our first regional caretaker teams to keep the hands-on standard.
Now 50+ cabins across six mountain ranges, still family-run, still visited in person before they ever go live.
