We visited Laurel Mountain Retreat (Brookside cabin) from July 12th - July 15th, 2024, and it was fantastic, just like always. This was our first trip since my husband had a serious stroke in January 2023, and we had a great time. We’ve been to Laurel Mountain Retreat many times, but this was our first stay at Brookside cabin, which is wheelchair friendly, and it was wonderful. The cabins are always very clean and pleasant. There’s no better place to stay around Asheville. This is our favorite spot, and we even joke that it’s our second home.
