There’s something special about baseball season in Asheville—and it’s about to get even more exciting. The Big South Conference Baseball Championship is coming to town in 2026 and 2027, bringing top college teams and their fans to the historic McCormick Field from May 20–23.
If you’re planning to attend, where you stay can make a big difference in your overall experience.
A Better Way to Stay: Cabins Just Minutes from the Ballpark
At Asheville Cabins of Willow Winds, we regularly host families, couples, and groups who want to be close to downtown—but not stuck in the noise and traffic that comes with big events.
We’re located just about 5 miles from McCormick Field, which means you can get to the games quickly and still come back to a quiet, relaxing space at the end of the day.
Instead of a crowded hotel, you’ll have room to spread out, unwind, and actually enjoy your time in the mountains.
Why Families and Teams Love Staying Here
One thing we hear often from guests during busy events is how much they appreciate having space—especially when traveling with kids or in groups.
Our cabins are spread out across a private mountain property, giving you a mix of comfort and privacy that’s hard to find in town. Each cabin includes its own private hot tub, making it easy to relax after a long day at the ballpark, and a fully stocked kitchen so you can prepare a quick breakfast or light meal without having to go back out.
In between games, guests often:
- Let the kids burn off energy at the playground
- Take a walk on the trails right on the property
- Spend a little downtime by the pond
- Soak in the hot tub and unwind in the evening
For teams or extended families, booking multiple cabins close together makes it easy to stay connected while still having your own space.
Turn the Tournament into a Mountain Getaway
While the championship games may be the main event, many of our guests end up turning their trip into a full Asheville getaway.
Being just outside of Asheville gives you quick access to:
- Downtown restaurants and breweries
- Scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway
- Hiking and outdoor adventures
And at the end of the day, you can come back to your cabin, enjoy a quiet meal, and relax in your private hot tub.
