This convenient location is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast. Your romantic get-away is located just 10 minutes from the Mountains to Sea Trail, water sports on the French Broad River, hiking and biking at Bent Creek and the NC Arboretum.

Great Cottage

Donna's cabin was perfect for us. The deck looking out over the pond was great for sitting outside in the mornings with a cup a coffee. It was close to my family and convenient to Asheville and the surrounding area. We totally enjoyed our stay there.

Peaceful and easy to get to

Loved the cabin. Secluded yet easy to get to and close to many local attractions. Quick response to questions before and during stay. Fishing is great on the pond! I will definitely recommend staying here for single travelers or couples looking to get away from the chaos of everyday life. Sitting on the screened porch at night listening to the frogs was super relaxing. Hot tub was GREAT!

Great Getaway

Donna’s cabin sits on a stunningly beautiful property. To reach the house you drive past a lovely horse farm with mountains all around. The cabin is cozy with everything you need including a hot tub and screen porch that overlooks a tranquil lake. The inside is well appointed and very clean. The bed was very comfortable with extra pillows and blankets. If you’re looking for a magical forest getaway this ticks all the boxes.

Wonderful experience

Donna and Curtis were absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful. The cabin is cozy and clean and has everything we needed. The porch and the hot tub were much needed after a day of exploring Asheville. The fishing was phenomenal. A much needed break from life for a couple of days. We will definitely be back.
