About this property

Mountain Shadows - Cottage on Stream - Hot Tub - Grill - Gas Fireplace - Pets OK

Mountain Shadows is a comfortable cottage built next to a babbling brook. Imagine driving down a country lane to a cottage nestled in the woodland. The cottage is on a quiet, peaceful street conveniently located between Brevard and Hendersonville, NC. There is a large porch where you can eat meals outside, have your morning coffee, or just enjoy relaxing in the mountain air. The Hot Tub is on the covered porch also; overlooking the babbling brook. There is a nice view of the woods and longer range views during winter time.

Inside the living room you'll find a custom fireplace to keep you warm and toasty in cold weather, a vaulted ceiling, and a flat screen TV with cable. The modern bathroom includes a new extra large shower. The kitchen features new cabinets with custom granite counter tops. In spring millions of wildflowers bloom in the area and in the summer the rhododendron and mountain laurel bloom. Fall has cool nights and wonderful fall color that has been enjoyed for generations.

The master bedroom has a queen bed and 2nd bedroom has 2 twins.

10 Year Anniversary

We stayed for our 10 year wedding anniversary and had the most amazing, quite, peaceful stay! The hot tub along with the sound of the creek was beyond relaxing. The cabin was also amazing. Cute and comfortable. We will definitely be back!

We loved it! Cute home in quiet area. Perfect for writing!

Everything as expected. Was perfect for our writing weekend. Written directions to location would be helpful. It was dark amen we arrived. GPS did not work because of service and houses are not numbered in order. We finally find it but took us about 30 extra minutes.

The cabin was not cleaned. 😭

We arrived back at the cabin after going to the Flat Rock Playhouse around 11 PM. We got ready for bed and discovered that the beds were filthy. We had to stay up till 1 o’clock to wash the sheets. We had to mop and clean the entire cabin that night because the floors were also filthy. The walls had had hair and bugs on them. Apparently the people who stayed there before did not clean up nor did the maid service. We contacted management and they just said that they would watch it more carefully. So basically we had to pay a cleaning fee to clean the cabin twice. Once when we arrived and once when we left. Personally I don’t think they have anyone coming to clean the cabins, it appears they rely on the people who stay there to clean it. But they still charge a cleaning fee. We weren’t offered a discount or any break on the cleaning fees whatsoever. That will be the last time we stay at that Cabin. Poor management!!! So sad to have wasted our money on this place.

New Year Getaway

We enjoyed our weekend getaway to start the new year. I do feel that the cottage could use a deep clean. There was build up on fan blades, light switches, and baseboards. This did not affect our stay just an observation. Thank you for providing a great space for small families to enjoy and connect.
