What a gem of a property, especially for the great price! It’s a beautiful, peaceful rural mountain setting, yet it is only a 5-minute drive from I-26 and an easy trip to Asheville. My city kids loved seeing turkeys, deer & frogs. We enjoyed dining and shopping in Mars Hill. The cabin was spotless and well-equipped. Excellent shower and kitchen! Strong wi-fi! And plenty of living space and deck to spread out. We visited on a very rainy weekend but would love to return to fish and wade in Ivy Creek in fairer weather.

Great place on the river. Just what we needed. Kitchen was wonderful. Deck was expansive. The driveway was a little tricky for us out of towners. But lovely place! We enjoyed our time.

Great rental. Quiet area. Near Ashville and other interests. We were there fly fishing and it is a central location to many productive trout streams. Thanks

The cabin is off the beaten path. But close enough to get to Asheville within 20 minutes. Grocery shopping is close by. The peacefulness of the river was very very nice. The hosts are very nice.

Perfect loft by the river

Our family (dog included) stayed at the loft for the Christmas holiday. Everything we needed was available for us during our stay. We will definitely come back to visit, hopefully when the weather is warmer.

Beautiful and cozy

We enjoyed staying at The Loft for a quick family getaway. The host were gracious and the property was beautiful and cozy! The river running behind the property was our favorite place to enjoy everything that nature had to offer at the location! Will definitely return in future.

Best Place Yet

We have explored quite a number of places in North Carolina, and this was the very best we have found! Super clean, perfectly located, an oasis for the soul! The place feels like home, and the scenery is breathtaking. We will be returning time after Time!

Excellent weekend getaway

My family made a last minute decision to have a mountain weekend and go snow tubing. The house was perfect for this. The home is super clean and located in a nice quiet area and proximity to Ivy Creek was awesome. Would love to come back and try trout fishing in the creek.

We had one of the most memorable times of our lives! Me and a childhood friend reconnected while disconnecting from the rat race! Having no TV was just what we needed! We fished the Ivy and landed a few! The host was incredibly hospitable! Thanks Sarah!
