The hot tub was very enjoyable as was the front porch. The roads getting to the house are well kept and flat. The house has a strong musty odor.

The whole area, the house, and the yard are all super nice. We really enjoyed our stay. I don't believe we needed anything that wasn't available in the home.We brought our dogs with us, so they also had a great time. The fence around the property is not flush to the ground and not terribly tall and it's farm fencing, so bendable. I have one escapist dog. I watched her like a hawk while we were outside and she didn't make it out, but if you also have an escapist, I think it wouldn't take but 15-30 seconds to make it through the fence.Stargazing was lovely. There are so many stars. We even saw whisps of the Milky Way, though the tree line obscured a lot of it. It really is a lovely home in a lovely area.

About the host

Hosted by Tori Delaney

Host profile image
We live in and love these mountains and enjoy spending time outdoors whenever we can. As a family-owned property, we value connection and creating authentic, memorable experiences for our guests.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area for its peaceful mountain setting and sense of seclusion. Life here moves at a slower, more intentional pace, and the surrounding community is friendly and welcoming.

What makes this property unique

The cottage offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and convenience. Set on a large property with peaceful surroundings, it feels quiet and tucked away while still being just a short drive from Asheville.

Guests often enjoy the natural beauty of the area, with abundant wildlife, seasonal wildflowers, and memorable evenings watching fireflies, deer, and the night sky. Features like the hot tub overlooking open land, fenced yard, fire pit, and wraparound porch create a relaxing experience that’s hard to find in one place.
