Winter getaway

We had a fabulous time at the house. The drive was not bad, roads paved and not too steep. The kids had a wonderful time playing ping pong everyday. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you need. Beautiful winter views off the back porch. The owners are very communicative and available for any questions. The house is very comfortable and cozy. We would love to come back for another visit in the future.

Beautiful mountain retreat

Hiker's Haven is an exceptionally beautiful home. The lounge, kitchen, and dining area are bright and open, with huge windows that look out on the trees and mountains. Shelley and Duane were wonderful hosts, offering plenty of suggestions for nearby hikes, places to eat, and other attractions. And the house was well situated - up in the mountains, but a 15 minute drive to Black Mountain (which is a lovely town) and 30 minutes to Asheville. We would happily return and recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful tranquility

Hiker’s Heaven is a beautiful house in a quiet gated community but closed to town, Asheville, and hiking trails. House is very clean. Kitchen has everything we need for cooking and baking. We stayed for 10 nights. We were there for work/vacation. When people saw me where I was via Zoom, they all commented on how beautiful the house and the view. We enjoyed sitting out at deck every evening with fire pit turn on, having beers or wines and watching the moon rise. Shelly was wonderful hostess and very quick to answers questions. I highly recommend Hiker’s Heaven.

Great house and owners!

Beautiful mountian view and the best stocked kitchen and supplies I’ve even seen in a rental. House was very clean too. Had a few small issues on arrival and owners promptly fixed them. Would definitely rent again!
