Gorgeous view
All the conveniences of home and perched high to afford a lovely view off of a wonderful deck. This was our second stay here and we love the location. Easy access to Pisgah and Dupont and amenities in nearby Etowah. Also Brevard is an easy drive as well. We will be back. Colleen is a helpful and thoughtful host.

Great stay at Serenade Cove
We had a great visit. The property is about 20 minutes away from both Looking Glass Rock & Triple Falls Trail which were both amazing. Looking Glass Rock was the more challenging of the two.The property itself has a small walking path around a pond. Walking down the driveway is also pleasant. The property location is great if your intention is going to trails and some breweries. Sierra Nevada and Oscar Blues are 20 minute drives as well (Oscar Blues is great to go to after Looking Glass). We (and our dog Finley) had a great time. The property was set up without many things he could get into mischief with. The bed was comfy. There was cable tv. The view from the porch was awesome but bring a heater in the winter! Definitely would consider booking this again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Snyder

Host profile image
We relocated to the mountains of western North Carolina in 2004 and bought the cabin and 6+ acres in 2006. It had been a long-time summer getaway for a family and was sorely in need of a makeover! We were able to refinish and keep the original pine floors but the entire home was gutted and remodeled. The layout was completely redesigned to allow for a comfortable, open floor plan and windows were added for more natural light. When the 15+ acres behind the property became available, we purchased it and opened up some old hiking trails that were overgrown. We purchased the 5+ acres with the pond below the cabin and built another larger vacation rental which is now available to rent: VRBO # 1551501.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting western North Carolina for years to hike and mountain bike. Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest are two of our favorite destinations. We feel fortunate to live in this area now and love sharing it with others.

What makes this property unique

Serenade Cove offers a hard-to-find combination of privacy and convenience. It is truly a cabin in the woods, and you feel like you are miles away from civilization, but you can grab some groceries or a pizza 5 minutes away in the small town of Etowah. You are also only 15-20 minutes from Hendersonville or Brevard, and 20 minutes from Sierra Nevada's east coast brewery, which we call Malt Disney World! Recent updates include new central heating & air, a newly paved driveway, a freshly painted interior, a whole-house water filtration system and a comfort-height toilet in the main level bath.
