Beautiful, secluded and peaceful spot. The cabin was clean, super-cozy and furnished with everything we needed. When something beyond his control went wrong, the owner went out of his way to fix it for us. If we visit Asheville again, we will book this place. Loved it.

We were a little confused when we arrived. We saw photos of what we thought was 2 bedrooms and a loft but there was only one bedroom and a loft.The photo of the main bedroom is taken numerous times with different bedding on it. The description does however say 2 bedrooms so that was on us. The road leading to the cabin is very secluded which is nice, but also a little rough and not paved, but most people that travel to the mountains regularly have come to expect that I think. Relaxing in the hot tub was nice! It was clean and well maintained.

Peaceful little cabin!

Such a cute and cozy cabin in the woods! We saw a turkey, deer and lots of other wildlife. Great getaway just far enough from the city, but still close enough to all the local attractions. Asheville is still in recovery mode, but Hendersonville was such a cute town with lots of cool shops and restaurants. Hot tub was relaxing and we enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks for having us!

Sharon and I were both born and raised in this area. We have either lived in this cabin or next door for the past 35 years. We've raised 3 kids, with two still in college. We own two businesses in the area, plus this cabin.

Why they chose this property

Relaxation is the key to any good vacation. This place has plenty of that!

What makes this property unique

Seclusion. On any given day you will have 5-10 deer walk through your front yard. The Brevard area which is 15 minutes away is home of the white squirrels and abundant waterfalls. . We have a family of white squirrels on the mountain. Be on the lookout while you are here. Wild turkey abound all over the mountain. All of this and you still can be to the grocery store or airport in less than 10 minutes...
