We really enjoyed our stay. The area was quiet and the home was comfy and had everything we needed. The host was incredibly helpful answering our questions as we approached our stay.
This property was perfect for a weekend get away to Brevard and Henderson. Pisgah national forest was beautiful and the house was perfectly set up for mountain biking.

Cozy Cottage
All the comforts of home set in a natural environment surrounded by serenity and warmth.
The house is perfect and Bass Lake Dr is a gem up on the mountain. It provided an amazing home base away from home and the scenery is beautiful. The owners are amazing people who went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. We can’t wait to come back.
We have a home in Asheville and it was rented and we couldn't stay there so we picked this property for our weekend trip. Easy to find, very clean, exactly as described. We enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it.

Great place
We rented this place for the 3rd time. We love it. Very functional and centrally located to Brevard, Hendersonville, the Pisgah Forest and the DuPont Forest. With all the hikes, and all the options for nearby restaurants and for breweries in Mills River, the place is the best location. We really enjoy going there.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay here, it was perfect for a spring mountain bike trip. The house was comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the after a long day of riding
This property is comfortable and clean, very well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Listing says “secluded” - we didn’t feel it was in a secluded location. Overall a great place though!

A Perfect Cottage
Perfect cottage with everything that we'll thought of by the owners. Loved the fire pit nights with grilling on the Weber. Very comfy beds and plenty of linens. All was Super Clean!!!!!
The house was lovely and well appointed. The deck was a big hit with everyone and provided hours of bird watching. This was our first Vrbo experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Next time we'll planning a longer stay!
Modern and very clean, nicely decorated. We enjoyed the location and proximity to the outdoor activities hiking and biking at Dupont and Pisgah and Brevard. Deck with secluded private space was great. Highly recommended !
Nice house, very clean. Kitchen has all the essentials, plenty of towels in the bathroom …. Great plus for us.
Well decorated, we used the outdoors grill one night while enjoying the views and sipping some wine after 5 hours of mountain biking in DuPont Park….
We had a wonderful time !!!!
Neighborhood was not what we expected but we rarely saw anybody. Bed was super comfortable. Close proximity to everything we had planned. Clean with everything we needed.
House was well appointed, updated, comfortable beds. You will need a SUV or truck to get up the last part of the driveway. Close to several waterfalls and dinner options in Brevard. Loved it!

Thank you for your feedback and 5-star review. We are sorry for your experience with the road. Attempts have been made for temporary repairs but large amounts of rain undo them. More permanent repairs are underway with ditching and scraping. We have made improvements to our driveway to provide access for smaller cars. Thank you for your comment and please stay with us again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this comfortable, semi-secluded home. Well-appointed, just the right size for our family (two adults and teenager). Beautiful backyard/deck area. Lots of trees and mature landscaping. Had all we needed to cook at home. Great nearby waterfall trails. And just about 45 mins to Asheville. Also very friendly and responsive property manager. We would definitely recommend this lovely vrbo!
The house was perfect size for two in a quite hilltop community. Had a great time exploring the small towns around Asheville this time . Loved Black Mountain, Brevard and Chimney Rock. Saw a bunch of white squirrels in the area also . Learned that 20% of the squirrels in the area are white. Would recommend this house and area to anyone
The house is exactly as described, well-furnished and comfortably furnished. The only concern was inability to contact the property manager using the information provided: Had we encountered problems with the rentail (which we didn't), we were concerned that we would have been left on our own to resolved them.
