We had an amazing stay! The home was perfect. Loved having 2 levels with great accommodations. Beyond comfortable. The area was great. The home is on a small mountain with gorgeous views. Plenty to do in the area and just down the road from the Blue Ridge Parkway and great hikes. We will definitely be booking again soon! Hosts were so lovely and communicated with us when we needed them.

Absolutely a 10/10. The pictures just don’t do this home justice. We had a very relaxing 4 day retreat here. The property is close to everything while giving you a very secluded feeling. We were surprised at the size of the home as well, much larger than anticipated. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. We’ll be staying again for sure!

So inviting & comfortable. We spent most of the time on the covered (deck) porch with ceiling fans in the butterfly forest. Adorable home with high-end finishes. The pics don’t do it justice. So close to town, yet far enough away. 4 stars

This house is perfect. Not too big or too small. It is secluded with an amazing back porch. Even with temperatures in the 90’s the temperature stayed 75 on the porch. Amazing views of the mountains and we saw bears from the porch everyday. We had everything we needed and the host is great. We will be coming back in the winter and falls months.

Charming, private cabin on a mountainside yet close to local attractions. We were greeted by wood thrush song and a bear sighting! The high back porch was the perfect spot for coffee, birdwatching, or a good book. Comfy bed, separate lower level we didn’t use also has outdoor access. Great spot!

Cozy spot in the hill

It was nice and cozy. It had everything we needed to accommodate our needs. It was human hair and dog hair in certain parts of the house. The owners communicated well. The biggest complaint we had was, no streetlights, and only one car up or down the road at one time. Overall, it was relaxing and we enjoyed it.

Great spot

Just what we were looking for. Quiet and in the woods, but very convenient to get to Asheville or Black Mountain. Comfortable and spacious, and we only used the upper floor. The kitchen is awesome. Great communication from Rodney answering questions I had. It pains me to give 5 stars only because I can't give 6. Will definitely be back.

You won’t be disappointed

We’ve been renting vacation homes for 40 years. This was hands down the cleanest!Also, this was the first time I didn’t regret not bringing my own knives. A nice selection of sharp knives and a knife sharpener are almost unheard of in rental properties. Additionally, the bedding was comfortable, the water was super hot, the covered deck was private, and the fenced backyard provided a worry-free place for our dogs to hang.The location is secluded enough that we sited a bear and wild turkey, yet it only minutes to a grocery store. True, the road is a bit rough, but it’s short, and post Helene, at least it’s very passable.Highly recommend this home!
