Overall it was a very nice weekend. The host was accessible, the cabin was clean, and the welcome goodies and note were so sweet. The hot tub could have used a good clean and the bed was firmer than we're used to, but my favorite spot was on the back porch. Even with it being cold, we spent a majority of our time outside because it was so peaceful.

The host was extremely welcoming. They left us a welcome basket, a folder full of information about what to do, see, and where to eat. The host was also very easy to contact if we needed anything. It was a very cozy experience for us and we would love to stay there again if we find ourselves in Asheville in the future.

Cabin was clean, tidy, and cozy in a quiet and picturesque mountain setting. All of the necessary amenities were available for a weekend stay. We also enjoyed soaking in the hot tub and catching fish in the pond. We did not feel like venturing out much on this trip, but Asheville and other local towns with shops and dining were a short distance away. Hosts were very nice and made us feel welcomed but were not intrusive at all. We will certainly be back!

Wonderful peaceful location, perfect little getaway cabin with a wonderful view. The hot tub was excellent and everything was very clean. Only recommendation would be a curtain or something on the back side of the deck where the back neighbor overlooks the hot tub/deck. Otherwise very private. Would love to come back!
