Wonderful, private stay in the mountains!

I cannot recommend Rovers Retreat enough!! The cabin was perfect, very cute, with very comfortable amenities and everything that we needed for our stay. The property is absolutely beautiful with an incredible view right out the front door. We loved sitting at the picnic table, in the Adirondack chairs, and around the fire pit. My kids loved the hammock and swing, too. There are so many great places to hike and explore nearby - definitely recommend Rainbow Falls. The owner was just wonderful, very communicative, kind, and helpful! Our dogs had the best time ever and we're so happy to come along! The fenced in property gave them plenty of room to roam. You won't regret staying here!

Perfect Retreat

This was the perfect retreat for us and for our dogs after the hurricane in Asheville. Kim knew we did not have water and were looking for a break for a couple of days to take showers and to do laundry. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. The property was amazing, allowing us a break while allowing our dogs to roam. Just what we needed and they absolutely loved it. We could not have chosen a better location.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Where to start.... First of all this property is one of a kind and exceeds the description and pictures. The hosts were extremely helpful and made us feel like family. Given the recent devastation of Hurricane Helene we were concerned about traveling but Kim and Brad were communicative and helped to put all our fears at ease. The cabin is extremely clean, grounds well maintained, and the amenities unmatched. Our 3 year old Shepadoodle had the time of his life, as did we! We are already thinking about our next trip and you should too!!

Heaven on Mountain Top

Our stay was 10/10. The cabin is adorable and very comfortable. The view is magnificent. Such a pleasure to sit outside by the fire pit and watch the moon rise over the mountains. A huge plus for us was the entire property being fenced. This allowed our hounds to run and sniff freely. We have already booked another stay.

Love Rover's Retreat!!!

This is such a peaceful place to visit with dogs. The view is amazing, the house and yurt are small but perfectly laid out and equipped. Our dogs LOVED the yard. We loved the location and easy access to hiking, restaurants, a couple of cute towns, and mountain lakes. We absolutely plan to return next summer!

Cool and dry air at 4,000 ft was a respite from where we live. Quiet and peaceful, we enjoyed looking at the views every day. One suggestion, would be to change the lock on basement door.

Incredible location!

The phots and description does not do this place justice. It was well stocked and very clean. It is a simple cabin that has been created to allow for total relaxation. Has a lovely firepit with chairs to relax qnd enjoy the mountain view. Even if it rains the chairs on the porch make it perfect to curl up and listen. Our 1 year old pup absolutely loved being able to run and play and chase down her ball or Frisby.

Great spring getaway

Like another reviewer said, pictures for the listing can't convey the spectacular long-range views or the privacy this cabin affords. We brought our two high-energy bernedoodles and they loved the fenced acre. As amateur escape artists, they inspected every inch of fence, and can confirm it is secure! Listing for the cabin and yurt are accurate - cabin is small, but lovely. Yurt was super cute and fun, but we came during an unseasonable cold snap with lows below freezing and the cabin was more comfortable for sleeping, as one would expect. Little porch outside the yurt was great to relax on in the evenings with the solar lights despite the cold. Tons of available firewood for the firepit was nice touch as well. Could use a refresh on the skillets for the kitchen in the cabin, but everything else was in good working order and easy to use. Games and puzzles available for those rainy days were fun - we're now on a mission to find National Park Monopoly for ourselves. Beautiful sunrise over the mountains to wake up to. All in all, a great trip and would definitely book again.

Best Getaway

My husband and I were excited to spend the weekend close to Cashiers for our first getaway since having a baby. We took our two big dogs with us and Rovers Retreat could not have been more perfect! The cabin is clean, spacious, and cozy. The yard was amazing for our dogs and even though it was freezing, we loved hanging out by the fire. Also, the location is so central to fun spots like downtown Cashiers and hiking in Panthertown. We will 100% be back!!!

This is the second year in a row that my husband and I plus our two dogs have stayed at Rovers Retreat and we loved it just as much the second time around. Cozy cabin furnished with all the necessities and a spacious fenced in yard for our dogs to run and play. Beautiful view of the mountains out back while sitting by the firepit. Feels secluded but is only minutes from town. Kim is great and very responsive, I would highly recommend!

I was very stressed as I have an anxious, curious pup, but this was amazing! It is completely fenced in and the cabin is so cozy.

If I find myself in Glenville again, no question I will be staying here. (side note: the property owner is super nice and has quick response times)
