Excellent Stay!

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at the Loverly. It was a little anniversary getaway for us and could not have been better. The accommodations were wonderful and the privacy of the location of the house was great. We will definitely be back for another stay.

Relaxing Anniversary Getaway

The Loverly checked all of the boxes for our anniversary getaway. Brea is a delight, and very thorough! Her cottage is cozy, and the setting is so peaceful. The bed is amazingly comfortable, and the kitchen is very well stocked. Tip: Be sure to hit the grocery prior to arriving. We were happy to have one chilly morning to enjoy our coffee and reading by the fireplace. We enjoyed hiking nearby, visited Brevard, Black Rock Mountain and Asheville. The gravel road was our only concern with our trip. We met quite a few work trucks while coming and going and had to back up & find a safe place to pull off for them to pass each time. Future travelers should be aware and use caution.

Wonderful, peaceful, relaxing

We enjoyed 3 nights at the Loverly. The home is beautiful, clean, and very welcoming! The peace and quiet of the remote location was a nice contrast to the busy atmosphere of downtown Asheville, which is a very convenient distance away. We had an unfortunate mishap with the oven, but Brea was very understanding and easy to communicate with. We have added the Loverly to our list of places we must return to as soon as possible!

Perfect Relaxing Retreat

Everything was perfect until we had to leave this little oasis right before Hurricane Helene whipped through the area. It was a dissappointing decision to make since we still had so much remaining on our to-do list. The house lived up to its Loverly name and was a love nest in every aspect. Now, we pray for the kind people of Ashville. God bless you, Brea and David.

Peaceful escape in nature

The property has everything you need and Brea is more than helpful and available to help make your stay perfect. We enjoyed the large trees, the sounds of nature, the fireplaces and the hottub. The location is great, between Lake Lure and Asheville, which is right where we wanted to be to hike and explore. We loved the wine place right in Fairview, Rooted in Wine, along with Hickory Nut Gap to get fresh, local meat to grill. The only warning is that it is a tough driveway to get up. We had a small rental SUV and we couldn't get up the driveway going forward. Thankfully, my husband grew up in the mountains so he backed up the driveway each time and it wasn't a problem. Other than that, it's just a bit further from everything to go down the slow, dirt road, but we didn't mind that. We wanted the more remote feel. We would definitely stay again if back in the area!

Relax and Rejuvenate

Relax in the bubbling hot tub as the wind blows through the trees and the birds sing. Enjoy a quiet moment in the gazebo while warming by the gas fireplace. Sleep as if you are floating on a cloud in the zero-gravity bed while the moon gazes down on you from the sky light. Experience glamping with all the comforts and conveniences of a luxury vacation.

Honeymoon Stay at The Loverly

The Loverly is such a beautiful place to stay! Pictures didn’t do it justice! Up in the mountains, you may want to make sure your car has 4 wheel drive, but it was perfect! My husband and I stayed there for a week in June for our honeymoon. About half an hour from town it’s a convenient location. Brea is an amazing host! She is super great with communication and provides so many suggestions on things to do during your stay. Check in and check out are seamless and if her instruction book leaves room for any questions you may have, just give her a call or text and she’s able to help! Definitely would stay here again if back in the Asheville area!

Great Escape

The property exceeded what we had anticipated. Everything, furniture, silverware, cutlery, dishes, pots and pans were of high quality. The tv and dvd player were easy to operate and there was not enough time to screen all the dvd's provided. The bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. The cleanliness and decor of the property were impeccable and check-in and out were seamless, as well as the ease of communication with the owner. This is a highly recommened property not to be missed. We will be revisiting.

A Lovely Secluded Area

If you like a secluded area, like we do, this cottage is ideal. The surrounding woods are lovely and quiet. The interior was very clean, with lots of windows to view the trees. There was a stale smoke odor from the fireplace, but most days we were able to open the windows. The shower is very small, but manageable with some care. The outdoor spaces could have been cleaner, for our taste. Brea, the host, is very engaged and helpful. The wifi was steady both up and down stairs. The kitchen was nicely equipped for cooking for two (which we did most days), with good knives and only lacking a good frying pan (the ones on hand should have been retired). All in all, a good spot with a good host.

Incredibly professional and cozy, small inconvenient quirks.

My wife and I had a great time here on our honeymoon. The property was very clean and Brea was great to work with. There were just a few inconveniences: the driveway was quite steep and filled with potholes, there were a ton of remotes to keep track of (5 in the bedroom alone), and the website said there were no cooking seasonings, which we planned on, but there was plenty of salt and pepper and olive oil from past guests, which would have been nice to know. Overall really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property to any of our friends and family, just had some small quirks!
