This sweet, cozy cabin is perfect for couples, and the owners thought of everything. The queen bed is super comfy, and the generously-sized shower was perfect. The kitchen has a full size oven, gas grill and all the small appliances you'd need. The view across the pond, with green pastures and adjacent mountains is very idyllic and relaxing. Donna was a wonderful host, very attentive and responsive to any question we had. As former Vrbo hosts ourselves, we understand how important communication is, and we were very pleased with our stay!! Thanks for everything, Donna!!

Truly one of the nicest places we have stayed! Perfect for a couple wanting a lovely relaxing holiday. We rode mountain bikes daily at nearby Bent Creek. Enjoyed wonderful microbrews in Asheville and relaxed daily in the hot tub. Our hosts were so thoughtful and made the stay so nice. The cabin is clean, private and well situated. The view from the porch is worth the stay! A place we hope to visit again.

Beautiful country setting, owner wrote sweet note and welcome sign and had little touches like, teas, local beers, and fresh flowers. Would have been better if we had arrived during the day, hard to see and steep dropoff hard for large extended handicap van to turn around, but was fine in the morning. Only caught one bluegill, maybe next time earlier in the year.

Great experience, AGAIN! Our second visit to this property and it will not be the last. Yeah, the size and activity of fish we caught wasn’t as exciting as our first visit June of ‘24 but still good. Had a duck hop up in the bank behind the cabin. 4 deer were seen playing in the shallow end of the lake. Even had a Black Bear visit this time. Seemed to like the smell from grilling steaks the night before. Donna and Curtis are very hospitable, responsive and relatable. Definitely recommend!

A Piece of Heaven

Cozy cabin with a spectacular view overlooking a private lake and rural countryside. My husband and I fished in the lake, hiked on their property and relaxed in the hot tub. Donna and Curtis were amazing hosts! They offered great suggestions for fun things to do in the area. We couldn't have asked for a more awesome, romantic getaway! We will definitely be back!

Loved the cabin. Secluded yet easy to get to and close to many local attractions. Quick response to questions before and during stay. Fishing is great on the pond! I will definitely recommend staying here for single travelers or couples looking to get away from the chaos of everyday life. Sitting on the screened porch at night listening to the frogs was super relaxing. Hot tub was GREAT!
