My wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary, and our other plans fell through. We were looking for a private isolated spot in the mountains and found this house. We made a last minute request and were approved. This cabin was perfect for us! Quiet, cozy, hot tub, fire pit. Everything we love. It was perfect for us to unwind, relax and enjoy each other. Max Patch is close and a great easy hike to enjoy panoramic views of the mountains. Highly recommend. Thanks to the host for letting us stay last minute.

Stay at Basil Patch
We had a great short visit at this property. Two of my kids are hiking the Appalachian Trail and two of us flew down to meet them and give them a break. Very comfortable house for 4. The hot tub was a welcome amenity. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots/pans, glasses etc. As described, the property is very remote. It was a 25 minute drive into Hot Springs to get my kids from the trail and deliver them back to it. If I needed to be back in that area of the country, I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect, peaceful mountain retreat
The Basil Patch was wonderful and I can't wait to return! The home is absolutely lovely and cozy. It's clean, decorated so tastefully, and beyond comfortable. The living room has the most comfortable sofa ever (didn't want to leave it!) and a nice TV. The kitchen is well appointed with dishes, cookware, and appliances. The bed was ultra comfy. The bathroom was perfect with an amazing, spacious shower. My favorite part was the screened in porch. I spent most of my time there lounging on the sofa, reading, and staring at the beautiful fall leaves. There is also a large portion of the porch that is not screened in with lots of chairs. The hot tub and fire pit were also quite enjoyable for even more relaxation.
Alex was always quick to respond to my questions and gave great advice about the area. Pay attention to the advice to bring things you need (food, supplies, etc.) as the closest shopping is about 25-30 minutes away. If you plan ahead and bring what you need, it's not even an issue!
The cottage is in the mountains and you take some windy, hilly roads to get there. Just take your time and it's super easy to navigate!
It was fun to take a trip into Hot Springs and visit Big Pillow Brewing, which Alex recommended. Great beer and tacos, and a fun outdoor space with mountain views.
If you want to spend time in quiet, peaceful place that's a bit 'off the grid' and completely surrounded by trees and nature, The Basil Patch is perfect. Exactly what I hoped for when I booked it.
Thanks to the great hosts! Hope to visit again soon!

Away from it all but close to so much!
This property is situated so that you feel like you’re away from the speed of usual life. You’re even up the hill from a beautiful waterfall. It’s also a day trip from much to see, Asheville, Max Patch, Pisgah National Forest and Great Smokey Mountain National Park to name a few. It’s also nice to relax cooking family meals in the well appointed kitchen or sitting on the screened in porch with a good book. Lovely place!

Just right
We had a great stay. The house is recently renovated, very comfy, cozy and well-appointed. Everything we needed was right there. The big deck, screened-in porch and hot tub are awesome. It's very private and isolated. Almost a treehouse vibe, with trees surrounding the property. It was an all around great experience.
