We absolutely loved it here. We wanted a private Christmas getaway and this cabin in the woods was so perfect. Well off the beaten path, we had lots of peace and privacy. The cabin is very well appointed with everything you could possibly need plus it was spotless. Although we did not use the wood stove (it was 60 degrees on Christmas), the washer/dryer, grill or dishwasher, we did use the hot tub, microwave and oven and they worked perfectly. Even the master bed is an adjustable tempurpedic and very comfortable. The owner went above and beyond and decorated the cabin for us for Christmas - that was just such a nice surprise. One morning I opened the bathroom blinds and there were 4 deer within 8 feet just standing there looking at me thru the window. If you want a great little cabin in a gorgeous spot way out of the way but still easy to get to everything then this is the spot for you. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making our Christmas getaway so special!

We were a little confused when we arrived. We saw photos of what we thought was 2 bedrooms and a loft but there was only one bedroom and a loft.The photo of the main bedroom is taken numerous times with different bedding on it. The description does however say 2 bedrooms so that was on us. The road leading to the cabin is very secluded which is nice, but also a little rough and not paved, but most people that travel to the mountains regularly have come to expect that I think. Relaxing in the hot tub was nice! It was clean and well maintained.

Beautiful, secluded and peaceful spot. The cabin was clean, super-cozy and furnished with everything we needed. When something beyond his control went wrong, the owner went out of his way to fix it for us. If we visit Asheville again, we will book this place. Loved it.

The cabin was isolated and quiet, but not too far from Asheville and Pisgah forest. It had everything you need, including hot tub, grill, comfy beds and a full kitchen. The owner was a great communicator and very flexible. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cabin Retreat

The owners made this an easy time for a two night stay. The house was well equipped and we wanted for nothing except ice.The neighborhood was quiet, wooded and peaceful. The fire pit is situated in the front yard and there was plenty of firewood!We didn't have time to use the hot tub! The house is decorated so cute with a rustic design. The bed was super comfy. We would highly recommend this location if you are looking to get out of the rat race of the city as we were trying to do. (No icemaker

Peaceful little cabin!

Such a cute and cozy cabin in the woods! We saw a turkey, deer and lots of other wildlife. Great getaway just far enough from the city, but still close enough to all the local attractions. Asheville is still in recovery mode, but Hendersonville was such a cute town with lots of cool shops and restaurants. Hot tub was relaxing and we enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks for having us!
