Unique propert

Unique place and property. My husband and I met at a summer camp so it was a bit of nostalgia staying so close to a camp. Really enjoyed hiking the lookout trail and dining at the bush farmhouse. Black mountain was a great weekend trip.

Wonderful area.

The 62 acres is beautiful and great to hike around but confusing because you don't know whose property you might be on and there is no one to ask? Very private except for the maintenance dept was right behind the studio which would have been nice to know beforehand? No silverware, enough dishes or supplies.

Pleasant, but not so great

The location was great; an easy 15 highway drive without traffic to downtown and far enough away to be quiet. The grounds, landscape with lake and rolling hills was beautiful and peaceful (watch out for duck poop everywhere). The studio was quaint, but, we did not like that the shower is alone in one room, a toilet in another room and neither had a sink or mirror. Also, it was not as clean as depicted in the photos. The outside grill had been used and not cleaned with chunks of meat and grease throughout. The outside chairs and table were dirty.

Christmas with my son near Asheville

The property is a one-bedroom freestanding home (main room with fold-out futon), kitchen, and loft bedroom). It's fine for two adults, but would be pretty crowded with more than that. The setting is great, being located on a very pretty former summer camp with two small lakes, meadows, and lots of woods. This house is up on a hill, so very private. It was too cold to really enjoy the outdoors, but it is also very close to Asheville. We toured the Biltmore and also caught a movie in town. Everything was nicely decorated and in good condition.

Mostly As Advertised

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. A nicer mattress, new pillows, and some more comfortable furniture would go a long way to making it a 5 star stay. The pantry also lacked some essentials that make for a nice rental. It’s certainly a good location if you’re visiting Black Mountain and Asheville, but want to be off the beaten path.

Disliked: Location

Was Okay

All in all not bad, The stairs to the loft are pretty tough if you are up in age. The Blinds don't cover the whole window and leave a huge crack at the bottom for others to see in as well as one of the blinds were missing a shutter. The Furniture left a lot to be desired for comfort, Just never could get comfortable and you have to go get your own Fire wood from the storage place. There is no view of any kind and the Lake is nice if you just want to drive by and look at it, Cant do anything at the lake its private. Not really what we thought what we were getting but not a terrible stay..

Review

It was challenging to find actual property once we saw the mailbox. Better description to understand we were back between several other properties: this is on a camp with sign saying we need appointment, etc. no # actually marking house...had to pull up listing pic to see if we were at right place...verified by opening lockbox...could have been at wrong property with people at home. Soap & shampoo for people who fly; mention no TV...we didn’t care nor miss but I know people who would not be happy. Nightlight since circular stairs & no bathroom on bedroom loft. Leaving a light on downstairs was a bit bright.

Quite and Quaint little place

My husband and I love the place, our dog enjoy as well, everything we need were in place , at first my husband does not like it, he thought it was a little bit contemporary, he wanted more on a rustic side but the. He take his word back and expressed appreciation and even wanted to go back, yes we do love to go back again one day, for me it was beautiful quite place #serenity, highly recommended 👍 easy check in . We love it!

Beautiful Black Mountain getaway

Stayed in the studio at Lake Eden with my wife and 9 month old dog. We had an amazing stay. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. Between exploring the grounds to just hanging out on the back and making a fire, you will thoroughly enjoy this location.

Impressed and Satisfied

This was our annual 4th of July getaway and certainly glad we chose the Lake Eden property. We learned that the structure was originally used as a photography studio! This was well lit, private, and had all of the amenities required to feel comfortable and luxurious yet disconnected. We loved hiking the grounds and exploring the vast trails in the surrounding towns in Old Fort and Cawtaba Falls. From check- in to check out we were impressed with the e tire experience. Pat & Kyle

Lovely little getaway for my daughter, me and our pups!

Everything was wonderful! The cabin was so sweet and I absolutely loved how we were nestled in our own little forest! And thank you so much for being so dog friendly, my sweet boys had so much fun!
