Great place to stay

I loved loved loved staying at the pottery cabin for my weekend getaway! The pottery lesson was amazing ( plus we get to pick colors to have it glazed and then sent to us ) and the overall vibe was very homey. It was my first time planning a trip like this and im already thinking about my next time coming and staying at the Pottery. 10/10 experience.

Great Experience

The Pottery cabin was a great place to stay. Loved the way it was decorated, it felt like a home away from home. The hosts were great. We loved the pottery lesson. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay.

Beautiful cottage and great hosts

We were totally impressed with everything about our stay. The cottage was beautiful and very cozy. The hosts were great. The cottage was set with anything one could want. The pottery session was one of the highlights of our entire vacation. I can honestly say this was our favorite VRBO EVER!!!!

Beautiful cabin in beautiful Leicester, NC!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Potters Cabin! The hosts, Doc and Melanie made sure that every possibility necessity was at hand. We were greeted with a note, a bottle of wine and homemade baked goods! The cabin is charming and well equipped. It even has a small stable and two horses. We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable and relaxing stay!

Cozy Cabin in the Woods

We absolutely loved our stay at the Pottery Cabin! There are sweet thoughtful touches throughout the cabin to make your stay more comfortable. We came to explore Asheville but our time at the cabin was the highlight of our trip. Melanie is so sweet and fun to talk to. Doc was patient and helpful during our pottery lesson. My brother-in-law left wanting to take up pottery as a hobby! Thanks Doc and Melanie for your hospitality!

Amazing stay

Wow! This is a truly incredible stay. Melanie and Doc have made a beautiful home filled with so many personal touches. Spending time in the studio with Doc was such a treat. The cabin is private, thoughtfully stocked with everything you may need, and a convenient 25 minute drive to Asheville. I can’t wait to come back.

Mountain Getaway

Fantastic accommodations, the amenities and the little extras that Doc and Melanie put out were over the top. We've stayed at a lot of places but never any place that we felt as welcomed as at the Pottery Cabin. The pottery lesson was a nice touch too. Talk peace and seclusion and comfort, it is all there. You owe to yourself to try this one, plus your only a short drive from most all attractions.

Weekend Mountain Getaway

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at the Pottery Cabin. Everything was very clean and the host went above and beyond for us. Also, the complimentary pottery class was a lot of fun. The location to downtown Asheville was great as it was only a quick 30 minute drive. The only thing that I would say to be aware of is the size of the driveway can make parking large trucks/SUVs a little challenging.

Best Experience

This is the best experience I ever had staying in a vacation home. The hosts are amazingly talented, and that enhances the entire experience. They generously shared their local honey, food, and even a drink. The horse and mini horse are welcoming. The pottery on sight is fantastic! I would advise the parking and driveway are tight. Don't plan on driving a sports car up there. This is a place we will choose to visit again.

Mountain Top Getaway

We loved everything about our stay at the Pottery Cabin. We felt so blessed to enjoy a colorful display of fall leaves and the peace of actually hearing them fall! We were welcomed by a bottle of wine local honey, a mug, and blueberry muffins. Fresh flowers on the table, handcrafted local soap, handmade pottery dishes, and a huge stock of firewood for the firepit were just a few of the special touches we enjoyed. Our pottery lesson with Doc was fantastic, we loved petting the horses, and Melanie gave us great ideas of local things to explore (goat farm, farmers market, Cider tap room, etc). Our beds were comfy and the cabin was well stocked (minimal cookware if you plan to eat in, but we got along). This is a beautiful remote location, the hosts are lovely and very respectful of your privacy. My 80 year old mother, my sister and, I all had a wonderful stay! Note: The driveway is steep - our minivan could not make it to the top, which required a steep walk from car to cabin. If your vehicle isn't equipped for the mountain, bring a cart to haul your stuff - we were happy to have one!
