Beautiful well appointed cabin

Beautiful cabin is nestled in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from everything. Home is comfortable and well appointed with every little detail for a comfortable weekend. Beds are comfortable, wifi is strong and floor plan is perfect for a family or two couples. We loved the cozy fireplace. Hosts were so kind by leaving is a bottle of wine and super responsive over text. Have shared the listing link with a few friends. Already planning our next trip!

What an Experience

Our experience at Dovetails was one for the record books. This is my second stay at Dovetails. Little did anyone know the power of Helene and the extent of the devastation that would result. We had so many plans to visit and exhibits at the Biltmore to see. We had the great pleasure of Dovetails for the first two days of our stay. It was perfect. However, once the threat of the storm became apparent, our host went to work to get all the facts surrounding its power from a friend who was a meteorologist! Our safety was her primary concern and with Dovetails being beautifully surrounded by trees, we discussed the advisability of our seeking safer accommodations to ride out the storm given the high winds that were expected as well as the loss of power. She said we could leave immediately not worrying about cleaning or changing sheets. Again, our safety was her primary concern. So we left in the nick of time for hotel reservations and spent the next several days in the Holiday Inn with no power, no internet or cell but we were safe! We were so blessed compared to the suffering that others endured as we have all seen in the news! We will forever be thankful for the quick action and support of our hosts!! I sincerely hope that Dovetails was not damaged . It is such a wonderful place . So, I will give our stay a perfect ratings and will return because Dovetails is a beautiful place and the area is so wonderful. Our prayers are with all of those who were impacted!

Beyond our Expectations

We have been visiting the Flat Rock/Hendersonville area for 30+ years and have stayed in many, many places but this was absolutely one of the best! The "cabin" is so much more than that. Perfectly laid out for 2 adult couples with 2 primary suites and attached bathrooms for total privacy. The woodsy setting, rustic furnishings and great deck make you feel you are tucked away in the woods but only short drives to terrific restaurants, the Flat Rock Playhouse, cute shops, walking trails and more. Our 2 week stay could not have been better. I would be remiss if I did not mention that the owners are unbelievably responsive and truly committed to making sure our needs were met and that our stay was better than expected. We love that they are lovers of dogs and made our Sadie and Cooper so welcomed. We will stay again if we return with friends.

Lovely Cabin, Lovely Town!

We enjoyed our stay at Dovetails, and highly recommend it to others as a clean, comfortable cabin in a quaint little mountain town. Its location is wonderful, as you are a short 3 minute drive to the Village of Flat Rock, and also very convenient to Hendersonville & Pisgah Forest, for hiking, tubing, waterfall explorations, and orchards galore! We loved being so close to everything. The hosts are kind and attentive, and you can tell they truly care about their guests and the property. Our experience felt warm & personal, and not corporate like some rentals can be. Flat Rock Village is adorable, the ambiance is beautiful, and the restaurants are all delicious! Our only minor disappointment was that we were under the impression that the cabin is “connected” to walking trails to town. It should be noted that the start of the trail is actually at the end of the road behind an apartment complex, and not actually on the property. It was a bit more of a walk than anticipated, so we opted to drive to town instead (mostly because of the rain). Not a big deal, but thought it should be noted. This cabin made it so easy to relax with our family for a peaceful vacation. It rained pretty much the entire 5 nights of our trip, and we still enjoyed our stay so much. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we are in the area!

Everything we could ask for and more!

This property was amazing and we will definitely be back! The location was wonderful. The property was clean and thoughtfully set up with all the extras. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels. Hairdryers in the bathrooms. Firewood stocked for the beautiful fire pit. Extra pet bowls for the dogs. My daughters (age 11 and 15) loved the screened in porch with string lights. We played card games and board games stocked in the living room (Man Bites Dog was such a hit we had to order one for our house!). We enjoyed the coffee table books (photo book with the dog photos was especially loved!). Very comfortable with easy access to everything. We walked into town through the trails to get breakfast. Can’t say anything negative. We will definitely rent again!

This home is ideal with all the amenities anyone could want.The home is settled among the trees and the privacy is wonderful eventhough it is in a conveniently located neighborhood. The unique architectural features throughout the home and the large fireplace are very cozy . It is convenient to the Flat Rock Playhouse which is a must do along with a visit to Carl Sandburg's home. I highly recommend this home

Peaceful retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. It is so quiet and peaceful that you feel far away from everything yet it is within 5 minutes of restaurants, shops and parks. It was very clean and our bed was super comfortable. We loved hanging out on the porches and listening to the sounds of nature. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful log construction, well appointed, home with great open decks and screened porches. Beautiful sitting room with vaulted ceiling.
