The space
This 700 square foot cottage has been completely remodeled and redesigned with an open floor plan, loft area, and a full kitchen and bath. It sleeps 2-4 people comfortably. Enjoy your morning coffee on the attached deck area and a relaxed mountain evening, sipping on a glass of wine while watching the fireflies. Cozy up by your own personal fire pit for a quiet evening in. Great for walking, jogging, and biking. The setting is quiet and feels somewhat remote, but you are not far from all that Saluda, Hendersonville, Tryon, Asheville, and Greenville have to offer.

Guest access
The cottage is equipped with a full kitchen, private bathroom, and deck area.
There is wifi but with the nature of the mountain location it is not always completely reliable depending on the weather.
Depending upon your service, wifi calling maybe helpful.

Other things to note
The main bedroom is equipped with a comfy king size bed. Loft area has 2 twin beds and a lounge chair.

Quaint and quiet

This cottage was perfect for our stay. The lake is 2 cottages away. Everything was clean and comfortable. There was enough room to setup our dogs crate and to fit 4 people comfortably.

Hurricane Helene Stay

Arrived Thursday late afternoon. By 7am next morning no power or water. Had to make all our food so it wouldn't go bad. Luckily, there was a charcoal grill and charcoal. We met the neighbors and cooked all the food and shared a meal together. On a positive note, we made new friends. That was the highlight. Bad went to worse and we finally left Saturday am to get out before we may have been stuck. I asked for a refund of the nights we couldn't stay and had no power and was told no but they would give us 2 nights free if we come back next year or in the future. Our plans did not work out, but that's life. Hopefully we can stay there next year if the event is on again in Saluda. Nothing wrong with the place, just a terrible situation with a flood not seen in 100 yrs. At least all of our other logging reservations were refunded due to the circumstances.

An Introverts 16th Birthday

My daughter turned 16 while we were staying at your property. Her request for her birthday was a trip to the mountains where she could hike and enjoy peace with her best friend. Your property fit the bill in every way. We enjoyed our stay very much. My daughter got exactly what she had asked for. Thank you.

Relaxing birthday getaway

Our birthdays are a week apart and fell on Fridays this year so we decided to take our dog and relax for week in the mountains. We had never been to Saluda and decided to give it a try. It was definitely a good decision as was the decision to book this VRBO. Our host was lovely, the cabin was charming and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will return.

Green Race Getaway

The cabin is very eye appealing and great for cozy conversation. Love the old doors repurposed and the ladder going up to the loft. We enjoyed our visit and felt that the renters used the space well and provided clear information on how to use heat, fan, etc The only possible improvements:The oven may not be true to temp settings. We had to go up to 450 to get casseroles heated completely and couldn’t find an oven mitt. Shower floors are hard to keep clean. That was the only thing I wished was cleaner. All small things that fade in comparison to the quaintness of the cabin.

Adorable cottage

The cottage is just gorgeous! Wrap a round porch, Firepit, and a short walk to Lake with paved trail around perimeter. The interior is very nicely decorated and cozy. The kitchen is very well appointed, bed is super comfortable. Altogether a great little home, just a few minutes drive to Black Mountain and surrounding hikes. Host was friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!

Peace and Quiet

My husband and I were looking for a quiet few days with access to walks in the woods and privacy. This was a great choice, comfortable bed, great shower, simple furnishings and fire pit. We walked thru Saluda and Hendersonville, hiked in the Pisgah National Forest. All short drive away. Plenty of restaurants from bbq to more upscale.

A True Happy Place

My breath was taken away when we got in the house, the pictures look exactly like it does in person. Its so quite (except the occasional rooster crow but it was really cute!) And so peaceful. My kids adored the lake and the fun lofts that were very comfortable. You cannot go wrong renting this place if you need some time away from the world.

Okay

I was there a very short time as I had to work but it was okay. Not horrible, not amazing. Small, but had everything we needed. There were some eyebrow raising charges to insurance after we left that was not brought to my attention. I was required to get the backup insurance and, oddly enough, it resulted in them being paid for an alarming amount of "damaged" items. They also "threw out" several of our items I tried to get back within a couple hours of check out that had been accidently left behind. Not the best experience. It is what it is.

Awesome location!

This is a super cute house, on a beautiful piece of land. There is a sweet pond just down the road. The beds were all very comfortable and everything was clean. I would definitely recommend this house, especially if you aren't dependent on internet. The internet really isn't dependable, so I would bring a book (or you could play the board games that are provided).
