Good Holiday Stay

The overall property is very nice. The owner greeted us on arrival to talk about the home and let us know if we needed anything to call.The kitchen is extremely well stocked with most anything you would need. The home is cozy and the beds are comfortable. The fireplace was a nice touch but the home was chilly I believe because of the high ceilings. The drive from the road is kinda long and slow because of ruts and uneven dirt road . You are definitely off the grid when staying here. Saw quite a few deer and the owners dogs came to visit for treats.

Peaceful Cottage Close to Hikes and Amenities

We stayed in the cottage with our young family of five (ages 2, 4, and 5) to visit friends in town over Thanksgiving and go hiking. There was plenty of space for us, inside and out. The cottage was cozy, kitchen fully equipped, beds were comfy, showers were hot, and heat was warm - what more could you ask for? The location was good for us - the property is about a 30 minute drive to our favorite hikes in Pisgah, and Dupont is not far at all. The property is beautiful and secluded, but also not too far from amenities like Ingles. Brian was friendly, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. Our kids also loved visiting with the friendly dogs on the property that would fun down to say hi.

Summer Escape to NC

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is furnished beautifully and well stocked for all your needs. It is located about 15 minutes from Hendersonville and about half hour from Brevard. It is very peaceful and private, and located on a long private gravel road/driveway. Close to hiking, golf, wineries, breweries, waterfalls!

Peaceful Long Weekend at the Cottage

Husband and I spent a long weekend here for a short mtb trip. Proximity to riding/hiking trails is amazing and the property and cottage were great. So peaceful, clean, one of the most completely stocked places we’ve ever stayed. We couldn’t have been happier. Our border collie had a great time on the property too. Would absolutely recommend.

My wife and I loved staying here with our two dogs! The host was very friendly and had great recommendations and his dogs were super friendly with us and our dogs. It was also nice being ~50 min from Asheville - close enough but still made us feel like we were escaping into the woods. Absolutely recommend staying here!

A wonderful property with a very responsive host.

It is a beautiful fully equipped, safe, spacious and clean cabin. Very close to downtown Asheville but in the quiet country. Host went above and beyond. We had two small kids and a small dog with us and enjoyed the property very much. The land around the house is also very well kept and lovely. Would definitely consider staying again.

Nice quiet place!

Really nice place off the beaten path but not hard to get to and not far from town. It’s very dog-friendly and a great place for your pups to roam and explore. Neighbor dogs Ozzy and Wren might come visit too. They are super sweet and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we need a place in the Hendersonville area!

We enjoyed staying here while I attended an event at the Kanuga Conference Center. The cabin is about two miles from Kanuga. It’s close to all the eateries and other amenities in Hendersonville and Flat Rock. The house is comfortable and well stocked. If we return to the area we would stay here again.

Peaceful and beautiful stay!

This property was one of the most comfortable I’ve stayed in. The house had everything you could possibly need, including high quality bedding and linens and a fully stocked kitchen! The rooms and bathrooms were spacious, and the outdoor decks and fire pit were amazing! No one ever passed on the private road other than the host, who was super helpful and accommodating. If you want updated, tasteful accommodations combined with the sounds, vibes, and natural beauty of a rural setting, all 15 minutes from most everything, this place is for you!

We so enjoyed this house! Not only did we have everything we needed, our dogs were welcome too! It’s hard to find a reasonably priced place that doesn’t have a thousand rules about what the dogs can and can’t do and where they can go and can’t go, so this rental was a gift to us. We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday and to have early Mother’s Day. We hope to come back soon!

Beautiful Peaceful Mountain Retreat

This property is outstanding. Very clean, comfortable and has everything you could want. The hosts are wonderful. Friendly, helpful but not intrusive. When you stay here you feel like you’re home. The entire property is beautiful and available to guests for walks with dogs. Host dogs Ozzie and Wren are super friendly. Our dogs got along great with them. When we come back to NC this is where we will stay. One caution; make sure your vehicle can handle a steep gravel driveway and parking area. Our Subaru SUV was fine.
