Our stay

My husband and I absolutely loved the cabin. The view at night as well as during the day was breathtaking. Due to staying on the 4th of July weekend, we had the awesome experience of viewing fireworks all around us. We loved it! Definitely going to return.

Fabulous serene equipped w absolutely. Kim is Terrific, EVERYTHING you would need is already there!

I cannot talk this place up enough. Kim, the landlord is Johnny on the spot if you need anything. However, the cabin has everything crockpot, electric skillet, wok, plenty of Tupperware, mixer, cheese grater—in the kitchen great knives, just fantastic.

Stay near Asheville

This was a gorgeous location, close to but not in Asheville. Small place, but adequate for our needs. Clean, well appointed, and the owner was very responsive. Evenings on the porch were sublime. We would stay again!

Perfect retreat in the mountains.

This property is exactly as advertised. Cute cabin on a fishing pond, my daughter had a blast pulling out sunfish all day. Very quiet area and still close proximity to Asheville, shopping, hiking, ziplines, breweries. Best of both worlds! Saw a hot air balloon going through the valley one morning and then got 4th of July Fireworks at night, lots of wildlife to boot. Overall special experience. The host is extremely responsive to any questions.

Ahhhh....so peaceful 😌

Enjoyed the peace and quiet. My husband and I enjoyed being so close to the pond and being able to fish whenever we wanted. My family and I enjoyed watching the dragonflies and the butterflies flying near the edge of the pond. Beautiful! Cozy house. Very small but sufficient. No doors on the bedrooms, just curtains. I made our meals while we were there and had to adapt a bit when using the kitchen. No plates that I could see. Glad I thought to grab paper plates last minute or we would have had to eat out of the pans. No food wrap, tin foil or plastic wrap at all. But we made it! We just found other solutions! Loved the cute little stove! Very nice, calm, relaxing, couple of days. Didn't have to contact the owner at all as everything was explained well in the emails and we had no problems. Easy to find and checking in was a breeze. Glad we were able to book it on a short notice. Really enjoyed our stay! Thank you for sharing your home!

Perfect place to unplug!

This was a bit of a girls trip for my daughter & I. I wasn't prepared for how far out in the country we would be but it was absolutely beautiful. The setup was beyond my expectations and Kim was very attentive and understanding. She even adjusted our stay after our flight got canceled. Rest assured we will be back!

Perfect romantic get away!

My boyfriend and I chose the spot because of the amazing views that this cabin offers. The scenery the mountains and the water right in front of the cabin is amazing I couldn’t have imagined spending in a more romantic spot! The view at night of the incredible stars was incredible! The cabin also had lights on it and it made it feel like it had a touch of Christmas as well! The fire pits made the cabin amazing! The perfect get away!

Mountain getaway

This lil place was spectacular. It had everything you could ask for from a quaint little cabin with a wood burning wood stove to its very own pond with a family of geese. It was very clean and very well stocked with everything you might need even had a variety of k cups for the keurig. I would definitely stay there again.
