The mountain home was comfortable and clean with a fully stocked kitchen and a great view. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor, a master loft on the second floor and a bedroom, bathroom and seating area in the basement. The deck is spacious with 2 grills, a dining area and rocking chairs. The grassy area is a bit steep but a nice area to walk around and play some games. It was nice to have a kitchen full of supplies and plenty of games and puzzles. The WiFi is a bit slow so it’s a great place to unplug, enjoy your surroundings and engage with family.
Enough beds for all family members. Main floor BR have access to a half bath, but was not a problem to share full baths in loft or basement. Relatively peaceful surroundings except for occasional dogs barking next door, likely because they sensed our own pup who joined us. We did the hike off the back of the house- great views at the top, but not for the faint of heart! Pretty steep incline. Easy 25min drive to Asheville. Enjoyed our stay!
Our family with 4 teenagers loved this cabin for our winter long weekend in February. Plenty of space to spread out, but quiet and isolated from neighboring properties. We loved the big deck, the hiking trail behind the cabin, the hot tub, and the wood-burning stove. We enjoyed movies and card games in the big den when it was cold and rainy, and room to be alone with a book when you felt like it. About a 15 min drive to the grocery store, so think ahead with your shopping, but the quiet and peace away from the hustle was wonderful and exactly what we came for. The patio under the deck hinted at some fun warmer-weather activities that we didn't take advantage of but looked fun for a spring day. You'll enjoy this cabin!
Enjoyed a great Thanksgiving getaway at this comfortable property. Owner made sure all our needs were met. The view from the loft was a treat each morning. Would definitely return.
I booked this cabin for my son and his new bride for their honeymoon. They were very happy with the views and amenities this cabin had to offer. It is very close to Asheville and surrounding activities. The owners were very easy to communicate with and helped with any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this property for a fun and relaxing get away.
My friends and I enjoyed every minute of our time spent here. The property was gorgeous, and Rene has thought of everything for a comfortable stay. Perfect location - close enough to experience Asheville, but still a secluded enclave to be in and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
The property is beautiful and very spacious. Lots of hills and the driveway is steep and a little difficult to navigate without a four wheel drive. The sunsets were gorgeous and the hot tub and outdoor spa e is lovely. It’s about 30 mins from Asheville. Master bedroom mattress is comfy! The others are just ok.
We had a great weekend. Cabin has beautiful views. Rene was very responsive and helpful. Thanks!
During this crazy year dealing with the covid-19 pandemic our family didn’t get to do our usual traveling out of state for our family vacations. We all finally agreed we needed a long weekend up in Asheville. We had such a great time at this property that we never even left to do any outside activities. Everyone loved the accommodations and we had lots of fun with a variety of yard games. Would definitely return
Rene was an great host! The home was very clean and perfect for a small group or family. The views were gorgeous. We spent a lot of time on the deck overlooking the property and around the fireplace. It's only about a 20 min drive downtown as well. If you're looking for a nice relaxing trip with limited distraction, this is it!
