    Loved the fully fenced in yard. It was perfect for our two dogs but not our small dog. The yurt was an interesting experience for my boys they loved it and loved having their own little space.

    Property is in a great location, both close to things yet remote. Couldnt see or hear neighbors for most part. My family loved the outdoor space and i appreciated that it was fenced in. My dog enjoyed roaming and laying by the fire.

    Kim was great to work with and we loved staying at her property. The yard and view are amazing! Our two dogs enjoyed the yard and it was safe for them to explore. My daughter loved the swing! Great location to explore the NC mountains and go for a hike. We look forward to coming back!

    We had wonderful and relaxing time at Rover’s Retreat Oct 5-9. We loved how cozy the cabin was and our girls (11 and 14) enjoyed staying in the yurt! The location was great and the views were beautiful! Our dog,Piper, loved being able to roam freely around the fenced in property and check everything out! Kim, the owner was very responsive and communication was excellent! Some of our favorite adventures were Whiteside Mountain, Dry Falls, Cullasaja Falls, Whitewater Falls, High Falls which we hiked from the lower entrance, and Silver Run Falls! We enjoyed the pizza from Slab Town and loved the food and vibe at Happ’s place in Glenville. Our favorite coffee stop was at Outpost Inn in Highlands. We played some family corn hole that was available at the cabin, and the girls loved the swing! We look forward to coming back and exploring and relaxing more!

    Our retreat was Awesome! The most restful vacation I’ve ever taken. Our 2 pups enjoyed their freedom on the property and chasing resident wildlife. Squirrels mostly (white ones too) ! Wonderful, comfortable , well equipped cabin with Beautiful long range, mountain ridge to valley views looking toward E/SE. The owner was very friendly, courteous , informative, communicative and responsive. No issue with booking or our stay . Plenty of outdoor activities nearby for those seeking mountain adventure, nature, culture, history, relaxation, etc. “Rovers Retreat” it’s a wonderful place to hang your leash…..

    We LOVED our weekend getaway at Rover's Retreat!! Our pups made full use of all of the smells within the large, fenced outdoor area. The home itself was clean and cozy with all the big touches (fully supplied kitchen, washer/dryer, quality linens/bedding) and small touches (bug screen on the door so we could enjoy the cool mountain air while cooking and letting our pups roam outside, traction strips on the wood stairs, providing a flashlight and dry firewood) to make our stay perfect. We were close to multiple points of interest while also having utter peace and seclusion. We will be back!

    I cannot recommend Rovers Retreat enough!! The cabin was perfect, very cute, with very comfortable amenities and everything that we needed for our stay. The property is absolutely beautiful with an incredible view right out the front door. We loved sitting at the picnic table, in the Adirondack chairs, and around the fire pit. My kids loved the hammock and swing, too. There are so many great places to hike and explore nearby - definitely recommend Rainbow Falls. The owner was just wonderful, very communicative, kind, and helpful! Our dogs had the best time ever and we're so happy to come along! The fenced in property gave them plenty of room to roam. You won't regret staying here!

    This was the perfect retreat for us and for our dogs after the hurricane in Asheville. Kim knew we did not have water and were looking for a break for a couple of days to take showers and to do laundry. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. The property was amazing, allowing us a break while allowing our dogs to roam. Just what we needed and they absolutely loved it. We could not have chosen a better location.

    Where to start.... First of all this property is one of a kind and exceeds the description and pictures. The hosts were extremely helpful and made us feel like family. Given the recent devastation of Hurricane Helene we were concerned about traveling but Kim and Brad were communicative and helped to put all our fears at ease. The cabin is extremely clean, grounds well maintained, and the amenities unmatched. Our 3 year old Shepadoodle had the time of his life, as did we! We are already thinking about our next trip and you should too!!
