Welcome to Hamersmith Hollow Retreat Estate! Kick back and soak in nature's symphony from the expansive wrap-around porch of this picturesque mountain retreat. There's no shortage of comfy spots to stretch out and unwind in this cozy home. You'll be treated to stunning mountain vistas right from the porch, which also provides a front-row seat to the sprawling private pond adorned with a delightful water feature. Ideally located just a short drive from Hatley Point (formerly Wolf Ridge Ski Resort) and the Wolf Laurel area, this serene escape blends rustic charm with effortless access to year-round mountain adventures—from winter skiing and snowboarding to summer hiking and scenic drives.

Inside the main home, you'll find three inviting bedrooms ready to embrace you in comfort. The primary bedroom features a queen bed with a TV and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom and features a king-size bed, while a third king can be found in the final bedroom. A sleeper sofa is also available for flexible sleeping arrangements.

Chase away the chill by snuggling up to the mesmerizing glow of the gas fireplace – a perfect way to create warm memories.

    We loved everything about our stay here! This was the perfect family gathering place. Completely tranquil, clean, and it had everything we needed, including kitchen supplies. Check in and check out we’re very easy. It is close enough to restaurants and grocery stores to be convenient while also providing a beautiful drive along the way. There were a few deer in the early evenings and bunnies throughout the day. We will treasure our time here.

    Beautiful place, wonderful deck with beautiful view, so serene. Would prefer 4 th bedroom to be in main house, but just a wonderful place to stay. Kids had room to ride bikes in drive even. Thank you.

    Great property for an end of summer getaway. We used the main house and guest house for our extended family of ten people. One family slept in the guest house while my family and parents stayed in the main house. There was plenty of room and we loved the large porches. We traveled to Asheville a few days and our favorite activity nearby was sliding rock. Check in was easy and everything was clean and ready for our stay. The property was easy to find and the nearby towns were close enough to be convenient but you are definitely secluded which we loved. Beds were comfy and the property was gorgeous. It really is a large property and you can see all kinds of wild animals. We saw the resident geese and deer and even had an unexpected visit from a slithering friend who surprised my mom after s’mores on the fire pit one evening. The kids loved all the wildlife but we did have to check for ticks nightly!! The kitchen had all the needed gadgets except for a potato masher but what are the odds your family is going to want homemade mashed potatoes like mine did? The refrigerator was very clean which is a huge plus in my opinion. I would definitely book again if we go back to the area.

    We had 4 couples so we wanted a place that had 4 bedrooms and 4 separate bathrooms. Initial impression was fantastic. We all moved into our rooms and then realized the water was not working at all. We had 4 smart men with us and they tried the breakers and the pressure switch to no avail. I contacted Jen the property manager and she told me they probably wouldn't be able to anything that evening as Lucas was at a Memorial service. We filled all available buckets and pails we could find with water from the pond so we could use the toilets overnight. A plumber showed up first thing next morning and told us it was a faulty well pump. After it was fixed everything was great. We used kitchen and or grill all 3 nights to cook. We sat on the porch and played games at the big table. My husband and I had the bedroom upstairs and were disappointed it didn't have it's own bathroom up there (we had to use the main bathroom near the kitchen). We used the Sonos audio and the wifi. Home could have less knickknacks as we were afraid a few times that we were going to accidentally knock something over. Also one plug of the outlets in bedroom upstairs are switched and we didn't realize that and our cellphones didn't charge 2 of the nights. Cottage was cute and was nice to have motion lights while walking back later at night. All 4 couples said we would rent property again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After charging me 109$for rental insurance for anything that might happen at the time of purchasing almost a week,I sent two notifications that the money should be returned to me,since as soon as I purchased the system said that I have no time left for refund.Twice I tried to claim that money back,no answer.The house is good,no complaints IF...what you are looking for is peace and no contact with anybody.THAT'S THE PLACE TO BE!I would definitely recommend the house,not the company in charge of renting it,their procedure does not behave as I see it should.
