Work stay

This place was fantastic for our extended stay! We were in town working a construction job and booked this place for its convenience to town as well as the lake. The owners were fantastic and helped in anyway we needed. The property was very clean and had an immaculate landscape. I highly recommend staying here

Awesome private location not far from town

Perfect place for a quiet getaway

Such an adorable property! The outdoor areas have received much attention/lovely. Rain didn’t give us the chance to use fire pit or see the night sky/stars. Comfortable beds, linens, common spaces. Great location near state parks. Owners very helpful and responsive. We’ll be back!

beautiful home and grounds, would definitely stay again

Really interesting home with beautiful grounds. Very clean, well-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer. We stayed here and went hiking at South Mountains State Park. It was very convenient to the park. Lots of stars at night, with a lovely yard and a wonderful porch and fire pit from which to enjoy them. The owners were so responsive and friendly. We truly appreciated all of their communication before, during, and after our stay. We look forward to staying at this property again soon.

Scenic Cozy Spot!

We did enjoy our stay at this delightful, older venue. It had a cozy feel for 4 people with most amenities you would expect. The mama deer and baby visited each morning, so that was a sweet surprise! There were a few items that needed to be fixed but were not dire for the stay. Great place at the bottom of the mountain and easy access to Asheville for a Biltmore Estate visit!

nice vacation getaway

it was a very nice place. great setting. we enjoyed our stay. a few items that the owner might want to know: air filter in the utility room needed to be replaced. No bowls for salad/soup/cereals in the kitchen other than a few mixing bowls. the wood beam and bed corner in the bedroom by the door needed some sort of padding, since my spouse banged her legs on them getting in/out of the bed or walking toward the half bath. I wrapped a blanket around the pole and the corner as a temporary fix while we stayed there. also, might want to have a compost container in the kitchen if you want some garden compost stuffs. all in all, it was a great place. Thanks.

Nirvana ~ Private, Beautiful Lush Gardens and Relaxing Areas

Oh my! What a lovely treasure! In fact, we booked another week at this beautiful, extremely well maintained and cared for property. The owners are lovely people. We have a little blip at checking in….not at all the owners doing….thank you VRBO..not! The owners were quick to respond and could not have been nicer. My husband said he was sorta happy about the glitch, if not we wouldn’t have had the chance to make their acquaintance! The grounds are beautifully landscaped. The flowers, the sitting areas along the stone paths, in addition with the porch/deck. Flip a coin to decide where to enjoy your morning coffee. We also need to mention the amazing water pressure and great hot water provided wonderful showers. Looking forward to our return trip to enjoy some yard to table blackberries! Thank you!

Beautiful home

This is a beautiful home with a wonderful fire pit and everything you could need. When help was needed, the response came quickly on text. Our only concern was in the kitchen where most plates were dirty, the silverware was greasy and had pieces of food, the pans were dirty, and the counter greasy. Half and hour of cleaning made this a great cozy place to stay.

Very Cozy and Comfortable Spot

Two couples shared this cute bungalow, I'd call it. Just the right size, styled for the mountains. Easy for meal prep, with full kitchen (no dishwasher, but no biggy). Sat under the night sky next to the stocked firepit and enjoyed reminiscing about the day's activities in this beautiful area. Comfy beds, TV and internet made it feel like a vacation home. Excellent response from Christine on coffee pot issue - prior renter had evidently broken it and it was missing. She offered several alternatives to resolve. We'd certainly visit again!

Relaxing retreat close to Asheville

Very relaxing property tucked in the trees. Everything was exactly as described and presented on VRBO. Easy drive to Asheville and a quick drive to the lake and Morganton. Would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the mountains and sites of Asheville, but not looking to stay in the heart of the city. Thanks for a great stay!
