Awesome stay

This rental was absolutely perfect for a long weekend girls trip, the location was far enough out to give privacy and a true feeling of being out in the mountains, but close enough to Asheville and Black Mountain to make tourist visits for shopping and such doable. Absolutely would stay again.

Great updated quaint cabin!

My husband and I spent the weekend celebrating our anniversary and his birthday at this lovely cabin. We found it very clean with everything we needed for a lovely stay. The owners were very easy to reach by text and extremely nice. There is a lovely gas fireplace which we really enjoyed. Sit on the porch, or walk up a stairway to the good sized hot tub with a view of the creek down the hill and surrounded by nature. We hope to stay again!

A good place for a weekend getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The creek is an added bonus as the running water was so relaxing to listen to. I loved sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee listening to nature. Not a bad drive to downtown Asheville.

Definitely recommend an SUV to get up that driveway, but it is so worth it especially if you’re looking for privacy. super comfortable beds, charming scenery and just so easy to recharge yourself and relax. Host was fast and polite in answering all my questions. Would definitely stay here again
