Woodland & Creek Oasis
Wonderful visit to the North Carolina Mountains The cabin was clean & tidy and cozily furnished. My girlfriend, doggy & I all enjoyed every moment on the property. The highlight was definitely having breakfast & dinners on the back porch area with the babbling creek just maybe 20 or so feet away

Enjoyable Stay
The description of the rental was on point. Loved it. No smells and was like new. The mountain stream was nice even though it was too cold outside to enjoy sitting on the porch. Hope to visit again.

Absoulety Wonderous Place
We did a short 2-night visit to see the Biltmore during Christmas. Really wished I booked their place for a few more nights. First and most importantly we would like to thank Ms. Peg for the ability to bring our puppies with us, they are family and mean everything to us. To rent such a wonderful place which is pet friendly was amazing. Everything from the furnishings to the property was whimsical and amazing. I have rented places in the NC mountains high up with great views; however, this place was amazing, and I preferred much more due to the location and ease of access compared to steep incline, goose bump driveways. I will be returning to rent this place several times as long as they hopefully have it listed to do so. Almost not wanting to leave such a great review out of jealously someone may have this place other than me! We look extremely forward to returning and exploring more of Waynesville and the Ashville area, to include Cherokee which I heard is not too far from this wonderful place. Thank you again Ms. Peg we will be seeing you very soon again. This place deserves 10 stars not 5.

Great! Great! Great!
Our 4 night stay was perfect. The house was very clean, very cozy, and very nicely decorated. The stream that runs along behind the house is beautiful. This will be our spot for future visits to the mountains.

Christmas in the Mountains
We had a very nice holiday staying at the “Guest House” for Christmas. When we booked the cabin, we were excited and expecting a white Christmas, unfortunately that was not the case. However, we had three very nice days which allowed for two amazing trips to play golf at Springdale golf course and The Grove Park Inn golf course. A trip to the dog park in Waynesville (area seemed a bit iffy), and a wonderful day of walking around downtown Asheville. Tried Mountain Madre for a late lunch and it was excellent. Other days, rain or shine, were spent playing games, watching movies and watching the creek that runs directly behind the home. So beautiful to see and listen to. If you’re a light sleeper, you need not worry, you can’t hear the creek unless the door is open. Cell service is pretty much nonexistent in the valley of a mountain, but the owners have a WiFi booster, so you can switch to WiFi calling. Be sure to download or printout the details of your stay as you will not be able to look up the details without service. Had to drive a few miles away to get the code to enter the home. After that, everything was perfect. The host left a card addressed to us with a little welcome gift. So charming. The house was decorated for the holidays and every room had little bowls of chocolates for us to enjoy. We brought a ton of food stuffs as we planned on staying in a lot, the home is FULLY equipped with practically everything and anything that we needed.

Magnificent Guest House
The Guest House accommodations were perfect. Beautifully decorated, upscale, very cozy, and the cleanliness was off the charts. Forget the salt, pepper, coffee and filters… your hosts have everything covered, and so much more ! We enjoyed our stay and the hosts, Peg and Bruce, were easy to reach, friendly, and very helpful. This is a grand location close to Maggie Valley and Cherokee with a babbling creek right outside your back door. It was magical ! We stayed 7 nights and have already booked our return. Note to Hosts: The huge shower was gorgeous, but I wanted to thank you for keeping the DEEP bathtub/shower combination in the second full bathroom. It made for a heavenly “super soak”. The entire week was luxurious indeed !
