Pimkin Verde

Loved this place! The place is very clean and rustic. The owners were very nice and helpful. The only downside was a few low flying planes landing at the AVL airport but didn’t bother us. It was actually entertaining to watch.

Great stay

Our stay was great. Although we received a lot of rain during our stay the property was very peaceful and relaxing. Hosts were very accommodating and kind. This will be my first choice to stay wherever I return to the area.

Beautiful

A lovely, comfortable cottage on a gorgeous property. Easy walks around the lake. It felt like a remote country stay when in reality, it is close to the city. We enjoyed our stay!

Arden stay

The cottage is beautiful and unusually well-provisioned with pots and pans and things you need for cooking. The sitting area is so welcoming. We also loved the screened in porch and decks. The owner is lovely. He gave us great advice for hikes and dining.

Biltmore Visit

The Host and Property were both excellent. The property was well maintained and very nicely decorated. It was also very central to all of our activities during our stay visiting both Asheville and Hendersonville.

Much needed getaway

Wonderful little cottage for a much needed getaway. There is some noise from the airport from incoming flights but it wasn't horrible. The owners are great and very accommodating.

Wonderful property

We loved our stay here at the lake. We were able to catch many fish and using the canoe and paddle boat was fun. The owners are very friendly and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We had fun visiting the goats, rabbits and ducks as well.

Best of both worlds

Very easy commute to hiking, dining, movies, shopping, Biltmore estate yet the property is a pocket of tranquility to recharge the batteries and enjoy the serenade of nature from the screened in porch day bed or high top bar table on covered porch. 2nd stay for us and we'd love to do it again.

Great weekend in Asheville

We had a wonderful stay at this home. Very clean and accommodating! We spent most of our time out sightseeing around Asheville and the Biltmore estate. And then we enjoyed the comforts of home each night along with coffee on the front porch each morning.

Jean Anne & Carl

We decided on a long weekend trip to the Asheville area and found this charming cottage in the woods on a small lake. The owners are quite gracious and greeted us on our arrival, told us all about the 20 acres property, then allowed us to enjoy ourselves yet be on call should we need anything. The cottage is lovelyly, clean and very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again, but longer than a long weekend.

A Short Distance From Asheville

This house was an easy drive from all we wanted to see - esp. the Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore, and Asheville. We very much enjoyed the view of the pond, all the surrounding woods, the peace and quiet and the conveniences of the house itself. The owner was friendly and responsive and made sure that all went well.

Great location

This house was as advertised. Everything was nice and it is very close to everything you would want to do in the area. Located near the airport, it is equidistant to fly fishing in Brevard or heading up to the Biltmore or down town Asheville for a day trip. The airplanes flew over a lot, but I didn't notice them much when I was inside the cabin.

First time to NC

We had a wonderful week long stay at The Cottage. It was perfect for two couples. We loved the porch and ate almost every meal out at the table. The fire pit and wildlife were added bonuses (deer, turkeys, owls, birds, and of course the goats, chickens, and ducks). The hosts were great and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed the area, close to things we wanted to see and do. (The Biltmore was only about 15 minutes away, with traffic). We will definitely go back to stay!

Lovely cabin

My family had a lovely time at the cabin. The decor is so cozy and inviting. There is a screened-in porch right off the living room as well as a nice-sized deck, which we enjoyed. The cabin is relatively close to Ashville and the Biltmore which is what we were looking for. If a guest is looking to spend some time on the water there is a large pond on the property. The owner provides canoes. There are 3 adorable goats, chickens, and ducks that we spend some time with before exploring the area. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Transparency for Travelers

It is not to say this cabin is a bad place to stay, but in the spirit of transparency for future vacationers, here are the pros and cons from our experience. Pros: large outdoor space that feels secluded, cute goats that the kids in our group loved, very responsive hosts, proximity to Asheville. Cons: VERY loud airplanes fly overhead approx. every 20min from about 8a-10p (hard to hold a conversation on porch & can hear them inside), inaccurate listing- cabin is ONE bedroom and ONE loft (no door for privacy), there are amenities listed like golf, massage, and breakfast for purchase and none of this is accurate, king bed and pull out couch are very uncomfortable so in theory this cabin sleeps 6, but I wouldn't recommend the couch, some musty smelling sponges and towels, along with cobwebs on light fixtures and corners of windows that were large enough to notice. We enjoyed our time despite these cons, but would not stay here again.

Expectations exceeded

Our experience with Brett and Rumi from the initial booking through checkout was pleasant,enjoyable and seamless. I can't say enough about the look, feel and comfort of Pumpkin Verdi. It is designed and furnished like a primary retreat with so much attention to preserving the North Carolina mountain motif. We spent each morning lounging on the wrap around deck while enjoying a fresh ground cup of coffee grinder furnished!!), overlooking the well manicured pond in front of this picturesque property. I can not say thank you enough to Brett and Rumi for opening up such an amazing residence for my little boys and I to create memories of a lifetime. We were told there were fish in the pond, and quickly realized that was an understatement ,as each day we reeled in fish until our arms were sore. We will be back to enjoy this amazing property and it's equally perfect hostsThank you again guys. We are grateful!!!!Colin, Cayden and Kyler

Cool Cabin!

We came down to visit family in Asheville. The cabin was perfect for our family of four. Our boys stayed upstairs and had their own shower. Rumi was very communicative and accommodating. It's a charming location and cabin. The planes do fly low. We knew what to expect based on previous reviews so we were okay.
