We had a very relaxing stay at the cabin. It felt secluded yet we were close to all of our activities. The weather changed drastically overnight with a low of 17 and snow showers. We did use the hot tub the last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The welcome basket of snacks and the message board were nice touches. We would love to visit again!

Truly one of the nicest places we have stayed! Perfect for a couple wanting a lovely relaxing holiday. We rode mountain bikes daily at nearby Bent Creek. Enjoyed wonderful microbrews in Asheville and relaxed daily in the hot tub. Our hosts were so thoughtful and made the stay so nice. The cabin is clean, private and well situated. The view from the porch is worth the stay! A place we hope to visit again.

We visited for our anniversary and had an amazing time. We absolutely loved staying at this cabin. The owners were so kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed the hot tub and fishing. We also went tubing on the river less than 15 minutes away. I also thought the little fireplace area was absolutely beautiful.

This sweet, cozy cabin is perfect for couples, and the owners thought of everything. The queen bed is super comfy, and the generously-sized shower was perfect. The kitchen has a full size oven, gas grill and all the small appliances you'd need. The view across the pond, with green pastures and adjacent mountains is very idyllic and relaxing. Donna was a wonderful host, very attentive and responsive to any question we had. As former Vrbo hosts ourselves, we understand how important communication is, and we were very pleased with our stay!! Thanks for everything, Donna!!
