Peaceful little cabin!

Such a cute and cozy cabin in the woods! We saw a turkey, deer and lots of other wildlife. Great getaway just far enough from the city, but still close enough to all the local attractions. Asheville is still in recovery mode, but Hendersonville was such a cute town with lots of cool shops and restaurants. Hot tub was relaxing and we enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks for having us!

Wonderful location

This was a great location and just what we were looking for. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues and Hugh was easy to communicate with and issues were fixed in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this location to others as it was a perfect homebase for all our activities and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing after a day of hiking and driving the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Cute, private cabin yet close to amenities

Great private location with a great mountain feel yet close to amenities. Having both a hot tub and a firepit in such a private location was great. A few of the appliances were at end of life and the second bedroom is probably most suited for kids but still worked as a second room for an additional adult. Would definitely stay here again.

Cabin Retreat

The owners made this an easy time for a two night stay. The house was well equipped and we wanted for nothing except ice.The neighborhood was quiet, wooded and peaceful. The fire pit is situated in the front yard and there was plenty of firewood!We didn't have time to use the hot tub! The house is decorated so cute with a rustic design. The bed was super comfy. We would highly recommend this location if you are looking to get out of the rat race of the city as we were trying to do. (No icemaker
