We couldn't believe our luck when this cottage was available on short notice, and we loved our stay! Where to start: it's so nice to have 2 full baths, the hot tub is just a couple steps outside, the ice maker is industrious, the cottage is easy to find with driveway and entry level and smooth, and we never heard a (man-made) peep until the cleaning staff drove up as we were leaving! The Sams make booking and staying a breeze, and make it VERY hard to leave Hendersonville in the rear view.

Outdoor retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Pisgah Shadows Cottage. Everything was as described and better. The neighborhood was quiet and close to DuPont State Park & other parks. The fenced in area was great for our dog. We would stay again when we visit the area.

Wonderful Mountain getaway

The house was so comfortable and a perfect combo of what we needed. The dogs loved the fenced in back yard. We highly enjoyed the hot tub on cooler nights and the kitchen was so cute. The whole place was very clean and so easy to get in. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Everything was as advertised. The home was clean, comfortable, and well stocked and T he yard was perfect for our puppy. The location is perfect - close to everything, but far enough to feel like you’re in the woods.

Clean rooms, good presentation, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. (We bought and refilled some spices for the next guest). It was a nice stay but it was odd that the “hot tub guy” kept randomly coming by. He came by once to check the hot tub chemical balance as it was getting dark which was weird and then he came again when he thought we were gone (he knew my car’s color and specifications which was odd. The host and I never spoke on this so it was just mildly alarming. The host himself was very kind and responsive. All in all definitely a great place to stay if you don’t mind washing your dishes, cleaning your laundry, and taking your trash out (which we didn’t) but it could be a little unnerving for the solo traveler if that guy comes by periodically and unannounced. I wasn’t too concerned but it unnerved my girlfriend and scared my sister.

Part of a Great Christmas

We chose this property based on its location and it exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room; visiting family members commented on the open floor plan. The fenced side yard was a huge plus (it would be even better with a light for nighttime). Overall we were pleased with everything.

Location was ideal in quiet mountain neighborhood. House was clean and only one step to get inside, so very easy to unload and load up everything. Hot tub on back porch was easily accessible. Fenced yard was a bonus for our dog. Would rent again.

Overall had a lovely stay here. The house was just what we were looking for in terms of amenities (we were traveling with 3 dogs), and was close to hiking and some good restaurants and breweries. I was disappointed to pick up about 8 bags worth of dog poop (not from our dogs) from the fenced in area while we were here. The fenced area is a good size, but not big enough that we could just leave it be with our 3 running around. Even though those visiting should be responsible for cleaning up after their own dogs, it should still be checked occasionally as it wasn't our responsibility to clean up either. It'd be awesome to have a motion sensored light over the fenced area for night time potty breaks, but we just used a flashlight. The house itself had everything we needed, the only suggestion I would make is to have all the check out information easy to find in one place such as the welcome binder. There were lots of instructions on the walls which is fine, but they were scattered about and we were worried about missing something that we needed to do. We would stay here again, and always appreciate a host that is welcoming to multiple pets! They were also very quick to respond to messages.

Short weekend stay

My boyfriend and his parents stayed here for a trail run we had in town. We all thought the protest was exactly as it shows online. It was clean and easy to get in and out of. Very close to the town and would definitely recommend. Will stay here again when coming back to town! Only thing we would mention, was that outside by the fenced in portion, there’s no lights (like a flood light) so taking the dog out to the bathroom at night we used our phone flash light. Could be beneficial to add in a small outdoor light if possible. Really enjoyed our stay!

Ideal Mountain House

House was easy to find in the mountains in between Brevard and Hendersonville. Only one step at the front door, so easy to haul in all our travel necessities. Perfect side yard fenced for our senior dog with only a few steps out the side door. House was very clean with plenty of towels (although we bring our own!) and kitchen items. The beds were very comfortable. The hot tub under the trees on the private back porch was a bonus. The neighborhood was very quiet. Would rent this ideal mountain house again.

Highly Recommend Pisgah Shadows

We had an amazing stay at Pisgah Shadows! The home was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing week. The kitchen was well equipped with all the essentials and the small details like the folded towel sets on the end of each bed was a nice touch. The hot tub was a huge plus and was clean and well maintained. We also loved the fully fenced yard, which was perfect for our dogs to run and play safely. The location was great. David and Darla were very responsive. Check out Bear8.Com, they have a Sniff Spot that you can rent hourly to take your dog to run and play. We didn't get a chance this time but we will definitely give that a try next time. Overall, Pisgah Shadows exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend!
