25-Acre Mountain Retreat w/ Trails, Pond, Hot Tub

My husband and I had a wonderful getaway. The cabin and property were wonderful. Very clean and we loved the pond, outdoor fireplace and hot tub! Location was perfect for day trips to go hiking to see all the beautiful waterfalls. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog so she could join us on the hikes. The owners were very helpful with any questions we had. I highly recommend.

The Perfect Getaway

We happened to plan our trip for right after Hurricane Helene when the parks were closed, but this property really made up for it! It is as good or better than the pictures, with short hikes and an awesome outdoor fireplace. Wonderful hosts, great for kids, pet friendly - 5 stars.

Perfect getaway is correct!

Perfect spot for a few days away after Christmas. Clean, spacious, and well appointed cabin! Close to great hiking and all the area has to offer.

Wonderful country cabin

A really lovely, peaceful place. Well-stocked. Super gracious owner/hosts. The outdoor setting is great - places to relax, enjoy the pond, feed the fish, soak in the hot tub, hike, and more. Just the best. We will return for sure.

Amazing Property!

I can't say enough about our stay here! Absolutely gorgeous home, had everything we needed, super clean and located within 25 minutes of all the trails we wanted to hike. Our first day we hiked Triple Falls and had lunch at Square Root (pet friendly too). Day 2 was Looking Glass Trailhead, grilled steaks and s'mores by the outdoor fireplace. The hot tub was perfect for sore muscles at the end of the day. We will definitely be back!

Great getaway

Great property. Had everything I needed. Hot tub was awesome...Fireplace and feeding the trout in the pond was great. Did some hiking around the property...so quiet and peaceful taking a walk in the woods. Hosts were great to communicate with. Very helpful. Cabin was clean, everything worked...nice appliances...once I figured out the wi-fi setting on my phone it worked great..internet connection was quick...May sound a little strange, but the towels were big and fluffy. I love good towels...short drive to Hendersonville, Brevard, Dupont state forest. Great hide away...If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world, you should come here. Highly recommended...One of the best places I have stayed at. 5 days/nights Definitely a place to come back to.Tom

Amazing!!

We had a wonderful time at Peaceful Getaway! The cabin and property are so beautiful and truly special. There is so much to do right on property! We enjoyed hiking the trails, feeding the fish, roasting marshmallows at night, and our kids absolutely loved the rope swing! The cabin was very clean, well organized, and had everything we needed. Robert and Stefanie were delightful to work with and very helpful. We made wonderful memories at Peaceful Getaway and can’t wait to return!

Truly a peaceful getaway!

This cabin lives up to its name. The location is 15-20 minutes driving distance to town. It is tucked away in the trees gently on the mountain. The owners are close and responsive. Any needs are met within less than 1 hour. You have a large covered well lit fire pit pavilion. A gas stove fireplace in the living room. The cabin is well maintained and has modern appliances. A spacious modern bathroom. An easy to access and use hot tub. A great place to disconnect and rejuvenate. I have recommended to friends and family.

PLEASE don’t make us leave!!!

This was such a wonderful few days at the cabin! A stress free few days with my son before school returns and time with my mom. Never did we feel “too remote” or unsettled being just women. With a 14 year old, we also couldn’t be too far from a grocery store and town (bottomless pit). VERY ACCESSIBLE! 15-20 mins from anything we needed (hiking, biking, food). We were 15 mins from DuPont Forest for the day. The cabin is very tidy and clean, and my mother is a germaphobe! No animal smell at all- since this is a dog friendly spot. All the details have been thought out for you. The hot tub was SUPER CLEAN. No sand or grit or mildew. I’m always a little weary of public tubs. We did some fishing and had fresh trout dinner over the campfire with lemon— delish! Taught my son how to clean a fish. We made lots of memories and already planning our return! Wish we didn’t have to leave- so glad we found this charming spot! We will be seeing you soon!!
