We had a great stay at this lovely cabin on a pond. Donna was very friendly and helpful. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We enjoyed the deck and hot tub and a nice hike around the property. The location was perfect for seeing Asheville and the surrounding areas. We would stay here again!

Wonderful experience

Donna and Curtis were absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful. The cabin is cozy and clean and has everything we needed. The porch and the hot tub were much needed after a day of exploring Asheville. The fishing was phenomenal. A much needed break from life for a couple of days. We will definitely be back.

Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I wanted a quiet getaway for the weekend, and this cabin was perfect for us. It was the ideal size for our stay. The screened porch overlooking the pond was incredibly relaxing, and the hot tub allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even when it was a bit chilly outside. The kitchen is fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals on-site; all you need to do is bring your own food. Donna and Curtis are great hosts. We will definitely be back.

Donna is a great host with a great cabin, perfect for a weekend getaway! The cabin was as advertised, and Donna even took the time to leave us a personal note upon arrival.

Beautiful Romantic Getaway

Cozy little cabin home secluded but close enough to society. This property met all expectations. I decided to suprise my girlfriend with a weekend at this lovely home for her 30th birthday and we could not have asked for more. The owner was very nice and helpful for anything that we needed during our stay. Beautiful views, comfy bed, gorgeous bathroom, perfectly placed firepit for the cold nights, and I cant forget the wonderful hottub. This was the best romantic mtn getaway for us. Thank you for having us.
