Could not have been better.
Lived up to the reviews left by all. Host turned us on to a little private swimming hole just up the creek. Cabin itself is absolutely secluded and wonderful. Will be back.

Beautiful location, private stream & waterfall, comfy cottage.
Cottage had everything we needed, especially the full sized washer and dryer was super handy. Would have liked some newer "green pans" for cooking. Everything else was environmentally perfect.

Cabin in the woods
If you like rustic, mountainous natural settings then this is perfect for you. No TV, radio or Wi-Fi (except inside of cabin) Hiking trails galore connecting to the property, listening to the water & streams 24/7 outside your windows. Cascading rocks, vines and fresh air…comfortable bed, nice pillows, adequate kitchen for most meals. Bring your groceries and snacks. Nearest grocery about 20-30 minutes.

Great for getting out of city life
Cabin is small and quaint. Kitchen has everything you need. Property is fun to explore. The view from the porch is AMAZING!!! The sounds of the water will soothe anyone! Small things to consider: no tv, rocking chairs/futon are extremely uncomfortable and these are only places really to sit except porch chairs. Its a decent drive to grocery store so bring your stuff with you! Overall it was a great relaxing extended weekend 🙂

Quaint and Serene!
I wanted nothing more than to spend my birthday weekend in nature, but still close to Asheville to explore there as well. This cottage exceeded all expectations! Julia was quick in responses and thorough in her check-in/check-out instructions. Would definitely recommend!
