  The cottage was exactly what we were looking for! Everything was even better than described on the Internet! Clean, well decorated, comfortable sofas for TV viewing, well stocked kitchen, great tasting water, private hot tub, comfortable beds, and more! We have already recommended this place to friends and plan to return ourselves. ~

  Owner response: In writing a description for your vacation rental it is sometimes hard to put into words what in reality guests will see and experience. So in saying my house was better than described is actually heart-warming to me. They experienced what in words I couldn't convey! It always too brings joy to me for my previous guests to refer my house to their friends, because then I know I've done more than one thing right. I am always adding to the provisions of my house - big additions or small additions, whatever I feel my guests will enjoy - so future or returning guests will feel special! Rent Newfound Cottage! I promise you'll arrive and leave knowing it was your hard earned money well spent.

  We stayed 5 nights in October for my son's wedding which took place not too far from the house. There were 6 adults and a toddler and never once did we feel cramped for space. It is child friendly and the 3 bathrooms were a life saver with this many adults! We loved sitting on the front porch and the openess of the whole house. It's a very quiet and peaceful setting and a great house for the price!

  This place was so nice! My husband and I stayed here for our 5th anniversary trip away from the kids. It's far enough from everything to be private, but not too far to be inconvenient. Everything was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It has almost been a year since we've been there and we still talk about that getaway! (Sorry it took so long to write a review!!!)

  We really enjoyed the Cottage!! It was home away from home. It is a gorgeous place. A beautiful cottage. It was perfect for us. We had our 83 year old mother and it worked well for her. A bedroom downstairs and Den and Kitchen were great for her. The rooms are nice size and comfortable. We were close to all places we wanted to visit. We visited the Biltmore and went to Bryson City to ride the train. On Saturday as my niece and I were walking around outside you could hear the Church bells. Sounds that are lost in towns today. The area around the house was beautiful. We also enjoyed the hot tub. It was perfect after a day going on our adventure. The house was well stocked with thing you would need. We will make this the cottage the place to come to when we come to the Asheville Area. Thanks for sharing your little bit heaven with us.

  Owner response: Wow! Your description envelops quite a few sights, sounds and things offered at Newfound Cottage that until you stay there, you really don't know exist, do you(?). As I try so desperately to describe the area, it's no wonder I've left some things out ... bells from the church, I'd taken them for granted, suitability for our senior citizens ... I hadn't forgotten about them, just hadn't taken into consideration they could travel with family and be completely comforable. And as I've said before, if you miss having the dirt and grass under your feet, miss the smell of the mountain air, miss the gift your eyes could give you taking in the scenery ... well, you've missed the biggest part of what you came to the mountains for ... haven't you? Thank you so much for your kind remarks and I hope the future holds a return visit for you and yours. God bless.

  What a lovely cottage - decorated so impeccably, and it had all we needed there. It was close enough to downtown to make the trip easy but far enough away to feel like we were not "in the city". I so loved the hot tub under the stars with complete privacy. I only wished we could have stayed longer. A great deal too! Perfect for our two teens as there was plenty of room for them to have their own space. Thank you so very much for sharing your lovely cottage with us for the weekend! We'd love to come again.

  Owner response: Sometimes an owner wishes they could read the minds of previous guests, and potential guests do too, wondering what they thought. So it's always GREAT when a review is received to tell everyone "well, how was it?". I am glad to know teenagers found the accommodations satisfactory and that the hot tub met your expectations. We hope too you will find a way back to the solitude Newfound Cottage offers. Thank you so much!

  Thanks so much for sharing your cottage with us. It was amazing, so peaceful and quiet. We loved the fact we were close enough to Asheville to enjoy what it offered. And once we were through, we could back to your cottage for the peace and quiet. Loved, loved, loved the hot tub and its location. We would sit out there at night and be amazed by the fire flies and stars. Being close to Biltmore and also a plus. You can easily spend several days there. The cottage was stocked with every thing one would need and then some. Enjoyed our visit very much. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed.

  Owner response: Peace and quiet is one of the biggest "amenities" offered at Newfound Cottage. This valley is extremely unique in that way due to most of the property here is owned by only a few. That way, no housing developments are here or rental developments. The location is what vacation rental guests place as their top priority, peaceful country setting but close to city activities. If you decide to spend your time at the cottage, there is coffee and cereal provided for breakfast and movies to watch in the evenings. The icing on the cake then is the experience of the hot tub located in the most private and seclulded back yard you could hope to find ... lightning bugs and stars included. Newfound Cottage provides what it takes for you to relax, and short driving times to local activities as well.

• Nice House, But Not Secluded & Private

  My brand new husband and I stayed here for our "mini-moon" after getting married in early March. We chose this particular house for two reasons: First that it was completely secluded, according to the pictures and listing and second, that it had a hot tub. This is a very cute house and it does have good amenities, but the owners house is in full view about 100 yards in front of the cottage. This was exceptionally disapointing to me. The picture listed "calming view from front deck" is obviously a very old photo. The little building in the photo has completely fallen down and there is a very large house now sitting on the hill. We did call the owner and she put her husband on the phone who told us that we misunderstood and basically made no effort at all to rectify the situation. When something says secluded it means "not seen" so this is hardly secluded. I think that the owners should list a new updated photo of the view showing their house and maybe not go on about it's privateness. Sure, it's not a subdivision, but it's certainly not out there on there on the mountain alone as the listing clearly suggests. If we had been expecting another house to be in the front yard we wouldn't have been so upset, but I don't feel as though we got what was advertised or what we were looking for.

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers.

  Owner response: Yes my family does live on the property, about 500 feet down the road (2 acres away) and I do apologize for your disappointment; that this piece of information was not discovered at the time of your reservation. Because the property is so beautiful and serene and other guests have enjoyed it so much for that very purpose, it is has never been a problem. The cottage is located on private property, there is total serenity here and peace abounds. Again, I apologize the property and setting was not what you had imagined. It is our hope that you will return for another visit during the summer months when the forest is green and lush and that you will find serenity and peace here at Newfound Cottage. As can be read in past reviews , even since the existence of our home since 2006, our goal being here is to be helpful, offer assitance through bad weather, to accommodate guests in any way possible and maintain the cottage to our exacting high standards. I hope future memories of your honeymoon at Newfound Cottage will bring pleasant thoughts of your time together.

  The cottage was great. It was very beautiful. The price was very reasonable for the quality of the cabin. We enjoyed the stay very much. Thank you!

  Owner response: Price matters. You don't always have to pay an absorbitant nightly rate to get the biggest bang for your buck. My previous guests now know it's high quality at an affordable rate for these times. I had rather rent more often, and make a little money, than to rent just ever so often, and try to get "rich" off very few reservations at an outrageous rate.

  My girlfriends and I really enjoyed our stay at Newfound Cottage. It was in the perfect spot in the Asheville area. Downtown, West Asheville, and the Biltmore were all easily accessible. In addition, the hot tub was a wonderful ending to each day. The cottage is so clean and well kept. The pictures don't do it justice. We hope to make a trip to Newfound Cottage once (if not twice) a year from now on.

  Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers.

  Owner response: In some cases I have found you get what you pay for. Then there are those times when you find you simply got better than you paid for, you got your moneys worth and then some. As my guests are finding out, Newfound Cottage is ... simply worth more than you pay for it, and some "...hope to make a trip to Newfound Cottage once (if not twice) a year from now on". Both my husband and I put our best efforts forth in keeping Newfound Cottage in good shape. And so when that is literally pointed out within a guests review, we know our efforts have been worth it. We know they feel they got more than they paid for. As I always say, you'll fee it's your hard earned money well spent!

  This was a great place! My husband and I came up to celebrate our first anniversary. The house was perfect for us. It was secluded but not so secluded that you felt that you were in the wilderness somewhere. We were close enough to enjoy other sights as well - including the Biltmore House, Chimney Rock, and we drove down the Blue Ridge Pkwy on the way home. The listing describes the house really well and everything that we needed was provided. The owners were also helpful, they were close enough to help if we needed but far enough away as to not be intrusive. Would recommend to others and would stay here again. Thanks for the great stay!

  Owner response: "Thank you" to these guests for taking a moment out of their day to write a reveiw. Privacy and seclusion is what's promoted at Newfound Cottage. As these guests found, it is the best of both worlds, the country setting without feeling stranded. I do put great effort into what's written on the listing. I offer as much information there as potential guests care to read. As the saying goes though, a picture (or photo) may paint a thousand words, but as with any good vacation rental, staying there, staying at Newfound Cottage, is the only sure way to experience what others have. As I always say "you won't be disappointed!".
