Super Clean Home. Amazing Views. The most Private home we've stayed in. We never saw the owners as they live further up the hill. Great water pressure. We appreciated providing the coffee for drip and Keurig. Spices and condiments included. Also, during our visit we felt good about spending some money in Swannanoa; they need it to rebuild after the Helene. We found this property to be priced better than in ASH but still close by. We went out for a hike and Charles Owen Park was still closed due to the storm but just a bit further Bull Creek Preserve maintained by Warren Wilson is a great hike. We enjoyed both hot tub and sauna (great addition) in the evenings but we weren't brave enough to do the cold plunge.

We already miss Little Bee Woods! It was such a nice, relaxing, private stay with our two girls. It was secluded enough to have peace and quiet but close enough to Asheville and other areas that we didn’t feel like we were constantly in the car. Charles made sure we had everything we needed and the house was well equipped-we were never searching for what we needed-they thought of everything! We enjoyed the sauna, hot tub, had fires multiple nights and naps on the porch-perfection!

We loved the home and it exceeded the pictures and our expectations! We visited with another couple for a long weekend and loved that we could bring out dogs and the location was perfect. It is on a mountain with great views and amazing outdoor spaces. The house is very clean, modern and equipped with everything you need. We spent time in Asheville, Black Mountain and Old Fort, all just a short drive away. This location gave us a nice secluded home in the treetops to relax in once we were done exploring. I can't state enough how comfortable and relaxed we felt in our stay. The kitchen had everything you need to cook with nice vaulted ceilings that have Sonos speakers installed that sound amazing. We spent a lot of time in the screened-in porch that has amazing mountain views and Sonos speakers are in the high porch ceiling too. I definitely recommend trying the hot tub too! We didn't try the sauna but will try it when we return. Charles the host was great with communication, friendly and made us feel very welcome. We will be back to visit in the future, hopefully sooner than later!

What an incredible stay! My husband and I absolutely loved this peaceful mountain getaway. The home was beautifully designed with every thoughtful detail imaginable — from the fully stocked kitchen to the cozy porch and relaxing hot tub. The views were stunning, and the privacy made it feel like our own hidden retreat tucked up in the mountains. You can truly feel the care and intentionality that went into creating this space. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back again soon!
