Peaceful retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. It is so quiet and peaceful that you feel far away from everything yet it is within 5 minutes of restaurants, shops and parks. It was very clean and our bed was super comfortable. We loved hanging out on the porches and listening to the sounds of nature. We can't wait to return!

Wonderful Cabin getaway

Property is amazing! Split floor plan with main living area between the two bedrooms. Rear deck is large and inviting. Wrap around front porch to both bedrooms with their own comfortable chairs to enjoy either early morning coffe or a glass of wine sunset. On my list to retun!!!

Rustic Luxury - 5 Stars

Dovetails is a beautiful place. The craftsmanship that went into the home gives it a feeling of rustic luxury. It is also beautifully decorated and landscaped. I particularly love the layout of two master suites on each side, very well appointed. Everything is well maintained and very clean. The hosts were top notch in their communication, and they added special touches making us feel like welcomed and valued guests. Highly recommend!

Log "tree" house

Beautiful log construction, well appointed, home with great open decks and screened porches. Beautiful sitting room with vaulted ceiling. Close to provisioning points, Hendersonville, wineries, everything you want. Great host. Because of the backyard drop off, you're looking into the trees and birds, like a treehouse. Luxurious one.

Beyond our Expectations

We have been visiting the Flat Rock/Hendersonville area for 30+ years and have stayed in many, many places but this was absolutely one of the best! The "cabin" is so much more than that. Perfectly laid out for 2 adult couples with 2 primary suites and attached bathrooms for total privacy. The woodsy setting, rustic furnishings and great deck make you feel you are tucked away in the woods but only short drives to terrific restaurants, the Flat Rock Playhouse, cute shops, walking trails and more. Our 2 week stay could not have been better. I would be remiss if I did not mention that the owners are unbelievably responsive and truly committed to making sure our needs were met and that our stay was better than expected. We love that they are lovers of dogs and made our Sadie and Cooper so welcomed. We will stay again if we return with friends.

Perfect, Private, Immaculate, Going Back!

The home is immaculate and was the best VRBO home we have stayed in. Walking distance to restaurants/Carl Sandberg estate, easy drive to Hendersonville, and the owners are wonderful. The home is well supplied and has all you need during your stay. Beds are extremely comfortable and the furniture is very nice. The neighborhood is peaceful and the home is very private which is great. We had 16 inches of snow during our stay and just built a fire and enjoyed watching the snow fall. Being snowed in was a blessing in this home….. We will be back no question and had great memories and look to add to those again!

Everything we could ask for and more!

This property was amazing and we will definitely be back! The location was wonderful. The property was clean and thoughtfully set up with all the extras. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels. Hairdryers in the bathrooms. Firewood stocked for the beautiful fire pit. Extra pet bowls for the dogs. My daughters (age 11 and 15) loved the screened in porch with string lights. We played card games and board games stocked in the living room (Man Bites Dog was such a hit we had to order one for our house!). We enjoyed the coffee table books (photo book with the dog photos was especially loved!). Very comfortable with easy access to everything. We walked into town through the trails to get breakfast. Can’t say anything negative. We will definitely rent again!

Lovely Cabin, Lovely Town!

We enjoyed our stay at Dovetails, and highly recommend it to others as a clean, comfortable cabin in a quaint little mountain town. Its location is wonderful, as you are a short 3 minute drive to the Village of Flat Rock, and also very convenient to Hendersonville & Pisgah Forest, for hiking, tubing, waterfall explorations, and orchards galore! We loved being so close to everything. The hosts are kind and attentive, and you can tell they truly care about their guests and the property. Our experience felt warm & personal, and not corporate like some rentals can be. Flat Rock Village is adorable, the ambiance is beautiful, and the restaurants are all delicious! Our only minor disappointment was that we were under the impression that the cabin is “connected” to walking trails to town. It should be noted that the start of the trail is actually at the end of the road behind an apartment complex, and not actually on the property. It was a bit more of a walk than anticipated, so we opted to drive to town instead (mostly because of the rain). Not a big deal, but thought it should be noted. This cabin made it so easy to relax with our family for a peaceful vacation. It rained pretty much the entire 5 nights of our trip, and we still enjoyed our stay so much. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we are in the area!

Beautiful well appointed cabin

Beautiful cabin is nestled in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from everything. Home is comfortable and well appointed with every little detail for a comfortable weekend. Beds are comfortable, wifi is strong and floor plan is perfect for a family or two couples. We loved the cozy fireplace. Hosts were so kind by leaving is a bottle of wine and super responsive over text. Have shared the listing link with a few friends. Already planning our next trip!
