Stay was just as listed. Wonderful place and more than you can ask for. It has everything you need. We stayed a night with 2 adults and 4 kids to go apple picking and wish we could have stayed longer. Clean and great for a crowd. Host very responsive and easy check in. Will definitely stay again when in the area. Would recommend to anyone taking a trip in that area looking for a space to stay. It even has a downstairs area we did not need to use but if your crowd is bigger than 6 that’s awesome idea to look into.

This home was perfect for what my family needed. We only stayed one night, but the host was super gracious and let us check out later the next day. The home was clean and very accurately represented. I would definitely stay here again.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this cabin in the woods. The location was peaceful and beautiful with the fall leaves; and not too far from Hendersonville. The host was helpful and accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Peaceful and unique home that was perfect for our family holiday trip! The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the quiet outdoor spaces, open kitchen area, and the beds were comfortable. A grocery store, restaurants, and different breweries were close and easily accessible. The host was helpful and quick to respond. We would definitely book a stay here again!

We arrived fairly late and wasn’t able to get to know the stay very well. The layout of the home unique but worked just fine for our family of 5.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Overall, OK the house is decent has potential. It’s pretty cluttered on the inside, however. For example, of the upstairs bathroom, there’s a basket full of supplies in a washer and dryer right next to the bathtub so it’s not relaxing. One of the upstairs bedrooms is really not a bedroom. It’s a living room with a pullout couch. That’s OK except if you’re using it as a room, then you can’t use it as a living room to relax and hang out with the family. There is a downstairs bedroom we could’ve used the texture cost. If we knew that the upstairs fourth bedroom was just a living room room with a pullout couch. We would’ve paid extra to use the downstairs basement room. For the price, however it was worth it so overall a decent day, but it could be improved with just a few minor changes.

Response from VrboOwner on Dec 5, 2025
Absolutely, I leave the laundry supplies for guests that would like to do laundry while at the house. The 4th bedroom is clearly described in the description and there was a 5th room available if they chose but they did not rent it. Important to read details about a home before critiquing it when it was all clearly spelled out.
