Wedding Weekend
Our daughter was getting married at Jeter Mountain Farm. This house was very close to the venue which was wonderful! The house was very clean and had everything you would need. The owner, Brian, was great…as well as his dogs!

A wonderful property with a very responsive host.
It is a beautiful fully equipped, safe, spacious and clean cabin. Very close to downtown Asheville but in the quiet country. Host went above and beyond. We had two small kids and a small dog with us and enjoyed the property very much. The land around the house is also very well kept and lovely. Would definitely consider staying again.

Peaceful retreat
We enjoyed staying here while I attended an event at the Kanuga Conference Center. The cabin is about two miles from Kanuga. It’s close to all the eateries and other amenities in Hendersonville and Flat Rock. The house is comfortable and well stocked. If we return to the area we would stay here again. The fall colors are magnificent, with beautiful views in every direction.

Wren’s Place
Lovely cottage situated between Brevard & Hendersonville. We enjoyed our stay utilizing the cottage as base camp for daily adventures around the area. It is VERY quiet on the property which we loved. Deer would be seen grazing in the late afternoons. Kitchen was really well outfitted (and we cook a lot!). Beds were comfortable with nice linens. Bathrooms were spacious. Great wood burning fireplace. The highlight for each day was our evening visit from Wren & Ozzy (generally Wren). The owners dogs were perfect ambassadors for the property!! If you want a comfortable, well outfitted home you can’t go wrong here. If you are a mountain biker it is 5 mins from Kanuga Bike Park. Only caveat is it is up a “North Carolina” driveway. Approach is bumpy gravel and steep. Not an issue for us in a truck. We enjoyed our stay!!!
Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023
