Wonderful secluded cabin. Perfect to relax and to take in nature. Saw a white squirrel one morning as he hung out on the deck. Loved having the hot tub for an early morning soak. Highly recommend.

Love the location! It was so quiet and peaceful, and we saw a white squirrel. It is nice to stay between Hendersonville and Brevard. We were able to visit both towns and the farms and produce stands between them. The house is comfortable and spacious. Living room furniture needs updating, but that’s my only complaint.

Cozy stay and great location

We had a great time and enjoyed the very clean hot tub and well equipped kitchen. The beds were a little soft for our personal taste but not too bad (I only mention it to help other firm mattress lovers out there!)

Weekend getaway

Really enjoyed our stay here, especially the hot tub and how close we were to some of the mountain trails. The road and driveway to access the house are a bit steep and tricky to navigate at first but we got used to it by the end.
