Pictures don’t do The Loverly justice! We had an amazing stay, all the little details were so wonderful. Fireplace in bedroom was very nice on the cold mornings! Hot tub was great, very private, even enjoyed the morning we left. Brea is a very gracious host and very attentive! We were lucky to be there the day the road to Chimney Rock opened back up and got to patronize all those folks hard hit by Helene so that was an added bonus! We will definitely be back!

Brandon, your words genuinely made my day! I'm so glad The Loverly exceeded expectations — that's exactly what I hope for every guest. Those chilly mountain mornings are just made for a bedroom fireplace, aren't they? And the hot tub privacy is one of my favorite features of that property, so I love that you enjoyed it right up until the moment you left! What a special bit of timing to be there when the road to Chimney Rock reopened — that community has shown such incredible resilience after Helene, and every dollar spent there means so much to those folks rebuilding. You were part of something meaningful that morning without even planning it. We'd love to welcome you back to The Loverly anytime. The mountains will be here waiting! 🏔️

Brea was responsive and assisted in every way before, during, and after our stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated and each area is spacious. The experience couldn’t have been better executed: Brea’s pre-visit communication, stocked items (the bath salts, soaps, and lotions are all lovely, the linens are delightful, and the coffee was delicious), thorough cleanliness, and total location privacy. We can’t wait to visit the Loverly again!

Dear Jill, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! It was truly a pleasure hosting you at the Loverly, and I'm delighted that every aspect of your stay exceeded your expectations. I'm especially touched that you enjoyed the bath products and linens – creating that spa-like experience for my guests is something I take great pride in. Knowing that the cottage felt spacious, beautifully appointed, and offered you the privacy you were seeking means the world to me. Your appreciation for the details makes all the care I put into the Loverly so worthwhile.

Everything was perfect. Our Host called us to make sure we got in and everything was in order. She was very helpful in getting us around the area and had great suggestions for food and beverage. The cabin was very clean and cozy, the hot tub was amazing, and being secluded was just what my wife and I needed.

This is such a relaxing and cozy environment. The host is fantastic and keeps the cottage immaculate. We truly loved our stay. It's about a 1/2-hour drive to downtown Asheville and Biltmore: a gorgeous drive and lots of good coffee shops. We really wanted to see a bear but had no luck.Would absolutely recommend staying here.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It truly made our day to read how much you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. There’s nothing we love more than knowing our guests felt relaxed and at home here. We’re so glad you appreciated the drive into Asheville – it really is beautiful, isn’t it? And yes, the coffee shops along the way are definitely a bonus! As for the bears – they can be quite elusive! They’re around (especially this time of year), but they tend to keep their distance, which is probably for the best. Maybe they’ll make an appearance on your next visit? We’d love to have you back anytime. Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon! Warm regards, Brea

Really cute place for a romantic get away! Very thoughtful instructions for different things around the house made it super easy & answered all our questions! Loved the ease of the gas fireplaces and overall had a wonderful time. Not a huge issue for us since we are early risers but master bedroom gets a lot of natural light & moonlight so bring your eyemask if you prefer a super dark room! House was very clean and comfortable. Brea was also very helpful and made sure to check in with us to make sure we were settled and had eveything we needed.

Richard, Thank you so much for the wonderful review of my property! I'm thrilled to hear that you found it to be the perfect romantic, private retreat. Providing a clean, well-appointed space for my guests to relax and unwind is my top priority. I'm so glad the location worked well for you - close enough to local attractions, but far enough away to feel like your own private oasis. Being able to come back at the end of the day and enjoy the hot tub or cozy up by the fire was exactly like the kind of experience I aimed to create. Hearing that the best part of your stay was simply spending quality time together in this peaceful setting is music to my ears. That's truly what a vacation should be all about. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience - it means so much and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon! Brea

About the host

Hosted by Brea Gratia & David Robinson

Host profile image
I've been managing our properties since 2006. Started with one property and now we have 4. I'm an esthetician and spa owner. I know comfort and you'll find the Loverly is spa-like in its decor. I love making my guests feel at home and comfortable. I look forward to hosting you at the Loverly.

Why they chose this property

I wanted a special place for a couple. This place has so much to offer. A beautiful location, fireplace in living room and bedroom (how romantic is that), two baths, a sunroom, a gazebo and I placed a firepit in there, added a deck with a 4-person hot tub. It is luxury for sure.

What makes this property unique

Zero gravity bed with reclining features, fireplace in bedroom as well as living room, romantic hot tub and firepit in the screened-in gazebo. Plenty of things to keep you at the property, but close to Asheville, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. It is centrally located and close to the airport as well.
