My family spent Christmas 2025 here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was clean, peaceful, and incredibly comfortable, and the mountain views were just stunning. The hosts were wonderful — very responsive, thoughtful, and even put up Christmas decorations, which made our holiday stay feel extra special.They were also extremely helpful and patient, even when I reached out on Christmas evening. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet getaway with beautiful views.

One of the best views we have ever had. We stay in the mountains every year and this was by far the best veiw. You can veiw the sunrise and sunset from the deck. Private, yet 10 minutes from a nice little city with just about anything you need. The host was very attentive to any queries. The house is well maintained and has been, i believe, been updated in the last 5 or so years. I would highly recommend. Plenty of space for a couple families with kids. We vrbo a lot and have found that you cant trust many pics, these are better than advertised.

Gorgeous house in a gorgeous area

It was hard to do anything other than sit on the deck or in the hot tub. It's a gorgeous area and the house layout worked really well for our two families. Watching the stars from the hot tub is a magical experience.

The beds and living area were great for snuggling up in the evenings and it was the perfect home base with access to Little Switzerland, Spruce Pine and the North Cove area. Highly recommend!!

We had a Wonderful and Relaxing stay at the Fox and Hen! The hosts provided so many comforting things. When we would think of something we might need, it was already there. The detailed instructions that were given in advance to enter the home, use the hot tub, fireplace, places to hike and restaurants to visit, etc were very helpful. Great attention to detail! The comfort of the entire home and the views from the home, back deck of the mountains were above and beyond Gorgeous! Warm, cozy, inviting and lovely would describe this Fantastic get away! My added favorite part was using my 4x4 to navigate the roads to the home...so FUN! Thank you for sharing your Lovely Home, Hospitality, Kindness and Generosity! We cannot thank you enough! We look forward to bringing out family here one day.

A fantastic friends trip

Three of us friends had a really great time in this unique place! The deck and views are incredible - we kept talking about how they were so beautiful they looked fake! We cooked there and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for us to relax and the smart TVs were great. We enjoyed the town of Little Switzerland, spent ab afternoon in Asheville and had a great time at the alpine coaster (get the 3-pack!). We will definitely be back!!!

A nice stay

We have been staying at this house for years, but this was our first stay since the new owners purchased it. The rental price hike was steep, especially for just two or four guests. They made some nice, simple cosmetic updates in the loft, which were long overdue. Our friends we invited to join us stayed in the main level bedroom and said the mattress was terribly uncomfortable, so I felt bad about that. The kitchen and upstairs bathroom need blinds or a shade, especially since one of the exterior cameras on that side of the house unnecessarily points directly toward the house, which is a bit creepy. The view from the deck is still one of the best. Based on VRBO’s rating system, I gave it a 5-star rating, but I wanted to be honest and provide the best feedback I can.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Nov 2022
Thank you very much for the feedback. We are new owners and have begun the process of refreshing the entire cabin from top to bottom. While we still have some work to do we’ve purchased all new living room furniture (West Elm, Mitchell and Gold) new carpet, new bed frames, new coffee center (Nespresso and unlimited pods), new french linen bedding and towels, new outdoor furniture, and a new foosball table. Most importantly, we take our guests privacy very seriously. We can assure our guests that the cameras only capture the exterior of the cabin and they are turned off immediately upon confirming the safe arrival of the correct number of guests. With regard to the bed, we wish you would have reached out as it is a sleep number bed and completely adjustable. We’re confident we would have able to help your guests get more comfortable. Again, we appreciate your feedback and you’ll see even more improvements at the cabin upon your next visit!

Motorcycle trip

Our stay was short but wonderful! The chalet is as described and pictured, it is very clean and welcoming. The view was unbelievable and sitting on the deck was a treat for your soul. The only issue we had was a trailer and a motorcycle, the road in is not friendly to either of those. This property is a gem but Austin, is a person of such kindness and integrity that meeting him even via email made the trip that much better. Go!! It’s awesome!
