Beautiful and cozy! The cottage was very clean and inviting. The price for my 3 day stay was not bad for what was there to utilize. Everything was as it should be, and I am already planning a second trip in the fall to Swannanoa and will reserve this same place, if available!

It's as good in person as online!!

My wife and I stayed here with a couple of friends for my birthday weekend, and it was idyllic. The views are incredible and the cabin is nicely appointed with everything you might need. The road to the cabin is a bit steep and narrow, but we made it in a 2wd minivan. :)

Loved our stay

We loved our stay. The only drawback is the drive to the house. Lots of lower income properties affected by hurricane, so a lot of dirt and not so great views. Once at the house, the story is different, beautiful views. The house was clean. Beds were hard but okay to sleep on. Good appliances. Overall great stay

Home base for hurricane relief

My mom and I traveled to WNC to bring supplies and volunteer with Samaritan's purse. The location of this cabin was perfect - very close to Asheville, Black Mountain, and Old Fort.

Winter Getaway

Property was exactly as described! Perfect weekend getaway. The road up to the cabin was still well intact after the storm. The surrounding devastation was very apparent but every business we stopped by was so thankful to have customers(tourists) coming back. The cabin itself has a great deck for long range views and the indoor fireplace was perfect for the cold winter nights! Would stay again 10/10

Lovely little cabin up on a holler in NC. Was exactly what our family needed after the recent loss of loved ones. Nearby Black Mountain is a great little town.

Great Place with Awesome View

This place is a gem. If you’re looking to be off to yourself in nature but with amenities of home this is perfect. So convenient to the Blue Ridge Pkwy, Catawba Falls, Black Mountain, and Asheville. The place was clean and tastefully decorated with an amazing view off the back deck. We’d definitely come back!

Perfect spot for our family

This was such a nice escape up the mountain—the views, the peace and quiet—all while still being close enough to explore the surrounding sites. It was the perfect size for our family of four (two young children). We loved this well appointed space—a lovely cabin tucked into a beautiful setting.

Mini Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in North Carolina. We are from Michigan and wanted a break from the cold weather and a change in scenery. While we were visiting we disc golfed and golfed. The home was perfect for what we needed. We were a bit confused because the listing says whole house but you either get the top floor or bottom floor. It's two rentals in one. We had no issues though, the other renters were quiet and the neighborhood was peaceful. For those thinking of staying here, I would highly recommend, just know that the drive up the mountain is a bit scary if you are not used to the incline. The home was perfect!
