The cabin was beautiful and cozy. The hosts are very detail oriented and left thoughtful treats for our stay. We came for an event at the Mt. Airy Farm, so the location was perfect. Thank you, Doc and Melanie. Our only regret was not having time for a pottery class.

One of the best places to stay! Doc and Melanie have put a lot of care into this property and making sure you have everything you would need and more! It’s definitely a hidden gem tucked into a mountain (The driveway is a little steep but not too bad). The cabin is beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice for the craftsmanship put into it. From the little complimentary gifts and pottery class to the horses right next door, it was such a cozy stay. Would recommend!

The rooms were very clean. The area is spectacular with nature all around with the sound of birds with your morning coffee or tea. The cabin is cozy and comfortable with two beds upstairs in the loft and a bed in the downstairs bedroom. The great room has a seating with tv, books, and games to play. There is a full kitchen if you are interested in cooking. The hosts are wonderfully kind and attentive to details. They are true artists and have a working pottery studio next door. This is a great place to stay. I’m sure we will be back again!

We spent 4 wonderful days at the Potter's Cabin. It is located at the top of a mountain about 20 minutes outside Asheville. We went into the city a few times but we much preferred the peace of the cabin.The hosts, Melanie and Doc, were wonderful. The cabin was wonderfully decorated and very comfortable. Included in the stay was a pottery lesson in Doc's pottery studio right next door. It was great fun and Doc is a patient teacher!We look forward to returning in the future!Thank you for our wonderful visit Melanie and Doc!

Great Experience

The Pottery cabin was a great place to stay. Loved the way it was decorated, it felt like a home away from home. The hosts were great. We loved the pottery lesson. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay.

Outstanding in every possible sense. The setting, the accommodation, the small details, the attentiveness of our host - an absolutely heavenly place to unwind and recharge. The free pottery session topped off a perfect couple of days. An absolute gem.

Great place to stay

I loved loved loved staying at the pottery cabin for my weekend getaway! The pottery lesson was amazing ( plus we get to pick colors to have it glazed and then sent to us ) and the overall vibe was very homey. It was my first time planning a trip like this and im already thinking about my next time coming and staying at the Pottery. 10/10 experience.

We were totally impressed with everything about our stay. The cottage was beautiful and very cozy. The hosts were great. The cottage was set with anything one could want. The pottery session was one of the highlights of our entire vacation. I can honestly say this was our favorite VRBO EVER!!!!

Amazing stay

Wow! This is a truly incredible stay. Melanie and Doc have made a beautiful home filled with so many personal touches. Spending time in the studio with Doc was such a treat. The cabin is private, thoughtfully stocked with everything you may need, and a convenient 25 minute drive to Asheville. I can’t wait to come back.

Mountain Getaway

Fantastic accommodations, the amenities and the little extras that Doc and Melanie put out were over the top. We've stayed at a lot of places but never any place that we felt as welcomed as at the Pottery Cabin. The pottery lesson was a nice touch too. Talk peace and seclusion and comfort, it is all there. You owe to yourself to try this one, plus your only a short drive from most all attractions.

Beautiful cabin in beautiful Leicester, NC!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Potters Cabin! The hosts, Doc and Melanie made sure that every possibility necessity was at hand. We were greeted with a note, a bottle of wine and homemade baked goods! The cabin is charming and well equipped. It even has a small stable and two horses. We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable and relaxing stay!

Weekend Mountain Getaway

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at the Pottery Cabin. Everything was very clean and the host went above and beyond for us. Also, the complimentary pottery class was a lot of fun. The location to downtown Asheville was great as it was only a quick 30 minute drive. The only thing that I would say to be aware of is the size of the driveway can make parking large trucks/SUVs a little challenging.

Cozy Cabin in the Woods

We absolutely loved our stay at the Pottery Cabin! There are sweet thoughtful touches throughout the cabin to make your stay more comfortable. We came to explore Asheville but our time at the cabin was the highlight of our trip. Melanie is so sweet and fun to talk to. Doc was patient and helpful during our pottery lesson. My brother-in-law left wanting to take up pottery as a hobby! Thanks Doc and Melanie for your hospitality!

The pictures in the listing do not do justice to this beautiful place. Incredible amount of thoughtful touches that were really heartwarming and appreciated. Super clean, comfy bed, nice shower…a delicious homemade pastry, plus yogurt and fruits and waters, teas and coffee, all were waiting there for our first morning. It is very private. It is blissfully quiet. The pottery was wonderful, and Doc was so kind to work with during our one-hour lesson. Did not meet Melanie, but her warm and caring presence was felt throughout. Altogether a wonderful, restful stay in this cozy, beautiful cottage.
