perfect location for hiking and close to hendersonville. Great yard and outdoor area. Clean and what we were looking for, only suggestion would be updating the interior some, more outdoor lighting at night. Loved our stay.

Quaint, remote house that was great for a weekend get away. Close enough to stores/town but far enough away to feel like you were out in the country. The kids loved the hot tub and walking down the dirt road to see visit the local cows. The hosts were great and super quick to respond to questions. Thanks for having us!

Great spot for spending time with family

Enjoyed our stay! Nice little house with beautiful surrounding. Great fenced in yard for dogs and big open yard for running around with a creek going through it. We had a wonderful weekend with the family at Starry Nights.

Fabulous!

Perfect location for daytime hiking/biking in Pisgah and Dupont. The teenagers enjoyed shopping in Asheville and the adults enjoyed visiting the local breweries. The house was well appointed with an abundance of supplies. We will be back!

Home away from home!

We always love being at Starry Night. We feel right at home. It is well furnished, without a lot of "stuff" sitting around begging to get broken. I and my son have allergies to mold, mildew, etc., never a problem here. Robert couldn't be better to work with. We will be back!

Peaceful, cozy & dog friendly

We enjoyed our stay at Starry Night. The house & property were very clean & well maintained. The house was very well stocked & very pet friendly (owners provided dog toys, bowls, towels, and fenced dog yard- our dog really enjoyed the toys). The property is very quiet and peaceful. It is located close to Looking Glass Falls, Sliding Rock, Hendersonville, Brevard & DuPont State Park (all of which I recommend visiting). The owners were very pleasant to work with & provided helpful information. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for letting us enjoy this home!

Perfect for us!

Our family stayed at Starry Night for an April getaway and we couldn't have asked for a better location or amenities. The ability to bring along our older fur baby was fantastic. We are frequent visitors to the Hendrsonville and Brevard/Pisgah area with family close by. The location of this sweet little cottage was tucked out of town the ideal distance to have the mountain feel with the ability to be in downtown in 10-15 minutes! The incredibly equipped kitchen allowed us to make meals and the layout of the bedrooms provided privacy for all. We will cherish memories of the hottub under the stars - our sons favorite accomodation! We will definitely be back to Starry Night

Little piece of heaven

Out stay at Starry Night Horse Shoe House was the perfect getaway. We were close to the friends we were down to visit as well as many hiking trails. It was a short trip into Asheville or Hendersonville - we never lacked for something to do close by. The house was perfect for us. It is very serene and the nights in the hot tub looking at the stars were amazing. The house is clean, very well maintained and as beautiful as it is in the pictures. Robert has everything you need when you first arrive stocked and ready for you. He also has a basket in the living room with guides to eating and entertainment which we found very helpful. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone and everyone who would listen to me! We are already talking about our next trip down and are hoping to book this house again. Thank you for sharing you little piece of heaven with us, we had a fantastic stay!

Best Get-Away

This was our fifth stay at Starry Nights. The location is perfect - right in the mountains, but close to Hendersonville, Brevard, and Asheville. Pet friendly with fenced area was very convenient. The kitchen is well stocked, and the hot tub is a bonus. Robert (as always) was very helpful.

Fantastic Stay!

We had a lovely experience here and the house is just as it as described. It's a lovely home in the mountains with comfortable beds, laundry facilities and an easy location to find.

Good spot for those with a dog

Very tranquil setting and good location for heading east to Hendersonville and west to Brevard and access to recreational sites in the Pisgah Nathional Forest and Dupont State Forest. This is a good vacation rental for those with a dog. A small, fenced area is available, and the large, unfenced yard is nice for off-leash play with a dog.

A little slice of Heaven

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Starry Nights! It was conveniently located to all the major attractions as well as having everything we needed right at the house. Loved that it was dog friendly. The hot tub was a nice bonus to come back to after a long day hiking. Robert was friendly and responded promptly to all my emails. We will definitely be back!

3rd stay at Starry Night

This is our 3rd stay at Starry Night, comfortable, quiet, and easy access to major attractions. Starry Night is a home away from home with a nicely appointed kitchen, a hot tub, fenced yard, and Weber Kettle. We visit Asheville area often to visit family and friends and hope for a return stay at Starry Nights.

Amazing!

We stayed here for 2 months while we searched for a house to purchase and it was wonderful!! First of all it is fully stocked with anything you could possibly need, it was like being home. Second, it was the best setting, it was quiet and private, beautiful and peaceful. The farm next store had 9 baby lambs while we were there and it was such a great experience for us to watch as they pranced around the field like big bunnies. Everyone was super friendly. It is in a great location, convenient to everything, yet just off the beaten path. We would have moved to that area if we could have found a spot like that! And, it is SUPER dog friendly, equipped with bowls and toys for the pups. And lastly, the hot tub on the deck was the perfect place to enjoy the millions of stars in the black night sky. Book now, you will want to go back every year.

Definitely a "home away".

This home has every amenity you could ask for. The home is spacious and cozy and sits right at the bottom of a small mountain with a stream flowing through. Lots of yard space to enjoy, an outdoor fire pit, and dogs are welcome! Very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway for day trips. You will be very pleased!!!

Clean, comfortable, spacious house with stunning view - perfect place to be snowed in!

My sons and I arrived just in time to enjoy the winter storm of December 2018. Both the owner and property manager made sure we were well prepared for the storm. We could not have had a better time. The house was peaceful and comfortable and the surrounding area stunning - especially covered with snow. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Awesome property!

My friends and I rented this cute cottage for the weekend. It was a wonderful experience and we're already talking about renting it again next year. When I had questions, the property manager was timely in answering them, going so far as to make meal recommendations (which was so good!). The place itself was exactly as pictured. It was private but close to shops and restaurants. The hot tub was amazing after being busy during the day. All in all, a very pleasant experience that I hope to recreate!
