Amazing property. Tucked away in the woods, yet close to so many rivers, trails, and towns. We used this property as basecamp during a recent fly fishing trip, and it was perfect! Can't wait till or next visit.

Serenade Shores

Beautiful and serene setting. House was perfect for four adults and a 17 year old who loved the loft! We used the grill, ate lots of meals on the porch, walked our dog around the pond and listened to the frogs on the pond. Kitchen was ample. In house washer and dryer. Beds were comfortable. We had a peaceful time- just what we wanted!

Get away

We just wanted some time away and this is a perfect, quiet spot to do just that. It was very cold this weekend but we did not mind. Our dog loves to walk around the pond and sniff everything. She loves it there, so do we. Very comfortable there and feels like home. RF

Great 2nd visit

We loved staying at this house last year, and loved it again this year. It is clean, and every possible thing you might want or need has been thought of and provided . It’s so peaceful sitting out on the porch in the rocking chairs listening to the birds and bullfrogs. Our dogs loved playing in the field. Hiking, restaurants and shopping are all convenient. It’s really a wonderful place. We did miss the cows coming to visit like they did last year though, and wondered what happened to them.

Mountain Retreat

Our 12 night stay was exceptional! High quality furnishings and appliances. Colleen was very responsive to any questions and check in was super easy. The house had everything we needed and was immaculate. We all enjoyed the porch with the peaceful view of the pond, although my husband didn’t have much luck fishing. Access to both Brevard and Hendersonville was less than 20 minutes and both towns were charming. We would suggest some sort of anti skid tape/guard for the last step from the loft.

Gorgeous Property

The house was beautiful and very comfortable. All appointments were up to date… kitchen equipment was high end and brand new. The beds were very comfortable. Large screen tv in icing room and both bedrooms. Beautiful roomy showers in bathrooms. Full size washer/dryer. A beautiful pond right outside living room and huge covered porch with rockers, picnic table and chairs and grill. We loved it.

Wonderful

From start to finish we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay. Chris and Colleen were wonderful hosts. Had a minor repair that Chris promptly fixed and made better than before. Super nice people that made our stay the best we have ever experienced. Comfy king beds. Clean. Nice TV’s. Plenty of chairs on porch. Two fire pits to choose from. One with a waterfall near it. Perfect for two couples. Good hiking nearby. Lake view very relaxing and private. Thank you Chris and Colleen, we had a great vacation!

We stayed at Serenade Shores for 5 nights, 20-25 October 2025, and had a great time. The location is very convenient and while staying there we took a number of day trips. We went to Lake Junaluska, Brevard, Hendersonville, and Greenville South Carolina. We had a lot of great food including some top bakery. The home was very comfortable with 2 master suites, bathrooms in suite. We very much enjoyed “Porch Therapy” in the evenings and woke up to misty mountain mornings. Colleen was a superb host who was very responsive when we had text communication. Serenade Shores was a 5 Star experience for us in every way! This was our second visit and we plan to come again!

10/10 from start to finish!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience staying here. We had no issue getting there or getting into the house. It was exceptionally clean and smelled pleasant without smelling overpoweringly of cleaners or scents. We appreciated that the owners provided all the basic necessities for cooking (especially basic spices and aluminum foil.) The beds were very comfortable. Everything felt very clean and unlived in, but it was still welcoming and homey, so we felt settled in immediately. The view is spectacular. It unfortunately rained for most of our trip, so we weren’t able to make use of the fire pits, but we still enjoyed having the beautiful pond and little waterfall area. The indoor fireplace served as a lovely alternative.Our niece who visited us during our stay loved playing up in the loft. The loft was private enough and had a direct, fairly private route to a bathroom that I would have felt comfortable sleeping there if we had 3 couples staying at the house. The only thing we would have changed would have been a little more seating in the living room. A loveseat or chair with an ottoman instead of the occasional chair would be perfect. We loved that our dog was welcome and could tell the owners are dog lovers too. We hope to revisit again soon!

Perfect in Every way!!

My Husband and I stayed 3 nights in this beautiful home. The description and photos were exactly as described, only better! Exceptionally clean! We had everything we needed and then some. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the deck and rocking chairs. We sat there every morning while we had our coffee and enjoyed the solitude. The pond was so pretty and peaceful. The grass had just been cut and the grounds were well maintained. We were able to walk around the pond. My husband did a little fishing (didn't catch anything but he enjoyed trying). The property is very private. We never saw anyone! The location was perfect for out activities. We loved staying here and will definitely book again. Thank you so much! Sondra and Bob Skibbe

Y our home was absolutely awesome! It was spacious and inviting. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. We used the porch everyday to watch the fish, turtles, and birds. We enjoyed watching the rain while sitting on the porch too. The inside of you home was very open. We are all glad that you shared your home with us and allowed us to spend a great weekend away.

PRIVACY AND NATURE

If you are looking for time away from the rat race and want a lovely serene setting, then this is the place. You can spend an entire week there without seeing another soul. Not that is what we did with all the fantastic restaurants and sights, but it can be done. We went into Asheville numerous times as well as Hendersonville and Brevard. All have something to offer. The home it self was spacious, but the huge porch and rockers made the place. Even in the pouring rain, the porch was the place to be!!!! Colleen was a superb host and attended to our needs. Always quick with a response. Only thing missing for the ladies was a full length mirror. Will definitely go back.

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Snyder

We have lived in the Asheville area since 2004. We moved here to be close to all the outdoor activities we love! We are mountain bikers and also enjoy hiking the area trails with our two dogs. Colleen is a full-time Realtor and Chris is retired from the YMCA. We have several long-term rental properties and have operated a successful vacation rental, Serenade Cove, since 2008. This is our second vacation rental and the first home we have ever had custom designed and built.

Why they chose this property

When the opportunity to buy this land was offered to us, we jumped at it! We started construction on the home in 2018 and finished in January 2019. We love this location because it is so close to the outdoor attractions we frequent: Pisgah National Forest, Dupont State Forest, the French Broad and Davidson rivers, and the wonderful downtown areas of Brevard and Hendersonville.

What makes this property unique

We designed the home to offer two comfortable, identically-sized bedrooms with en-suite baths for couples and families. The loft offers additional sleeping space with a queen-sized platform bed and a foldout Serta loveseat which converts to a full-sized bed (no bar). The gathering space is an open concept kitchen/dining/living area with a vaulted ceiling and stone fireplace. There is also a mud room/laundry room just inside the back door. Two sets of sliding glass doors open onto a large covered deck for enjoying the pond view, listening to the waterfall and breathing the fresh mountain air.
