About this property

Morning Glory Cottage - Amazing Mountain Views with Total Privacy!

Relax and enjoy beautiful mountain views and spectacular mountain sunrises from your bed or from the spacious back deck. Covered rocking chair front porch too! Escape the noise, traffic and humdrum of our 21st century rat race and enjoy the tranquility, peace and quiet of our secluded location in the gated Deer Run Estates in beautiful Western North Carolina. Stroll or hike through the beautiful hardwood forests and enjoy the wildlife that abounds, or relax and enjoy the seclusion and breathe the clean, fresh and crisp mountain air.

We are only a short drive to Chimney Rock State Park and Lake Lure, which has been described by National Geographic as the most beautiful man made lake in the world. Golf courses, whitewater rafting, hiking trails, ziplining, riding stables and many more recreational venues are just a short drive away.

If shopping and/or nightlife are of interest to you, we are located a mere 7 miles from Chimney Rock and Lake Lure,16 miles from historic Hendersonville,17 miles from the center of artistic Black Mountain and 23 miles from the city of Asheville.

Our rental home has all this to offer but its' secluded mountain location and vistas make it truly unique!

Clean house; peaceful setting, clear communication

Absolutely lovely. Great night views, fire pit. The Fire TVs were great for streaming and the satellite internet had plenty of speed. We appreciated the snacks too - we saw that Poppy popcorn all over town and got to try it before we left.

Beautiful view!! Very quiet and private!

The house was very quaint and the porch and view were amazing! The kitchen was well equipped but the fridge did take a long while to cool down however and the quilt on the master suite bed smelled like Ben-Gay, assuming the last renter wore it and it wasnt washed. Property description should note that an SUV is necessary to travel the roads. I know the area has been through a lot, but a warning would be great. Overall, great house and we had a nice time visiting.

Such a clean, charming, and cozy home! Gorgeous view, exactly like the photos. It is a bit far from a grocery store, so the snacks that were generously provided were a treat on my first night. The area was heavily effected by Hurricane Helene, so it's humbling to see all of the damage against the backdrop of these beautiful mountains. Black mountain was about 35 minutes away, it's a nice drive and plenty to do once you are there. My time at Morning Glory was just the recharge I was hoping for. I would absolutely return for another long weekend. Thank you for the hospitality! Side note: The road getting to the cabin was a bit difficult to drive on. Highly recommend having four wheel or all wheel drive.

The cottage was a drive from Black Mountain but we expected that, just with the road issues it took a bit longer than expected although no one’s fault. There was progress during the week we were there. Cottage was cozy and a relaxing experience. My only big issue was the cleanliness. I did reach out to the property manager on day two and she offered to refund if we wanted to check out the following morning but it would have been too difficult to find another place on such short notice so we stayed. Basics like the tub, toilets, overall kitchen cleanliness, beds etc. were fine but the place really needs some deep cleaning as it appears to have been “let go”. Things like cleaning the doors (magic erasers work wonders), some walls, oven, rugs, cobwebs, edges around the floors in all rooms, windows, etc needs some attention. There was a new gas grill in used several times which was great. The view is stunning no doubt which is what drew us in, just wish I had felt a bit more comfortable with the cleanliness. Might also consider updating the furniture especially in the living room. Thanks.

Perfect Short Stay

We had a couple of days before we had to be in Charlotte for a wedding and this was the perfect place to spend our time. It was beautiful and quaint, yet close enough to enjoy the city life. 10/10 would stay here again.

Mountain escape

Very peaceful and scenic getaway. Our family and 2 dogs were looking for some nature time and Erin's property was a great fit. Plenty of space and the kitchen was well appointed which is very appreciated. Would definitely consider this location again next time we're in the area.

A beautiful cozy secluded cottage with spectacular mountain view.

The pictures on the listing are what drew us to this beautiful secluded cottage and we were not disappointed! We enjoyed the quiet seclusion and breathtaking views. We enjoyed a scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway for more mountain views and stopped for good food at My Father's Pizza, (We ate there more than once). And we enjoyed a visit from a small black bear. We had a good view of her from our dining room window. We highly recommend the Morning Glory Cottage!

Beautiful Cabin with plenty of Soace to Relax

My fiancé and I stayed here for 5 days and it was truly an amazing getaway. Safe, quiet, and BEAUTIFUL. The cabin came with all the essentials and was very clean and cozy. It’s about a 45-50min drive from Asheville so plan accordingly but it was perfect four our trip. Highly recommended.
