Spring getaway for my wife and me. Location was main attraction with quick access to Hendersonville, Brevard, and Asheville. House is very nice and it’s always a plus to have a king size bed. Enjoyed sitting on back porch just relaxing and bonus of many nice shops, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops within an easy 5-20 minute drive.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are thrilled you and your wife enjoyed your spring getaway and appreciated our location. We hope to welcome you back in the future for another relaxing stay!
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was the perfect location. Easy travel to the hikes we went on and our visit to Biltmore. The house was so clean and everything we needed was provided. The digital guidebook was FANTASTIC and was so easy to access to find answers to our questions, but also as an easy spot for recommendations on food/things to do. We will definitely be back!
Wonderful hosts and amazing house! Incredibly clean and comfortable, perfect for a quick mountain getaway. Will definitely stay again. Thank you!

Everything was great at this house. We had all we needed and appreciate the place not being cluttered with decor, though the decor that was there was just enough. The location is awesome for Brevard, Hendersonville and Asheville.

Thank you for the nice review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay.
We picked this place because of its location and it was absolutely perfect. It was nice and quiet and there was excellent dining less than 2 miles. We enjoyed the Root & Bone and The Cilo House. Did some shopping in Fletcher and had to eat at Kosta’s but it changed its name but the food is still great. Had a couple of gorgeous sunsets too. Our host was available if needed but everything was great, so we didn’t bother them much. Cozy.

Thank you for your very nice and thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed our home during your stay and were able to take advantage of its many wonderful amenities. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us.
This home is immaculate with a stunning view off the back porch. It was incredibly clean, well stocked with everything you need. It was also very welcoming and comfortable. I stayed here with my daughters before my eldest daughter’s wedding, and we all said we wished we had more time here. It was a wonderful overall experience.

Hi! We’re Ron & Kathy of Hendersonville, NC. We are Vrbo Premier Hosts, co-hosts and owners of Tucked In Vacation Rentals. Ron is the details, jack-of-all-trades part of the business and Kathy adds her expertise from a career in hospitality. Together, we blend our skills to create memorable stays in properties we’ve selectively chosen and thoughtfully appointed. We love what we do and appreciate every guest that's trusted us to give them an unforgettable getaway over the years.😊
Why they chose this property
We purchased this cottage for many reasons. One being its condition - nearly brand new - and the level of quality of its construction. The builder is one of the best in the area. We also love its location. The cottage is so close to so many cool towns, activities and attractions. Literally, head out in any direction from the cottage and you will find so much to do, and just minutes away!
We also like that the cottage is less than a half-mile to US-64, which is a main route through the area. We're happy, and we think our guests will be to, that time is not wasted traveling gravel, narrow and winding roads to reach it. We're also excited the future Ecusta Trail will pass just below the cottage. The ET is an old railroad bed being converted to a multi-use trail that will connect the towns of Hendersonville and Brevard.
What makes this property unique
The blend of quality, comfort, cleanliness, location, mountain view and value make this property stand out above the rest in the area. It's a true gem!
