Everything was amazing! The entire home and hot tub were immaculate. The host thought of every amenity you could think of. The views were breathtaking! We created memories that will never be forgotten among three couples who have been friends for over 25 years. We will definitely be back to make many more.

We stayed at this cabin for a bachelorette trip and had such a great time overall! The space was perfect for our group—clean, cozy, and exactly what we needed for a fun and relaxing getaway. The views and scenery were absolutely beautiful and made the whole experience feel even more special.The host was excellent with communication—super responsive, helpful, and made everything very easy from booking through our stay.The only thing I’d mention for future guests is the drive up. It’s definitely a bit of an adventure—steep, winding, and something to be prepared for, especially if you’re not used to mountain roads. That said, once you get there, the scenery and peaceful setting make it completely worth it.All the girls and myself had an amazing time and would absolutely stay again!

Amazing Spring Break

My family had a great time staying in the cabin! The view of the mountains is breathtaking and the amenities inside were wonderful. Travis was very helpful checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and in giving us suggestions on places nearby to visit. We didn't even leave the cabin two of our days here because it was such a relaxing retreat! We will definitely be back in the future!

Private Getaway

As the other reviews say this place is incredible. The little touches like the gift of eggs and honey and an actually clean rental cabin were a nice welcome. The privacy and seclusion where you don't see a single other house or light at night make it easy to relax in the hot tub or by the firepit. The little adventure up the mountain makes it worth it not to mention the two creeks to explore. Maybe 30 ish minutes to downtown Asheville was convenient too.

Perfect Wedding Week Stay

We stayed here the week of our wedding and had the best time. The house and the views are even more beautiful than the photos. It’s very spacious and had all the kitchen essentials. We had multiple family members request the listing link once they saw it in person. Will 100% be back.

The location, house, and host made this an exemplary trip! It’s difficult to find a house with 3 King bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Perfect for our group of 3 couples getting together from different locations. We didn’t leave the house because the view is breathtaking!

Outstanding property

My family spent 8 nights in August at this beautiful property. The cabin is perfect. Wonderful kitchen, bathrooms, and furnishings. Cleanest rental I've ever stayed in. The outdoor deck and patio are perfect and the view is amazing. Take advantage of the trails right out your door. The hosts are wonderful...so responsive to any questions. You can't beat this property!

Best View in North Carolina!

No I'm serious, this place is awesome, but the view is completely unbeleivable. No other people exist in this view, it mostly Pisgah National Forest. It feels like you are the only people on earth when you are here. The house is perfect. We are going backfire week in April! Highly recommended, great hosts and the best accommodations!

Amazing Christmas!

What an amazing VRBO! This has to be our favorite place by far! Between the view, hot tub, fire-pit, fabulous kitchen and well thought out floor plan, our stay was storybook! The Pisgah trails were awesome and you absolutely don’t want to leave unless you have to because it is so heavenly! We were even more blessed when we asked to add another day and Travis was very accommodating! Thanks for everything, Travis and Rosemary!

Thanksgiving Week 2023

We loved every minute of our stay. There aren’t enough good things to say. The minute you walk in the front door you immediately feel at home and closing the door when you leave is bittersweet. I highly recommend this home to anyone who wants the beauty of the mountains, the isolation and peaceful vibe, a perfect place to restart your soul! The house is also stocked with anything you might need. The hosts have done a perfect job.

Best VRBO Experience Yet!

My wife and I have stayed at many VRBOs over the years and this place is the best! Amazing views, hiking, birding and fabulous solitude. We saw 23 species of birds right from the deck, including Scarlet Tanagers, Indigo Buntings and several species of Warblers. You can also hike right out the door on a well-maintained forest road. The cabin was extremely clean, well-stocked with great furniture. We ended up buying some of the deck furniture we used during the week. Travis and Rosemary were incredible hosts! We can't wait to got back!
