About this property

Romantic Penrose Cabin w/ Pond, Trails & Hot Tub

'Peaceful Getaway' is a secluded cabin designed for couples looking to slip away together. This Penrose vacation rental offers unstructured days and a place to unplug from everyday routines. Set on wooded land with a pond, flowing streams, private hiking trails, and small waterfalls, the setting feels immersive and expansive. Start your mornings savoring coffee outside and feeding the fish. Evenings invite unwinding in the hot tub, good conversation around the fire, and a home-cooked meal!

My husband and I had a wonderful getaway. The cabin and property were wonderful. Very clean and we loved the pond, outdoor fireplace and hot tub! Location was perfect for day trips to go hiking to see all the beautiful waterfalls. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog so she could join us on the hikes. The owners were very helpful with any questions we had. I highly recommend.

Great getaway

Great property. Had everything I needed. Hot tub was awesome...Fireplace and feeding the trout in the pond was great. Did some hiking around the property...so quiet and peaceful taking a walk in the woods. Hosts were great to communicate with. Very helpful. Cabin was clean, everything worked...nice appliances...once I figured out the wi-fi setting on my phone it worked great..internet connection was quick...May sound a little strange, but the towels were big and fluffy. I love good towels...short drive to Hendersonville, Brevard, Dupont state forest. Great hide away...If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world, you should come here. Highly recommended...One of the best places I have stayed at. 5 days/nights Definitely a place to come back to.Tom

The Perfect Getaway

We happened to plan our trip for right after Hurricane Helene when the parks were closed, but this property really made up for it! It is as good or better than the pictures, with short hikes and an awesome outdoor fireplace. Wonderful hosts, great for kids, pet friendly - 5 stars.

Perfect spot for a few days away after Christmas. Clean, spacious, and well appointed cabin! Close to great hiking and all the area has to offer.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This property is adorable! The house is beautifully updated and well stocked with everything we needed for a great family weekend. It sits on beautiful land with a perfect spot for an evening fire and s’mores. We hiked in nearby DuPont National Forest so the location was perfect too! We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful spot

I spent a week there with my daughters. The cabin was beautiful, everything was as promised, and the location was a short ride from our favorite hikes, natural water slides and camping/fishing spots. I definitely recommend.

Wonderful country cabin

A really lovely, peaceful place. Well-stocked. Super gracious owner/hosts. The outdoor setting is great - places to relax, enjoy the pond, feed the fish, soak in the hot tub, hike, and more. Just the best. We will return for sure.

Excellent Stay!!

I want to thank Scott (owner) for his wonderful hospitality. The stay at this cabin was best time we've had in the NC mountains. The cabin itself was very clean and the property was kept up very well. My family had a great time. The location is awesome!! With only a 15 minute drive, you can be at some very family friendly outdoor activities. I would stay again and would recommend to family and friends.

Perfect family getaway

The property was exceptionally clean and everything was as stated online. My family had a wonderful time on the trails, at the fire pit (every single night!), feeding and watching the fish in the pond, relaxing in the hot tub, and exploring the little creeks on the trails. We never even left the property!

We were looking for a nice quite place to stay while our kids were attending a summer camp near by. we visited lots of breweries and wineries. Also took lots of hikes in the Dupont State Forest and Pisgah National Park. Cabin had everything you needed and was neat and clean. we loved building fires in the evenings
