Cabin Christmas

Great little cabin near the small town of Etowah, NC. The cabin had everything needed for our stay, including a bottle of wine. We visited Biltmore and the town of Brevard while there. Asheville is about an hour drive while Brevard is a short trip. We ate at the Salty Landing in Etowah, which was very good. Lots of outdoor activities close by. Overall a great stay and would recommend.

Relaxing cabin getaway

The cabin was warm and inviting from the moment we arrived with music playing and a bottle of wine to greet us after a long drive. The remote fireplace is a nice touch too. It is very centrally located with respect to Asheville and the nearby waterfalls and hiking trails. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

The View!

Cabin was cozy with a beautiful view of the mountain. Very clean and equipped with everything you need for a nice stay. Since there is only one small full bath, it wouldn’t be good for a large group. Beautiful location in the country and the woods.

Amazing Stay at Serenade Cove

Photos are representative, but hard to do views and property justice. We loved our stay at Serenade Cove. Wonderful views, privacy, and great property. Very close to Pigsah and many other outdoor activities and attractions as well as Brevard, Hendersonville, and far enough, but not too far from Asheville (we prefer the hills/mountains). Very convenient to Etowah and some good local eats - don't miss out on the taco truck! Very fresh good food there. Cabin was perfect size for two of us, our dog, as well as some family visiting. We enjoyed just being at the cabin for relaxing and taking in the views and peaceful setting. One of our favorite overall VRBO's yet. Highly recommended!

4 of us stayed for a knitting retreat, included SAFF (fiber festival). The cabin was immaculate and every need was anticipated. we were greeted with a bottle of wine. we loved knitting on the porch and in front of the fire. My sister and I claimed the loft. Very comfortable and cozy. FYI: Uber eats delivers to this address !! This is just an exceptional vacation rental. You will love these accommodations

Beautiful Retreat

Serenade Cove is the perfect setting for a couple or small family to relax and/or explore for a week in the W NC mountains. The cabin is comfortable, organized, and well equipped. Although located in a beautifully remote rural setting it is just minutes from Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Forest, a short drive to the breweries of both Brevard & Hendersonville, and within striking distance of Asheville and the Biltmore (I also highly recommend a visit to the Dixie Diner at least one morning for breakfast, about 15 minutes away). The covered porch looking out across the valley at Fodderstack Mountain was where we spent most of the time while at the cabin — the rocking chairs, views, and forest sounds were the perfect complement to morning coffee and evening wine or whiskey (and also a great WFH spot for my wife). For younger adventurers the property has its own trail system with several intersecting loops that converge on a secret pond in the forest with its own small school of goldfish — a big hit with our 7 year old. We will be back next summer to get our fix of NC Mountain air!

2 week getaway

What a beautiful cottage with a beautiful view. I came down with my family for 2 weeks to get some peace and quiet and to relax. Wow this place was top notch. Colleen was amazing and the bottle of wine was a much needed extra piece of heaven. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious porch every morning and night. From watching the squirrels and the woodpeckers to just enjoying the fresh air was definitely what was needed. The house had everything you needed and felt like home. We will most definitely be back! 😊 5 stars ✨

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Snyder

We relocated to the mountains of western North Carolina in 2004 and bought the cabin and 6+ acres in 2006. It had been a long-time summer getaway for a family and was sorely in need of a makeover! We were able to refinish and keep the original pine floors but the entire home was gutted and remodeled. The layout was completely redesigned to allow for a comfortable, open floor plan and windows were added for more natural light. When the 15+ acres behind the property became available, we purchased it and opened up some old hiking trails that were overgrown. We purchased the 5+ acres with the pond below the cabin and built another larger vacation rental which is now available to rent: VRBO # 1551501.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting western North Carolina for years to hike and mountain bike. Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest are two of our favorite destinations. We feel fortunate to live in this area now and love sharing it with others.

What makes this property unique

Serenade Cove offers a hard-to-find combination of privacy and convenience. It is truly a cabin in the woods, and you feel like you are miles away from civilization, but you can grab some groceries or a pizza 5 minutes away in the small town of Etowah. You are also only 15-20 minutes from Hendersonville or Brevard, and 20 minutes from Sierra Nevada's east coast brewery, which we call Malt Disney World! Recent updates include new central heating & air, a newly paved driveway, a freshly painted interior, a whole-house water filtration system and a comfort-height toilet in the main level bath.
