Lovely cottage in the woods
The property is perfect and has everything you need to unplug, relax and enjoy nature in its purest form. The creek running next to the cottage was beautiful and the trails surrounding the area are definitely worth checking out. I will be back!

Escape the world
We were looking for a short getaway where we could hike some and read much. We couldn't have been happier with the beautiful cabin and the wonderful sounds of the creek tumbling over the rocks in the stream bed. For short hikes, we left our car parked and could walk along the trails in either direction. A lovely place to enjoy nature!

Lived up to the reviews left by all. Host turned us on to a little private swimming hole just up the creek. Cabin itself is absolutely secluded and wonderful. Will be back.

Beautiful location, private stream & waterfall, comfy cottage.
Cottage had everything we needed, especially the full sized washer and dryer was super handy. Would have liked some newer "green pans" for cooking. Everything else was environmentally perfect.

Cabin in the woods
If you like rustic, mountainous natural settings then this is perfect for you. No TV, radio or Wi-Fi (except inside of cabin) Hiking trails galore connecting to the property, listening to the water & streams 24/7 outside your windows. Cascading rocks, vines and fresh air…comfortable bed, nice pillows, adequate kitchen for most meals. Bring your groceries and snacks. Nearest grocery about 20-30 minutes.

Great for getting out of city life
Cabin is small and quaint. Kitchen has everything you need. Property is fun to explore. The view from the porch is AMAZING!!! The sounds of the water will soothe anyone! Small things to consider: no tv, rocking chairs/futon are extremely uncomfortable and these are only places really to sit except porch chairs. Its a decent drive to grocery store so bring your stuff with you! Overall it was a great relaxing extended weekend 🙂

I wanted nothing more than to spend my birthday weekend in nature, but still close to Asheville to explore there as well. This cottage exceeded all expectations! Julia was quick in responses and thorough in her check-in/check-out instructions. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect!
This property exceeded all my expectations. The location is absolutely pristine; you can’t ask for more than a tucked away cottage with a stream and small trail running right behind it. Check in/out was a breeze, and the host is very communicative. Driving instructions were clear and easy to follow. It’s in the perfect location to be close enough to popular sites, but tucked away enough that it feels like you’re staying in the middle of nowhere. Property is gorgeous, cabin is well-maintained, clean, and safe. I cried when we had to leave! 10/10 would stay again and would recommend to anyone!!

Cabin feels deep in the woods with a river running about 20yrds down a hill from the cabin. The entire property has one thing after another to explore, from amazing trails, waterfalls, orchids and ponds. The cabin had everything we needed. Wifi was excellent. Check in and out was stress free. Highly recommended!

Perfect getaway
Perfect place to unplug and have some adventures. I stayed here with my 3 daughters (ages 3, 5, and 10), and the futon worked great as a second bed once folded out. The access to immediate (and breathtaking) hiking trails and waterfalls was our favorite part.

Relaxing and peaceful getaway!
My husband and I wanted to go to the Asheville area to explore waterfalls, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and all that the mountain region has to offer. I was instantly drawn to the running waterfalls on this property. It was so incredibly relaxing. The property had so many unique features to it. I couldn’t get enough. The house was gorgeous, clean, and had everything we needed and more. Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cabin weekend getaway
The cabin was in great condition and clean. The directions were clear and made it easy to find it and get around the property. While inside you hear the waterfall and its very serene. It is about 30 mins from Ascheville but its close ro Chimney Rock if you want to visit the village or do the hike. Overall we had a great time.
