Summer Escape to NC

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is furnished beautifully and well stocked for all your needs. It is located about 15 minutes from Hendersonville and about half hour from Brevard. It is very peaceful and private, and located on a long private gravel road/driveway. Close to hiking, golf, wineries, breweries, waterfalls!

Peaceful Long Weekend at the Cottage

Husband and I spent a long weekend here for a short mtb trip. Proximity to riding/hiking trails is amazing and the property and cottage were great. So peaceful, clean, one of the most completely stocked places we’ve ever stayed. We couldn’t have been happier. Our border collie had a great time on the property too. Would absolutely recommend.

A wonderful property with a very responsive host.

It is a beautiful fully equipped, safe, spacious and clean cabin. Very close to downtown Asheville but in the quiet country. Host went above and beyond. We had two small kids and a small dog with us and enjoyed the property very much. The land around the house is also very well kept and lovely. Would definitely consider staying again.

Peaceful retreat

We enjoyed staying here while I attended an event at the Kanuga Conference Center. The cabin is about two miles from Kanuga. It’s close to all the eateries and other amenities in Hendersonville and Flat Rock. The house is comfortable and well stocked. If we return to the area we would stay here again. The fall colors are magnificent, with beautiful views in every direction.

Wren’s Place

Lovely cottage situated between Brevard & Hendersonville. We enjoyed our stay utilizing the cottage as base camp for daily adventures around the area. It is VERY quiet on the property which we loved. Deer would be seen grazing in the late afternoons. Kitchen was really well outfitted (and we cook a lot!). Beds were comfortable with nice linens. Bathrooms were spacious. Great wood burning fireplace. The highlight for each day was our evening visit from Wren & Ozzy (generally Wren). The owners dogs were perfect ambassadors for the property!! If you want a comfortable, well outfitted home you can’t go wrong here. If you are a mountain biker it is 5 mins from Kanuga Bike Park. Only caveat is it is up a “North Carolina” driveway. Approach is bumpy gravel and steep. Not an issue for us in a truck. We enjoyed our stay!!!

Beautiful Peaceful Mountain Retreat

This property is outstanding. Very clean, comfortable and has everything you could want. The hosts are wonderful. Friendly, helpful but not intrusive. When you stay here you feel like you’re home. The entire property is beautiful and available to guests for walks with dogs. Host dogs Ozzie and Wren are super friendly. Our dogs got along great with them. When we come back to NC this is where we will stay. One caution; make sure your vehicle can handle a steep gravel driveway and parking area. Our Subaru SUV was fine.

Nice quiet place!

Really nice place off the beaten path but not hard to get to and not far from town. It’s very dog-friendly and a great place for your pups to roam and explore. Neighbor dogs Ozzy and Wren might come visit too. They are super sweet and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we need a place in the Hendersonville area!

Peaceful and beautiful stay!

This property was one of the most comfortable I’ve stayed in. The house had everything you could possibly need, including high quality bedding and linens and a fully stocked kitchen! The rooms and bathrooms were spacious, and the outdoor decks and fire pit were amazing! No one ever passed on the private road other than the host, who was super helpful and accommodating. If you want updated, tasteful accommodations combined with the sounds, vibes, and natural beauty of a rural setting, all 15 minutes from most everything, this place is for you!

Wonderful month in NC

Our stay in this home was a wonderful experience. The owner was more than accommodating. His wife even made dog treats for our dog. Everything was so clean and welcoming. We were just 15 minutes from Hendersonville and 15 minutes from beautiful DuPont State Forest. Sitting out on the front patio was delightful every afternoon. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a friendly getaway, comfortable, and pet friendly place.

We so enjoyed this house! Not only did we have everything we needed, our dogs were welcome too! It’s hard to find a reasonably priced place that doesn’t have a thousand rules about what the dogs can and can’t do and where they can go and can’t go, so this rental was a gift to us. We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday and to have early Mother’s Day. We hope to come back soon!

This wonderful cottage has everything you need to enjoy a weekend, week or month in the mountains and is located in a peaceful wooded area about a 1/4 mile off the road. Just a short drive to DuPont Recreational Area, Carl Sandburg Historic Home and trails, Holmes Educational Site for a wonder day hiking to beautiful waterfalls and just spending time in mother nature. Plenty of local Craft Breweries and Wineries to enjoy. Downtown Hendersonville is just a 15 minute drive… with restaurants and shops. Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, Waynesville, Black Mountain, and plenty other wonderful spots are just a beautiful drive away. We’ve been here twice and will definitely return again soon.
