Perfect spot to recharge!

My husband and I and two boys, age 4 and 2, stayed for four nights and we were all sad to leave! The cabin is exactly as shown in the photos. It was spotless and smelled like new when we arrived. It was well equipped with all the things we needed to settle in comfortably. We spent most of our time outside hunting for acorns and bugs. It was a short ride to the farmers market, town of Tryon and the Skytop Orchard. We would 100% stay here again!

Excellent stay!

We stayed for 3 nights at this amazing place! We arrived after dark, and I wouldn't suggest doing that if you are not familiar with the roads. Once we drove them during the daylight hours, it was fine. The property was extremely clean and very convienent to everything! We would definitely stay here again!

Great place!

Great place with beautiful views! Although not for people who don't like difficult driving, it truly is at the tippy top of the mountain with switchback turns and no guardrail going up. But it was super easy to get to town, we spent a lot of time enjoying coffee on the front porch with awesome views and total privacy, and very easy access to the Tryon horse show as well which we were there for. Overall a great place to be in nature without being too far from everything else!

Great mountain home

The house was all and more than we expected, very clean and well maintained, everything you need is at this house. I read other reviews about the drive up the mountain and have to say it was a really cool and nothing to be concerned about. By the time we left we could get up to the house in 8 minutes. You would foolish if you didn’t check this home out, absolutely awesome!!!

2nd time just as good as last time

This was our second time at Nature’s Den this year. We also stayed in early April. While the leaves were out on this stay and limited the view of White Oak Mountain, the front porch was still delightful. Home was clean as usual and we made use of the kitchen for all our meals. Daily hikes with spectacular views were a highlight. Highly recommend the property.

4WD Serenity

You might want to reiterate the drive-up and make a special note about the Driveway. Some folks might not be able to handle that sort of thing. It was impressive nonetheless. Funny note, I am always teasing my girlfriend that "my driving skills are unmatched!" LoL all in jest. But I had the opportunity to show off this trip. LoL. God bless you, yours, and the property.

Keypad issue and steep driveway

We were unable to enter the door of the house despite several attempts with the representative listed to call . They offered to send a repair person but it was late in the day and we didn’t know when/if they would arrive . The driveway was so steep that walking up and down it is hazardous for anyone wanted to walk down to the entering road . The agency reviewed our report and refunded the cleaning fee but not the rental fee . It’s a very long winding road up that mountain and I would not recommend travel at night or any conditions other than dry pavement.

Very nice cabin, tv worked well, however the WiFi and internet was not available 99% of the time. Definitely need a awd vehicle to get up the mountain and then the driveway. Very quiet area, nice getaway from the hustle and bustle.

Beautiful! BUT The road is not for the faint of heart!

The cabin is really beautiful, clean, and as described. Communication with Michelle and the Yonder team was friendly and fast!As others have stated, the drive up the mountain is not to be dismissed, especially after the recent storm. At points it is single lane, no guardrail switchbacks. “Don’t drive it at night” is a rule for locals, not just tourists. There is basically no cell service. It was a little unnerving being off the grid at times, especially considering the road. I was able to connect to the satellite outside, sometimes, on a clear night. But the cabin really is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. It is a great spot to really get away in complete comfort. The dog run is nice and secure, having it right off the bedroom is perfect! We were really disappointed we couldn’t stay due to the Nature of our trip and lack of access after dark.Will definitely look for other Yonder properties in our travels!

Difficult travel for Tryon Equestrian Center

Did not stay Road to house was too difficult to travel back and forth to Tryon equestrion center at least twice a day and they advertise very close to that location. It is 14 miles and takes over 40 minutes one way. We chose not to stay

Best VRBO I've stayed in.

If you're not afraid of winding mountain roads this one was PERFECT!! You have to pass the driveway, turn around, then come back & enter drive way. We walked in and instantly we were not disappointed. I could have spent my entire vacation in the home & on the property. It was clean, comfortable, & thoughtfully supplied. I wasn't ready to end my vacation & leave. We spent our evenings in front of the fireplace planning our next day excursions. In the morning I drank my coffee on the porch in the crisp mountain air while listening to the birds rush around in thier morning routines. We needed a extension on our checkout time & we were able to achieve that without issue. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Thank you for the wonderful visit. Sincerely, D. Johnson

North Carolina remote home

The interior of the house is very clean. The exterior needs some attention, but ok considering the wooded location. My family rented this home because of the location to the Tyron equestrian show grounds and other outdoor activities. The dryer was broken and was never repaired during our stay. I called two days in a row and was told it would be fixed. That never happened. We had tons of laundry, due to tubbing and horses. We spent a considerable amount of time doing laundry off site. This took a lot of time that we needed to spend elsewhere.

Cute Cabin - Not an Easy Drive

We are seniors so we found the drive up and down the mountain a bit daunting. We happen to have all wheel drive and needed it. The cabin itself is cute and has loads of space. There's no view. We had a few maintenance issues, but they were sorted out right away. The driveway is at a steep slope making it very difficult for anyone who is handicapped. There is automatic garage doors but no remote was provided so you have to get out on the steep driveway, go into the garage and open the door from inside. This is inconvenient and almost impossible for the not so physically fit. The cabin is quiet. The backyard was small but adequate. This cabin is probably more ideal for younger people. We drove into either Asheville or Hendersonville every day for our activities. The cabin is very close to Tryon Equestrian if that is your destination.

Mountain Stay

Great views in the forest. Lovely cabin and the gas logs are a treat as it turned cold. Driving the mountain switchbacks take a little practice but the views at the top are spectacular. Very close to TIEC where we needed to go. All in all, a great week.
