Great place for a guys trip

This place was a great place to go for a guys trip. We were able to fish, relax, and drove into Asheville to catch a baseball game. Everything was as advertised and we had no issues. Would definitely stay here again.

Fun trip with family and friends

Great place. It was relaxing and quiet. Cottage was nice and very peaceful. It's perfect for our stay and located in a great spot. Asheville downtown is about 30 min away from the cottage. Beautiful pond, kids enjoyed fishing and boat ride. Ashley is very kind and helpful. We had a great experience and enjoyed the trip.

Great little get away

The property was very clean. The views were amazing. Sadly I did not catch any trout, but that was because as soon as my bait hit the water I caught a bass or bream.

Beautiful property for a family getaway.

Although close to a main thoroughfare, which did not effect us at all. It was quiet, clean and a very nice sized property to enjoy, including a lake and pond for fishing with boats to utilize on the lake. It has a nice deck overlooking the lake to enjoy with friends and family. There's a grill, outdoor games, and is an all around nice place to gather. I will be looking into this property again for future family get togethers.

Loved staying here! The pond out front was amazing. A little piece of heaven for me. Walk up fishing, then fishing before bed! Deer in the front yard and the house was awesome! Master bedroom was amazing! Will stay here again next time we are in the area!

Good time had by all

Fishing was fun. My 9 year old granddaughter and I competed to see who would catch the most. When all was over, we tied at 41 fish each. No big ones, but enough to keep us busy. We only used the kitchen for making breakfast a couple of times, but it was equipped well enough for preparing other meals. I personally wish we had taken advantage of the grill on the back porch, but the family wanted to eat out. It was also nice to have the family pet along. The cottage is located in an easily accessible location, right off hwy 280. Fun things to do can be found near by, Hendersonville, slidingrock, Sky Top Apple Orchard, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, etc. There were nine of us and we all had a good time.. a Good Time Had by All.

Convenient, but not quiet.

I stayed here with my two sons and our two small dogs in the fall. We enjoyed catching some bream and making use of the kayak and canoe. The scenery off the back was gorgeous. Beautiful fall colors! We appreciate places who accept pets! The cabin was nice. It definitely got chilly in the downstairs bedroom, but we used the heater that was provided and slept just fine. I will say that if you’re looking for a place that offers peace and quiet while sitting outside and enjoying your coffee, this isn’t the place. It’s located right off the main HWY. Traffic noise was awful. However, this location is ideal if you don’t want to be too secluded from town and all of it’s conveniences. It’s close to Pisgah National Forest which we thoroughly enjoyed! Ashley was very quick to respond to any messages I sent! Thank you for a nice (short, but sweet) weekend get-away from Summerville, SC.

Peaceful cottage with a beautiful view close to Brevard

My husband and I enjoyed 9 days in this wonderful lake house. It is conveniently located between Asheville and Brevard, right off the highway. Brevard Music Festival, the airport and Hendersonville are all less than a 1/2 hour drive away. The main suite is downstairs (where you come in from the back.) There is a back porch that overlooks a pond from this room. The bath on this level is very nice with a shower (including a hand-held wand) & a separate jacuzzi tub. The laundry room is also on this level. The bed is very comfortable and there are plenty of extra blankets in the closet. A tv, desk, table & sofa are also on this level (no minifridge). Upstairs is a living room, kitchen, bathroom (tub/shower) and the second bedroom. There are two stairways - one inside another outside. The kitchen has a full size fridge, stove, oven and microwave as well as cooking/servingware. There are coffee makers and tvs on both levels. Outside the front door upstairs, is a huge partially covered deck. Ceiling fans keep the air moving and the nice outdoor furniture is wonderful for dining. There is a new gas grill and access to the lake which this level overlooks. The mountains in the background make this view 2nd to none. We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the weather, the view and the quiet - a much needed rest. We saw white squirrels, geese, a groundhog and lots of birds at this location. There is a kayak and a paddle boat on the dock for guest use (so nice!) Enjoyed it!

Nice, but could use a deep cleaning

The description was accuratr and we enjoyed out stay. However, the interior and exterior needs a depp cleaning. Outside, cob webs were everywhere and the furniture was caked in pollen. Its exterior so I would expect some of each (especially pollen during the timing of our stay), but these looked like they had been building up for some time. Inside, especially the upstairs was musty. A ceiling tile in the laundry looks like it is about to fall.
