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.

Property description not accurate
The pictures of the property online were outdated. Pond not private, other houses around the water. Property also sits on main highway with a lot of road noise. Description online of property also includes “cook what you catch”; upon arrival rules left for review in home stated “catch and release only”. Pond was also overfished and not fully stocked as described.

If only the AC Had Worked the First Night
If the AC had been working the first night of our stay, my review probably would have been five stars. Alas, when we arrived, the AC wasn't putting out any cold air (we think because someone had put the AC on 60 and the unit may have "frozen"). We had to leave the AC off for that first afternoon and evening, opening up the windows in order to be more comfortable, and because we had the windows open, we were then able to hear the nearby highway noise more easily. We hadn't realized this property is so close to a 4-lane highway (Rt. 280). We thought the traffic would lessen at night, and it did, but there were still trucks going by that woke us up all during that first night. The second day and evening of our visit, the AC was working fine. Due to the AC not working, that first night, there was a really bad musty smell in the upper-floor bedroom. However, we kept the glass doors to that bedroom shut and that lessened the musty odor. Once the AC was working again, that greatly reduced the musty odor of the upstairs bedroom, so much, in fact, that we probably wouldn't have noticed it had the AC been working the day we arrived.

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!

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.

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.

The property was nice although from the listing we didn't know it was situated on a main road. Owner was prompt with correspondence. My only suggestion would be better maintenance on the grills or at least cleaning brushes for them.

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.
