This was an excellent stay and the place really held up to the expectations from the pictures and description. I loved the time spent at mountain shadows and I'm already thinking about my next stay! |

Pros: location, hot tub was clean, fairly well stocked kitchen, mostly private hot tub area cons: ANTS (oh my god so many ants) , uncomfortable beds, cleaning demands at the end of stay were a little ridiculous when we already paid a cleaning fee |

It was quiet, clean & well appointed. It was close to attractions, stores etc but far enough away to be a great getaway |

The house was very comfortable. It is in a great location to easily visit many waterfalls and hiking trails. |

Great location. The fenced in back yard was a plus since we have pups. We plan on going back in the spring. |

We had a great stay here. The house was just as pictured, very comfortable, and the sound of the stream right next to the house was a wonderful way to wind down and relax after a long day of hiking. We also enjoyed the hot tub! If you plan on cooking, I would make sure to bring everything you need with you, as basics like olive oil and regular salt were not available. |

Second time staying at one of David’s cabins and we enjoyed it yet again. Clean, peaceful surroundings. Sound of the creek was lovely, glass of wine from local vineyards in the hot tub, loved the lights around the deck, great fenced area for our dog. Overall great experience! We hope to return next year! |

We throughly enjoyed the cabin. The cabin is equipped with everything one needs for a lovely weekend or week away. The gas fireplace adds ambience and warmth. The hot tub was exactly what the door ordered as a way to unwind. We were very happy at the cabin. I definitely recommend it for a trip to the Asheville area. |

Finding the property and check-in couldn't have been easier. Google Maps sent us a slightly different way from the hosts' directions (Grove Bridge instead of Crab Creek). Either works fine. Mountain Shadows is in a hilly area with homes scattered a bit apart. There is a creek running down by the cabin. It was completely quiet when we arrived, because Penrose hadn't had rain in a while, but it poured rain our second full day, and then the creek roared. The cabin was great! You can just see another property from the porch, but there is a covering protecting you from prying eyes. Hot tub pro tip: if you want to use it your first night, check the temperature when you arrive and raise it. It was 96 when we first looked and took two hours to reach 98, which was just barely warm enough that first night. The next night we had it at a toasty 103 and were much happier. The hot tub is a small one - really for two people. It worked well. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, pans, and utensils. Everything was super clean. The furniture was comfortable - just be aware the sofa is quite low, and if you are a senior citizen and have trouble getting out of low furniture this might be a problem. The bed was on the firm side; bed and pillows were quite comfortable for us. Our favorite part was the temperature control! Each room has its own thermostat, plus there is a thermostat for the fireplace. The fireplace kept the living area amazingly warm. We had a great stay! |

Me and a buddy came down to bike DuPont, kanuga and pisgah. I don't know if we could have found a better place, price or location for our trip. Everything was perfect. Would stay here again and hope to again. |

Cozy cabin at a great location. We enjoyed the fireplace and jacuzzi. Perfect for traveling with your furr babies. Gated porch and fenced in backyard. Very clean as well, we will be back! |

Enjoyed a 3 night short stay in the cabin. The property was as listed and in close proximity to some great riding. The hot tub was great after a long day of riding. |

Very cute little cabin. Nice and private, loved the sound of the creek. The only thing I would change is the blinds in kitchen and some of living room wouldn’t close. No blinds in twin bedroom. Also the queen bed needs a thicker bedspread for this time of year (fall.) |

Living in a downtown area, this was a nice peaceful escape from hearing sirens and trains. The house has pretty much everything you need and is close enough to stores if you need more. We would definitely book again. |

We had a good stay once we got there, but our GPS took us to a different home a few doors down - would have appreciated some written directions ahead of time that clarified the location. Also, had no way to reach the owner because my VRBO app wasn't working due to WIFI challenges in the area. Again, once we got there, was a nice location and as advertised. |

Have been coming here since 2019 and and every year its been great. Quiet, clean, comfortable and great distance to Dupont! |

The home is set in a very peaceful area, tucked away in the woods for privacy. Close to many natural attractions, state parks etc. Close to small towns to get supplies or have lunch or dinner. During the stay the hot tub was great for relaxing, beds were comfortable. The property owner was easy to get a hold of if you needed something or had a problem. |

The place is exactly as described. It was spotlessly clean and smelled great. It is right next to a small creek. Charcoal grill right next to the property made some memorable dinners. While checking out, we had forgotten some our stuff there, and David was able to retrieve them from the cleaning folks for us. Overall a great experience. |

We had a great time staying at David's place. It was peaceful and private, and hanging out on the deck was so relaxing. |

We had a lovely time! Incredibly beautiful and peaceful. My girlfriend, service pup, and I were very comfortable and found it super convenient for our adventuring!We had 2 surprises. One was that the stove leaks gas. It’s a gas stove, which is awesome, but something wonky is going on with it. We had to air out the house twice- once for using burners that weren’t working properly and we got woozy, and another time for the oven also leaking gas. I brought this up with the owners and believe they are addressing the issue. We also didn’t realize that hot tub maintenance people come by every 2 to 3 days- didn’t see this in the Airbnb listing, but it is in the website sent after booking. I had to hunt for it to find it, but it’s there. Scared the crap out of us, as 2 girls w/a random man showing up seemingly unannounced. Just wish this was listed a little more obviously as a heads up bc it really freaked us out. Overall, wonderful stay and would definitely stay again. Thanks so much!!! |

This was our third time staying here and we will be back! Quiet, surrounded by nature, cozy on a rainy day and perfect place to relax after a full day of hiking. Bed comfortable, fenced in yard for the dog, hot tub under a covered porch. Love this place! |

Everything went very well. We love the location and the fact that it's pet friendly too. Everything is very clean & well maintained. Only a 10 - 15 minute drive from the Pisgah National Forest or Dupont State Forest. We will be back again for a 3rd time soon! |

We stayed at the cottage for an entire week while mountain biking in Dupont and Pisgah. The place was clean and met our needs and is well situated between the two parks. It’s a cute little place and is cozy and perfect for a couple or a small family. I deducted a star bc the house does not have a dining table inside (listing says there is one), just a picnic table outside, so inside you have to eat at the kitchen counter or the small decorative table or in front of the TV and folks who value family time may not like that. |

We really enjoyed our stay! Great private spot and perfect for our family of 3 and Goldendoodle. |

This cabin was great. Clean and everything needed was provided. Quiet. Love the creek running next to the cabin. Great location to do so many things. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. |

loved the stay! One thing i will point out that wasn't a huge issue was the gate that fences in the back portion for dogs would not properly latch. My dog pushed through it very easily! But other than that had a great time! |
