Everything was great! The house had everything we needed and we were close to some of the best nc hiking trails. Would definitely stay again! |

The home was further away from the neighbors than I expected. Nice hedges and elevation difference gave one more privacy than expected. There is a long low step on/off the porch which makes moving large suitcases easy, but you may miss the step if you are not paying attention. Plenty of room in the house and nice bathrooms and refrigerator while not being so fancy that it doesn't feel like home. While I wish I was a bit closer to the places I wanted to hike, there are no rentals in the park. This location was still within an hour of everywhere I wanted to hike, so still good. I only communicated with David a few times, but I found him to be understanding and friendly. If I ever vacation here in the future, I would love to stay again! |

Good place to stay a few days at an affordable price point, short distance to hiking and riding in the area and the town of Brevard. Beds were comfortable and had lots of towels and the fenced in yard was great. Some furniture was aged and kitchen minimally stocked with older cookware and such. Overall a decent value for our family’s trip to the area. |

Great fenced in back yard for the dogs. |

We very much enjoyed our stay. David had every thing we needed and it wasn’t too far from stores. I was glad to see that there were not cameras all over outside. I understand that people have cameras at their air bnbs for their own security but it still usually makes me feel a little uncomfortable, especially if they have more than one at the door. It was much more relaxing to feel like I had privacy during my stay. My only complaint was the 10am check out time that came along with a kind of long list of things to do. I wish I would have looked at the list before the morning of checkout, but I wanted to enjoy my vacation. I was a little overwhelmed with the request to unmake and remake the beds(we couldn’t find the clean sheets), wash and put away all dishes, and start towels all before 10. Other places I’ve stayed just request stripped beds, take trash out, start the dishwasher, and be out by 11. A small complaint for such a great place to stay. We do recommend &hope to be back again |

My husband and I stayed here for a quick quiet get away as an early anniversary celebration and this place was perfect! Clean, simple and charming. |

Perfect place for a few days away. The house had a great fenced yard for our pup. Lots of restaurants and shops just a short drive. |

My husband and I were in town for a few days to attend a family funeral. We don't like staying in hotels so we found this property. It's right in the foothills of the mountain and has WONDERFUL views of the surrounding mountains. The house is very spacious for a family or a group of friends. We didn't have time to utilize the hot tub on the back porch but we wish we did. If we are back in the area again we would definitely book this property again. |

Place was clean and nice. Great location as it is central to a lot of town in the area. Wish there was more kitchen utensils. Beds were very firm. |

I want to thank David for his responsive communication in a timely manner! My family and I absolutely loved the house and the location couldn’t be any better! The fenced in yard gave my dogs a great place to run circles and unwind at the end of the day while we enjoyed the hot tub that sits on the back porch! We look forward to coming back soon! |

This home was clean and super dog-friendly! We loved the hot tub and weren't lacking in any amenities overall. The surrounding area is beautiful and in a quiet area on a mountain. The fenced-in yard was a huge plus for the dogs! David isn't over-the-top with rules and cleaning procedures for checking out which was a huge relief and made our stay so much more relaxing. |

House was clean & comfortable. There is a hot tub but we didn’t use it because our parents live locally and we spent the days with them and just used the house for sleeping at night. The yard is securely fenced but If you have pets, bring a flashlight because there is literally no exterior lighting except for the front porch area. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. This house is great for pretty much anyone - couples, families, pets, etc. |

This property is conveniently located and certainly has all the amenities needed, including washer and dryer. I would highly recommend this home for groups larger than just 2 people as it had tons of space! Beautiful home, neighborhood, and yard, including fenced in space perfect for dogs. We didn't utilize the hot tub, but it certainly looked warm and inviting! Location perfect for access to Pisgah and Dupont and easy drives to Hendersonville and Brevard. Highly recommend! |

Comfortable and homey in a beautiful wooded neighborhood. |

We stayed here for over a month while looking for our permanent home. We were very comfortable here. The neighborhood is very eclectic which we liked. We really like the location. We had our beloved family dog with us, so the fenced in side yard was perfect. The kitchen is small but nicely equipped. The enclosed porch on the back of the house was a great place for extra storage. The property manager (Bear 8 Rentals) was great to work with. We ended up extending our stay and moving to another property which they manage (Hilltop Cottage). |

Beautiful house in a scenic area near outstanding hiking and biking trails at Dupont and Pisgah mountains. Everything was exactly as shown in the listing. |

The house was spotless when we arrived. It contained everything one might need for a short or long stay (except bath soap/shampoo). Pretty, quiet location, great space inside and out. |

Everything was great and the fenced yard was a huge plus if you’re bringing dogs. The hot tub was nice after a day of mountain biking at some of the nearby trails, and it was very nice having a garage to securely store the bikes. Overall I’d recommend this home to friends and will likely be back if we’re in the area again. |

This is a great place to stay for a fun weekend in the mountains! We actually got to enjoy some snow and our pups loved it! Just a quick 35 minute drive to downtown Asheville! |

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. Plenty of towels and washcloths in bathroom. Also, owner had plenty of supplies (kitchen and cleaning) to get you started, which was a nice touch. The hot tub was relaxing. Enjoyed the area off the back porch that allowed you to get dry and chairs to enjoy the beautiful view off the back. The only thing missing to me in the kitchen was a hand mixer. The area is rural, but you have nearby Etowah (10 min. drive) for some restaurants and grocery store (Ingles). Brevard is 15 mins. away for more attractions, restaurants, stores, etc. Had some issues, but owner was quick to address problems. Would come back again! |

Very nice accommodations. Kitchen well equipped, linens and towels nice quality. Furniture comfy. Nestled in a little valley, but not too far from hiking, great views and town. Town had few very nice little museums and lots to explore. Was a perfect getaway locale and dogs loved it too. |

Beautiful, modern, and clean home for a great price! The hot tub was an awesome bonus!! We didn’t find shampoo or body wash, which wasn’t a big deal and I assume was due to the pandemic, so I would suggest to bring your own. Would definitely stay again next time we visit Asheville!! |

This cozy place in the PERFECT spot for the adventurous hearts. There are so many awesome trails within minutes of this place. Also, it is not far from Brevard,Hendersonville, and Asheville if you need a "city" day. |

Such a lovely place and town! There was some communication issues with the cleaners and David handled it swiftly. Thanks for such a great start! |

This house was close to the Dupont state forest and the Pisgah National Forest and was convenient to travel to the nearest grocery store and dining options in neighboring towns of Brevard and Horse Shoe. It was a very quiet street and the hot tub was great for a soak after a long hike in the forest. The hot tub is a little on the small side but we did fit four adults. I'd say it fits two comfortably with room to stretch out and relax. The house was clean abd the bathrooms and kitchens were very nicely renovated. |

We had such a wonderful time staying here! The place was lovely and so spacious. The location was great because we were only a short driving distance from a number of waterfalls and hiking trails. The place was very clean, the check in was a breeze, and the hosts were awesome with making sure we had the info we needed to get checked in. |

The stay was great. Everything we needed. I also appreciated the set up/decor level. We aspire at home a minimalist lifestyle and I appreciated the openness of the house. Enough decor to make it cozy but not like some rentals where it's just way too much. With that appreciated there was plenty of open drawer space for what little belongings we had. Thanks again. Definitely would not mind staying again. |

Nice rental, just as described and very clean. It was nice to be able to do laundry during our stay and the hot tub was a bonus. Had a little trouble getting into the house for check in but host was very responsive and it was resolved in no time. We would definitely stay here again. |
