Pet friendly cottage located in the woods. Watched the sunrise to the hoots of great horned owls and coyote howls! The fire pit and fire table, along with the screened in porch, were where we spent our waking time. The mattresses were amazing! Loved this place, will return in the future.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house worked out perfectly for us and was clean and very well equipped. The layout provides privacy with plenty of space to gather as a group. Our hosts, Maggie and Ryan, were responsive to our questions.We partially chose to stay here because the hosts are giving back to the community which is still recovering from Hurricane Helene. It turned out to be a perfect place to gather with family. I would choose to stay here again.

We’re always on the lookout for new places to stay when we visit Asheville, and this place was a fantastic discovery! The cottage is stunning, and the view is breathtaking. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches that set this property apart from others we’ve stayed at. Regrettably, we could only stay for one night on our way to Nashville, but we’re definitely planning to return for a longer stay next time.

What a wonderful house and hosts! This was one of our favorite houses and we've stayed in many over the years. Check-in was easy and Maggie and Ryan did so many things to make our stay extra special for my husband's birthday. They are so kind and communication was great. The kitchen was well appointed and the whole house was set up to make guests feel welcome and relaxed. All the bedrooms are spacious and have comfortable beds, lots of pillows and extra blankets. There is a huge TV in the family room and a very comfortable sofa that easily fit everyone. But, our favorite room was the screened in porch over looking the woods. We had coffee there each morning. We loved that we were 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, but we felt like we were a million miles away. I can't say enough good things about this house and how nice the hosts are. We will definitely come back and stay here again!

This property and home are a little slice of heaven! The home is beautiful and well stocked with anything you need. We spent every morning on the screened in porch, enjoying the views and coffee. The owners were so lovely and helpful. We especially appreciated it being pet friendly so we were able to bring our dog and cat.

Peaceful retreat

This was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a location not far from N. Asheville, yet not in town, that could accommodate our extended family and a dog. This home was all we asked for and more! The hosts were beyond gracious and answered questions super fast. Property was immaculate and cozy. The absolute best feature is the back screened in porch/deck - listening to all the birds each morning and evening while spending time with family was priceless. There were so many features that we didn’t even get a chance to appreciate them all!
