Just minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment and outdoor adventures, this rural retreat in the Avery’s Creek Community is a sanctuary of peacefulness. Along with the horses in the pasture you are bound to see wild turkeys and deer and hear bull frogs on summer nights.

Your fully equipped private bungalow overlooks our private fishing pond and horse pasture. You can take a short hike on the wooded property, fish for trout, bass and brim or plan your day sipping coffee on the porch and end it sitting around a warm campfire sharing stories from your day’s adventure.

This convenient location is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast. Your romantic get-away is located just 10 minutes from the Mountains to Sea Trail, water sports on the French Broad River, hiking and biking at Bent Creek and the NC Arboretum.

Wonderful experience

Donna and Curtis were absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful. The cabin is cozy and clean and has everything we needed. The porch and the hot tub were much needed after a day of exploring Asheville. The fishing was phenomenal. A much needed break from life for a couple of days. We will definitely be back.

Great Studio Cabin

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights for our anniversary. We loved the intimate setting and privacy. We enjoyed the hot tub and used it almost every day. We also loved that the cabin a had a big screened in porch.

Perfect quiet getaway!

Couldn't have asked for a better spot for a few days in the Asheville area. Loved eating out on the porch and then enjoying our downtime in the hot tub. Sierra Nevada Brewery is a short drive and its beautiful, but we decided to go straight back to our private spot and enjoy the peace there instead! Loved the personal touches when we arrived and the owner is readily available if needed. Can't wait to go back!

Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I wanted a quiet getaway for the weekend, and this cabin was perfect for us. It was the ideal size for our stay. The screened porch overlooking the pond was incredibly relaxing, and the hot tub allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even when it was a bit chilly outside. The kitchen is fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals on-site; all you need to do is bring your own food. Donna and Curtis are great hosts. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful place to stay!

We had a great stay at this lovely cabin on a pond. Donna was very friendly and helpful. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We enjoyed the deck and hot tub and a nice hike around the property. The location was perfect for seeing Asheville and the surrounding areas. We would stay here again!

Beautiful Romantic Getaway

Cozy little cabin home secluded but close enough to society. This property met all expectations. I decided to suprise my girlfriend with a weekend at this lovely home for her 30th birthday and we could not have asked for more. The owner was very nice and helpful for anything that we needed during our stay. Beautiful views, comfy bed, gorgeous bathroom, perfectly placed firepit for the cold nights, and I cant forget the wonderful hottub. This was the best romantic mtn getaway for us. Thank you for having us.

Great property!

Donna is a great host with a great cabin, perfect for a weekend getaway! The cabin was as advertised, and Donna even took the time to leave us a personal note upon arrival. The fridge even included a few beers from local breweries. She is also quickly available via text if questions arise. I highly recommend!

Peaceful place to unwind

This place was exactly what we were looking for. Nice quite place to unwind. Felt like you are in the mountain but close enough to everything to be able to enjoy it all. Had all the basics included. Some good tips for hiking trails. Great place to get away. We will be back

Wow

Very cute cabin up and out of town. Very private. Cabin filled with everything you need. But the owners are beyond special. While we were there, tropical storm Helene came through. We decided to leave a few days early because of the threat of the storm not allowing us to get back to Minnesota. Nobody could’ve known how bad it was going to be. Regardless, we were reimbursed for the days we did not stay. We did not expect reimbursement, and didn’t ask for it. We understood that this was a one in a thousand year storm. We pray for their property and well being In the midst of utter destruction everywhere around them. I hope many in the future will consider staying here, as they certainly have earned it through the care of their property, excellent communication, and doing everything the right way. Many blessings to Curtis and Donna.

Peaceful Get Away

This was a first trip to NC. This cabin was located in a beautiful area so close to Asheville. We loved the beauty and peacefulness about this location. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch, enjoying coffee. The hot tub was such a wonderful addition. This cozy cabin was very clean and we appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtful little touches that Donna had left for us! We'd highly recommend this cabin to anyone!

Great space for couples to unwind

This was the first trip my boyfriend and I had gone on together, and it was a great success! We stayed for a week, and all we needed to do was swing by a nearby grocery store for the few meals we ate out on the screened in porch. The house was tidy, and already included toiletries and kitchenware along with pots and pans. The property is very calm and has sufficient privacy, while also being close enough to the hosts should any issues arise. Donna is a wonderful host, ready to help with suggestions on the area and is attentive to any communication needed to make with her.
