About this property

Cozy Retreat at Capps Lake

Explore this 1.68 acre serene getaway, complete with a babbling brook, a bridge, a meadow perfect for lawn games, a bamboo grove, fire pit and extended deck with luxury hot tub. Winter views of Capps Lake offer a picturesque scene from the deck. The lake is obscured by shrubs and trees during warmer months, but the frog song and critter's chorus' are abundant! Create memories in the gourmet kitchen, and sleep soundly in the super-comfy beds. We can accommodate 8 guests, but advertise for 6. Although the lake is bordering our property, we do not own the lake, or have access to it. We do have Lake Julian just down the road which we use with our boat.

Help MIL With Disaster Recovery

The place was perfect for our needs. It was private with plenty of room for our dog to explore (on leash). The hot tub was great and there were plenty of comforts of home. We did have a little trouble finding the home initially but host Marc was able to quickly provide assistance.

Cute house for family stay

The Capps Lake house was perfect for my husband, my sister and her husband. The hot tub felt so good. The beds were very comfortable. The location seemed sketchy down a dark one lane road but we had no issues and it was very quiet.

Wonderful getaway

We came with our 4 kids ages 8-16 to enjoy Asheville. The place was perfect. Our kids loved exploring the property and the hot tub was a big hit. Every detail was thought out and provided for in this rental. Would definitely go back again.

Perfect for any group/family

This rental left nothing unaddressed. There is equipment for families with babies; there is outdoor space and pet blankets and food bowls for those who bring dogs as well as a traffic-free road for dog walking; there is plenty of room indoors and out for a group of friends to have an amazing party; the kitchen has dishes, cooking pans and utensils, storage containers, spices, and oils so that vacationers need to bring only the basic foods to cook wonderful meals. A much-appreciated feature I've noticed missing at other rentals is an abundance of hooks for hanging clothing. The area provides privacy and is quiet yet walking distance from a major highway. It is centrally located for quick access to many activities the Asheville area offers.

Birdsong and fireflies

This cute, quirky little house at the end of the road suited our needs, good beds, nice kitchen, great back deck with birds singing in the day and fireflies in the evening. And close to the main road into Asheville for all our adventures. Marc was informative and always available when we needed him.

Very convenient to all our outings.

Great rooms in house only item that we had to get use to and remember are the one and two steps to living area, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. No accidents but was something to be aware of especially at night. It won’t deter us in renting again but could be for older renters.

Very nice

Spent three nights here. Cute cottage in quiet neighborhood. Very clean. Kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked. Master bed was very comfortable. Short drive to various activities. Enjoyed spending time on the screened in porch in the mornings and evenings. Saying the property has a “gym” is a bit grandiose but we didn’t stay long enough to have the time to spend on any of the “equipment”. Just FYI. Loved that the kitchen has a gate that can be closed so we could keep our pups tucked away safely at night. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again if we return to the area.

Great Getaway Property

We booked this property due to its location mid-way between Hendersonville and Ashville. The bonus was how close it was to the Ashville Airport! The house is a little difficult to get to given it's quite tucked away, but that's part of the charm - the privacy. Every aspect of the house was perfectly put together and the outdoor hot tub was a huge bonus. There were directions available for how to use everything, which was useful and eased the pain of being in an unfamiliar place. The communication with the property owners was great and made the check-in and check-out processes very easy. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this location for a getaway when you want to be near everything, but not necessarily in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

Christmas with family

We enjoyed our stay and visits with family and friends. There are several things that could be done to make the home better. Several light bulbs burned out, the candles in the fireplace didn’t work, except for 2, there are no rugs inside the doors to wipe feet, no vacuums, several jets in hot tub didn’t work and message saying filter needs to be cleaned. May seem minor but with the price we paid it should all be in excellent working order. Also no coffee maker, only the pot. There is a Kerig but we were told a maker as well. Also, had issues with signing in to prime and Hulu. The codes given didn’t work so if a renter doesn’t have those subscriptions you can’t log in. The house was comfortable but could have been so much better with some attention to details.

Pleasant but not what we hoped for.

Initially we were disappointed on entering Capps Lake Retreat. I think it was because the rooms, especially the living room were very dark, all day. Beds great, hot tub lovely, modern well equipped kitchen, quick response from manager. The surrounding area was pleasant but not conducive to exploration and the tiny house next door was a few feet away. All in all not quite what we hoped for, but certainly pleasant.

Property felt very secluded but was also not far from restaurants, antique malls, etc… House was very cozy and the amenities offered were a plus. Asheville was only a short drive away and was a perfect day trip.

Outstanding place to stay in the mountains

Fantastic property. This is a great location: while you are tucked far enough off the main roads to be quiet and feel immersed and nature, a short drive will take you to clean and charming downtown Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Blue Ridge Parkway, and whitewater rafting outposts. With a bit more adventure, you can find 250 waterfalls in the area like Looking Glass Falls and Triple Falls (former filming location for the Hunger Games and Last of the Mohicans), incredible mountain vistas like Fryingpan Mountain, and it's a beautiful drive to Maggie Valley, the Cherokee reservation, and Cataloochee and other ski resorts. Asheville has the most beautiful autumn foliage of anywhere I've been (even over Gatlinburg). At the property, we had a lot of fun soaking in the hot tub on the back porch and enjoy the natural environment surrounded by trees. We saw a family of rabbits, woodchuck, and birds were everywhere. Lovely fire pit with Adirondack chairs and picnic table. The most well-stocked property we have stayed at, with an abundance of toiletries, kitchenware, basic kitchen spices, coffee, snacks, disposable plates and plasticware. Large grocery store and gas were within a very short drive. The house was scrubbed very clean and well organized. Board games, books, exercise equipment, and even musical instruments made us feel more like family than strangers. The mattress in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable. Homeowner has invested in very nice light-blocking blinds in both bedrooms. Ceiling fans and individual A/C controllers in each room kept us very comfortable. I had a question to locate an item in the house and the homeowner was very responsive and quickly brought extra provisions, making himself available the whole week if we had any needs. I would definitely stay again at this property!

Why they chose this property

Conveniently located within easy access to the airport, shopping, dining and recreation. (And we have an absolutely AWESOME hot tub!!)

What makes this property unique

We love the massive hot tub and oversized deck looking out onto the bamboo grove and lower meadow. The fire pit and trails are well worth spending some time in too. Sit and relax for long enough and you will see the families of foxes, raccoons, rabbits, opossums, bears, hawks and turtles!
