Adorable cottage near great hiking

When I first walked in, I was so pleased with the aesthetic of the cabin. Larger than it looked, and very nicely decorated. Everything seemed very neat and clean; however, the restroom could have used some attention-to-detail (mostly dust and a new shower liner). The kitchen had everything you needed, including Keurig coffee, creamer and sugar already onsite. The beds were extremely firm, so if you are used to soft beds, they might be a bit too hard for you without a topper. I was a little shocked that not only were we to strip the beds and place the dirty sheets in front of the washer at checkout (normal), but we were also to remake the beds with clean sheets for the next guest. I've never had any other VRBO require that, but also, it made me wonder if the previous guests actually did that, or if they just remade the bed with the sheets they slept on and threw the clean sheets in front of the washer as an easy out. Something I hope the host considers could be a possibility. We also had a little bit of a mixup with a double booking, so a random guy walked up on the porch after dark claiming he had rented the place and even had the same door code. A bit unnerving to say the least. Thankfully, the host took care of that issue pretty quickly. Overall, I would stay here again as it's a great central location to lots of parks & hiking trails, and very affordable.

Our stay

Enjoyed our stay in the practically new, well appointed and not overdone home. Spent the evening on the porch. Shower had good water pressure and spray pattern and the bed was firm but comfortable. I would stay again.

Cozy Getaway Cottage Near Brevard and H’ville

This cabin was so cute, clean and comfortable and smelled great! My friend and I especially enjoyed sitting in the porch swing having our evening wine. It’s close to both Brevard and Hendersonville and feels remote while it’s just up the hill from a highway. The kitchen is just the right size and a coffeemaker and K Cups were provided as well as linens and towels! A perfect place for a weekend or week long mountain getaway!

Lovely private cabin with all you need

Great comfy place situated in the woods in easy driving proximity to Brevard and Hendersonville. Nice front porch for morning coffee, and quiet, private setting. Clean, modern, well-equipped. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful

We stayed there for one night and it was wonderful! The whole house was clean and the furniture was comfortable. It was small but a perfect size for four adults and one toddler. We loved the porch, view and distance from the cities.

Phenomenal stay! The proximity to Hendersonville and Brevard was very convenient. The location was ideal for our interests, biking and hiking. I can't say enough about the quality of the cabin. Very clean, comfortable and well appointed. It had everything we needed! Definitely planning a return visit.

Family Getaway

This was the perfect cottage for our family of 4 (2 month old and 2 yr old). We loved playing in the big bath tub, appreciated the kitchen supplies including coffee available, and loved having a washer/dryer accessible. Nearby DuPont forest where we hiked and appreciated the waterfalls. Looking forward to staying again.

Beautiful tiny home located as close as you can get to DuPont State Forest. Great communication with the host, and was better than the pictures indicate. A++++ for cleanliness. Only suggestion is to follow the directions provided by the host, my GPS took us to another address.

A good stay

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here! Loved the location, super convenient to hiking and just a peaceful place to getaway! The kids books and dishes were a plus. Upon arrival the cabin was 53 degrees which was unexpected. Thankfully the wall heater helped to heat it up fairly quickly. We also noticed the vent in the bathroom needs to be cleaned (very dusty). There aren’t ceiling fans in the bedrooms and there also isn’t a dishwasher. Lastly, the extended check-out cleaning process was a little surprising and challenging for us with young kids. We did overall have a good stay here but I’m not positive we would stay again just based on our family and our preferences.

So much about this rating is unfair but I can't honestly give the cottage a higher rating. On the day of our departure all the smoke detector alarms (3) went off at 5:30 AM. Needless to say we were scared. After searching the cottage and the surrounding area, we could find no sign of a fire. However, we also were unable to turn off the alarms even though we removed the batteries. As a result, we had to scramble to get our things together and leave. We still had to put clean sheets on the bed and start laundering the ones we used along with the towels. We also had to wash the dishes all the while the alarms were screaming. We were drove to an area where there was cell service, we called the owner and left a message. He texted us and we called again to make sure not to let someone stay there until the problem was resolved. He said he would change the batteries. What caused the problem, we don't know but for all the alarm batteries to have gone bad at the same time seems improbable. Anyway, although it is really a lovely cottage we just wouldn't feel safe staying there. And no, there was no refund offered.

Awesome place to stay near everything!

So close to all the places we wanted to see! All the falls , food and sites. We even came upon a really big and beautiful apple farm called Jeter Mountain. The little house is roomier than the photos imply. Clean, comfortable and decorated beautifully! We will return.

A very unpleasant experience. Overall, a good location and a cute cabin, but extremely unsatisfactory communication. The property owner charged additional $50 immediately after check out because “we didn’t do laundry and make up beds.” When we tried to call her to clarify the fee, she didn’t answer. Instead she sent a bunch of accusing text messages, making us feel very unsafe. She accused me in not selecting a full cleaning fee (although this option didn’t not exist on Expedia) and not honoring a Vrbo agreement (which I didn’t sign or read). She also mentioned about deleting the review (so other customers won’t see it) because she can do so. Again, a very worrisome experience, and I don’t recommend staying at this cabin.
