2 week getaway
What a beautiful cottage with a beautiful view. I came down with my family for 2 weeks to get some peace and quiet and to relax. Wow this place was top notch. Colleen was amazing and the bottle of wine was a much needed extra piece of heaven. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious porch every morning and night. From watching the squirrels and the woodpeckers to just enjoying the fresh air was definitely what was needed. The house had everything you needed and felt like home. We will most definitely be back! 😊 5 stars ✨

Another Tranquil Visit
This was our second time staying at Serenade Cove. What a wonderful place to relax and play (and work remote if you need to)! It’s a short drive to Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Forest — both with great opportunities to swim, hike, fish, and see beautiful waterfalls. The cabin is also in a good location to take advantage of relatively short 10-15 minute drives to restaurants & breweries in Brevard, Hendersonville, and Mills River (and a number of much closer options 5min away in Etowah. And it’s tough to beat a morning coffee and evening nightcap on the covered porch looking out across the valley to bookend the day! What a comfortable and special place.

Amazing Stay at Serenade Cove
Photos are representative, but hard to do views and property justice. We loved our stay at Serenade Cove. Wonderful views, privacy, and great property. Very close to Pigsah and many other outdoor activities and attractions as well as Brevard, Hendersonville, and far enough, but not too far from Asheville (we prefer the hills/mountains). Very convenient to Etowah and some good local eats - don't miss out on the taco truck! Very fresh good food there. Cabin was perfect size for two of us, our dog, as well as some family visiting. We enjoyed just being at the cabin for relaxing and taking in the views and peaceful setting. One of our favorite overall VRBO's yet. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Views
This property is phenomenal. I stayed for a week with my pup and we had an amazing time. It is so CLEAN! Hands down the cleanest rental I’ve stayed in. It also had a very pleasant and clean smell upon entrance. The view is what I was going for and I got it! I loved sitting out on the rocking chair with my dog listening to nature and breathing in the fresh air. There’s a cute little trail right behind the property that my dog appreciated very much. You cannot beat the proximity to Pigsah NF and DuPont SP. We hiked to many of the waterfalls and others just drove right to. Asheville isn’t too far either. This is a great area overall for vacationing with a dog. If you are like me and stay places based on the view, this is it. Look no further!

Great Loacation, Beautiful little house
We had a great at Seranade Cove. Everything was exactly as advertised. Great view. Close to everything you want to visit in NC. Towns, hikes, and shopping. Would not hesitate to visit again. My only recommendation to the owner would be to put up blinds in the living room to block out the afternoon sunset.

Great stay at Serenade Cove
We had a great visit. The property is about 20 minutes away from both Looking Glass Rock & Triple Falls Trail which were both amazing. Looking Glass Rock was the more challenging of the two.The property itself has a small walking path around a pond. Walking down the driveway is also pleasant. The property location is great if your intention is going to trails and some breweries. Sierra Nevada and Oscar Blues are 20 minute drives as well (Oscar Blues is great to go to after Looking Glass). We (and our dog Finley) had a great time. The property was set up without many things he could get into mischief with. The bed was comfy. There was cable tv. The view from the porch was awesome but bring a heater in the winter! Definitely would consider booking this again in the future.

Exceeded expectations!
After my wife and I browsed dozens of cabins, covering what felt like the entire north Carolina mountain range, my wife kept coming back to this property. From the listing everything seemed great and the views couldn’t be beat. But let me tell you this cabin definitely exceeded our expectations and I’m so glad we chose to stay here. The cabin was super clean and had everything we needed to make our stay as care free as possible. The views are spectacular and the property itself was very private and felt secluded even tho it was only a short drive to get to town for anything you needed. The hosts were very nice and responsive to our questions and it definitely felt like they thought of everything when setting up and preparing this cabin for its guests, that really went a long way for us. I can’t tell you how many places we’ve stayed where this was not the case at all. We loved our stay so much we are thinking of making it an annual visit! You definitely won’t be disappointed, it will certainly check all your boxes and more than likely it will end up exceeding your expectations! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Snyder

Host profile image
We relocated to the mountains of western North Carolina in 2004 and bought the cabin and 6+ acres in 2006. It had been a long-time summer getaway for a family and was sorely in need of a makeover! We were able to refinish and keep the original pine floors but the entire home was gutted and remodeled. The layout was completely redesigned to allow for a comfortable, open floor plan and windows were added for more natural light. When the 15+ acres behind the property became available, we purchased it and opened up some old hiking trails that were overgrown. We purchased the 5+ acres with the pond below the cabin and built another larger vacation rental which is now available to rent: VRBO # 1551501.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting western North Carolina for years to hike and mountain bike. Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest are two of our favorite destinations. We feel fortunate to live in this area now and love sharing it with others.

What makes this property unique

Serenade Cove offers a hard-to-find combination of privacy and convenience. It is truly a cabin in the woods, and you feel like you are miles away from civilization, but you can grab some groceries or a pizza 5 minutes away in the small town of Etowah. You are also only 15-20 minutes from Hendersonville or Brevard, and 20 minutes from Sierra Nevada's east coast brewery, which we call Malt Disney World! Recent updates include new central heating & air, a newly paved driveway, a freshly painted interior, a whole-house water filtration system and a comfort-height toilet in the main level bath.
