Relaxing and perfect for us

Terri is a great host. Everything was clean and ready to use. We loved strolling around in the evening and enjoying watching the horses. It was the perfect spot for our week of activities in the Asheville/Hendersonville area. It was great to rent a house that everything worked and was trouble free.

Lovely tranquil stay

We loved our stay here! Beautiful surroundings, and I enjoyed watching the horses. Hosts have done a fabulous job providing everything needed in the cottage. The bed was amazingly comfortable. Best sleep we've had in ages! Between that and the hot tub, our backs feel fantastic. Looking forward to staying here again next time we're in the Asheville area.

Amazing Family Vacation

The property was absolutely gorgeous. Was so nice to wake up and see the horses in the pasture. Family enjoyed fishing at the farm pond each day. It was awesome to feel so secluded at the property, but be only a short drive from downtown or other shops and restaurants. The house itself was beautiful and we loved everything about it. Would absolutely look to book again when visiting the area.

Girls’ weekend at Biltmore

The house was perfect for us to get away and enjoy hanging out. Easy access to restaurants when we wanted to go out. Full kitchen for when we cooked and stayed in. It sits away from any neighbors but is close enough to Biltmore. The house was clean and well cared for.
