This cottage was very comfortable and very clean. The host was always responsive and exercised a lot of attention to detail. This was a wonderful place to come back and relax at after being away for the day. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

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.

Didn’t spend a lot of time at the property, but when we did it was nice and relaxing! Hot tub felt great after a day of walking around the Biltmore, and the horses and wildlife were so enjoyable. Would definitely stay again!

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.

Beautiful & Peaceful cottage living!

What a beautiful cottage, felt just like home from the moment we walked in the door. Pretty fresh flowers greeted us on the kitchen table. 2 very large size bedrooms & baths...perfectly sized for our stay it was myself, my fiancée & his parents. If you love quiet & tranquil space THIS is the place!! No hustle of a busy hotel...Loved looking out the window at the horses, unfortunately it rained most of the weekend so we couldn't experience too much outdoors BUT definitely plan on a Summer weekend trip & will book here again! Five stars!!

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.

Great Family Stay

The property was very quaint, quiet, and just as advertised. The little ones loved seeing the horses each morning, and taking little walks around the farm. It was a nice stay and everything we needed to be comfortable was provided for. The location is great, not too far from all the parks and trails or the city. Getting around was very easy to and from the farm. Totally enjoyed it and made our spring break getaway memorable!
