You'll understand why artists congregated here the moment you arrive. The wooded mountain setting is serene and the perfect place to relax and recharge or become inspired for your next creative calling. Drink your morning coffee or tea on our large deck next to the stream, gather inspiration with a book from our large library or jump right in and begin writing your next (novel, article, blog, letter) using our old school typewriter, stationery or on your laptop if that's more your speed. The Historic Writer's Retreat is the perfect setting to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life while still enjoying modern day luxuries. If you get tired of the peace and quiet or feel like having someone else cook for you, the cottage is a short drive to historic downtown Hendersonville and Asheville with many restaurants and grocery stores. Hiking, waterfalls, seasonal apple picking, and vineyards are also close by. ( We provide an updated list to all of our favorite places but encourage you to share any new finds.) Our king size beds use the Zinus Green Tea memory foam mattress (12"). A super thick mattress pad cover and 100% cotton bedding. The mattress is medium firm, which we've found to be the most comfortable for the greatest number of people. Please note that while the Writer's Retreat has been fully updated with modern conveniences, it is still a historic cabin with the quirks of an almost 100-year-old house, including floors that slope and oddly placed steps. It may not be suited for guests with mobility challenges and is not child-proofed. The road in has taken on the same rustic charm since Helene so please be aware that low profile vehicles are not suggested, however, we promise you it is worth the drive and part of the adventure. The Writer's Retreat is directly across the private drive from the Artist's Retreat and visible from the front porch. Consider renting both for groups of up to 8 people. Discover our Yonder Experience Program! Enjoy outdoor adventures, falconry, fly fishing, waterfall tours, and bike rentals. Indulge in in-home chef experiences, art workshops, rooftop bar tours, and axe throwing. Try private scavenger hunts, on-site yoga, and seasonal mini-retreats. Plus, get discounted Biltmore Estate tickets! Learn more about our experiences. Exclusive Yonder Special: When you book Historic Writer's Retreat, you will receive a unique code for discounted tickets to the Biltmore Estate! In for more info. Historic Writer's Retreat is professionally managed by Yonder, a local team with years of experience and passion for providing the ultimate guest experience. Home Truths: \- Sleeps in beds: 4 - Max Occupancy: 4 \- The cabin has parking for 2 vehicles. \- Historic Writer's Retreat has fiber internet. Cell service is good for most carriers. \- We recommend that guests arrive for the first time before dark as it's easy to accidentally turn into a neighbor's driveway in the dark. \- Yonder provides linens for all beds; other occupancy will require guests to provide the extra linens \- Yonder openly shares our Cleaning Fees in a manner of full disclosure, as we think this is the most honest and forthright approach concerning our guests. Our cleaning fees, backed by our Clean Guarantee, reflect the highest standards, pristine environments for our guests, and cleanliness that surpasses any other vacation home; we guarantee it! Quiet Policy: Parties, loud noise, and unruly behavior are prohibited. Guests are expected to respect the neighbors and the peace this mountain retreat area affords. Early Check-In and/or Late Check-Out may be possible, depending on cleaning schedules and other reservations. If possible, an additional fee may apply, determined based on the time you wish to check in or out and the seasonal rates. Pets: Many of our guests have allergies, so we have maintained a pet-free environment so they can enjoy their vacation without the potential of an allergic reaction. If you have a pet, we are happy to recommend some alternatives nearby. Payment - Cancellation - Insurance - Military Discount: Please inquire about our payment and cancellation policies, military discount, and information about vacation rental insurance. Note: Reservations over 30 days are subject for review prior to acceptance.
