The location is superb- in the lap of beautiful mountains, privacy, seclusion, but with all conveniences just 30 minutes away. Beautiful views of mountains and meadows, fire place, chairs, swing in gazebo. A perfect way to be in commune with beautiful nature. The hosts were also amazing - Polite, warm hearted, absolutely wonderful in all ways. They showed us around in their garden, and sent us back with loads of wonderful home-grown herbs and vegetables.

The artwork and tile work inside were so beautiful and interesting, only to maybe be rivaled by the gorgeous sunrises and garden. The owners were very responsive to questions and loved meeting them and their dog. Their pony was super cute too. Conveniently located to Asheville and all it has to offer as well as hiking trails. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Adrienne S.

Beautiful views..nice short hiking trail..away from the city...just a beautiful location... ##### John S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce B. 31 Dec 2017 #### One of the most incredible places! Every inch is tastefully decorated and the views spectacular . The scenic drive into the area begins to prepare you for a truly unique and beautiful experience. Play Rons CDs as you take in Rachels beautiful tiling and art of the cottage and while you are having coffee overlooking the mountains and rolling hills. We hiked a small trail around the cottage and enjoyed watching the two ponies as well as following Ron’s recommendations for hiking the BRP and visiting surrounding towns. It is such a peaceful and beautiful retreat. ##### Joyce B. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon and Butch D. 5 Nov 2018 #### PERFECT!

If you want to get away from it all and enjoy some quite peaceful moments this is the place. Our stay was in September, a bit off season, but the scenery inside and out was absolutely gorgeous. The art and music provided the perfect atmosphere. Everything was very clean and maintained. The owners provided for all our needs and even gave us great suggestions on places to eat nearby and scenic routes to take. We would love to do it all over again. ##### Knox P.

I know it's not "ours" technically but it felt like home. We loved waking up to beautiful, peaceful sunrises in this cozy place. We needed to escape city living for a while and this was the perfect place. We hiked, we cooked, we slept (very well I might add). I wish we could have stayed longer. Rachel and Ron were wonderful hosts (Sparky, our hooved friends and kitty cat were great companions). We are looking forward to our next visit. ##### Aisha N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John C. 22 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our second stay This was our second stay at the cottage and it was our very first vrbo 8yrs ago. My wife loved it so much that she wanted to go back. Our son who is now 12yrs old got to sled a little bit this time with the snow. My wife got to recreate pictures of him when we first visited when he was 4yrs old. Took the long hike around the property this time as well. Great owners and great property. ##### John C.

It is in a beautiful setting - very peaceful. My husband and I stayed for three nights and were quite comfortable. Ron and Rachel were friendly and welcoming but gave us plenty of privacy. We had packed food for breakfast and one dinner, since there don't appear to be any restaurants very nearby. The kitchen had all we needed. The drive to Asheville was about 30 minutes as expected, and it's a pleasant drive. It was also a pretty easy drive to hiking trails along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and we checked out the town of Weaverville, too. We highly recommend the cottage! ##### Maureen M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose C. 20 Oct 2015 #### Great views This is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The cottage is very nice and tucked away from the city of Asheville, which is 15-20 min away. We were greeted by their friendly dog, Sparkie, on the way in. Be advised that it is a dirt road getting in and out of the cottage. Going too fast in a normal car is not a good idea. On our way out we met Ron, who was a very pleasant person, and thanked him for providing a great place to stay. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking to get away from it all. ##### Jose C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2015 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa S. 13 Feb 2017 #### Magical We had an absolutely amazing stay here. This beautiful cottage stays with you. Rachel and Ron are amazing hosts and artists. There is a beautiful white horse that we were convinced was truly a unicorn if we could only see. There is so much thought and love put into every nook and cranny of this cottage. Rachel's art is beautiful and throughout the cottage. Ron's music is so soothing and brilliant. It's very close to Asheville which was easy to get to. This location is great bc it satisfies your need for peace, beauty, and harmony, while being an easy drive to the happening restaurants and culture of Asheville. I highly recommend this property. A nature and art lover's haven. ##### Melissa S. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ione F. 31 Jul 2017 #### Beautiful place and delightful hosts This place is gorgeous inside and all around! We loved it! All the good stuff about the interiors that everyone says. The gardens are amazing. It is a good drive from Asheville, so if you want close to the city, this is not for you. The higher elevation makes for cooler temps than Asheville, a welcome thing in July! Tips for future loggers: The place has a coffee maker and filters; however, I would bring a coffee measure with me next time as there are no measuring spoons or measuring cups. You might want to pick up some ice on your way in. There's are ice cube trays, but there wasn't really enough when we got there, although we refilled them and had plenty the next day. These were minor problems. We loved our stay! ##### Ione F.

As soon as we got inside, we could feel the tranquility of the setting just melt away our stress. We immediately felt like we were home. The brook which runs just outside the cottage does wonders for creating this atmosphere. Even the rain on the tin roof panels created a wonderful sound which helped us sleep soundly! The photos don't do justice to how beautiful the area really is. The place was clean and comfortable. Ron and Rachel were great with pointing us in the right direction for what we needed to find (groceries, etc.) Downtown Asheville is great. There is a lot to see and do. We fell in love with the Mellow Mushroom restaurant. The food was excellent! There is something for every palette there. When we come back to the area, we'll likely stay at the cottage again. My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend this place!

We are so lucky to be the first guests. The floor downstairs is covered with hand picked marbles and mosaic arranged in beautiful patterns. The walls are decorated with lots of original paintings, which are well matched with the cottage and the views from windows. The mountain views from two large windows of the cottage are fantastic. The hosts are very friendly people. Upon our arrival, we had a bootle of champagne sitting on the table together with a platte of chocolate and a beautifully arranged boutique of hand picked flowers. We also had a great time visit their main house and picked some great fresh vegetables in their garden. The drive way to this cottage is a half mile stretch of gravel road. But it is not difficult to access. We drove a toyota corolla and it was not a problem for us. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan I. 14 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magic in the Mountains This was our second visit to the incomparable Clearfield cottage. It just gets better. We spent our mornings in the large window-seat overlooking what can only be described as paradise: a mosaic of English gardens, sweeping mountain vistas, whimsical storybook characters like the small horse who \*loves\* carrots and the frolicking sheepdog (aptly named after the word 'adorable'). By night, we enjoyed the galactic display of stars and lightening bugs glittering outside, listening to the stirring cello music on Ron's CDs and gazing at the art exhibited throughout the cottage walls and floors: Rachel Clearfield has not yet met a medium (cabinets, jewelry, canvas) she cannot make breathtakingly beautiful. Of course, we availed ourselves of the nearby goings-on: hiking trails (highly recommend Craven Gap) Asheville beer tours, farmers markets, live music. Clearfield cottage is what happens when artists find Earth. It is exquisite and we will be back very soon. ##### Susan I.
