Magical Cabin, Wonderful Hosts, Beautiful Scenery

Magical cottage on beautiful property

This cottage was absolutely beautiful. The decor, the cleanliness, and the unbelievable property, were even better than the pictures. It was the perfect getaway for us, combining peace and quiet and natural beauty, but close enough to the city in the Blue Ridge Parkway to do many different things. We would definitely stay here on another trip to North Carolina.

Relaxing Getaway

The property is an amazing getaway destination. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The screened porch and deck over the pond are a perfect place to end the day listening to the sounds of nature and gazing at the stars. Napping in the hammocks in the screened porch is a must. Possibly the nicest property we have ever stayed at.

This property was one of most comfortable and charming cottages we have ever stayed in. The pond and landscaping are beautiful and were all blooming. The home has all the things you could need for a wonderful stay. Sitting on the upper porch watching the moon come up or on the dock catching a fish or two. The host was there for us anytime we needed to contact them. Highly recommend this cottage and we will be back.

A break from reality

My husband and I loved staying here. We loved that you could only hear birds chirping and cows mooing when you open the doors. No planes, traffic, or craziness of day to day when you enter the property. It was a great relaxing weekend!

Quaint and well maintained house. Exceeded expectations. Peaceful area, limited houses behind house, so just views of fields and mountains (along with pond).

Asheville Mountain Beauty Retreat

Very nice property with beautiful views of the mountains. Very clean, quiet and great quality. Decorations were reminiscent of old farm houses we grew up in and visited as kids. The pond and boat house were really a hit with us, spent a lot of time reading, talking and enjoying the private accommodations. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back again someday.

Getaway with friends

This was our 2nd stay in your lovely home and it did not disappoint. We brought another couple with us and they loved the place as much as we did. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Only disappointment was the fish weren't biting very much this year, but I'm sure we'll be back to try again!

Just Perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jacqui’s cottage. She thought of everything to make our stay comfortable including wine and homemade muffins - yum😊 The peaceful, beautiful farm setting was so relaxing that we would come back after a day of touring around just to enjoy dinner on the deck and fish a little more🐟 we will definitely want to stay here again anytime we are in the area!

Idyllic countryside property still close to Asheville

This beautiful property was exactly what our family of 4 needed! Close to downtown and yet far enough away for blissful relaxation. The darling home was perfectly appointed and we wanted for nothing! Photos do not come close to capturing the beauty of the property and surrounding lands. Stocked pond kept our teenage boys busy catching bluegill and catfish while the adults relaxed in the many picturesque sitting areas. Will definitely return if another opportunity presents itself! A++++

30th Anniversary Get Away

From the minute you walk in the front door you feel at home! The attention to detail and comfort are outstanding. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck enjoying our dinner, the beautiful view and the quiet. My husband loved fishing on the pond and caught a variety of fish. It was my first time fishing and caught a 3 -4 lb large mouth bass and needless to say I'm hooked. The covered porch on the dock was great as I sat and watched my husband fish in the rain! Lower level is just as nice as the top floor. We will definitely be back again. Thanks for opening your home to us!

Country come city!

Loved the location, and the owners are easy to work with. Just outside of the city of Asheville in the scenic NC countryside. Lovely cozy home with all the amenities and a true fish pond! Cozy beds, soft towels, full size washer & dryer, lots of kitchen tools, plenty of privacy. Only drawback, and the reason I gave it four stars, was because have to turn off the heat and open the window to light a fire. We had a cold snap, and having to open a window 6" made the house freezing. So we had to sit right in front of the fireplace to stay warm until we could burn out the fire. But I think nine months out of the year, this little house would be a great choice (unless you don't want to use the fireplace). The HVAC systems (one on each floor!) work great. I would definitely stay here again.

Tranquility Base

On our recent road trip we spent a few days in the Asheville area and decided to opt for some country peace and quiet. We were intrigued by the Hiraeth Hill Cottage listing and we were not disappointed. This cottage is out of a Country Living feature. It is clean, super comfortable, well equipped, furnished and maintained. No detail is missed. Kudos to Jacqui and Josh on a superb property. Jacqui was super responsive at every step from our initial inquiry through check out and follow up. We'd give 6 stars if possible - Looking forward to a return visit!
