Weekend Getaway

Had a wonderful 4 days! Loved the comfort of the home, reading by the fireplace and on the deck with the babbling creek sounds. Toured the Blue Ridge Parkway, toured Asheville, hit the outlet mall. Teens loved the pool table and games. Beautiful mountain walks from the cabin with vibrant foliage. Hot tub was splendid in the evenings. Couldn’t ask for more.

Wedding weekend

Our first visit to Asheville, and it's for our daughter's wedding. Beautiful time of year to visit! We enjoyed the area and loved the hike on Mt. Pisgah. The house was a little far from the rest of the wedding party but we liked the quiet and calm in the mountains. The lack of cell service was frustrating since it dampened communication with the rest of our group. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

This is the perfect mountain escape in beautiful rural Western North Carolina. Ideal for family gatherings and all ages. My 3 children and their spouses and 3 grandchildren ages 12, 9, and 2.5 all travelled here from various parts of the country for a wonderful vacation. My grandchildren loved the creek and exploring the wildlife and nature around us. Some exquisite butterflies were also around. The babbling creek was so soothing and the musical background. There was a great hike a 10 minute walk up the pisgah highway and many wonderful hikes we accessed by car like Art Loeb ,Mt. Pisgah, etc. The views were incredible!!! Exploring Mountain Towns like Asheville and Brevard also an option. The host was immediately responsive to questions both before and during our stay. . This is a perfect place for a large group. This grandma appreciated the studio cabin adjacent to the main house. 3 families were in the main cabin. There were 9 of us in all. We had a memorable time that's for sure. Very grateful for the respite, something much. The Western NC mountains have always been my "happy place" and so soothing for the soul.

Forest gem for family with kids

This was a lovely place and quite a bargain! Two houses for the price of one. There was a hot tub, a delightful yard a creek a fire pit. I imagine it would be just lovely to take one’s family there to vacation. It is 15 minutes from Pishah Inn and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was not however, perfect for my group because we were coming from all areas of the country and not close personal friends. The Creekside house is awesome and has a queen bed and a Murphy bed but they are very close together and sharing a very large studio open space, none of my hikers were willing to share that space together. In the main house which is very quaint and homey there was an awesome room for parents and another lovely room maybe for grandma and two or three kids. It was kind of an awkward arrangement for five adults. Anyway, it all worked out and we were happy. We were there.

Lovely, peaceful oasis in the woods, close to Asheville

I booked this listing for my family and I as we attended a wedding at The Farm a Gathering Place in Candler (about 8-9 miles from the VRBO). We had such a lovely stay, what a great place! It worked out so well for us location wise to the wedding venue. We loved all the hiking areas around the houses and the little Budgie Bakery down the road had the most amazing fresh made donuts (check them out if you have a sweet tooth - a hidden gem). My 2 little nephews were with us (ages 6 and 3) and they loved looking for crawdads, salamanders and crawly things around the little creek - I think they felt like they were on an adventure everyday. We also loved coffee on the big screened in porch at Creekside Cabin. The kitchens were very fictional as we cooked most of our meals onsite, only eating out a few times with the rehearsal, wedding, and pub crawl in downtown Asheville. This location felt so secluded but was close to everything we could have ever needed. Pam was a lovely host even communicating back and forth with me while she was on vacation herself. Would love to stay again and highly recommend if you are in the Asheville/Candler area. Thank you Pam for such a great place. -The Douglas, Wagner, and Carpenter families

Disappointed Home Cooks, But Overall A Great Stay

We loved the location of this house! The creek was the perfect place for my young kids to play, and the two separate houses gave our extended family plenty of space to spread out. We really enjoyed being close to the parkway and surrounded by nature. Our main disappointment as avid home cooks was the state of the cookware and grill. The grill was not in working order due to previous guests. While I notified the host and she was quick to respond, we were not able to get a working grill to the house during our stay. In addition, the pots and pans were a bit of a hodge-podge. They were obviously old and not good quality, and we ended up buying a few inexpensive new pans so we would have something good enough to cook on. In addition, we found a mixer without beaters in the main house and beaters without a mixer in the smaller cabin, but they did not go together, so that also presented a struggle. Anytime we had a question or a problem, the host was very quick to respond. The houses were clean and had all the listed amenities except the working grill. Check-in and check-out processes were reasonable and easy. The property is gorgeous and so relaxing! Overall, we had a wonderful stay!

We rented both the house and the small cottage together. The main house is a bit dated and must have been closed up for awhile as it had a stale air smell. The small cottage is more updated and did not need to be aired out. This property is in a great spot to enjoy the peace of the mountains and has a small babbling brook nearby that you can hear from the screened in porch.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are the Lyle family. My husband and I have been married since 1991. He is originally from the beautiful hill country of Northern California, and I am from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Therefore, naturally, we both have a love affair with the mountains. We have an amazing daughter who is currently serving as an officer in the United States Coast Guard. My husband’s military career has provided us the good fortune of living all over the country, and we have ultimately decided to make the Blue Ridge Mountains of Ashville our home for much of the year.

We both have a great passion for nature. We love to spend our time camping, mountain biking, and hiking. We are also avid inline skaters, which provides us many adventures all over the world. Our Blue Ridge home offers us a babbling brook, wildlife, beauty, gentleness, and clean mountain air, that we LOVE! Because of our love of travel and staying in many beautiful and unique vacation homes all over the world, we decided to offer up our home as a vacation rental and share a slice of our heaven.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with being immersed in the forest. The fresh babbling creek was an absolute love at first sight. Equal to beauty is the convenience of being so close to world class parkways, dinning and the arts of Asheville.
