About this property

THE LOVERLY - Your Romantic Love Nest - hot tub, 3 fireplaces, 2 bath, gazebo

Escape to The Loverly, your perfect romantic hideaway for your special occasion. Whether it's a honeymoon, anniversary, engagement or elopement, this amazing one-bedroom cottage is sure to impress. With two full bathrooms and a full kitchen equipped with full-size appliances, you'll have everything you need for a comfortable and convenient stay.

The highlight of the bedroom is the fabulous reclining zero-gravity king bed with vibration feature. You can also enjoy a flat panel TV with streaming TV service (Netflix & Prime Video) in both the living room and bedroom, along with high-speed internet. During cooler months, cozy up by the gas log fireplace with remote in the living room.

The screened-in gazebo provides a peaceful retreat from pesky mosquitoes and rain, while the propane gas stove keeps you warm on cooler nights. You can also soak up the surrounding forest trees on the deck, weather permitting. The Loverly is the perfect location for honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, and more. Plus, it's centrally located, with downtown, the Biltmore Estate, Lake Lure & Chimney Rock, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, and Asheville all within a 25-minute drive.

Complete with AC and heating, The Loverly is the ideal base for a mountain adventure. At the end of a day exploring, unwind in the hot tub or relax on the deck with a cool drink, soaking up the peace and tranquility of your surroundings.

Located just 17.5 miles from downtown Asheville, 17 miles from the Biltmore, and approximately 20 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, The Loverly is close enough to all the action, yet secluded enough to enjoy a serene mountain getaway. Grocery stores are also just a short 15-minute drive away.

Don't just take our word for it, one guest from Toronto raved about their stay, saying "The place is amazing!!! You have done a fabulous job!!! We are so excited...This is going to be one heck of a fantastic weekend. It truly is a hidden gem." The Loverly is surrounded by mountains and forests, away from paved thoroughfares. It is accessed via a well-maintained gravel road - 6/10 mile total unpaved road. Book your stay at The Loverly today and experience it for yourself!

Everything was perfect. Our Host called us to make sure we got in and everything was in order. She was very helpful in getting us around the area and had great suggestions for food and beverage. The cabin was very clean and cozy, the hot tub was amazing, and being secluded was just what my wife and I needed.

Romantic retreat in the woods

Press the Pause Button to Reconnect

The Loverly is hypnotically tranquil and just the right atmosphere for reconnecting with each other. We loved discovering the Trailhead up above us and exploring our way by car down the mountain. No noises, just silence and a sweet cabin that leaves nothing unprovided to ensure your comfort. Looking forward to our next trip back! Thanks Brea!

Great Escape

The property exceeded what we had anticipated. Everything, furniture, silverware, cutlery, dishes, pots and pans were of high quality. The tv and dvd player were easy to operate and there was not enough time to screen all the dvd's provided. The bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. The cleanliness and decor of the property were impeccable and check-in and out were seamless, as well as the ease of communication with the owner. This is a highly recommened property not to be missed. We will be revisiting.

This is such a relaxing and cozy environment. The host is fantastic and keeps the cottage immaculate. We truly loved our stay. It's about a 1/2-hour drive to downtown Asheville and Biltmore: a gorgeous drive and lots of good coffee shops. We really wanted to see a bear but had no luck.Would absolutely recommend staying here.

Relaxing Anniversary Getaway

The Loverly checked all of the boxes for our anniversary getaway. Brea is a delight, and very thorough! Her cottage is cozy, and the setting is so peaceful. The bed is amazingly comfortable, and the kitchen is very well stocked. Tip: Be sure to hit the grocery prior to arriving. We were happy to have one chilly morning to enjoy our coffee and reading by the fireplace. We enjoyed hiking nearby, visited Brevard, Black Rock Mountain and Asheville. The gravel road was our only concern with our trip. We met quite a few work trucks while coming and going and had to back up & find a safe place to pull off for them to pass each time. Future travelers should be aware and use caution.

Wonderful, peaceful, relaxing

We enjoyed 3 nights at the Loverly. The home is beautiful, clean, and very welcoming! The peace and quiet of the remote location was a nice contrast to the busy atmosphere of downtown Asheville, which is a very convenient distance away. We had an unfortunate mishap with the oven, but Brea was very understanding and easy to communicate with. We have added the Loverly to our list of places we must return to as soon as possible!

Calming and Relaxing

The property was beautiful with many welcoming touches placed throughout the home. However, we were extremely disappointed with the gazebo fireplace not working as it was a major draw when we booked.

Perfect Relaxing Retreat

Everything was perfect until we had to leave this little oasis right before Hurricane Helene whipped through the area. It was a dissappointing decision to make since we still had so much remaining on our to-do list. The house lived up to its Loverly name and was a love nest in every aspect. Now, we pray for the kind people of Ashville. God bless you, Brea and David.

Peaceful escape in nature

The property has everything you need and Brea is more than helpful and available to help make your stay perfect. We enjoyed the large trees, the sounds of nature, the fireplaces and the hottub. The location is great, between Lake Lure and Asheville, which is right where we wanted to be to hike and explore. We loved the wine place right in Fairview, Rooted in Wine, along with Hickory Nut Gap to get fresh, local meat to grill. The only warning is that it is a tough driveway to get up. We had a small rental SUV and we couldn't get up the driveway going forward. Thankfully, my husband grew up in the mountains so he backed up the driveway each time and it wasn't a problem. Other than that, it's just a bit further from everything to go down the slow, dirt road, but we didn't mind that. We wanted the more remote feel. We would definitely stay again if back in the area!

Relax and Rejuvenate

Relax in the bubbling hot tub as the wind blows through the trees and the birds sing. Enjoy a quiet moment in the gazebo while warming by the gas fireplace. Sleep as if you are floating on a cloud in the zero-gravity bed while the moon gazes down on you from the sky light. Experience glamping with all the comforts and conveniences of a luxury vacation.

Honeymoon Stay at The Loverly

The Loverly is such a beautiful place to stay! Pictures didn’t do it justice! Up in the mountains, you may want to make sure your car has 4 wheel drive, but it was perfect! My husband and I stayed there for a week in June for our honeymoon. About half an hour from town it’s a convenient location. Brea is an amazing host! She is super great with communication and provides so many suggestions on things to do during your stay. Check in and check out are seamless and if her instruction book leaves room for any questions you may have, just give her a call or text and she’s able to help! Definitely would stay here again if back in the Asheville area!

About the host

Host profile image
I've been managing our properties since 2006. Started with one property and now we have 4. I'm an esthetician and spa owner. I know comfort and you'll find the Loverly is spa-like in its decor. I love making my guests feel at home and comfortable. I look forward to hosting you at the Loverly.

Why they chose this property

I wanted a special place for a couple. This place has so much to offer. A beautiful location, fireplace in living room and bedroom (how romantic is that), two baths, a sunroom, a gazebo and I placed a firepit in there, added a deck with a 4-person hot tub. It is luxury for sure.

What makes this property unique

Zero gravity bed with reclining features, fireplace in bedroom as well as living room, romantic hot tub and firepit in the screened-in gazebo. Plenty of things to keep you at the property, but close to Asheville, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. It is centrally located and close to the airport as well.
