This is one of my favorite vacation rentals, if not my very favorite. It’s very well appointed. The theater is amazing. Being close enough to downtown Asheville (40 min), it’s the best of a mountain/city vacation.

The house was very clean and just as described. Our family had a wonderful stay. Jeff and Kara made the process very easy for us and we'll stay there again next time we visit the area.

Thank you Amiee for the wonderful review of Timber Ridge Retreat and our Wolf Laurwl community!! We would love to have your family back again with us !!
We loved our stay at this property! We traveled with our 4 kids and my parents. There was space for everyone and plenty to do. The house was designed to work well for families and children, what a plus! The location was good and the community had a lot to offer. The only down side is that we should’ve stayed longer.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It’s truly a blessing for us to have families like yours come and enjoy our cabin. We definitely would love to have you back again. Thank you for taking such great care of everything.
This house is beautiful, clean and offers numerous separate areas to hang out including a separate bedroom/bath upstairs on its own floor, game and lounge area downstairs and on main floor. Overall I would highly recommend and the views are beautiful. The owners were terrific and communicated in advance as well as checked in during our stay.

Thank you, Heidi for the wonderful review! We very much value your communication and taking great care of our property. We hope to have you back again in the future.
We really liked the cabin and had a wonderful time. Would recommend it to others in a heartbeat. Pictures and amenities are accurate to the listing. Would definitely advise 4wd if there has been a recent snow as the road the cabin is on doesn’t get cleared off as fast as the others. We hope to return soon!
Very comfortable new home with nice amenities. Kitchen has everything you need. Beautiful view of mountains. Deer seen every day. Kara and Jeff were very responsive and we enjoyed our stay.
