About the host
Hosted by Ron & Kathy
Hi! We’re Ron & Kathy of Hendersonville, NC. We are Vrbo Premier Hosts, co-hosts and owners of Tucked In Vacation Rentals. Ron is the details, jack-of-all-trades part of the business and Kathy adds her expertise from a career in hospitality. Together, we blend our skills to create memorable stays in properties we’ve selectively chosen and thoughtfully appointed. We love what we do and appreciate every guest that's trusted us to give them an unforgettable getaway over the years.😊
Why they chose this property
We purchased this cabin for many reasons. One being its excellent condition and the level of quality of its construction. The builder is one of the best in the area. We also love its location. The cabin is so close to so many cool towns, activities and attractions. Literally, head out in any direction from the cabin and you will find so much to do, and just minutes away!
We also like that the cabin is less than a half-mile to US-64, which is a main route through the area. We're happy, and we think our guests will be to, that time is not wasted traveling gravel, narrow and winding roads to reach it. We're also excited the future Ecusta Trail will pass just below the cabin. The ET is an old railroad bed being converted to a multi-use trail that will connect the towns of Hendersonville and Brevard.
