Amazing! Would definitely return. Awesome place to stay, especially if you are traveling with a dog. There must be 1/2 acre of fenced space. Our two small dogs ran and ran and ran and ran! Had a great time hiking in the area and visiting Weaverville, which is also very dog friendly. We ate at the Twisted Laurel and they even had a menu for our pups. Lots to see and do, then back to the house for a relaxing fire by the creek. Definitely recommend!

Everything was wonderful!
It was perfect for a family Christmas!
The property was beautiful and peaceful.
Watching the sunrise with the sound of the creek flowing was my favorite.
Plenty of room both inside and out to gather.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The inside of the cabin was clean and well organized. We really appreciated the labels to indicate was in the cabinets and to let us know which switches controlled the lights. We also really liked having the ability to dim the lighting! The outside of the cabin had plenty of comfortable seating. We especially enjoyed sitting out back with our dog with the stream and butterflies all around us. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent property in a quiet, off the beaten path location in the WNC mountains. Nature all around with a running creek, visiting turkeys, and frequent visits by pipevine swallowtail butterflies. Relaxing country home with front porch and a back deck overlooking the creek, the forest, and the fire pit.

Great wooded cabin - bring your water dogs!!!

We loved this Weaverville getaway. Our dogs splashed in the creek as we sat on the porch enjoying the cool weather and sylvan serenity. The location is great - 10 minutes to Weaverville, 20-25 to Asheville. It is also easy to a range of trails off the Blue Ridge Parkway. We will definitely be coming back.

Everything! The host was exceptional with communication, directions and local highlights. The home was very clean and well appointed with everything we could want. Sitting in the back porch was so peaceful with the stream and we loved the fireplace. There was lots of room to move around and would be perfect for 2 couples. The location was GREAT! I was concerned that it wasn’t closer to the city, but it was only a 20minute ride or so. And, that let us explore some things we may not have if we stayed right in town.

Family Christmas Get Away

The drive to the house quickly reminded me of the devastation of Hurricane Helene. The determination and perseverance of the locals was evident in the clean up efforts. Once at the home, I felt like i had reached my oasis. The home, still showing slight damage from the storm, was standing strong and welcoming. Once inside the views of the outside flowed in through the large windows. The home drew you into her warmth and openness. Everything was very updated and well appointed. The home is perfect for two couples and allowing for privacy. The creek outside and firepit are perfect for the ones who love the outdoors. I hope to have the opportunity to return here in thy spring to honor my mom's wish of seeing the rodis in bloom.

The house was clean enough on the inside but more attention needs to be given to the windows (smeared, not well cleaned, lots of spider webs) and ceiling corners (spider webs). Being that we visited in November, we were looking forward to the gas fireplace but the propane tank was empty and after I notified the host, I was told it would not be filled until after we left. I was also told there would be a starter bundle of wood for the fire pit but none was there. I contacted the host and was told they don’t provide starter bundles of firewood, therefore, I sent them a screenshot of the message I got stating otherwise. That afternoon four bundles were delivered! Yay! The kitchen was well-appointed with nice appliances. The cookware, dishes, glassware and bath and kitchen towels were new! My dog loved the creek! The deck and view were wonderful! My friend and I loved Weaverville. We had great food and I left with a couple of pottery pieces. I’d love to go back!!

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback on your stay. We are pleased to hear that you found the interior of the house clean, well-appointed with nice appliances, and stocked with new cookware, dishes, glassware, and towels. We're also delighted that you enjoyed the wonderful deck and view, the beautiful area of Weaverville, and that your dog had fun by the creek! However, we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the maintenance and amenity fulfillment. Cleanliness: We are very sorry about the condition of the windows and ceiling corners. This is a lapse in our cleaning standards, and we have addressed this immediately with our cleaning team to ensure windows and high corners receive the thorough attention they deserve. Fireplace and Firewood: We deeply regret the confusion and inconvenience regarding the fireplace and firewood. We understand the anticipation of a cozy fire, especially in November. Gas Fireplace: We apologize that the propane tank was empty and that we were unable to refill it during your stay. We will implement a new procedure to check the fuel level before every guest arrival during the cold season. Fire Pit Wood: We apologize for the initial incorrect information you received regarding the starter wood. We are glad we were able to correct the mistake and deliver the four bundles of firewood that afternoon, as promised in your original communication. We are continuously working to improve our guest experience, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us do that. We appreciate your patience and are so happy that despite these issues, you still "loved to go back." We would be honored to host you again to provide the seamless five-star stay you deserve.
