The cabin was very clean and comfy. My favorite part, of course, was the porch overlooking the lake. My husband and brother in law fished non stop! If your looking a for a rustic, cool cabin by the water and close to Hendersonville, this is your spot. I have had 3 people ask me for details. It’s fabulous. You will love it!

We fell in love with this property and it was perfect for our family. We wanted somewhere to relax and do some fishing and it was exactly that. The dogs loved swimming and running around and enjoyed it just as much as we did. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property!

Totally enjoyed our visit in June. Property owner Ms. Ann was very nice and so easy to communicate with. The property was very clean and so serene. It became almost magical at dusk when the fireflies came out. Thank you so much Ms.Ann for sharing your wonderful property. We would love to visit again next year!

Secluded escape with super convenient amenities

The property is an oasis with the feeling of a secluded mountain cabin escape while being only minutes away to charming downtown Hendersonville. It really is the best of both world’s. We loved our stay and could not have imagined a better experience. Having stayed in Asheville numerous times, the exhaustion of driving around treacherous roads from a remote comfy cabin to the busy hilly roads of downtown Asheville pales in comparison to this property. Having the rustic experience of a cabin/pond so close to the accessible and good vibes of Main st Hendersonville made for a magical weekend.

Timberlake Cabin

The cabin was as described The host was communicative, checking in on us when we arrived. We found the cabin cute, rustic and cozy. It is close to a main road but very quiet. Had everything we needed and more. We ate in a lot and had everything we needed to prep and cook meals. Plenty of clean linens and towels and the washer and dryer were an asset. The outdoor space was lovely and the amenities provided by the host were fantastic; canoe, paddle board, lawn games and dog toys and more. Enjoyed the screened porch and open deck for bird and watching the squirrels eat the black walnuts; especially enjoyed the visits by the solid white squirrel. Unfortunately we had to cut our visit short due to Hurricane Helene and the conditions caused by the storm.

Wonderful weekend getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Timberlake cabin. Everything was exactly as described, and every question we had promptly answered. You simply cannot beat the location! It felt like we were tucked in the woods, but it’s almost downtown. I loved how close we were to two grocery stores and tons of restaurants. We look forward to planning another stay when we can enjoy fishing in the lake. The record breaking hard freeze from the week before had frozen the lake. It was thawing by the time we were leaving, but we still enjoyed the serene view! Our two children begged for just one more night when it was time to leave. The dog even loved the outside space and we felt extremely safe. Clearly, enjoyed our long weekend and can’t wait to return!

Perfect for a Small Family (+dogs!)

What a great place to stay for our long weekend in western NC. The cabin is very cute and fit our family of four perfectly. We sat on the porch in the mornings and enjoyed the sun and peaceful setting. Our boys LOVED having the opportunity to fish and take the canoe out on the pond. They got to experience alls types of wildlife, including Sheldon the *surprisingly* huge fish! Our dogs were in hog heaven and had plenty of room to run and roam and enjoyed several dips in the pond (there’s a hose there to rinse them off). The house had everything that we needed and was perfectly located for our plans to visit both Asheville and Pisgah National Forest. We had one question while we were there and Anne was immediately accessible. Thanks Anne! We’ll definitely be back.

Ramshackle Charm

We rented the property because it offered a three-acre, fenced property with a small pond. The house has seen better days and the pond, unfortunately, is being taken over by aquatic weeds. The property is located off a very busy, narrow road, and while it is fenced, it is easy for an excited-to-be-on-vacation dog to get through the gate. If your dog has any energy at all, you need to keep it in sight at all times, preferably on a leash. The house needs a thorough cleaning, inside and out-- but we have to admit that the longer you stay, the less you notice the defects. It has a certain charm. We do suggest that guests bring their own towels as the ones provided were essentially rags. We also recommend that the owner remove most of the decorative clutter to give the space a cleaner vibe. One last note, we enjoyed being in the trees and being able to watch stars, fireflies, and even the lights of jet planes from the bedroom window.

What's not to like ?

From the time we arrived we realized what special property we had chosen. First let me say Ms.Anne went out of her way to be in touch, because I chose to get a new phone carrier the day before we left. I would not make this decision again None the less, Miss Ann had the foresight to leave me email , in order for us to be in touch. Upon meeting our host we knew immediately we had made the right decision in renting this lovely, amazing, old school cabin. This host hides nothing. If you have a problem with this property, " unless you want grove park" easy up the road 18 miles, will cater to all your needs for 450-600 A NIGHT. here you will slide right in ,relax , and enjoy. There is no possible reason not to. We have been here a week and have no desire to leave. Down town is 5 minutes, fine restaurants. Nice grocery shopping the same, if you budget shop or only organic. There are also gourmet choices within 5 minutes . We were gifted a beautiful snow shower , two days later 70 degrees, house is spotless, as gated and private as you choose to be. Lake is awesome with a small breeding clutch of mallards. The hardwoods creek a little, and the wonderful stone fireplace burns ever so smooth. If you want a get away and aren't to fussy, this place is awesome. We will be staying again, if were aloud. ? We travel often, the host at this property should be commended.

Our stay was everything that it was described to be. Private, secluded, pet friendly. There wasn't anything we needed that wasn't there for us. Well equipped kitchen and lots of outside amenities from water craft to games/toys. Highlights were mornings on the shady porch sipping coffee and evenings gazing a the stars above and enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature.

Pure bliss

We absolutely loved our stay at Timberlake Cabin! The setting is peaceful and beautiful, with great fishing right on the property. The location is perfect — close to town, but still feels like a true getaway. The cabin itself was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped. One of our favorite features was the huge fenced-in yard — our dogs had the time of their lives running and exploring safely. We've already rebooked for two more vacations and truly can't wait to come back!
