Beautiful, well-maintained home in perfect mountain location. The owners clearly care a lot about this home and we tried to take care of it like our own. Kitchen was the most well-stocked of any short-term rental I've ever stayed in. Lots of space, comfortable beds, every possible thing you could need to make a meal and relax with family and friends. Very family friendly space. This house is perfectly situated up a steep, private driveway right near the very popular Catawba Falls trailhead. The yard is private and in mid-Oct, is the perfect setting for a cozy fall rental. The host was very easy to get a hold of and they provided breakfast supplies which came in VERY handy both mornings we were there. I would stay here 100 more times and hope I get the chance to again sooner than later. Thank you for an amazing VRBO experience!

Beautiful
This home is fitted with everything you need for an enjoyable mountain stay. Its quiet with a kitchen that has everything you need to cook, if you choose to, but is within a few miles of Black Mountain restaurants if you want to eat out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to come back. One of the better VRBO experiences I've had.

EXCELLENT GETAWAY IN THE WOODS!
Very beautiful home in the woods. Had everything we needed and then some for my wife, my two young boys, and myself to get away for a while and spend some quality time. together. A fully equipped kitchen, 3 double beds (one of them is a water bed), TV, internet, hiking trails on the property, board games, nice front and back porch to sit outside and enjoy nature, just to name a few of the great things about this house. We also enjoyed the Rodeo down the street in Old Fort on July 3rd and the fireworks that followed! Kayla was always quick to respond to any questions we had through the VRBO messenger. Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home for a couple of days to get away from it all!!

Warm, welcoming, comfortable...one of the best.
Highly recommended! This was one of the warmest and most welcoming places I've stayed at. The house was spacious and comfortable, and the amenities (a welcoming note, provisions in the fridge, muffins, coffee...) were outstanding. Communication with the host was easy and clear. I wish we could have stayed longer, and would gladly come back again.

Quiet area with a perfect front porch near Asheville
Sitting on the front porch of this cabin was perfect! You can hear all of creation chirping. The fridge was stocked full of eggs and bacon as well as other goodies for a great breakfast. Also, you are only a short 30min drive from Asheville. A great place at a great price. Would definitely visit again!

Everything you could ever want
You will not find a better stocked house anywhere. From eggs in the refrigerator to a wonderful waterbed. We enjoy having family gathering there, plenty of room and a very complete kitchen.

Beautiful setting, with goodies in the fridge
We have stayed in rentals from Maine to Florida and this was by far the best equipped. It had more choices for coffee than Starbucks. Breakfast items were in the refrigerator, with a delicious pumpkin roll ready to eat (ignore the scales in the bathroom). Speaking of the bathroom, it was like a spa with a Jacuzzi tub, seated soaps and oil lamps. Beautiful location, away from the road , with a wooded driveway.
