Great Getaway

Donna’s cabin sits on a stunningly beautiful property. To reach the house you drive past a lovely horse farm with mountains all around. The cabin is cozy with everything you need including a hot tub and screen porch that overlooks a tranquil lake. The inside is well appointed and very clean. The bed was very comfortable with extra pillows and blankets. If you’re looking for a magical forest getaway this ticks all the boxes.

A slice of paradise!

Donna's property is a true gem tucked away for ultimate relaxation. We loved that while staying at the cabin, we really felt like we could unplug and be in nature. Even more, we loved that the cabin was at a perfect driving distance from anything you wanted to do in town, so you could have the best of both worlds. The cabin was very clean, cozy, and had all the things you would need for your stay. Donna is very attentive and easy to contact. Highly HIGHLY recommend this cabin for your stay in Asheville! Can't wait to be back!

Wonderful experience

Donna and Curtis were absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful. The cabin is cozy and clean and has everything we needed. The porch and the hot tub were much needed after a day of exploring Asheville. The fishing was phenomenal. A much needed break from life for a couple of days. We will definitely be back.

Perfect quiet getaway!

Couldn't have asked for a better spot for a few days in the Asheville area. Loved eating out on the porch and then enjoying our downtime in the hot tub. Sierra Nevada Brewery is a short drive and its beautiful, but we decided to go straight back to our private spot and enjoy the peace there instead! Loved the personal touches when we arrived and the owner is readily available if needed. Can't wait to go back!

Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I wanted a quiet getaway for the weekend, and this cabin was perfect for us. It was the ideal size for our stay. The screened porch overlooking the pond was incredibly relaxing, and the hot tub allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even when it was a bit chilly outside. The kitchen is fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals on-site; all you need to do is bring your own food. Donna and Curtis are great hosts. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Romantic Getaway

Cozy little cabin home secluded but close enough to society. This property met all expectations. I decided to suprise my girlfriend with a weekend at this lovely home for her 30th birthday and we could not have asked for more. The owner was very nice and helpful for anything that we needed during our stay. Beautiful views, comfy bed, gorgeous bathroom, perfectly placed firepit for the cold nights, and I cant forget the wonderful hottub. This was the best romantic mtn getaway for us. Thank you for having us.

Peaceful place to unwind

This place was exactly what we were looking for. Nice quite place to unwind. Felt like you are in the mountain but close enough to everything to be able to enjoy it all. Had all the basics included. Some good tips for hiking trails. Great place to get away. We will be back
