My husband and I enjoyed 9 days in this wonderful lake house. It is conveniently located between Asheville and Brevard, right off the highway. Brevard Music Festival, the airport and Hendersonville are all less than a 1/2 hour drive away.
The main suite is downstairs (where you come in from the back.) There is a back porch that overlooks a pond from this room. The bath on this level is very nice with a shower (including a hand-held wand) & a separate jacuzzi tub. The laundry room is also on this level. The bed is very comfortable and there are plenty of extra blankets in the closet. A tv, desk, table & sofa are also on this level (no minifridge).
Upstairs is a living room, kitchen, bathroom (tub/shower) and the second bedroom. There are two stairways - one inside another outside. The kitchen has a full size fridge, stove, oven and microwave as well as cooking/servingware. There are coffee makers and tvs on both levels.
Outside the front door upstairs, is a huge partially covered deck. Ceiling fans keep the air moving and the nice outdoor furniture is wonderful for dining. There is a new gas grill and access to the lake which this level overlooks. The mountains in the background make this view 2nd to none.
We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the weather, the view and the quiet - a much needed rest.
We saw white squirrels, geese, a groundhog and lots of birds at this location.
There is a kayak and a paddle boat on the dock for guest use (so nice!) Enjoyed it!

Fishing was fun. My 9 year old granddaughter and I competed to see who would catch the most. When all was over, we tied at 41 fish each. No big ones, but enough to keep us busy. We only used the kitchen for making breakfast a couple of times, but it was equipped well enough for preparing other meals. I personally wish we had taken advantage of the grill on the back porch, but the family wanted to eat out. It was also nice to have the family pet along. The cottage is located in an easily accessible location, right off hwy 280. Fun things to do can be found near by, Hendersonville, slidingrock, Sky Top Apple Orchard, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, etc. There were nine of us and we all had a good time.. a Good Time Had by All.

We wanted to have a nice get away unplugged. We achieved it at this place. No luck fishing in the pond. Over all we had a very nice stay.

Nice cabin feel, lots of outdoor enjoyment, great family setting and amazing views.

The property was very clean. The views were amazing. Sadly I did not catch any trout, but that was because as soon as my bait hit the water I caught a bass or bream.

Amazing stay

My son and I were in town for a baseball camp. We did baseball in the morning, and fished the rest of the day. We caught 68 fish in 3 days :)
Great memories

This place was a great place to go for a guys trip. We were able to fish, relax, and drove into Asheville to catch a baseball game. Everything was as advertised and we had no issues. Would definitely stay here again.

Although close to a main thoroughfare, which did not effect us at all. It was quiet, clean and a very nice sized property to enjoy, including a lake and pond for fishing with boats to utilize on the lake. It has a nice deck overlooking the lake to enjoy with friends and family. There's a grill, outdoor games, and is an all around nice place to gather. I will be looking into this property again for future family get togethers.

We had a great stay! Enjoyed the fishing and the grounds. Property was clean and well kept.

This house was perfect for our friend group especially with the pond for the guys to fish in and to keep them entertained. It was near everywhere we wanted to go too. Will for sure book this house again!
4.6
The property was nice although from the listing we didn't know it was situated on a main road. Owner was prompt with correspondence. My only suggestion would be better maintenance on the grills or at least cleaning brushes for them.
4.6
We enjoyed staying at the house very much. It was well appointed and as advertised. We will stay again.

I stayed here with my two sons and our two small dogs in the fall. We enjoyed catching some bream and making use of the kayak and canoe. The scenery off the back was gorgeous. Beautiful fall colors! We appreciate places who accept pets! The cabin was nice. It definitely got chilly in the downstairs bedroom, but we used the heater that was provided and slept just fine. I will say that if you’re looking for a place that offers peace and quiet while sitting outside and enjoying your coffee, this isn’t the place. It’s located right off the main HWY. Traffic noise was awful. However, this location is ideal if you don’t want to be too secluded from town and all of it’s conveniences. It’s close to Pisgah National Forest which we thoroughly enjoyed! Ashley was very quick to respond to any messages I sent! Thank you for a nice (short, but sweet) weekend get-away from Summerville, SC.

Loved staying here! The pond out front was amazing. A little piece of heaven for me. Walk up fishing, then fishing before bed! Deer in the front yard and the house was awesome! Master bedroom was amazing! Will stay here again next time we are in the area!

Great property, kept our 3 boys entertained for the week with fishing in the ponds!

Super cute, beautiful views and nice ponds.

We took our family for the weekend for my daughter's birthday and this property was beautiful! The pictures doesn't do it justice. When we pulled up there was a deer eating in the front yard. We spent most of our time on the huge back deck and paddle boat. The inside was so clean and nice. Plenty of blankets and pillows. My husband loved the grills. Thank you for the use of your beautiful house!

Not very clean. And no fish. But other then that nice property

Great property, if you like to fish just step outside, great view from huge back deck, the location can’t be any better just a short drive from Brevard and the Pisgah National Forest.
4.6
Didn’t get to stay in the property this time as there was miscommunication to access code. Worked with the owner to resolve issue quickly. Have stayed in the property before and everything was good.
4.6
Great location!
4.6
Close to many hiking sites and that’s what we were most interested in. Ample kitchen items for all our needs and comfortable space for everyone.
4.6
Ashley attempted to be accommodating with a couple of issues that arose. We never did have wifi. That's okay because we were really there to fish. There weren't any fish either. Way overpriced for what we got. The pond and lake are cute.
4.6
Overall it was a great weekend just didn't catch any fish
4.6
Had a great visit, could not of asked for anything more. It's hard to find a property that allows dogs and smoking outside with a grill and a gorgeous view.

This was a beautiful cabin. I rented in November, but I can only imagine what it looks like during the summer! Definitely would rent again
4.6
It was a beautiful place and setting. My wife loved everything about it. I planned the trip as every year around fishing and water. The pond and lake were not well the best. I will not down grade my stay because of it. I fished and sat in the sun., my peace time. As a disabled veteran, unloading and loading car from the bottom floor, and carrying up and down steps was a problem. None of that takes away from our stay. We would plan another stay, just not plan it for fishing.
4.6
The property was exactly as listed, it was absolutely perfect and relaxing. All communication with owners was very pleasant. I will keep this property in mind for future trips

Nice Place
4.6
Located between Asheville and Brevard this cabin was perfect. The kids and I got some fishing in on the pond and the cabin was exactly what we needed.
We come to Asheville enough that I’ll definitely keep this place on our radar.
4.6
Pros: Beautiful property, great for 2 couples, excellent communication with manager, well stocked kitchen, easy access to many things, and, again BEAUTIFUL!!
Cons: Needs some maintenance and repair. Leak(s) from upstair shower leaks to downstairs laundry room and makes a mess on floor. Ceiling tile is badly damaged showing it's been there awhile. A couple small leaks in roof outside on porches.
4.6
The house sits beautifully between the lake and the pond and is in a perfect location for access to the Brevard, Asheville, or Hendersonville areas. It sets up really well for a family with kids or even two couples traveling together. The kitchen is well stocked too if you decide to cook.
4.6
Very comfortable and clean. The outside needs a little TLC but overall very nice. Had trouble finding the property as there was no number on the house or name of the actual road that it's on, after driving around for about 45 minutes called Ashley and she gave us step by step directions. Thanks Ashely!
4.6
This place was just what we needed. The property, lake, boats, deck were great and we spent a lot of time outside. There are a couple things that need work inside, but we didn’t go on vacation to stay inside. Our family would definitely stay here again!
4.6
This property was wonderful - the lake and pond provided fishing fun for our kids each evening. The house was very clean, provided everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.
We would definitely recommend!
4.6
No complaints. Property was cute and functional. The ponds were a nice amenity but did make for lots of bugs at night! Overall we very much enjoyed our trip and would recommend and/or stay there again!
4.6
Love the CLOSE access to water at this cozy cottage!
The small pond is literally off the lower porch and the lake is super close to the large pond off the front porch. I like the available seating areas on the front porch. We also enjoyed a fun time playing corn hole! Thanks for having it available.
