Very nice, cozy place in an excellent location for our needs. Weather was beautiful for our Christmas visit with family and the Coach House had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to explore the property. King size bed was a winner! Would stay here again and highly recommend.

Pleasant Stay at the Coach House!
Pleasant Stay at the Coach House!
We were in Asheville for a week and had a great time. While we really enjoyed the quiet and solitude of the Ox Creek Coach House, the drive back to the house after a full day of activity could be somewhat daunting, especially on dark, rainy evenings. The roads were very curvy and dark. Fortunately not a lot of traffic! Other than the travel to and from the house, everything else was very nice. The place was well equipped for cooking. The furnishings and ambiance were very warm and welcoming. Morning walks were very pleasant. All in all a really good place to stay. Just be aware that getting there can take a bit of time on very curvy roads. I definitely recommend approaching the property from Weaverville rather than Asheville -- less curves!

Amazing location, amazing accommodations
Amazing location, amazing accommodations
What a cozy, welcoming unit. When you pull up you feel the stress melt away, when you enter you feel like you've been wrapped in a warm embrace. All of the convenience of home, the serenity of the mountains and the calming sound of the creek as you sit on the swing on the porch. I can't say enough about this property. It was clean, well equipped and in great order. The property owners were so helpful and available if we needed them. This was a getaway for the family and I assure you, we will return time and again. Don't pass this jewel up, it's worth the trip.

We beat the crowd and vacaed weekday. Hung out a lot outdoors, the roaring creek wonderful. The porch, so cool, sat on the swing. Opened up the windows and turned off the air. Slept late, went to Mount Pisgah for lunch. Blue Ridge Parkway is 2 miles away. Cooked out on the porch for dinner Day 2 went to River Arts District for lunch at 12 Bones and Gallery Crawl, only a 24 minute drive to Asheville. Did yoga down by the creek! A perfect spot. Be back soon!
