Love the red loft! Everything you could need was there. I loved the front screened porch! Kitchen was stocked nicely. We fell in love with North Carolina and will definitely be back. It is the best for mountain biking. So beautiful!

Beautiful cabin in the woods, wouldn't have changed a thing. Amazing location for the Blue Ridge scenic route and visiting Asheville.

Our family of four stayed at the Red Loft cabin in Candler, NC and had the best time! The cabin was equipped with everything we needed during our time there. We spent most of our time touring the Biltmore estate or hiking to nearby waterfalls. I highly recommend booking this cabin!

This property looked exactly as listed, with good amenities. Towels were stocked, a coffee maker and a keurig, good Wi-Fi (you will need it, we didn’t get cell service). It’s located on a pretty mountain road but still an easy drive to Asheville.

The Red Loft was clean and well supplied with anything you may need for cooking, extra bedding and towels. Plenty of comfortable seating, sleeping, gas fireplace and enclosed front porch. There was a nearby hiking trail. We enjoyed our stay and would rent again.

If you’re looking for a nature retreat to disconnect for a few days this is your place. The screened in porch made morning coffee that much more enjoyable.

We enjoyed our short stay in "The Red Loft". It was clean, comfortable, well-stocked, and only a 20 minute drive to Asheville. We particularly enjoyed watching the birds and small wildlife from the screened-in porch. We didn't get any internet or cellphone service, but that was part of the charm for us. Highly recommend for a get-away!

This home was the perfect size and location for a weekend getaway to the Asheville area and full of charm with a cozy cabin in the woods vibe. A best of both world spot - close enough to Asheville but also wonderfully rural and really close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was very cold when we were there and the gas fireplace was amazing and the house stayed toasty warm. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was spotless. In the summer I’m sure I would have spent many hours on the beautiful front porch swing or on the patio enjoying the gas grill. When we arrived everything was perfect. Edison lights greeted us as did a little Christmas tree and stockings hung by the fireplace. Internet was much appreciate by this city girl and while cell phone service was not great (never is in the mountains) we were able to utilize WiFi calling. Everything was clean and welcoming. A couple of things that kept me from giving it 5 stars overall - the bed in the master bedroom needs replacing and preferably with at least a queen size. Also the living room has a futon as a sofa and it just wasn’t the most comfortable for a fireside hangout. The last suggested improvement would be the towels in the bathroom. These are small things easily overcome and I don’t want to detract from the overall charm of this quaint and cozy mountain getaway. Bonus points for having the same style dishes as my childhood home! A cabin in the woods will always win out for me over a hotel room and this was a great value for a lovely little home. 4 1/2 stars.

I had to communicate with the host over a few of my own planning issues and they were quick to respond and easy to work with. My mother in law and brother in law stayed with us and all agreed it was a great deal. I hope to be booking again in the future!
10.0
This cottage is very cozy for any small group or family. A nice respite away--but not too distant--from Asheville. Wish we had more time to explore the trails nearby. Instead, we enjoyed socializing in the living room and out on the porch. What's more, the owner and his family are really charming folks. Very happy with our stay.
10.0
We were secluded enough for privacy but not far from anything we wanted to do. Much better then a hotel stay. The entire process was very simple. I would stay there again.

I wanted a secluded spot but with easy access to Asheville by car. This was perfect. The house has everything you need, and was also close to a lot of hiking/outdoor activities in the area.

Vintage Awesomeness in the Mountains!
This property is so quaint, welcoming, and made me feel like a kid again. The mid-century vibe and cozy surroundings were just what we needed after long hikes and trips to Biltmore. Our check in was a piece of cake, and the manager communicated very quickly with us when we had questions or requests. This place is a true hidden gem! Clean, quiet, comfy, and full of great memories for us!

Quiet & Comfortable Getaway Cabin
This cabin was perfect for our family trip. The screened \ covered porch was perfect for relaxing to the sounds of the creek and birds. Property is away from busy roads in a quiet area. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Must Stay!
This is a hidden gem nestled in the mountains with spectacular views and solitude. Yet only takes minutes to the main road to take you wherever you desire. The place was wonderful inside and EXTREMELY clean. I would definitely stay there again.

Cabin close to ashevy
Nice cabin, great screened in porch. Double bed Squeaks Everytime you move when in bed, comfortable but can't move or turn over without everyone in the cabin hearing.
6.0
Good overall, Terrible check-in
When we arrived after 15 hours of travel, the lock box didn’t work and we could not access the key. We could not contact the property manager because of his bad service on his cell phone. It went straight to voicemail over and over. We had to get our kids back in the car and rent a hotel room for 300 dollars at 8:30 at night. The property manager did not get our messages until after 11 that night. The rest of the week was good and we enjoyed the property. We understand that things happen, but also think that communication should have been easier.

We'll be back!
Great location! The cabin was clean. We loved the patio, the screened porch, and the fireplace. Easy to get to hiking trails, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, etc. Our family met up for a non-traditional Thanksgiving and loved every minute. Thank you!

Perfect Getaway!
This was a wonderful cabin! Cleanliness is extremely important to me and it was very clean! The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to stay in and cook if desired. I actually kicked myself for not seeing what all they had prior to going to grocery. Many of the essential non food types of items they already had. The gas grill on the patio wasn’t stellar but was certainly good enough for grilling hot dogs. The front porch and porch swing were amazing and we were able to enjoy that every night. The porch also had cute string lights which made it feel so cozy.
It was a little tricky to find the cabin but I suppose most mountain cabins are! It is a gravel drive to get up to the cabin with a bit of a drop off on one side which was a little scary but I’ve certainly been to cabins before that were much more difficult to navigate to. If I had one complaint (although not a big one) it would be the beds. They weren’t the most cozy, but again, its a cabin not a 5 star hotel. It was about a 25 minute drive to downtown Asheville, about 30 minutes to Black Mountain, and about an hour to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Overall, wonderful place!

Peaceful getaway
Once we found the place (DONT try to find it in the dark as we did), we found it to be a lovely, quiet getaway ! So well stocked, clean and cozy. We didn't want to leave!
I really liked that it was off the beaten path after staying in town for several days and so close to the BR parkway.
We will definitely be returning!
Thanks Red Loft

Great location
The Red Loft Cabin was perfect. Great location (20 min to an hour away from all nearby sites). Property was easy to find, check-in was easy, and it had everything you could need. It was very clean and looked just like the pictures. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. My kids enjoyed playing outside with a friendly neighborhood dog who showed up at the back patio door on two different mornings for breakfast! WiFi worked great. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone who wishes to visit Asheville and hike the trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Fabulous location
This cabin was so clean and cozy-- it was COLD when we arrived but the heat was on and everything was ready for us. We were disappointed that the Blue Ridge parkway was closed for snow/ice-- if it hadn't been closed, this would have been an ideal location for getting on the parkway and accessing lots of nearby hikes. Of course that's not a problem with the cabin but the weather. We ended up at the NC Arboretum which was an easy 20-min drive away with great trails for kids. We loved the perch with patio chairs above the house and the cherry trees in full bloom out front. Would definitely stay here again!!

Spring Break
This place is amazing! So very quiet and peaceful. All you can hear at night is the creek that runs nearby. It was the perfect place to relax after our time seeing some waterfalls and exploring downtown Asheville.

Cozy cottage
What a cute, cozy cottage. You walk into a big screened in porch that is great for evenings for morning coffee or to listen to the sounds of the creeks down the hill. With the massive fireplace when you walk in, to the cute kitchen with all the essentials and the soft towels in the bathroom, this place was really perfect. The beds and seating were a bit firmer but wasn’t too terrible on the back. So quiet at night, so if you are the person that needs to sleep with noise, get one of those sleep apps. My friends and I would most definitely stay again. One of my favorite places out of many that I’ve been in. Oh, and don’t forget the stars at night!!

Cozy cottage
Enjoyed our stay at this little quaint cottage in the woods. I slept like a baby, and it was very homey feeling. I will definitely return sometime.

I don't even know where to begin.
This is the best cabin I have ever had the privelage of staying in. The inside was clean. The location is phenomenal. It is secluded, quiet and peaceful. The screened in front porch was amazing to sit in. I sat there for hours listening to the cicadas and the rain. Out back you have what I am calling a "natural patio" that looks like it came straight out of a movie. If you want a place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, this place is it. If this cabin has availability reserve it. You will not regret it.

Great vacation for my 16th anniversary and my daughter’s birthday
My coordinator, Mike is a great guy and quick response. The house owner is very thoughtfully person to prepared everything that we never think of.. prepare kid’s video, high chair, magazine .. and binoculars for seeing the beautiful sunrise view. If you climb up to the backyard from the trail. Eventually you can see there are setting up two chairs there to stay in the woods. I cannot wait to cisit again this fall.
