Had a wonderful time at the cottage. Close to the Pisgah National Park, we climbed the Fryingpan Mountain Lookout Tower and were able to visit some local breweri

We had a very relaxing stay. Place was great!

The pictures of the property online were outdated. Pond not private, other houses around the water. Property also sits on main highway with a lot of road noise. Description online of property also includes “cook what you catch”; upon arrival rules left for review in home stated “catch and release only”. Pond was also overfished and not fully stocked as described.

If the AC had been working the first night of our stay, my review probably would have been five stars. Alas, when we arrived, the AC wasn't putting out any cold air (we think because someone had put the AC on 60 and the unit may have "frozen"). We had to leave the AC off for that first afternoon and evening, opening up the windows in order to be more comfortable, and because we had the windows open, we were then able to hear the nearby highway noise more easily. We hadn't realized this property is so close to a 4-lane highway (Rt. 280). We thought the traffic would lessen at night, and it did, but there were still trucks going by that woke us up all during that first night. The second day and evening of our visit, the AC was working fine. Due to the AC not working, that first night, there was a really bad musty smell in the upper-floor bedroom. However, we kept the glass doors to that bedroom shut and that lessened the musty odor. Once the AC was working again, that greatly reduced the musty odor of the upstairs bedroom, so much, in fact, that we probably wouldn't have noticed it had the AC been working the day we arrived.

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.
