It was beautiful, with the Fall leaves changing to brown and weather was awesome- it was a blessing to just sit by a fire with nothing going on but roasting marshmallows & smelling the brisket air...."Peaceful & Priceless!"

I want to move into this place! My dream of tiny home living in nature! Just as pictured. Convenient to Asheville and everything else i wanted to see. The firepit at night with wine was the best!

Loved my stay at this place! My only issue was I got there at night and the directions weren’t super clear so I got a little lost without being able to see. There’s a really nice hand drawn map in the welcome book that I wish I could have had when getting to the cabin the first night!
