Romantic Penrose Cabin w/ Pond, Trails & Hot Tub

Great getaway

Great property. Had everything I needed. Hot tub was awesome...Fireplace and feeding the trout in the pond was great. Did some hiking around the property...so quiet and peaceful taking a walk in the woods. Hosts were great to communicate with. Very helpful. Cabin was clean, everything worked...nice appliances...once I figured out the wi-fi setting on my phone it worked great..internet connection was quick...May sound a little strange, but the towels were big and fluffy. I love good towels...short drive to Hendersonville, Brevard, Dupont state forest. Great hide away...If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world, you should come here. Highly recommended...One of the best places I have stayed at. 5 days/nights Definitely a place to come back to. Tom

Peaceful Getaway? YES, IT WAS!

This was glamping at its finest. The cabin and the property had everything you could imagine. The property had a hot tub, a sheltered fireplace, covered deck, two hammocks, and beautiful lighting. The inside was wonderful, too. A dinner table as well as bar seating. Comfortable furniture. Washer and dryer (full size). Lots of kitchen amenities. Plenty of cookware, dinnerware, and silverware. A lot of meal prep basics were included, too, such as salt, pepper, and spices. The bathroom had a huge shower along with plenty of towels. The cabin is storybook charming. It was the perfect place to go to escape the heat in Central Florida in August. The temperatures ranged from about 60 degrees in the early morning to 76 mid-day. Pisgah National Forest is only about 20 minutes away and has beautiful trails with easy hikes to numerous waterfalls. There was a waterfall you could walk behind and another you could slide down into 55-degree water. Even though my husband and I are both in our 60s we slid down Sliding Rock several times. The cabin's owners, Robert and Stefanie, live nearby but they give you your space. Though they respect your privacy, they are quick to respond to any requests. One of the nicest touches is the "s'mores kit" in the kitchen, and the "hike" message made out of kindling down by the fireplace. It's these touches that make the stay even more enjoyable. This cabin is easily our go-to vacation location.

Magical and Excellent Hosts

We are a family of 4 + pup, 13 & 9 yr olds & our Dobie, Mazikeen & stayed for 7 days. We've come nearly every summer for 9 years and stumbled upon Peaceful Getaway. The pictures do not capture the peaceful and magical vibe of their cabin: THE PROPERTY Wow...it is laid out where you want to walk & explore everywhere. There are 2 cozy hammocks in the trees partially downhill in the front where we could sit, look up & see beautiful wooden lanai in the cabin. Further downhill is creek(creek up through woods) fed pond w/ a fountain that you hear in the day, a deck with matching, cozy seating and a pavilion with a beautiful wood burning chimney surrounded by everything you need & more comfortable seating. Across the pond my son, dobie & I discover the seated rope swing that was tied so high up in the trees, my son felt like he was soaring into the treetops... Maz would get quite the work out trying to catch him! Even more magic happens at night when the fireflies come out on the property. The kids loved catching & releasing them. THE CABIN Great layout! Most important to who is reading...It is very clean, beds are especially comfortable (all 4 of us agreed), the matching leather couch & chair w/ ottoman look brand new and you just melt into them. For those who don't have dogs, you would never know they allow them as it is that clean. We loved the super cozy blankets, they were many & everywhere! Hosts made us feel very welcome leaving little gifts w/ notes from wine, candies, a couple eggs in a basket from "the girls", drinks in the fridge, even a welcome basket for the pup. Homemade sugar scrub, white robes hanging by the shower, countless children's books in kids "bear" room, countless games & dvds. The woodwork in the house is beautiful, the kitchen is immaculate, stocked well, organized w/ upgraded appliances...mugs made me smile each morning. My hubby was thankful for the inviting hot tub as his soccer days have caught up w/ him, so he was in that every day. There's also a convenient, wooded, fenced in area for the dog to play, etc. HOSTS Great people! We got to meet Rob, & Stevie, his retriever, in person as he offered to come down to guide us on the hot tub. His wife, Stephanie felt like a long lost friend in our text chats. We had a storm hit & she immediately communicated w/ us that power was out & when to expect it to turn on. That ended up being our fav night as we played charades by candlelight! Truly cant wait to come back.

Truly a peaceful getaway!

This cabin lives up to its name. The location is 15-20 minutes driving distance to town. It is tucked away in the trees gently on the mountain. The owners are close and responsive. Any needs are met within less than 1 hour. You have a large covered well lit fire pit pavilion. A gas stove fireplace in the living room. The cabin is well maintained and has modern appliances. A spacious modern bathroom. An easy to access and use hot tub. A great place to disconnect and rejuvenate. I have recommended to friends and family.
