We had a wonderful stay. This place was extremely clean and comfortable. Tastefully decorated and situated with a beautiful view. We would definitely stay here again!
We loved the house, especially the view from the back deck. The house had everything we needed and the setting was perfect for visiting Hendersonville, hiking and exploring this beautiful area.
This home is immaculate with a stunning view off the back porch. It was incredibly clean, well stocked with everything you need. It was also very welcoming and comfortable. I stayed here with my daughters before my eldest daughter’s wedding, and we all said we wished we had more time here. It was a wonderful overall experience.
The property was top notch! Everything was super clean & the property was perfect for our trip! We loved the fire pit & swing on the back patio overlooking the mountains. We will definitely be keeping this property in mind when we visit NC again in the future!
We truly enjoyed our stay- I was in town for business and wanted to make a mini family trip out of it and relax a bit. This was a perfect spot to do so. So quiet and peaceful, well laid out, comfortable beds, easy check in and access.
Our company leadership held a retreat in the area and stayed here. The home was inviting and comfortable, and the reality was even better than the listing.
Enjoyed the place, well appointed, new and in great condition. Convenient to Hendersonville and Asheville. Fairly secluded, some road noise, great for a couple or family.
The cabin was centrally located to everything we wanted to do. It was tucked away and quiet. It had all the amenities that we needed and then some. Very responsive hosts. I highly recommend.
The house and location were perfect for us and our four kids. There was not a thing that wasn’t thought of or that we even needed for the fully stocked kitchen, and we cooked all meals at the house except two for the entire week. The location was close to grocery stores and both national forests were such a quick and easy drive. Would definitely stay again! Thank you for hosting!!
We enjoyed an amazing week in this mountain retreat. The house is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is stunning. We enjoyed seeing deer, lots of birds and a bonus of seeing two native white squirrels. There are plenty of opportunities to explore lovely places near by. The Bell’s have thought of everything you needed for a very pleasant stay. We enjoyed the mountain walks with our little dog Daisy. We would be more than happy to return for another visit.
We really enjoyed our stay. House is exactly as described. It was very clean and met all of our needs. We enjoyed coffee on the back deck enjoying the view each morning. Beautiful place to stay.
The property and house was beautiful. The house was very clean and modern with everything needed for a very peaceful and pleasant stay. The weather was great. we really enjoyed everything about our visit.
This house was as good as advertised. The place was clean and well maintained. We spent time in Brevard and Hendersonville and the location of the house was perfect for those outings. We would stay in this place again in the future.
