The perfect weekend golf getaway at Etowah Valley Golf Club. Convenient to the Golf Club, Sierra Nevada, Ingles, and Blue Ridge Pizza. The sunrises were breathtaking from the back porch each morning. The perfect place for coffee with friends or family.

Beautiful house with great views

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The house is only 25 minutes away from Moonshine Mountain snow tubing which was lots of fun for our kids and the adults. Sierra Nevada brewery is also close by (about 15 minutes) and we enjoyed the back patio there. We really enjoyed our stay!

The minute we drove up to the house we loved it. The scenery and the porch with the rocking chairs, could not be better. The house was very clean and had everything you would want. We stayed for 3 nights but wished we could stay longer. Also getting around to what ever you wanted to do was within 30 minutes. Would stay again. Wonderful host.

This is a lovely house with a truly beautiful view. Our extended family enjoyed sitting out on the upper porch mornings and evenings and even went out at night to enjoy the star-filled dark skies. The kitchen/dining area accommodated our group very well. Thanks to Brad who responded promptly and helpfully to every question, from initial booking until our departure from the property

Cozy cabin with great hosts!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean and cozy. The views were gorgeous and Brad is a great host. He was very approachable and responded quickly to questions. He even provided restaurant recommendations as well as feedback on the different apple orchards. We were there to go apple picking. The house is stocked with items that made our stay more comfortable such as extra towels and blankets. There was even a pack and play, we had our own with us but it was nice that the option was there. Our family would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home and view

We had a lovely stay at this conveniently located home. It is beautifully decorated, spacious, and comfortable. We really enjoyed the mountain view from the balcony. Overall it is a very clean house. The master shower had a little trouble draining. It would be nice if there were some liners for the wastebaskets in the bedrooms and bathrooms. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality!

It was truly magical

The place was amazing. Super clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. There was an abundance of extra towels, pillows and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked multiple meals. The house itself had so much light due to all the windows and we were only 5 minutes away from the nearest gas station and supermarket. We would come back again and again.

Beautiful Home with Gorgeous Mountain View

We were two families with 7 total (4 adults and 3 children age 6-10) and were very comfortable in Brad's home. My favorite part was drinking coffee or a glass of wine on the porch with the gorgeous mountain views. Home was comfortable and well appointed and location was convenient. We were a 20 minute drive from downtown Hendersonville where we dined one night. We also enjoyed apple picking at Grandad's Apples, hiking at Looking Glass Falls, visited the arboretum and a really cool kid friendly brewery called Whistlehop (all around 30 min or less drive from the vacation rental). Really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Amazing views

The porch view on this house looks just like the photos! We loved sitting on the porch in the mornings. One of the girls is going to come back with family. We all would recommend this place! It’s a beautiful place inside as well. It’s located about 20 to 30min from things; which is not bad at all. My only concern which is not the property owners fault at all; getting an Uber to come to the house takes a while and the Uber driver said a lot of Ubers do not hang out around there. So schedule it ahead of time or use the black van service.

Great Family Home!

We stayed here for a quick getaway after Christmas with our 6 children. The eight of us were very comfortable and had plenty of space. The house was exactly what we were looking for and even better than we expected. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! The kitchen was huge and fully stocked, there were plenty of linens and space for everyone and the house was immaculately clean. The home was also in an excellent location to visit downtown Asheville and close to fun activities like snow tubing and gem mining for the little ones. We were a little disappointed that the gas tank was empty in the grill as we’d planned to grill burgers one night, but we improvised! Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely plan to stay here again on our next trip. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us!

Saved our Family vacation!!!

We booked this property last minute after checking into another property that was NOT as advertised, to say the least! This owner was quick to reply to our inquiry. I can not express the relief we felt when we walked into this house. Cleary the owner takes great pride in this home. It was everything we were expecting AND MORE on our vacation to the Pisgah area. The kitchen/dining room was a perfect center focus of the house just like home. We had room for prep, dinner, chatting, AND games! All the bedrooms were super comfortable making all three of our teenagers very happy. The view off the top back porch was beautiful. We were close to all the desired spots! Highly recommend these extras: Bald Rock Heritage Preserve in Greenville County, SC (only 40min drive) for sunrise and Jump Off rock in Laurel Park, NC (20min drive) for sunset!!! This property was perfect and saved our family vacation! Many thanks!
