This property was beautiful and charming. We had everything we needed for a great stay. We were in a quiet area, just what we needed for a relaxing getaway. Plenty of things to do within driving distance. Just 30 minutes away from the Biltmore, and zipplining was 20 minutes away at Navitat. Property is well maintained and communication was excellent. The property managers went above and beyond.

Very clean, great firepit and they even provided firewood which was unexpected. Host had accidentally given access to our booking to guests staying at their other property, but refunded 10% due to our delay in being able to unpack and get settled. Very apologetic and quickly remedied the problem.

Property was secluded and quiet. Very peaceful, comfortable, and clean. Enjoyed our stay. The cottage is an older rustic building with numerous upgrades, expect just a few imperfections. All in all everything good.
