Nice, but could use a deep cleaning

The description was accuratr and we enjoyed out stay. However, the interior and exterior needs a depp cleaning. Outside, cob webs were everywhere and the furniture was caked in pollen. Its exterior so I would expect some of each (especially pollen during the timing of our stay), but these looked like they had been building up for some time. Inside, especially the upstairs was musty. A ceiling tile in the laundry looks like it is about to fall.

Fun trip with family and friends

Great place. It was relaxing and quiet. Cottage was nice and very peaceful. It's perfect for our stay and located in a great spot. Asheville downtown is about 30 min away from the cottage. Beautiful pond, kids enjoyed fishing and boat ride. Ashley is very kind and helpful. We had a great experience and enjoyed the trip.

Great little get away

The property was very clean. The views were amazing. Sadly I did not catch any trout, but that was because as soon as my bait hit the water I caught a bass or bream.

Beautiful setting and great location

The house sits beautifully between the lake and the pond and is in a perfect location for access to the Brevard, Asheville, or Hendersonville areas. It sets up really well for a family with kids or even two couples traveling together. The kitchen is well stocked too if you decide to cook.

Beautiful property for a family getaway.

Although close to a main thoroughfare, which did not effect us at all. It was quiet, clean and a very nice sized property to enjoy, including a lake and pond for fishing with boats to utilize on the lake. It has a nice deck overlooking the lake to enjoy with friends and family. There's a grill, outdoor games, and is an all around nice place to gather. I will be looking into this property again for future family get togethers.
