We loved our time at the house. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly with support for anything we needed during our stay, including great suggestions for local spots to check out. The property is beautiful. It was the perfect place to wind down after a busy holiday season.
Rented for my sister and family during their visit to Hendersonville. Home was beautiful and provided nice views of the area. Very clean and host was very attentive.
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 view, great sunrise.Nice clean houseGames, books.All the amenities of home.Parking on site.If there was a heater on outside porch would have been perfect.
The cabin was very quiet, peaceful, clean, and comfortable. The view was also a nice bonus. Our host communicated very well and everything was perfect. I couldn’t recommend “Inspirational View” more.
My family loved this house! The view was incredible and the house was so comfortable and also perfect for my mom who is in a wheelchair. Could not recommend more and we hope to be back!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home is spacious and comfortable and the porch has a wonderful view that you can anjoy from great rocking chairs.
We booked this location for a writing retreat for our writer's group. We had a blast and spent most of our time out on the back porch, enjoying the view and the rocking chairs!
We absolutely love this home and are lucky enough to stay once a year. Brad is a wonderful host and makes sure everything is perfect for our arrival. Great location, breathtaking view, and very comfortable!
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 home was amazing and the view was absolutely stunning. The host was so attentive and made sure our stay was comfortable. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone who wants a home that contains peace and pure happiness.
The property was beautiful and spacious. Room enough for five adults and four children with room to spare. Loved the deck view and the rockers and the proximity to Pisgah. Will definitely be back.
We celebrated our mom’s 95th birthday in this lovely house overlooking the Blue Ridge mountains. The main floor was easily accessible for my mom with a wonderful walk-in shower. The 2 porches equipped with rockers was a peaceful place to visit. We felt like we were home!
Upon arrival, we were immediately in awe of the view from the front porch of this immaculate property. The home was very clean and nicely appointed with plenty of space. All of the comforts of home, while away from home. This is a great place. You will not be disappointed.
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.
Had a lovely weekend where friends from college gathered. My 1 year old had a great time crawling around the clean floors. Big kitchen, cozy living room, lovely porch with sunrise views. Easy check-in. Close to hiking! I recommend.
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
