Loved our stay

We loved our stay. The only drawback is the drive to the house. Lots of lower income properties affected by hurricane, so a lot of dirt and not so great views. Once at the house, the story is different, beautiful views. The house was clean. Beds were hard but okay to sleep on. Good appliances. Overall great stay

Home base for hurricane relief

My mom and I traveled to WNC to bring supplies and volunteer with Samaritan's purse. The location of this cabin was perfect - very close to Asheville, Black Mountain, and Old Fort.

Perfect spot for our family

This was such a nice escape up the mountain—the views, the peace and quiet—all while still being close enough to explore the surrounding sites. It was the perfect size for our family of four (two young children). We loved this well appointed space—a lovely cabin tucked into a beautiful setting.

Peaceful Anniversary Getaway

This is such a lovely space, perfect for a short anniversary getaway for me and my husband. Well appointed and comfortable, with amazing views. Secluded but close enough to great shopping, dining, and hiking for short excursions or a nice dinner. Would 100% stay again.

Fantastic!

Felt cozy as soon as we arrived and walked in the door. Everything was clean and welcoming. No fuss entry. We had everything we needed and a few extras...like a tea box! Can't beat the view. It's quiet and private but not all alone on the mountain. We'd go again in a minute!

Winter Getaway

Property was exactly as described! Perfect weekend getaway. The road up to the cabin was still well intact after the storm. The surrounding devastation was very apparent but every business we stopped by was so thankful to have customers(tourists) coming back. The cabin itself has a great deck for long range views and the indoor fireplace was perfect for the cold winter nights! Would stay again 10/10

Great Place with Awesome View

This place is a gem. If you’re looking to be off to yourself in nature but with amenities of home this is perfect. So convenient to the Blue Ridge Pkwy, Catawba Falls, Black Mountain, and Asheville. The place was clean and tastefully decorated with an amazing view off the back deck. We’d definitely come back!

Very relaxing stay

This mountain cabin was so nice. Check in was easy and the place was pretty comfortable and well stocked. There's a wood burning stove and a balcony overlooking the mountains. The interior was well designed and up to date. Mattresses were a little firm but that's just personal preference.

Wilderness calls!

Beautifully quiet, dark starry magical skies, birds bring the woods to life at dawn and wildness abounds all around, but weirdly the cabin is just 13 mins from ingles and Starbucks!

Mini Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in North Carolina. We are from Michigan and wanted a break from the cold weather and a change in scenery. While we were visiting we disc golfed and golfed. The home was perfect for what we needed. We were a bit confused because the listing says whole house but you either get the top floor or bottom floor. It's two rentals in one. We had no issues though, the other renters were quiet and the neighborhood was peaceful. For those thinking of staying here, I would highly recommend, just know that the drive up the mountain is a bit scary if you are not used to the incline. The home was perfect!

Pretty...

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is very pretty and has a great kitchen. We were expecting a private residence based on the listing, but this is a split residence - lower unit and upper unit. We were frustrated that this was not clear in the listing. The first bedroom we went to sleep in had dirty sheets! Thankfully there was another bedroom. We let the host know about the cleanliness issues. There was also an empty coke bottle left on the deck. It’s a beautiful home, but with these issues it felt disappointing with how much it costs to rent.

Cozy cabin with beautiful views! We really enjoyed our stay in Swannanoa. Convenient location to Ashville and surrounding towns. If you come in the winter months it is a very steep hill to climb! Comfortable beds and living area. Would recommend for a couple or small family getaway!

Beautiful and cozy! The cottage was very clean and inviting. The price for my 3 day stay was not bad for what was there to utilize. Everything was as it should be, and I am already planning a second trip in the fall to Swannanoa and will reserve this same place, if available!
