We had such a wonderful 3 week stay. The house is beautiful, clean, bright and comfortable. It is stocked with all the essentials, including kitchen cooking essentials, which is so nice. The screen porch is a wonderful spot to sit and relax, day or night, all you hear are the crickets and birds. The outdoor patio is a great place to relax with the fire pit. And of course the hot tub is great to unwind after a day of hiking. We really enjoyed the town of Black Mountain nearby, many cute shops and restaurants.The property is clearly loved and well taken care of by its owners (which unfortunately can't be said for all vacation rentals!). Charles and Virginia were a pleasure to work with. I would 100% recommend Little Bee Woods to friends, family and anyone who wants a comfortable and relaxing vacation.

Quiet, Stunning Retreat

Absolutely incredible stay! This was the perfect peaceful escape — quiet, cozy, and surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. Every morning, we woke up to stunning sunrises and ended the day watching the sky change colors behind the peaks. The space itself was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed to feel right at home.If you’re looking to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature, this is the place. The only sounds you’ll hear are birdsong and the breeze through the trees. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Mountaintop High

Spending a week literally in the clouds and treetops was spectacular. We rested well in the beds. My husband had everything he needed to cook fancy dinners. We bought local coffee beans and enjoyed a French press or full pot each morning. I spent my week close by in Montreat, and my husband and son used the cabin as home base for fishing and bike riding adventures. The owner is just up the hill if you need something but is also very respectful of guest privacy.

Slice of Heaven

This piece of property was amazing! It's even better than the pictures. My husband and I stayed for the weekend with our two dogs and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were even supposed to attend a concert that Saturday night and ended up skipping just so we could enjoy the outdoor space and the perfect weather we were fortunate to have. We are already looking for an open weekend in the fall to return to this wonderful location.

This was the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. Loved the landscaping, front porch and the deck. Nice views. This place was so well stocked w/everything you need and high end quality. Owner kept in touch w/us throughout stay to make sure all good. Going up the mountain to get to cabin was a bit tricky at times but still working on area since the Hurricane so totally understand. IF we come back to this area I will be checking to see if this place is available. Close to many parks, Biltmore and airport.

Book The Stay!

We just got home from a four night stay and already can’t wait to go back! Sipping coffee on the screened in porch, looking at the stars while in the hot tub, and enjoying all the local spots was the perfect way to relax and reconnect. I also booked a massage with the massage therapist the owner suggested and she came to the house and set up the table on the porch. 10/10 experience all around!

Little Bee Woods!

Little Bee Woods was a perfect couple’s get away. The house was so lovely and spacious, we wished we invited more friends to enjoy! The home had everything you needed and more- from espresso machine to hot tub and everything in between. The view was amazing and we were so happy that it was dog friendly. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us!

Anniversary Weekend

A perfect paradise tucked away in the NC mountains. It was spacious, clean and most importantly well stocked with most of the everyday kitchen items. The owner checked up on us several times and made sure all our needs were met. We maintained our privacy throughout the stay. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again.

Quiet, secluded getaway

This property is one of the better ones we've rented for family vacations and it's exactly as advertised. If you're looking for a quiet place to wind down and watch the sunset through the trees from a cozy screened-in porch after exploring the greater Asheville area, then this is for you. The house has everything you need for a comfy stay, including a relaxing hot tub.

Our stay at Little Bee Woods was awesome! I like to cook when I go on getaways and this rental has more than what you need to cook any dish. The place was clean upon arrival and the host was very personable. I would recommend this rental to anyone looking to get away and enjoy the mountains.
