We had a great time staying here! Very pretty location and clean accommodations!

The seclusion was awesome. The view of the farm and surrounding mountains and foothills was perfect. 25 minutes to Asheville and only 10 to a scenic drive along the French Broad River. Very clean and cute camper! Perfect for a secluded quiet getaway for 2!

The location was right between Marshall and Hot Springs. We drove up to Max Patch during true day and took a dip in the hot springs at night. Spent a day in near by Asheville. Great location

This was great! Cera provided helpful directions and once I got there I had no problems!

We had a wonderful stay in Kat' home. The home has a very easy access from the highway and on the other hand is completely quiet neighborhood (some times in the morning you can see a group of bambi's in the backyard). Asheville, Wolf Ski Center and Walmart are near by (less than 20min) if you want to stay for a long time. Besides Kat was very flexible allowing as to add some extra guest in the house.

Read amenities carefully. No TV, microwave, or a/c. We did not need a/c but if it rained you would have to close windows and it may get uncomfortable. No nice restaurants close by. Great view, peaceful, wifi works well. Great icemaker! This is the perfect place if you want to get away and read. There are many many books to choose from.

Had a great weekend with my daughter at Kat's place. Very convenient to activities in and around Marshal, Mars Hill and Barnardsville. The place is quiet and rustic yet near enough to town to get whatever you need. (Ingles, CVS and a few restaurants are all just a few miles away) If you are looking for a country get away with an environmentally friendly and earth-conscious vibe - this is the place for you!

The drive up there was beautiful, the neighborhood is quiet, and the house is comfy. Definitely not a bad choice.

Clean, peaceful house. Since I have sensitivity to emf sources, it was great that there was not wireless & I did not need to request router be turned off at night. Good cell phone signal.

From the moment we first booked our stay with Kimberly, the communication process was detailed and professional. She was there to patiently greet us and introduce us to the abundance of nature that surrounds her property. Here home was clean, comfortable, and provided just the right amount of rest & relaxation we were hoping for on this trip....while at the same time being close to downtown Asheville (less than 20 minutes) for lively adventure. She respects your privacy, but is available if you need assistance or have questions. I have since recommended her place to a couple of friends, and will not hesitate to book with her again in the future. We learned a thing or two about homesteading and homeopathy which is wisdom one can't put a price tag on. Notes: While the driveway is steep, we were able to drive a small Kia minivan up to the top without a problem. Bring hiking boots or shoes you don't mind getting dirty so you can enjoy the gardens, animals, and hiking. Our GPS initially led us to the wrong house and the owner of that home told us it happens quite a bit out there. So make sure you check a map or get directions from Kimberly that will take you to her door - especially if you are arriving after dark. Check out the Navitat zipline experience which is about 15 minutes away -- tons of fun!

Although I did not get to meet Kimberly, her home was definitely a comfortable home away from my own. I appreciate your hospitality.

The mountain home is on a beautiful hilltop with views from every room. Birds, bunnies and cute goats add to the scenery. Our family was in Asheville for a family wedding. This home was close to the farm where the wedding was and was a perfect peaceful spot to relax between the festivities. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Kimberly is a wonderful host.

Our host made us feel very welcome and this was a great location for us between Wolf Laurel and Asheville. Kimberly was very accessible and quickly answered our questions. My children loved feeding the bunnies and hanging out with Kiki the cat, who was very good with them.

Awesome host! Sweet place close to town. I loved feeding the animals and the neighbors were super helpful and open to our presence. Great place to lay your head and hike hike hike! The driveway is easy to drive up if you know how to drive up hills and (I made it up in a 2 wheel drive mini van) I highly recommend it for ashville adventurers (fun fact: it is very close to windy gap a young life camp!)

It was very peaceful there. I enjoyed the hummingbirds in the morning, as well as the gracious offerings from the garden. The driveway into the home is indeed challenging and got worse every day from rain showers. I was so relieved when I didn't have to drive on it anymore. I imagine all the rentals in the area have similar challenges. Kimberly has such a way with decorating and makes excellent use of her space.

Kimberly was a very attentive and warm host. We loved her cozy cottage on the hill and would love to come back. The bedrooms were clean and everything we needed was present in the house manual left on the kitchen table. She was very quick to respond to my questions via text and we enjoyed our weekend very much.

The house was ready for us at the promised time and it was cleaned for our stay. The accommodations were just as described in the listing. It's very easy to get to for being so private, only about ten minutes drive from the interstate. Very convenient to get to downtown Asheville. It would be a great place to go if you wanted a quiet weekend with plenty of privacy. Also, it's very good for cooks. The kitchen is fully stocked in terms of pantry goods, spices (lots!), and cookware. Kimberly was a very responsive host also, there was a problem with the Wi-Fi when we arrived and she fixed it right away. I didn't spend any time with the rabbits or goats but I'm sure that would be a cool experience if that's your thing. The outdoor garden is generously planted with lots of good herbs and veggies and Kimberly is very gracious about sharing, we had a delicious green salad as fresh as you can ever find. The driveway can be challenging for timid drivers, and would likely be impassable in snowy or muddy conditions without 4 wheel drive. All in all we had a wonderful stay and world definitely go back! It would be ideal for two couples looking for a relaxing weekend.

Ken was a wonderful host! The house was clean, quiet, and comfortable. It was just what the dogs and I were looking for. Thanks so much for having us.

He had secure lock on door with a code to enter and exit. Small dogs but they were quiet and calm, just like the owner. It's very convenient to town and not far from the highway, but far enough to not hear highway noise. The price was right for providing the basics, which was what I wanted. I was injured , not on the property, but elsewhere and he was very helpful, going above and beyond what was necessary. Thank you, Ken.

It was a simple room as described. Ken and his dog Opal were friendly hosts. Surrounding area was quiet and beautiful.

Ken was very welcoming and was able to accommodate us on short notice! We also loved Ken's dog Opal, who was very friendly. The house is in a beautiful spot in Mars Hill, with a nice big yard that our pup loved running around in.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Ken Forgie. This was our first AirBnB experience and we were not sure what to expect. Ken was wonderful and made everything so easy and relaxed for us. We were originally set to stay with Ken for a week, after which we had reservations for a second week at a hotel in Asheville. As our week with Ken drew to a close, we realized that we would rather stay on with him for the second week rather than in a hotel. Luckily, he was able to accommodate us, so we ended up staying with Ken for our entire two weeks in the Asheville area. Ken's home, including the room offered on AirBnB, was neat, clean, and clutter free. It was quiet and relaxing, which we really appreciated when we returned home in the evenings after spending hours working outside on our own rural, undeveloped property. We traveled with our two small chihuahuas, which Ken happily allowed on the premises. His own chihuahua, Opal, is a sweet little old lady, and she gets along with everyone. We enjoyed the conversations we had with Ken (he is a very interesting person) but I know if we had simply wanted to keep to ourselves during our stay Ken would have honored that desire as well. We were able to cook meals in his kitchen, and we also had use of his refrigerator, washer, and dryer during our stay. We are preparing our property in the greater Asheville area to begin construction of our retirement home this coming spring/summer. So far we have gotten to know just a few people in the area well enough to consider them friends. We are thankful for having met Ken, and we are pleased to have become friends with him through AirBnB. We trust you have an equally positive experience when you stay with Ken. We were almost disappointed when it was time to leave Ken and return to our home in Ohio.

Thank you Ken! That was perfect. I felt very much at home and was able to relax and enjoy my time. And Suki was an added bonus. I look forward to staying again.

Ken was a wonderful and accommoding host. Easy to talk to and friendly The house and our room were spotless and comfortable. Excellent coffee on hand was a great bonus. Ken opened his home and kitchen to us and joined us for a meal out. Highly recommended.

Most hospitable.

Yvonne's place was amazing! She and her husband are both such nice people and Yvonne was extremely responsive and helpful. I booked the meadow but they actually allowed me to stay up at "Edens Garden" since no one else had booked it that weekend. It was very private, had lots of tree coverage, a platform for the tent, a fire ring, picnic table, and they even had a solar shower set up. I'm sure the meadow would have been just as amazing though. The property is remote, quiet, and gorgeous. The horse and goats are extremely friendly and greet you on the way up (but don't go to the camp site). I definitely recommend this spot! :-)

Mary's place is in a quiet country setting. Plenty of room for three couples. Very clean. Mary was very kind. For those who are allergic to pets, this is a good place, pets are not allowed.

The house was clean, quiet and comfortable, but you don't have control of the air(the house's temperature was fine anyway) .

Great and quite time!

House was very clean and spacious! Very clean. The only thing that I would mention is that it was a warm inside the house and you don't have control of the air. Also, it's not listed that she lives below the unit and can walk in at any time.

Very accommodating and clean. Great stay

We spent Wednesday through Sunday of our son's wedding week at the Colorful Cottage. It is lovely, scenic, and so close to the wedding venue, Yesterday Spaces. April and her family accommodated our needs in every possible way, even finding a second property when we needed more space. I give ithe Colorful Cottage my highest recommendation for a mountain getaway, and especially for any event at Yesterday Spaces on Sluder Branch Road.

If you're looking for a lovely place to stay close to Asheville then this is your spot! Lovely cottage, beautiful views, great location and a short drive to downtown Asheville. The inside is decorated beautifully with an updated interior and modern appliances. The porch is the perfect spot to soak up some fresh mountain air. You can't go wrong with this place.

This house is adorable! I would definitely recommend it and we will be back. Everything was clean and the decor is beautiful. A great place for an Asheville getaway!

The home was peaceful, very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. April was also very quick at responding to any questions I had. My friend was getting married at Yesterdays Spaces and this was only a 5 minute drive away so perfect location for that. The drive there is gorgeous with rolling hills, farms, and winding roads. If you're looking to be going in and out of Asheville though, I recommend staying closer to town.

Real river Living

We had a wonderful stay at IvyRiverLodge 2! Patrick and Mari were wonderful and went above and beyond as hosts. Mari brought us fresh eggs and Patrick drew us a map on how to get to great hiking trails in the area, and even helped us with starting a campfire. The cabin is perfect for 2-3 people, and their property is great and only a short drive from Asheville. Thank you both!

The cabins are a wonderful escape!! The hosts were very gracious and made sure we felt welcome! This is a great place to get out of the crazy pace of life. Step out of stress and into a relaxing little get away!! I will definitely recommend this to anyone coming to the area!!

The cabin was lovely. The setting couldn't have been nicer. It was a bit like a wonderland, with the unique design elements in the cabin and the babbling brook just outside. The hosts were extremely helpful. Nearby town of Weaverville was a very pleasant surprise. Minor (fixable) downsides: there's a pump outside the cabin that's noisy enough to block out the sound of the babbling brook. It would be great if it could be turned off in the evening and early morning - i wanted to go to sleep and wake up to the natural sounds. The fridge is noisy enough to do the same. The internet was unreliable.

Exactly what I was looking for! A cabin in the woods located along a babbling river. The drive to the property is beautiful & fun crossing over the wooden bridge. The host/hostess, Patrick and Mari have put alot of thought and love into making the accomodations attractive, comfy and equipped with everything - down to a hair dryer and Qtips in the bathroom! Patrick was friendly, gave us many great suggestions for resturants and things to do in the area. The location was centrally located to surrounding towns. We would love to return for the fall foliage. Thank you so much!

A beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting close to Ashville, the BlueRidge Parkway and national forests. Plenty of opportunity for hiking and other outdoor adventures very close by. Quiet, comfy and clean with a well-stocked kitchen and eco friendly products. The host, Patrick was friendly, gave great tips for local hikes, and answered any questions we had.

My fiance and I had a wonderful time at Patrick and Mari's place. Upon arrival, we called Mari and see gave us all the necessary information for check in and directions. The cabin itself looks beautiful in person. The custom designing done with the fireplace, kitchen appliances, and wooden finish really pops out at you once entering the cabin. The cabin offers a very warm fireplace, dishes necessary to cook meals, blender for smoothies, views of the nearby river, outdoor fireplace, and much more. Overall, my fiance and I had a blast for our weekend getaway. Would definitely recommend Patrick and Mari's cabins for an Greater Asheville Area (20 minutes from Downtown) for a couples getaway.

Ivy River Lodge was even more than we hoped for! As was mentioned in earlier reviews, we were glad we arrived before dark but the drive in was simple and no problem after the first time. The cabin was absolutely lovely - very cozy and charming. The river stone fireplace is beautiful and kept the place warm while the bed was unbelievably comfortable. Sleeping with the window open to hear the babbling brook was an unexpected treat. Patrick was very welcoming and quick to respond to any texts and suggesting hiking trails. We were impressed with the entire set up; the outdoor grills and fire pit alongside a little lake would make a perfect summer getaway for a group of people. We look forward to returning in warmer weather so we can take advantage of all of it. This is the perfect place to get away from it all while still being close to town and have plenty to do.

The host was very sweet and wanted to make your stay feel comfortable and enjoyable! It was great getting to know them and I loved my visit!

Place is perfect and nothing less. The cabin was comfortable, relaxing and clean. Susie went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. She had great recommendations and helped us with questions about the area. If you love outdoors, hiking or being secluded this place is perfect for it. I cannot express how great and perfect my experience was staying with Susie. Definitely recommend and if you don't stay here, you are wrong. Cats were super friendly as well. -Sonia

Susie is a wonderful host and her place is so quaint and cute. The cabin has one bed and a sleeper couch/fouton - my brother and I shared the space comfortably. There's a small porch near a tiny Creek that makes the whole thing picturesque. Susie set out some breakfast and coffee each morning and set up a fire for us near our cabin to light on our first night. Mars Hill is tiny and secluded. It's a solid drive into Asheville - but a great place to stay if you want to explore that area of NC! Thanks Susie!

Susie's cabin sits next to a stream in the middle of the most lush yard and I couldn't recommend more. We loved watching the birds and sitting on the porch in the morning with our coffee (compliments of Susie). Susie's hospitality was sincere and thoughtful. We cannot wait for another visit.

Susie was welcoming, kind and a great resource for local information and history. We stayed in the main house but toured all of the lodging options. If anything, the description fails to show just how cute this property is! The bathroom and kitchen were fully stocked, but Susie lives on the grounds (along with three very friendly cats) and is available for whatever you might need. It is a short easy drive to Asheville and surrounding sites. If you're traveling for business or fun, consider this place!

A friend and I stayed at Susie's place for a couple of days over Fourth of July weekend. Susie is very friendly and interested in meeting visitors but also gave us lots of privacy. The accommodations were excellent. The studio apartment is attached to the house through a closed door in the bathroom but was still very private. It had everything in the listing plus much more. The king sized bed is a medium/soft pillow top and super comfortable (I have a bad back and am very picky about beds when traveling). She had extra blankets if needed. The apartment also has a large couch, free wifi, stereo system, and soap and fresh towels in the bathroom. The private kitchen has a full sized fridge and freezer, crock pot, stovetop and oven, toaster oven, (probably more appliances that I'm forgetting) and everything else you'd need to cook and eat. She also stocked the kitchen with goodies like cereal, sausage, eggs, juice, toast, milk, apples, a variety of spices and other staples. The bed area, kitchen, and bathroom have doors between them in case one guest is sleeping and the other is cooking. We went on a lovely hike near her home at her suggestion and met some friendly neighbors along the way who told us about other local hiking areas. We had come to visit Asheville, and although she is in the countryside, the city was not too far (half an hour). All in all, we had a great time, and would have extended our stay there if our jobs allowed. This was my first Airbnb experience and I found it to be far more comfortable than a hotel and really more like a home away from home. We are glad to have found Susie's place and would definitely recommend it to anyone. As a side note, she also recently renovated a small cabin on the premises. I am not sure what it will rent for, but presumably both could be rented at the same time for extra sleeping space.

We rented the Glamping Cabin, which we highly recommend. It's an old blacksmith's workshop. It's been very well renovated. We were warm and everything was clean - no humidity or creepy-crawlies. It's small - especially as there were 3 of us. But we really enjoyed it, as it was a new and unusual experience. We would do it again. The facilities are great. The bathroom is clean and has everything you need. The hosts offer more than enough food for breakfast : pastries, hot drinks, juice, fruit, cereal bars... The wifi works well too. The house where all these facilities are is a century-old wooden cabin, which adds to the charm of the place. The setting is beautiful. It's quiet and remote, despite being super close to the highway. We loved the whole atmosphere surrounding the place, it was great to escape the city. The hosts themselves are really nice and helpful. They were welcoming, made us feel at home, and were always available if we needed anything. We only have positive things to say about this place.

This precious cabin was exactly as it appears! It was so cozy, with a little heater inside that did the trick on a chilly night. The hostess was in frequent contact to make sure we arrived safely and made arrangements for us to have access when we arrived, along with leaving some refreshments for us in the common room. We settled in and Suzie (who was very accommodating) met us to make sure we knew where everything was, and provided us with extra blankets and flashlights. We had fun visiting and finding out that we had some mutual friends. She offered to take us on a "truck tour" up the mountain to the butterfly sanctuary and to see the views under the full moon. Jerry had a fire built for us on the deck when we came back from dinner and we enjoyed the quiet evening next to the little stream. There was lots of hiking nearby and it's close enough to almost everything that a short drive could get you to whatever you wanted to do! We also enjoyed Blackberry, PJ and Kramer - the cats who will love you if you love them - or leave you alone if you ignore them! We would highly recommend this glamping experience to anyone who enjoys quiet settings, comfortable hosts, and fresh air.

This house is very small but affordable. Best for one person. Had a beautiful deck with a great view. Parking was extremely difficult. We knew we would share the bathroom with the host which was ok but then she invited a male friend to stay there too which was awkward. We were only given one towel for a weeks stay. The shower did not drain and we were standing in ankle deep water by the end. We were not offered any soap, shampoo etc. We were never welcomed to enjoy the common areas of the house so had no access to tv or kitchen. We did put a few water bottles and apples in the fridge. We got back one night at 10 pm and were going between our room and the bathroom only whispering. The host came out and hushed us stating she had to get up early the next day. We were not being loud and never were as we always felt as if we needed to stay in our room and only whisper. I don't think this is the best house or best person to be hosting an airbnb. With just one bathroom it is difficult and with a host that needs so much quiet it is difficult to feel comfortable at any time. I also think if she knew she was having a friend stay, then she should not have had her house available or told her friend she had renters and he could not come.

We enjoyed our stay at Jamie's home in Weaverville. While we never met her in person, she was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The bed was comfortable and the room looks over the lovely backyard. The house is situated on a quiet street and is a short drive to downtown Weaverville. Driving to Asheville was closer than we expected, which was also a plus.

The Hummingbird hill is a perfect little mountain view oasis near the heart of Asheville. Its only about a 10 minute drive from the Asheville exit and about a mile from the cute old town of Weaverville. Everything about the place, made it such a lovely stay. The hime is very tranquil with majestic views from the back porch. I even saw a little bunny down the hill. The home is very clean and the bed is comfy. Patrick is a super friendly host and he has an adorable sweet Spaniel. Plus, you can't beat the price for a place in this area. I give it five stars!! I may just have to move in.

Location is an easy drive to Asheville with Weaverville's downtown minutes away. The host, Jamie, is very friendly and hospitable. I'd recommend checking in during daylight hours as it's a little difficult to see the driveway at night the first time. Jamie was very helpful with this as well.

Good price and sweet dog.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay in Jamie's home! The house was clean and cozy, and our bedroom was very comfortable. The drive to downtown Asheville was easy, and it was so nice to come back to the house after a long day out and enjoy the natural surroundings on the back porch. Jamie was not at the house, but she was communicative and made sure our stay was going well. We truly felt at home and recharged after our visit :) Thanks again Jamie!

Great, knowledgeable hosts! Asheville was great!

Such a great place to stay! Jamie was extremely nice, and it was really clean. The bed was also extremely comfortable. If I ever have to come back to this area I would definitely want to stay there again.

Stayed for two months at Eric's place in Weaverville, and it was such a pleasant experience the entire time. Eric is a wonderful host - he goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay is comfortable, but provides you with space and privacy. The house was perfect for my needs while staying in the Asheville area. It is close enough to Asheville for a quick trip, but is far enough away that you are removed from the city hustle and bustle. The house is tucked back in the woods behind a beautiful older church, and the area is so quiet and peaceful. Also, I felt very safe in the home as well. If you have dogs, this is a great spot to stay with lots of land for them to explore. The home itself is well equipped and has everything you would need to live comfortably. Last but not least - Eric's place is very affordable compared to all the outrageously priced rentals in the Asheville area. All in all, staying at Eric's was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to others.

It was a lovely secluded retreat within minutes to everything.

Eric is a great host! Everything about our stay was perfect! The house was super clean (I must tell, we airbnb a lot, and Eric's house is the cleanest we've ever stayed at!). The location is very convenient, close to Asheville downtown and Blue Ridge Pkwy. Flexible checkout time was also greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Great location and a wonderful host. Everything was just as described. Easy drive into Asheville and close to some great hiking. Eric had everything set up perfectly for us! Highly recommend staying here.

Our stay was great. The house was nice with a scenic road and close to Asheville. Our dog loved it!

Eric's home is located in a perfect spot just outside of downtown Asheville. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Perfect for anyone traveling with a dog!

Eric is very nice and his house feels peaceful and calm. He was available by phone and email the few times I needed him. Even though he lives "up the street" he gave us privacy, which we appreciated. The bathroom and kitchen were well equipped. And, we loved that it had a washer/dryer. It's a great little house in a private location for anyone looking to get away.

The place was very clean and a convenient location, great for dogs. Close to hiking trails and restaurants and Weaverville and just a short drive to Asheville. Impressed with the town of Weaverville, small downtown with amazing bakery and sweet parks to walk the dogs.
