What a lovely gem! The peaceful sounds of the river, hanging out by the fire pit, drinking coffee on the deck and of course, the artistically quirky interior - we couldn't have asked for a better place for a getaway. Lyn (and sweet pup Poco) were the consummate hosts - we cannot wait to make a return stay!

Best cabin ever!
Nestled in Asheville, this is the most charming cabin with a killer view of the river. The yard's decked out with these cool totems, adding a unique touch to the vibe. And man, that river's sound? Totally mesmerizing.You'll catch Lyn taking his adorable dog for a walk along the riverside, soaking in the peaceful scene.It's not just a cabin; it's like a chill oasis where you can escape the daily grind and just vibe with nature. Perfect spot for some downtime and soul recharge, you know? My wife and I had an amazing time at this cabin. The best cabins ever!

Amazing Respite
This is an amazing cabin tucked along the river and just a short drive to downtown Asheville. We greatly enjoyed relaxing by the water, the bamboo oasis, and the game room (pool, darts & shuffle board). Can’t wait to return.

A great location with a great owner
This was one of the cleanest and well-stocked VRBO locations we've stayed at. I expect others will recognize VRBO locations that feel a bit dingy or dirty when you arrive, or where the owners have skimped on basic amenities (I'm looking at you, "one roll of hotel toilet paper per bathroom" locations!). This couldn't have been further from the truth with this rental. The cabin was very clean and very well stocked with basic amenities needed for the stay, from dish and hand soap to logs for the indoor stove. The owner, Lyn, was also incredibly helpful. Due to some very strong winds that blew through the area during our stay, we lost internet for the better part of a day (thanks Spectrum). We also lost power around 11 pm one night (which Duke Energy thankfully restored within an hour). Lyn was giving constant updates throughout the outages, and recommended a really nice coffee shop (Filo Pastries) for internet access we needed while the outage was ongoing. We'd definitely stay here again.

Retreat by the River
My husband and I along with our two teenage grandsons spent a glorious Thanksgiving holiday at this property. It is everything that the pictures portray and more. We enjoyed the environs and the cozy cabin which had a well appointed kitchen with plenty of service items. We had only one small request for the host which was fulfilled in under 10 minutes. The game room was almost continually occupied by our teens while we were at the cabin. I had looked at this property many times and only wished I had rented it before on one of our previous trips to Asheville. Don't hesitate to book. Not only does it provide a feeling of seclusion, but you are within easy traveling distance to the restaurants in Asheville and Black Mountain, as well as well positioned to visit other hiking places in the area.

This was our second time staying at this cabin and it was just as amazing as the first time. The owner definitely takes much pride in his property not only on the interior but exterior as well with so many little and big details not to be missed. The added on game room was a big bonus for us this time and was such a great way to spend a day when not out hiking waterfalls. It exceeded our expectations both times and would highly recommend to anyone else thinking of staying here.

This property is so amazing. The view, the porch, the house, the wood carvings, the art, the owner were all so spectacular! I took my daughter and her 2 besties to visit Biltmore for her 16th birthday and we could not have found a better place for us to stay!!! They had so much fun in the creek, the game room, and just walking the property. We saw more beautiful things everytime we looked around. I cannot

Spectacular location, beautiful accomodations with many artistic flourishes inside and out. Literally, about 15 minutes from almost anything one would want to see in Asheville, and within an hour in any direction of the great outdoors visible from Asheville. Host was very welcoming and helpful. A special spot that earns repeat visitors. Can't go wrong unless you'd prefer not to feel spoiled.

Great river cabin!
Comfortable, well-stocked cabin in a quiet neighborhood. We especially enjoyed a glass of wine on the deck and at the fire pits along the river. The eclectic art was a real treat, and we kept discovering new pieces as the weekend went on. We didn’t cook, but if we had, we would have had everything we needed! We will be back!

Nice stay
The house was very nice. In a neighborhood of close by homes. Close to neighborhood main road. Great game room in lower level. Wish they had a king sized bed, but that would be my only change.lovely view of river. Beautifully landscaped with bamboo and local plantings. State park close by for fishing. It wasn’t quite remote enough for us, but we highly recommend this for a well located home with a backyard that makes you feel like you are in the wilderness.

My husband and I have stayed in many VRBO houses through the years and this cabin was the best rental we have ever had. Clean, beautifully decorated with lots of artwork and funky treasures inside and out, porch which overhangs the babbling river (best sleep listening to nature’s music), game room was awesome and Lyn, the owner, was lovely and very helpful.

Special place
We had a wonderful stay at this property. I cannot say enough about the house and the property. Hanging out on the deck overlooking the river and walking down to the river was so peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the geese, ducks, and hawks that visited the river We also enjoyed roasting marshmallows for s'mores at the fire pit. The house is so nice and the artwork is amazing and eclectic. I loved the style. We also really enjoyed the game room. My son loved the shuffle board table, pool, and the dart board. Kitchen is very well equipped. We ate in every meal, and the grocery store is only about 5 minutes away. The property is very close to Asheville, but tucked away in a neighborhood that makes it feel secluded. The owner was very nice and helpful. We hope to stay here again. Again, wonderful place.

R&R
This property was just what we were looking for to experience our first visit to Asheville. It was so close to everything…10 minutes to downtown and 10 minutes to Black Mountain. Perfect to go explore, shop and eat and then come back for some R&R. The cabin was so comfortable and cozy. And Lyn had it well stocked with everything we needed. Not to mention, the art in his place was so great. The game room downstairs was so much fun too! And the views were incredible. We were so busy that we did not get to enjoy one of the three outdoor fire pits but hopefully we will be back to do that another trip!
