"Was a great quiet stay. Even got to see a black bear. Will look into staying during our next visit."

"We had a very quiet, peaceful two nights at River Retreat. Thoroughly labeled kitchen (and beyond) was well stocked for morning coffees on the beautiful deck overlooking the backyard and river. The beds were comfortable (a rarity) and the space was perfect for four adults. We enjoyed the gentle freeze and sound of the river, so close to town yet private and quiet. Dellene was easy to communicate with and very responsive to our needs."

"The perfect place for a relaxing stay in the NC mountains!"

"Beautiful"

"We had a very enjoyable stay at this home. Had everything we needed and close to everything! Some of our family came by and we enjoyed cooking out on the grill and watching bunnies, white squirrels and chipmunks playing around the yard!! Great place and would definitely go back!!"

"Convenient location for visit to Biltmore House. Good restaurants nearby. Very clean"

"Loved this beautifully retored cottage in the historic district. It is well appointed with all the amenities in the most peaceful setting. Easy commute to restaurants and entertainment. We even saw a mama bear and 4 cubs on the property! Would definitely rent again."

"We had a fantastic time! It is a green oasis in the city close to all attractions! We had a wonderful gas fireplace which came in handy since it got down to the 30’s during our stay. Great comfortable bed! The hosts were extremely attentive and we received sparkling wine and even a birthday cake!! We will be going back in the future !"

"Wonderful place to stay! Centrally located to multille different hikes ans an easy drive to downtown Asheville. The cottage was cozy with all of the amenities needed for a great stay. The best part by far though was the wild life. Being able to show our child siting of turkeys and black bears was an amazing experience. Thank you!"

"Excellent property"

"My partner and I really enjoyed staying at this place for the 2 nights we are in town. Has amazing views and wild life all over. Wild turkeys and cute little bears and racoons (: Highly recommend. Only issue I had that was more of a personal problem because of my height (I'm 6'6") is that I couldn't fit in either beds (they're full size) so if you are tall like me, I'd recommend bringing an airmatress, or what I did was just take out the couch bed and put the cushions together and sleep on them."

"We loved the beautiful house and the hot tub, as well as being so close to Carrier Park and the trails along the river. We definitely plan to stay here again!"

"Extremely relaxing getaway in the hills. Clean house and property."

"My family stayed for the weekend here in May and it is was wonderful! There was plenty of space, we loved hiking, and the lake close by was beautiful. Would definitely stay again!"

"Amber’s property was wonderful. Very clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It was also conveniently located to downtown Hendersonville and a short drive to the wineries. I would definitely stay here again!"

"Very clean and cozy. Very well organized, the host was very helpful. We will be coming back!"

"This was the perfect base camp for a few days of exploring around Asheville and Chimney Rock. We loved coming back to the relax on the front porch or by the stream and were very thankful to be able to add a third night to our original booking. We are in a road trip from Maine to Georgia, and the hot tub also made for a nice way to relax while on the road. As I write this review from a roadside hotel near Atlanta, I miss the quiet babble of the stream…"

"We enjoyed kayaking on the lake. The dock area is a beautiful spot to hang out. The house is small, as others have mentioned, but perfect for two people."

"Great place to stay. Wonderful property owners. Black Mountain was amazing. We'll definitely be back!"

"Good Location for visiting Asheville and surrounding area. Place was clean and had what we needed to relax in the evening. Quiet neighborhood."
