We had a wonderful week in Burnsville. The house was wonderful and we loved the view from the deck. The house had everything we needed to cook and grill. I highly recommend this house for a family- lots of room to relax. The drive to Asheville wasn’t too far and we really enjoyed the Snapdragon restaurant in Burnsville.

This was a great spot for my wife and I to relax in the hot tub enjoying beautiful mountain views after putting our toddler and baby down. Great location set off in the hills, close to cute town (Burnsville), and near Asheville as well as great hiking.

Beautiful View. Cenral location
This property was in a great location as we had activities planned in several cities around Ashville. There was more than enough room for our family of 5 and the beds were very comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensil/pans as well as spices. There was soap in the showers, kitchen and even laundry detergent by the washer. Hot tub was lovely and the fire pit was nice to sit around in the evenings. The porch has a great view of the mountains and can catch the sun set. We would definately rent this gem again.

We all enjoyed our trip this weekend. The house was immaculate and everything we wanted it to be. The views were spectacular. We were far enough away to feel secluded but close enough to Asheville that it was not a long drive. I highly recommend anyone looking for a stay to come to this house.

Family Christmas
We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked, which was wonderful as we stayed inside for a couple days due to the rain. Hot tub, sauna, and firepit were all amazing! 2 cautions- 1st- the driveway is super scary! It's a hard right switch back, with some moss and broken asphault. Make sure your tires are good and breaks arent warn. 2nd- there's no garbage pick up. If you're going to be there for 5 days, over a holiday and cooking at the house, be aware that you can only leave 2 bags of trash. We had 5 bags of trash and learned once we got there that there was no trash cans and no garbage pick up and if you have 5 or more bags you have to leave $35 cash when you go. We dont travel with cadh, but luckily our kids each got $20 cash for Christmas. So we had to leave $40 and now we have to pay our kids back. All in all, it was a great stay, the house and property was beautiful.

Nice cabin getaway
We enjoyed our time at Carolyn's cottage. The house was very well maintained, clean, and well stocked. We were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was with cooking equipment. There was some issue with the wifi and some lights being out when we arrived (probably from a breaker problem), but this was fixed within 24 hours. The management company was very quick to respond and send out maintenance even on a holiday weekend. My only suggestion- I didn't realize from the listing that the king size bed was located in an open loft without a door. It is still rather private and tucked back away from the stairs (probably 20 ft), but still made it challenging to sleep once other family members were awake. Just something that could have been clarified further. Overall- great stay!

Beautiful house. LACK of maintenance. Musty/moldy smell upon arrival. Also, hot tub didn't work.
So, the house was great. Great views, great location. Also, clean. The musty smell could have been from a refrigerator problem. Either way the problem should have been caught before arrival. Huge problem. The hot tub didn't work. False advertising. So many pictures of a broken hot tub. Leaves were in the water intakes and filter. This was never maintenance before our stay. This was one of the reasons I rented this property and the hot tub jets didn't work. The heat worked. Property in the area without hot tubs go for 50 to 100 dollars less a night. In this situation we didn't get what we paid for. Property management company sends out a lot of pre written information. Several times I respond and ask questions with no response. They also didn't seem to care I was going to leave a bad review. They never responded to that message. I spent pretty nice amount for 3 nights. I ask for a small percentage back for the non working hot tub. And no reply. Shame on them. Let the truth be known. Poor Property management.

We enjoyed our time at the cottage even though the weather didn't quite cooperate. There was plenty to do indoors! We found it very cool that we drove almost 8 hours to find that most of the beer glasses in the cabinet are collected from where we live in Indiana. The hot tub was amazing as well as the firepit. It was also a delight to hear the cows and donkeys in the distance. Would love to visit again!
