The house is lovely! Solidly built, great timber walls and huge picture windows looking out to the hills in the distance. We had a great stay and our hosts were... read more very welcoming. There were nibbles on our arrival and breakfast the next day was delicious and cooked especially for us! The bed is very comfortable and the decorations in the room were authentic and unique pieces of native art. We had a nice walk in the surrounding woods and admired all the goats and llamas in neigbouring fields. It is a rural idyll and highly recommended!

10/13/2019We were looking for a scenic comfortable place to stay for our second anniversary trip in the Ashville area and couldn’t believe how lucky we got. Mike, met us... read more at our car when arriving and made us feel very welcomed. Our room had a comfy cabin feel that walked right out to the most amazing Mountain View. A creek at the side of the house could be heard along with the welcoming of goats and llamas in the fields across from the huge property. Kathy and Mike invited us to sit by the roaring fire while discussing our plans for the next day and sites to go see. The next morning, a scrumptious breakfast was served while viewing the fog lifting off the mountains. The night before our departure we had “Creekside Radio and Fire TV”... fire pit conversations and a plan to return soon. We couldn’t ask for a more enjoyable stay. It wasn’t just a place to sleep but a home of hospitality and making of new friends.
