We had a really nice time staying at this off-grid cabin! It was peaceful and relaxing—exactly what we were looking for. We spent most of our time fishing in the pond right on the property, which was a great way to unwind. The cabin feels secluded and quiet, but it's also only about 15 minutes from Asheville, so it's easy to head into town if you want to explore or grab a bite to eat. A great spot for anyone wanting to disconnect without being too far from everything.

My stay with Rick and Joy was an absolutely wonderful experience. The communication was perfect and Joy was so helpful when I had any questions while I was there. The property is absolutely wonderful if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life. The cabin was so much fun to stay in and rustic in nature with all the fun decorations. My dogs had a wonderful time running around and exploring. The fishing was absolutely great as well. I would recommend anyone that needs to get away from busy life to go here!!!
