This was a fantastic stay. The place is as described, clean , beautiful, all amenities in perfect working condition. And at a very affordable rate. It honestly could not be better.
The location is superb- in the lap of beautiful mountains, privacy, seclusion, but with all conveniences just 30 minutes away. Beautiful views of mountains and meadows, fire place, chairs, swing in gazebo. A perfect way to be in commune with beautiful nature.
The hosts were also amazing - Polite, warm hearted, absolutely wonderful in all ways. They showed us around in their garden, and sent us back with loads of wonderful home-grown herbs and vegetables.
Overall - a full 5-star experience. We just cant wait to be back!

Ron and Rachel are absolutely wonderful hosts. So incredibly welcoming. I felt absolutely at home at the cottage and on the property itself. It is very quiet and peaceful. The cottage is so well kept and a magical splendor to stay in! I will be returning very soon!

The cottage was perfect. The artwork and tile work inside were so beautiful and interesting, only to maybe be rivaled by the gorgeous sunrises and garden. The owners were very responsive to questions and loved meeting them and their dog. Their pony was super cute too. Conveniently located to Asheville and all it has to offer as well as hiking trails. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely views and safe. My wife and I were able to disconnect from the business of our daily lives ( it was needed ) and our girls enjoyed the opportunity to pet the pibe and the dog.
Thank you Ron and Rachel !

This was our second stay at the cottage and it was our very first vrbo 8yrs ago. My wife loved it so much that she wanted to go back. Our son who is now 12yrs old got to sled a little bit this time with the snow. My wife got to recreate pictures of him when we first visited when he was 4yrs old. Took the long hike around the property this time as well. Great owners and great property.

This cottage and the surrounding property definitely feel like they are straight out of a fairytale. We did both the hikes on the property and the view is just stunning from up there. The longer hike to the little waterfall is well worth it. We had fun getting to know the pony, the dog, a kitty, and even some friendly donkeys who came up to us as we walked past their paddock and let us pet them. Directly surrounding the cottage is a hammock strung up with a little creek that runs right underneath it, and Ron and Rachel's beautiful gardens in the other direction. It has plenty of little places to sit and enjoy the garden and the stunning mountain views. The inside of the dwelling is so full of enchanting details and is quite cozy and comfy. So much care was obviously taken with the construction of the cottage and with the beautification of each piece of furniture. There was plenty of storage and we found it quite roomy.
Definitely don't pass up the chance to stop by Addison Farms Vineyard, it's only about 15 mins away. It's a breathtaking, real vineyard with rows of vines and incredible 360° mountain views. We did the tasting and bought a few bottles. Also check out grateful roots, a nearby corner store with local goodies and amish meats and cheeses- delicious! The South Slope area of Asheville is also a quick drive away and is our favorite part of Asheville! We loved Green man, Burial, the Funkatorium, and South Slope cheese shop.

Hosts were very responsive if we needed to ask them anything. The cottage is one of a kind and the surrounding property is absolutely beautiful. I plan on going back in the future. Enjoyed the pony and their dog Adora. Very relaxing trip.

We chose the Clearfield Cottage because of it's location near Asheville, peaceful setting, and connections with both art and nature. Ron and Rachel have created a truly enchanting place! Rachel's art and textile work, combined with Ron's musical CDs, make the cottage warm and peaceful! Ron and Rachel are very welcoming! The girls played in the creek and visited with Princess (the Shetland pony) and Adora (the Great Pyrenees). We hiked the path to the waterfall several times. My husband and I relaxed in the gazebo with glasses of wine. Our family cooked several meals which the kitchen easily accommodated. We used the fire pit and made smores on our last day. We easily took trips to Asheville to shop and to Hot Springs to soak in the tubs. Overall, our visit was very special and enabled us to create many family memories! We can't wait to return!

To the adventure seekers, Earth lovers, art enthusiasts, outdoorsy types, indoors-y types (who am I missing?)—do NOT miss this cabin! We came to discover Asheville and do some hiking, and instead found we had to talk ourselves out of actually leaving the cottage! Between the inviting and lush textures, the fun presentation of design and color, the undeniable whimsy of the house’s architecture, and the rustling energy of the surrounding gardens and animals, you will think you’ve entered some magical dimension. Ron and Rachel have crafted something utterly spectacular and placed it in the middle of the sweeping countryside to create a getaway that is unmatched (truly there were times we weren’t sure if we wanted to stare outside at the picturesque landscape, or gaze upon the lovely, painted interpretations of said landscape that adorned the walls).
And to top, it off the cottage visionaries are two incredibly inspired individuals who have a wealth of talents that they share with generosity and warmth.
We managed to squeeze in hiking, local culture, and organic farming education into our 4 day getaway, and - still - none of it felt as good as being swept away into this cottage. Seriously: stay here. This cottage is an absolute knockout. We are sure to return.

We stayed at the cottage the first week of October had a very relaxing time, the trees were just starting to turn. The owners are very nice and helpful. The cottage was well decorated and the bed and linens were very nice. We went up there with our four and half year old son and we all had fun hiking around the property. The doggie was very friendly and great around our son. He enjoyed petting and feeding the pony. Thank you for the wonderful stay and your hospitality.

Four of the most wonderful vacation days we've ever had! Not only in terms of aesthetics, as the cottage is nestled in the mountains with exceptional views, but also because of our hosts, who were as warm, generous and respectful as one could ask. The cottage itself is a masterpiece, unique by the abundance of authentic art, from the beautiful paintings to the detailed floors and shower, even the large window views are spectacular, absolutely amazing. There's access to incredible hiking right outside your door, as well as a beautiful garden maintained by the owners, and a horse and pony to boot! We even strolled into town, which is picturesque, the people are incredibly friendly, just don't forget to wave! Asheville is about a half hour drive, and it's a magnificent trek through some of the most beautiful countryside I've ever seen. I could go on and on. I'm looking forward to planning another trip, I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.

Best welcome we've ever had from a vacation rental. Very helpful and nice. Stayed here 2 nights with my family.
The room was clean and inviting. It felt very comfortable. It was a 1 bedroom suite, so kids can stay in the lower floor, and parents can stay in the master bedroom on the upper floor. Great bedding and design. The sheets, pillow cases and even the ceiling fan, bore hand-painted butterflies, thereby adding a unique character to the rooms. The room has a historic quality to it with walls featuring over 65 years of original oil paintings and giclee reproductions, and floors and ceilings featuring original hand-painted murals, and hand-crafted mosaics. The windows were decked with hand-made silk and cotton patch-work curtains.
We brought some great handmade earrings, giclees and spell-minding music from this place. We also attended the Laff festival with its many exhibitions, fire shows and music concerts in downtown Asheville, just a 20-minute drive from the vacation rental.
Perfectly located with a wall of greenery affording privacy, with large glass windows on the upper and lower floor giving a panoramic view of the mountains. Can't wait to return soon.

My boyfriend and I arrived at this cottage expecting it to be beautiful and already amazing from all the wonderful pictures we looked at ahead of time. When we got there it was so much more then we expected. I do not know what word surpasses amazing but this cottage was that word. It is beautiful inside with so much detail and artwork everywhere you look. The beauty and the peace that this place is filled with is outstanding and unbelievable. Everywhere you look there is something beautiful to see whether inside the cottage or outside. The hosts were so nice and friendly and always making sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay the most enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a nice break from the real world because it is hard to feel as if this is reality when you are staying in the wonderful Clearfield Cottage. In addition it is only 35 minutes from downtown Asheville! If you are an outdoors person this is definitely the place for you and you will not regret it one bit! Everything was clean and perfectly organized when we got there. We would have been completely fine hanging out inside the cottage our whole trip that is how nice and relaxing the place is! There are plenty of hiking trails, mountains, and waterfalls to see that are not too far from this awesome place!! We will be coming back as soon as possible!!!!!! Also, on top of everything the hosts dog, Sparky, was so friendly and nice! Stay at this cottage whenever you have the chance it is soooo worth it!!!!

It was very refreshing walking into the gardens of the property, and standing amid a cozy gazebo, cushioned with comfortable pillows, and a small bridge over-looking a clear, musical stream from the mountains. It felt even more warm, inviting and relaxing, being greeted by the owners of The Cottage. There is a comfortable sitting area outside the backdoor of the cottage, overlooking streams and meadows. Here a downward stairway leads to a clearing right next to the pure mountain stream, where there is an arrangement of grilling for family get-togethers or celebrations with barbecues. In the Cottage, both the living room downstairs, and the bedroom upstairs, feature spell-binding masterpieces - original paintings, as well as giclées. The kitchenette includes a full-size refrigerator; eat in dinner table, crockery and all necessary kitchen-room equipment required for a short stay. The bedroom is equipped with an armoire, TV, and queen-sized bed. The walls and floors of the bedroom and shower show-case, original, hand-painted murals, and hand-crafted mosaics. The lighting in both the living room and the bedroom is excellent!!. This roomy place can easily accommodate a family of four. The living room is equipped with an amazing library of books and magazines for all age-groups. This place is a convenient distance away from nearby hiking trails, scenic view points from the mountains, nearby eateries and restaurants. We are definitely coming back here soon :)

This is a wonderful little place nestled in the mountains west of Asheville in a beautiful valley of farms, cows, pastures, fields. Perfect for two. The pictures accurately depict the ambience of this property. Prepare easy meals in the kitchen. Excellent grocery store 15 minutes away. Asheville is an easy, virtually straight in drive to downtown and art district 35 minutes or so away. I did not note even one store, gas station, etc, in the valley up to the point of the driveway to this property. Animal lovers will enjoy Sparky (dog), Carmel (cat), the horse and pony. Rachel is a wonderful lady and a talented artist. Reward yourself with a visit.

Ok I'm sharing this incredible secret! Only because Ron and Rachel sheared their amazing cottage with us.
This was more then we could have ever imagined. Fantasy,magical,spiritual,peaceful ,total feel good experience.
Cottage...PERFECT,romantic and so so so more then the web can reveal. Rachel's art is a gift from God. The garden is a chapter in a fairy tail book. Ron and Rachel are gracious and very aware of privacy for their guests. ( but really, we wanted to spend time with this awesome couple).
The reason I waited a few days was because I was selfish and afraid that this magical place would book so fast that we could not find an open date. Coming back real Soon!!!!!
Who needs Europe when you have the Clearfield Cottage?????
