Weaverville Cottage: Fishing Pond & Mountain Views

Reviews

• Cozy Little Farmhouse

  5/5

  Our family really enjoyed our stay! It was exactly as described. The beds were comfortable; as we also enjoyed the pond, sunsets on the porch, and Hershey, the donkey. We found him some pears from a tree on the property and he loved them! We look forward to booking the house again, as our daughter attends Mars Hill University and it's only about a 10 mile drive to the school.

• Hurricane Helene stay - hence 4 stars out of 5

  4/5

  We rented this house for two adults during a visit to Weaverville family. What was supposed to be a rainy if somewhat windy stay turned into a long weekend without power, water or cell service while hurricane Helene devastated western NC. But this review is about the house, not the weather. Lovely old house with up to date furnishings. A tiny bit musty until it aired out, after that fine. The bedrooms are a bit odd due to it being an old house, but absolutely fine. Comfortable, many books, lots of kitchenware. I can't speak to anything power driven, such as stove, etc., because the power cut off the first night we were there (again due to Helene, not the house) and of course is still out. The position of the house at the end of the road on a hill was just beautiful. Neighbor donkey was quite enjoyable (he likes carrots). Wonderfully quiet, with forest behind. The full hot tub came in very handy for a water source to flush the commodes as were were marooned until we found out how to get ourselves home with 3 interstates closed due to flood and landslide damage. We will definitely be back once Weaverville and Buncombe County recover from the terrible damage they've suffered. This house stood firm and was a safe haven for us.

  The home was great, the location was awesome and secluded, and the activities and views on

  the property were amazing. The kids loved feeding Hershey the Donkey, fishing in the pond and nights in the hot tub. We would definitely stay here again. Our family loved it and the 4 year old wanted to move here.

• So Relaxing

  5/5

  Our stay was so relaxing. The place was just as pictured and clean. Comfy bed. Loved the quiet location. My husband loved the fishing and I loved the library. We would love to visit again soon and relax in the hot tub. Hershey was great too.

• Paradise in the Mountains!!

  5/5

  We were absolutely thrilled to stay at this home. You get the feeling of being in a beautiful mountain home while still only being 10 minutes from Downtown Weaverville and 16 minutes from Asheville. The site is absolutely spectacular with the most incredible views of the mountains from the front porch. Having the little fishing pond is priceless. I had to work while we were here but my teen kids could still go right outside to do something fun. We caught tons of small fish in the pond and even a big catfish! Hershey, the resident donkey, is sweet as he could be and we absolutely loved him. We saw deer and bears through the kitchen window with the bears picking apples and pears!

  The home is lovely, quaint, and impeccably clean. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with cooking utensils, spices, etc; much more so than many VRBO homes we have stayed in. Bed in the primary was VERY comfortable. Linens and towels were very clean and nice. I will say, the beds in the second bedroom were way too soft for my liking but the kids were OK. My 17 yo slept on the Murphy Bed and it was not the best but passable although calling that a bedroom is a stretch. It’s more of a hallway with doors at both ends. My only real gripe was that there is not somewhere comfortable for a family to sit and watch TV. The room is just rocking chairs and we were uncomfortable; there are really only 2 seats that have a good view. Would DEFINITELY recommend!

  From the Owner: "I love your detailed review. It may be time to update mattresses and you are right the Murphy bedroom is just a bed. I am Glad your kids caught some fish. It certainly varies. Thank you for staying with us."
