Hendersonville Vacation Rental cabin

We love the Cabin, It was clean and well decorated, close to many activities. Unfortunally we found the beds to small and the mattres to soft, we couldn't get the hot tub to work properly so we din't enjoyed it. Otherwise we found everything we need to stay confortable. Of course we want to came back in the fall everybody said is the perfect time to go. I love North Carolina.

My wife and kids booked this cabin for a long weekend. Cabin was just as the picture showed - what you can't see from the picture is the road in, which is pretty steep. This house is the 2nd or 3rd up and is very quaint. No yard to play in, and woods were not accessible because of steepness - but it was very nice. The kids and I "hiked" up the rest of the road, which was quite a challenge. Hendersonville is only 10 miles away and we also went to the Biltmore - word to the road weary - GPS unit had us take highway 74-A to Asheville which is only 2 or 3 miles down from the house - if you do not like switchback turns and very curvy roads - DO NOT TAKE this route - go back to I-26. Maps only show a little highway, but it's a real challenge.

Really not much for the kids to do in Hendersonville or the area. They loved the hot tub on the deck and so did the wife and I. On Saturday, we drove over to Lake Lure on the advice of some locals who recommended it for fun time for the kids. The lake has a great swimming area, water slides, and other fun activities for the kids and the towns of Bat Cave and Chimney Rock were fun too. Pull over on side of road and explore the river and rocks - cold water, but fun nonetheless.

Cabin was neat with all basic items needed for cooking - we cooked all dinners at the cabin as it was nice to not have anywhere to go and the family could sit down and eat together, etc. Had a hard time using the DVD player - could not get the tray to open, but satellite TV was nice too. Internet access was a plus to be able to check email and other things to do in area. Owners provided area maps and brochures in small table in main room. Bed and baths were well appointed and the washer/dryer was a plus too. One comment we read was that the driveway was hard for longer wheelbases - this is very true as we drove a 4 door truck - cannot pull into driveway, had to back in everytime. All in all, we had a great time, and the cabin was just as advertised.

On the way to the cabin, if you need something there is a Dollar General in what seems the middle of nowhere. We got our groceries at Ingles and that was a nice store. Shops downtown close at 5pm. Not real close to waterfalls, etc from this cabin. It would be a great place to take your significant other for some quality alone time.

One thing I would add to description is that cabin is only minutes away from Bat Cave, Chimney Rock and Lake Lure!

cabin was very neat and clean. everything in working order. enjoyed the 42'' t.v. with sat. reception. driveway a little tricky for long wheelbase vehicles. hot tub was a wonderful place of refuge after a long day of wandering! we plan to return at different time of year to view fall foilage. plenty of good eating establishments for all tastes.
