Better than we could have imagined!

We highly recommend this cottage! It was very clean and everything that you could want was provided. The listing description is very accurate. We brought our parents along on this vacation and the 3 of them really enjoyed the cottage also. The pavilion was awesome! We grilled supper on the gas grill, ate 'al fresco', lit the stone fireplace, and enjoyed sitting around the fire. We truly hated to leave, but hope to return again.

My husband and I stayed at Stoneybrook the first week in August. We took are motorcycle to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway. the house is not far from the entrance. It is a really nice bike ride up the mountain just getting there. The house is really nice,it is immaculate and very well stocked. a perfect place to stay and enjoy. The outside pavillion was super!.We enjoyed it everyday. We are going back in November with are friends, to visit the Biltmore Estates for Christmas lights. also we booked it for next year. I would highly recommend this cottage. It is truly a home away from home. Thank you Elmer and Ruby for sharing this home to others. Warm Regards, Ed and Shirl from Latrobe Pa.

Wow! Our group of Converse College classmates gets together for our own little reunion twice annually, and this was the first time we rented a house for our gathering. How spoiled we all are now! Terrific food (Early Girl Eatery was superb) and a divine spa visit (cannot recommend Spa Theologie highly enough) in town with this terrific retreat to return to at the end of our days made for one great reunion. This is a property which is obviously treasured: it is beautifully updated, immaculately clean and wonderfully landscaped. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer and visit more. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Watts for so generously sharing this gem with us.

Stoneybrook was a magical secluded haven of rest for our family. The homeowners have not only met, but exceeded every need. The spacious floor plan was great for our group of 8 and so child friendly.
The outdoor pavillion was the perfect place to cozy up to the roaring fire while listening to the rushing stream waters just steps away. What a slice of heaven!
Thank you for the wonderful memories made at Stoneybrook!

We really enjoyed our visit here at Stoneybrook. The house was beautiful, just like the pictures! Oh my goodness, the beds were so comfortable after a long day out site seeing. Our family really enjoyed the outdoor fireplace it was so much fun roasting Marshmellows and using the Grill for dinners. Thank you Elmer & Ruby for opening this home up for others to enjoy. We look forward to returning again and will recommend to all our friends and family.

WE LOVED THIS HOME!!
The home is so clean and the owner's leave nothing to chance. Plenty of towels and wash clothes. Books, movies, magazines....the list goes on and on. We visited the Biltmore Estate during our visit. It was only about a 20 minute drive from the rental house. Thank you, thank you for your attention to detail. We will definetly be coming back!! Oh, and the covered porch area with the fireplace was AWESOME!! We didn't have a chance to use it. But, we would've only had to strike a match. The fireplace was ready with wood waiting.

What an exceptional property! My husband and I have stayed in several VRBO homes across the country, and Stoney Brook far exceeds all the others. For one thing, this house just might be the cleanest one on the planet!! Additionally, the decor is perfect for a mountain retreat, the fully equipped kitchen is terrific, the outdoor pavillion is a wonderful extra, and the quiet, relaxing mountain setting is simply sublime. I had to work several days during my stay there, and it was a pleasure to get back to the peace and quiet of Stoney Brook at the end of those long days!

Thank you, Elmer and Ruby, for creating this very special place and for making it available for others to share.

We stayed at Stoneybrook for Christmas. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas it even had a Christmas tree. We felt so at home here. The house was immaculate. The pavillion was wonderful as was the grounds. We would highly recommend staying here and plan to return ourselves. Thank you Elmer and Ruby.
