Re-Set in the country
The cabin was exactly as described with everything you might need to cook with. It's only 4 miles from the highway, but you feel a lot more remote because of the privacy and rustic decor...Hummingbirds, blue berries and porch time. Bryson City and train rides > an hour away. Convenient to Asheville as well. Marie is great host. Highly Recommend.

Secluded and quiet
The Star Haven Lodge was just like the pictures depicted. Loved the creaky floors and hillbilly hot tub. It was cozy! A few of the dishes we used needed rewashing, the outdoor tub needed cleaning before we could use it, and the grill wasn’t cleaned from the previous guests. Otherwise, our stay was great!!

Great stay at the cabin!
What a wonderful stay at the little cabin! Quiet and secluded for perfect coffee and breakfast on the porch. Kitchen has everything you will need to cook in and you’re close enough to Asheville to head into town. Marie is a wonderful host and Princess on the porch to meet us when we checked in was a great touch. Highly recommend this cabin. The updates with AC and washer and dryer are great.
My best friend and I celebrated our birthdays at this lovely cabin. Marie is wonderful and very accommodating, and her Border Collies were a great addition with their occasional visits (bring doggie cookies!) The hummingbirds we’re a joy to watch, it is such a peaceful place and nice getaway.

Nice stay/Lovely host
The property was just as described. Rustic setting and cottage but nicely kept and well furnished. Just about anything you’d need was available. A fun place to stay on the outskirts of Asheville. Near enough, but a very private and peaceful setting. The owl calling at night and the visits by the family border collie were extra special treats. The host was very responsive to any inquires and very nice to work with. We’d definitely stay again!

Adorable,well appointed cabin tucked away in nature under a beautiful sky full of stars
Well off of the beaten path and nestled in the nature. Well cared for, comfortable to live in. Loved Mary's note to "poke around"! I did and found everything you could wish for. It was too chilly to use the porch tub, but what a thoughtful and cool amenity! Take a blanket out and lay under the stars - so beautiful!! We saw the brightest shooting star!

Heaven
This was my first VRBO stay. Everything was exactly as described. My husband and I could not have chosen a better place to spend our anniversary. The weather was a perfect 60 degrees at night so I could sit in the rocking chair on the porch for hours and just take in the forest. It brought a peace to my soul that I haven't had since my father passed earlier this year. I'm so grateful to Marie for this opportunity to just unplug and unwind. I've never had a vacation like this in my life and now I'm addicted.

Marie goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome! The cabin was perfect … had everything we needed and more. It was so peaceful and with minimal internet/cell service it was a great way to disconnect from hectic day to day life and reconnect with yourself, loved ones and the things that matter! The “hillbilly hot tub” was the icing on the cake!

This rustic cabin is just lovely. My daughter and I stayed for the weekend and fell in love with the place, land, and owner. I teased Marie and said I would leave a horrible review so others would not come and it could stay my secret. However the world today needs more pockets of peace. Truthfully, this property offers you that, you feel the stress fading away as you sit on the porch. I already look forward to returning!
