We had a great stay here! The property and the house is beautiful! We enjoyed fishing and caught several fish. The house had everything we needed and more! We highly recommend staying here.
We had a great weekend at the house. Very relaxing area and quiet. Beautiful land. The pond was great and our kids enjoyed fishing (they caught a few bass and tons of bluegills). The house was in great shape, very clean, and stocked with all the supplies we needed.
We had a wonderful stay. The cabin and property are just as described. The location is perfect for those wanting to bike, hike, shop, eat, or just drive around the mountains. The cabin had everything we needed and more. Highly recommended.
This place is amazing. Hands down the nicest rental property that we have ever done. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make our meals. If we ever stay in the area again, it will definitely be here!
We thoroughly enjoyed out stay, enjoyed the fishing and the fire pit. Chris and Coleen are wonderful to work with. Enjoyed sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs just relaxing.
Fantastic House and wonderful trip. The location was great. The house and all the wonderful amenities were so appreciated. We also loved the porch and looking at the Pond. We will be back for sure!
Amazing property. Tucked away in the woods, yet close to so many rivers, trails, and towns. We used this property as basecamp during a recent fly fishing trip, and it was perfect! Can't wait till or next visit.
Y our home was absolutely awesome!
It was spacious and inviting. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. We used the porch everyday to watch the fish, turtles, and birds. We enjoyed watching the rain while sitting on the porch too. The inside of you home was very open. We are all glad that you shared your home with us and allowed us to spend a great weekend away.
The cabin was very clean and so was the property. The private lake was great for light fishing and the trail around the lake is perfect for a small hike. We would rent this cabin again in a heartbeat. Thanks Colleen!
We had a tremendous time. The house was just as it was advertised. It was new, clean, very well stocked and the setting was superb! Colleen was very responsive and hospitable. We will stay there again when we come back to the Asheville area.
This was our third time staying at this property. We keep coming back because it encompasses everything we are looking for; beautiful & clean home, fully stocked kitchen appliances and the most amazing outdoor space. Plenty of room for our kids and dogs to run and explore. We will be back a fourth time!
Beautiful and serene setting. House was perfect for four adults and a 17 year old who loved the loft! We used the grill, ate lots of meals on the porch, walked our dog around the pond and listened to the frogs on the pond. Kitchen was ample. In house washer and dryer. Beds were comfortable. We had a peaceful time- just what we wanted!
My wife and I had a fabulous, relaxing long weekend at Serenade Shore! Even better than advertised! Suffice to say, we'll be back and hopefully for a longer stay next time:).
Our second visit was just as nice as our first. The cabin is in a great location near all our WNC favorites (DuPont, Pisgah, Brevard, Flat Rock, Hendersonville, Saluda) and has a lovely pond where our son loves practicing his fly fishing. The house is super clean and well stocked, and the owner responsive and friendly. Weâll be back!
We have planned a trip to the Biltmore, and wanted a place that was comfortable and quiet. This was certainly the place to be. Nice location among things we like to do such as shopping, eating, and sightseeing. First time by a pond, and absolutely loved it. Even caught a fish that I let go. We will definitely be back because we want to check out some hidden treasures.
Our 12 night stay was exceptional! High quality furnishings and appliances. Colleen was very responsive to any questions and check in was super easy. The house had everything we needed and was immaculate. We all enjoyed the porch with the peaceful view of the pond, although my husband didnât have much luck fishing. Access to both Brevard and Hendersonville was less than 20 minutes and both towns were charming. We would suggest some sort of anti skid tape/guard for the last step from the loft.
We enjoyed our stay at Serenade Shores. It was close to everything we wanted to do. The house was perfect for us. We did some fishing one evening and caught a 1-pound bass. So, there are fish in the pond. If you want to be close to everything but yet far enough from civilization this is the place to stay.
Great location for a summer getaway - host is excellent with communication and accommodations. Colleen even tried to help us find extra rooms while we were evading hurricane Idilia. She definitely goes above and beyond. Thank you Colleen for everything!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house and the property were beautiful and peaceful. The house was very clean and everything from booking, checking in and checking out were extremely easy. Colleen was very helpful with any questions concerning places to see or great eats nearby. Walking the property and fishing in the pond were the highlights of our stay. We even saw some deer and bunnies on one of our walks. I had a whole itinerary of places to go during our vacation but the house was so peaceful we mostly just stayed in and relaxed!
We have lived in the Asheville area since 2004. We moved here to be close to all the outdoor activities we love! We are mountain bikers and also enjoy hiking the area trails with our two dogs. Colleen is a full-time Realtor and Chris is retired from the YMCA. We have several long-term rental properties and have operated a successful vacation rental, Serenade Cove, since 2008. This is our second vacation rental and the first home we have ever had custom designed and built.
When the opportunity to buy this land was offered to us, we jumped at it! We started construction on the home in 2018 and finished in January 2019. We love this location because it is so close to the outdoor attractions we frequent: Pisgah National Forest, Dupont State Forest, the French Broad and Davidson rivers, and the wonderful downtown areas of Brevard and Hendersonville.
We designed the home to offer two comfortable, identically-sized bedrooms with en-suite baths for couples and families. The loft offers additional sleeping space with a queen-sized platform bed and a foldout Serta loveseat which converts to a full-sized bed (no bar). The gathering space is an open concept kitchen/dining/living area with a vaulted ceiling and stone fireplace. There is also a mud room/laundry room just inside the back door. Two sets of sliding glass doors open onto a large covered deck for enjoying the pond view, listening to the waterfall and breathing the fresh mountain air.
