This rental is terrific -- clean, quiet, and out in the country but with friendly neighbors. I stayed here while taking part in a workshop at Penland. The location was convenient, just 20 minutes from campus. I'd definitely stay again.
This was a nice place for getting away and unwinding. Like everything in the Smoky Mountains, the route there is windy and curvy. But itâs a quiet small neighborhood once you arrive.
Cozy place, centrally located to great outdoor activities!
Kevin was a fantastic and hospitable host. He made me feel welcome amongst his friends and spent time conversing with me about himself.
The location was beautiful and central to many hikes I had planned; Carvers Gap, Mt Mitchell and Linville Gorge.
The studio apartment itself was everything I needed, a nice bed, warm shower and full kitchen.
I would definitely come back!
I loved it all, everything Kevin has created is thoughtful and well executed. The setting is fantastic and the short drive from Burnsville both beautiful and easiily navigated. Stay here!! Just check with me first, since I will be back and will have first shot at it!!! ;)
Host (Kevin) was nice and very helpful. The property is one well-equipped room on the ground floor with with a galley kitchen and a nice bathroom with a shower. Amenities include on demand hot water, great water pressure, and a washer/ dryer. There is no TV, but wifi is fast and reliable. The property is located in an artistâs community called High Cove which is nestled among beautiful rolling hills. Penland is 15 minutes away. I enjoyed my stay.
I moved to the western NC mountains in late 2017 and spent about a year building a small (green built), efficient house in a beautiful and peaceful area in the Appalachian Mountains. I work for myself as a semi-retired voice actor, and also an active volunteer for multiple organizations. I've traveled a great deal and know what I look for in a good host. I provide the same to my guests.
This is a perfect place to get away. It's simple, comfortable, quiet, requires no-maintenance, connected to hiking trails ... and still only 15 minutes to an hour away from so much to do.
