Cute cottage

Ideal for two people. Thank you the arrows with the red chair indicating where property was. We arrived at night and wouldn’t have found the cottage without it. Check-in and check-out were seamless. We enjoyed our stay very much. The gift bag was great appreciated.

Manager's Response

Alexandra, thank you so much for your kind review of Country Cottage Getaway! We’re glad to hear the arrows helped you find the cottage easily and that check-in and check-out were seamless. We're so thrilled you enjoyed your time there, and we look forward to your return!

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Secluded and rustic yet close to shopping, dining and local attractions. Absolutely perfect fora couple and their fur babies. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will visit again soon!

Manager's Response

Charles, we're thrilled to hear that Country Cottage Getaway was the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience for you and your fur babies. Thank you so much for sharing your experience—we can't wait for your return!

Second time renting this property. I hit "good" because this little cabin is adequate for the needs of one, but I have experience with other Greybeard properties that are larger and offer more, but of course are more expensive. Good bed, good shower, small kitchen, relaxing back porch and easy to get out onto NC 25 to go up to Asheville or west to DuPont State Forest, etc.

Manager's Response

Brian, thank you for sharing your honest feedback and for choosing to stay with us again! We're glad to hear Country Cottage Getaway suited your needs and that you enjoyed the comfortable bed, relaxing porch, and convenient location. We appreciate your continued trust in us at Greybeard Rentals, and we hope to welcome you back—whether it’s to this spot again or a different home that matches your future needs!

Really a 4.5 stars. I do cook and a couple more kitchen utensils would have helped. The little cabin is packed, but good firm bed and shower. Front and back porches are very good. As a single person, looked for minimalist location convenient to area activities and got it. I will probably use again.

Manager's Response

Brian, thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear that Country Cottage Getaway provided a convenient and comfortable mountain vacation for you. We appreciate you sharing your suggestion on the cooking utensils and will certainly pass that along to the homeowner for consideration. We look forward to hosting you again when you're back in the 828!

The Country Cottage was fabulous! Everything was warm and cozy and exactly what we needed for rest and relaxation. Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary was special, but being at this fabulous cottage made is better. Thank you!! We will certainly visit again and encourage family and friends to visit.

Manager's Response

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary, Lisa! What a beautiful milestone to have reached. We're delighted to hear that Country Cottage Getaway made for the perfect cozy escape. We truly can't thank you enough for the wonderful review and for the recommendation to your loved ones. Hopefully we'll have the chance to host you again for your next special occasion!

I was needing some time to myself along with my fur baby. It can be difficult to find a place where you can bring your dog It was quiet, peaceful, and secluded without door bells. I also felt very safe there. It was close to anything you needed. After the devastion of Hurricane Helene, the local economy had taken a hit and I wanted to help. It was also very cold and I think it could be more appreciated at another time of the year to take advantage of local activities. I especially want to thank Rachel who was my contact while I was there. She was very friendly and helpful, responding to my needs and questions.

Manager's Response

Mira, we're glad you and your fur baby enjoyed some R&R at Country Cottage Getaway and loved the home's private yet convenient location to everything in town. We appreciate you choosing us at Greybeard Rentals and supporting our beloved Asheville area, and we're delighted that our team member Rachael helped make your stay warm and inviting. We hope that we'll get the opportunity to welcome you and your sweet pup back for a visit in the warmer spring or summer months!

We stayed here for our yearly anniversary trip. It was perfect for us and our dog. It was very clean when we checked in. They gave a nice bag with things like soap and trash bags. I paid the extra for the flowers arrangement and it was even better than expected. Everything needed to cook was there. The fridge is a smaller size but had plenty of room for what we needed. There are two nice porches in the front and back to relax on. A grill in the front and a gas fire table in the back. There’s also a fire pit on the one side and chopped wood available which we got a lot of use out of. The cabin is about 30 min from popular spots to visit like down town Asheville, lake Julian, chimney rock and plenty of other hiking trails. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for an active and/or relaxing getaway close to nature

Manager's Response

Happy Anniversary, Christopher! It sounds like you all (including your pup) had an amazing stay at Country Cottage Getaway. We're glad you enjoyed the amenity kit and local flower arrangement in addition to the home's fantastic outdoor spaces and convenient access to Asheville, Chimney Rock, and area hiking trails. We appreciate you reviewing and recommending this home to fellow adventurers, and we welcome the opportunity to host you again in the future!

First impression was how clean everything was. The back porch was the perfect spot to relax. We enjoy being nustled in the woods but a quick drive into town. Will definitely be coming back soon!

It was raining everyday so we weren't able to enjoy the outside as much as we would like and we had to cut our trip short (nothing to do with the cottage or greybeard.) Had we been able to stay the full time and less rain we would have loved it. Definitely recommend.

Manager's Response

Denise, we're so sorry that the rain prevented you from enjoying the outside as much as you would have liked, but we're pleased to hear you loved the home. We appreciate you recommending us at Greybeard to prospective guests, and we hope that we'll get the chance to host you again soon—next time with perfect weather!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the Country Cottage. It is very peaceful and in an ideal location in the south Asheville area. The cottage is very clean and the pictures are very accurate. Greybeard Realty was very responsive to a minor issue. We would recommend this lodging.

Fantastic little cabin for a few nights in asheville or exploring the moutains. About 20 minutes from downtown. Easy driving to hiking. Small but clean and perfect for 1 or 2 people. Very peaceful location. Watch out coming in to the cabin to follow their directions as the turn from the other direction is too tight.

This little cabin in the woods far exceeded my expectations. It's quiet, safe, and secluded with a private gate, but also very close to everything you will want to do in and around Asheville. There are turkeys and a horse on the property and we loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee in the cool mountain morning. And it's pet friendly which is the best part of all. Very clean, tidy, and organized and fitted with everything you need. Can't wait to come back and stay here again! Thank you!

Great little hidden cottage away from the traffic and crowds of downtown. Close to great restaurants, antique stores and downtown Asheville. Very cozy and well appointed. Wonderful touches like a dual control electric blanket and the large Keurig! Felt extremely safe with the gate. Picturesque views, especially the horses in the snow! Lovely cottage!

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY?

The terms of the policy are as stated: Bookings canceled at least 30 days before the start of the stay will receive 100% refund. Bookings canceled at least 14 days before the start of the stay will receive 50% refund.

WHEN IS THE SECURITY DEPOSIT REFUNDED?

Security deposits are returned within 30 days of guest departure.

WHAT IS YOUR PET POLICY AND FEE?

Petite Retreat is specified as "pet friendly," and dogs are allowed. Unfortunately, due to common allergy problems, we cannot allow cats. For the privilege of bringing your dog, there is a minimum charge of $100 nonrefundable fee per pet. A maximum of two dogs is allowed unless you have received special permission from the property manager or homeowner. Any damage that may be caused by your pet during your stay will be paid for out of your security deposit or charged to the credit card we have on file. There is a county-wide leash law in place. When taking your dog outside of a gated area, please ensure that they are on a leash. 

WHAT ARE CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT TIMES?

Check-in time is 4 pm, and check-out time is 10 am. It is important that we adhere to these times, because there is a chance that someone else will be checking out/in before or after you, and we need sufficient time to ready the house for the next renter. If you wish to check in early, there is a $50 early check-in fee that can be added to your reservation. Early check-in is only available if someone is not checking out on the morning of your arrival.

WHERE DO WE CHECK IN/PICK UP KEYS?

Petite Retreat has a keyless entry system. You will receive a unique access code within 3 days of your arrival, allowing you to go straight to the house and check in starting at 4 pm.

WHAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY DURING OUR STAY?

If you are having a medical emergency, dial 911 from the phone in your rental home or cell phone.

We hope that your stay in the area will be relaxing and without incident, but should you need to get in touch with Greybeard, we have someone on call 24 hours a day. Just call our office at 828-669-1072 and select option 1, which will forward to the cell phone of the person on call. Please do not hesitate to call us if something needs immediate attention, but if your question or concern can wait, we ask that you call the office during normal office hours.

WILL THERE BE FIREWOOD AT THE HOUSE? 

This home provides an outdoor fire pit. Firewood is not supplied by Greybeard. Some houses may have a small leftover supply of firewood for renter use; however, it is best to purchase your own small bundle of wood, or Duraflame pressed logs at the local grocery store. Cutting branches, limbs, or trees on the property is strictly prohibited. You can use limbs found on the ground. 

IS WIFI SERVICE INCLUDED WITH MY RENTAL RESERVATION? WILL I HAVE CELL PHONE SERVICE AT MY RENTAL?

Wifi is available at Petite Retreat. Please note that Greybeard Rentals does not guarantee internet connectivity or speed. Each individual homeowner contracts directly with an internet service provider, and due to a variety of reasons, Greybeard does not guarantee service. Our Black Mountain and Asheville offices have wifi service available if needed.

Cell phone service is not guaranteed. You may check with your service provider to see if service is available.
