We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nearly Eden. What a beautiful and cozy cabin to get away with the hubby. We just loved waking up, turning on the fireplace, and listening to the wild turkeys, cows, and roosters in the morning. There were so many hiking spots, restaurants, shops, and attractions within a short driving distance, and neigbor next door (who owns the alpacas, chickens and donkey) was just lovely to talk to. He brought us some fresh eggs for breakfast!

Lovely Eden!

My husband and I enjoyed the beautiful view of the mountains from the front porch, and it was special to have our hot beverages in the morning while sitting in the rocking chairs listening to the sounds of nature. We also truly enjoyed the beauty of the cabin.

Everything about this cabin was perfect from the location to the "woodsy cabin" smell! The cabin was so clean upon our arrival and everything was neat and orderly. We cooked our own dinner 2 nights and everything we needed was stocked in the kitchen (except food and condiments, of course) and that made cooking breakfast and dinner a breeze. The view was spectacular and I loved seeing the alpacas every day. The whole rental process was a breeze, so easy and hassle free, I was almost concerned something would go wrong, but it didn't. The only issue I had (and it's a personal preference) is that the water did not get hot enough, maybe the temperature was set lower than I prefer. My husband and I enjoyed our quiet time together, as this past year was a rough one for us, this was the perfect getaway for him and I to focus on each other and get back on track without distractions! We will definitely make this a yearly spot for us!

We really enjoyed the hot tub, clean and comfortable beds, and the location. It was close to down town Asheville which saved on driving time. The neighbor was very nice as we talked to him about his alpacas. The check in and out procedure was easy and we appreciated the in-depth instructions on what was expected of us. We will definitely be coming back.

The view was spectacular. The cabin was tucked away perfectly. Loved the landscape. It was very private and exactly what I wanted. The town was very beautiful and traveling to other near by cities was easy. It was a perfect getaway for my husband and I. I am so glad I chose Nearly Eden and oh my gosh the mountain air. Can't quite put my finger on it but the sweet smells was amazing.

We were very pleased with the rental experience. From start to finish everything was easy and no hassle at all. The pictures did not do the cabin justice as it was beautiful. Don't get me wrong the pictures sold us to the cabin but looking at it in person was stunning. We loved how tidy the cabin was and quaint. It had all the necessary items that you would need and some extras left out for you along with some amazing homemade bread. The jacuzzi was marvelous and tucked away at the rear of the cabin. Defintely a private location with the convenience of having stores nearby for your needs.

My husband and I enjoyed Eden Nest very much! The location was extremely convenient. The cabin itself couldn’t be better! I really appreciated the mix of rustic and modern decor. The owners really put a tremendous amount of attention and thought into every detail of this cabin. We were extremely comfortable during our stay. <br/>We had a very minor plumbing leak and it was taken care of immediately, at no inconvenience to us. <br/>We enjoyed this cabin immensely (over others that we have rented) !!

We enjoyed our week in the Asheville/Black Mountain area. Nearly Eden was in a perfect location to explore the entire area - we walked the town of Black Mountain, explored the Montreat area, toured the Biltmore Estate, and got a good history and overview of Asheville from the Hop On/Hop Off Trolley. We also hiked to the Catawba Falls and drove the Blue Ridge Parkway to Mount Mitchell, Craggy Gardens and Craggy Pinnacle. Nearly Eden was the perfect size cabin for the 2 of us and we enjoyed the view of the mountains from the front porch and the hot tub out back.
Manager response - Response from Greybeard Rentals
Great! Sounds like you really got to explore some of the best spots in the Asheville area -- glad to hear it! Thanks for your feedback and happy to hear that you were pleased with Nearly Eden.

I had such a wonderful time at this property. The management was responsive & professional. The hot tub was cleaned and sealed for our arrival and felt like we were in the middle of the woods. The views were great and there were so many different birds singing. The washer and dryer was a treat. Didn't have to do laundry after getting home from vacation! I would recommend!

It was absolutely wonderful. We loved the fully stocked kitchen and we utilized it all weekend. The view was beautiful and we enjoyed the privacy in the back. We loved the hot tub, especially since the nights got cold. We rafters and hiked to nearby waterfalls in the area. The downtown area in Black Mountain is quaint and lovely with wonderful restaurant.

Looking for a quiet, romantic getaway near Asheville, I spent many many hours searching for the perfect cabin to suit my needs. I'm glad I did, because had I stopped earlier, I would not have discovered Greybeard Rentals. Secluded in a small community in Black Mountain conveniently located minutes from downtown Asheville, Nearly Eden was perfect. Our original plan was to spend our nights in the cabin after long days of hiking and sightseeing. Upon stepping inside, our plan quickly changed. We both quickly agreed that we should take full advantage of this beautiful property. This flawlessly maintained 1-bedroom, 1-bath property provides a perfect balance of rustic styling and modern amentities. Comfortable, private, and reasonably priced, Nearly Eden is the perfect place for an extended vacation or a weekend getaway. The staff at Greybeard Rentals are among the most professional I've ever worked with. From the time I made my payment until the day we checked in, I was provided with constant updates of things to do and places to visit during our stay. <br/><br/>What did I like the most? The fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals without having to bring anything from home. The fireplace kept us warm on chilly mountain nights while inside the cabin. The hot tub kept us warm on the outside. <br/><br/>What could be improved upon? Absolutely nothing. Our stay at Nearly Eden was perfect!<br/><br/>During your stay, be sure to download the mobile app for ideas of what to see and do. We visited Looking Glass Creamery, The Chocolate Fetish, Roots as Fruits, and Dobra Tea. <br/><br/>For all my future visits to Asheville, Greybeard Rentals will be my first stop!

My wife and I spent a phenomenal week at Nearly Eden. The cabin was beautiful and well-equipped, exactly as much space and seclusion as we needed while still being convenient to Black Mountain, Montreat and Asheville. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub but found that the water level kept decreasing- that should looked into, but it might very well have been user error. Would absolutely recommend highly without reservations. I mean, we have no reservations about recommending it, and you should reserve it because it's wonderful.
Manager response - Response from Greybeard Rentals
Sounds like a wonderful time! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for reporting the water will definitely check this out. We're always happy to hear back from guests if there are issues we can resolve to make your stay more you letting us know and hope you come back soon!

Update 8.25 - just received word that a hot tub specialist took care of this issue and it's resolved now. Thanks!

While my husband and I love a nice hotel room, when traveling for more than a few days we crave more space. This cabin has all the comforts of home, and then some. Every room is beautifully furnished, the retro style kitchen a special touch. Loved having coffee on the front porch rocking chairs...watching the fog burn off the mountains every morning... and relaxing in the private hot tub on the back patio each evening. The location is perfect! Such an easy drive... no steep hills or switchbacks to navigate. Less than 10 minutes to downtown Black Mountain and an easy drive to Asheville. Also, booking with Greybeard is a must. From the info filled App to the personal attention (Tina & Renda)...everything was so easy. Just the way a vacation should be! :)

It's rare that you can look online and see something that looks awesome, then actually see the place and it be everything you wanted and more. From the location of the cabin, to cleanliness upon arrival, and interaction with staff, I could not have asked for better service. My wife in now convinced she wants to buy a house in the area.

Nearly Eden was a very comfortable cabin for our stay. My poison ivy kept me out of the hottub, but other than that, it was what we expected, and a little more. Cabin was very clean and quiet, great for out stay. And a loaf of pumpkin bread was waiting upon our arrival. The only oddity was someone's pole building in the front of the cabin. We would happily stay here in the future. Very handy location for exploring the Asheville and Black Mountain areas.

Cabin was exactly as pictured and described. Clean, updated, sophisticated, and cozy. It is on a residential street but tucked away in an acre of woods. Front porch has a bit of a view of the majestic mountains. A peaceful and safe setting. Very convenient location for Asheville, Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking. Had concerns with another rental and Susan from Greybeard Rentals immediately coordinated a move to this lovely cabin. Will happily stay again and rent through Greybeard Rentals.

We had a great experience at Nearly Eden. We were happy with how clean and nice the house was inside. They had everything you could possibly need to cook with or use in the kitchen. The furniture was very nice and clean. The hot tub was great at night even when it was raining. The phone number we were given didn't work and the number on the house was different then our paper work. If we go back to ashville we would def. stay at Nearly Eden again.

We stayed at Nearly Eden for our honeymoon and really enjoyed the experience. The cabin was very clean when we arrived. It was a cozy, fairly secluded spot for our week alone. We loved that the cabin was located close enough (25-30 minutes) to downtown Asheville that it was easy to make the trip over, but far enough that we could get the away-from-it-all feeling when we wanted to. Don't miss out on the hiking opportunities along the Blue Ridge Parkway and in Pisgah National Forest. Our favorite was Looking Glass Rock in Pisgah. And if you love beer like we do, you have to hit up some of Asheville's breweries and beer-focused bars. The Thirsty Monk was our favorite - and if you go to Pisgah to hike, stop by Oskar Blues Brewery in Brevard on your way back.

The cabin is located in the beautiful Black Mountains. It was so peaceful and relaxing, we did not want to leave. Yet it was close to all everything that you needed for your stay. The cabin is fully equip. It has two bedrooms. We spend most of our time on the veranda, in the morning with coffee watching the beautiful sunrises and at night time with a glass of wine listening to the animal sounds.

I was amazed as soon as we pulled in. I like how the cabin is secluded by the woods. Waking up in the morning and having coffee on the front porch was very peaceful. There are close resteraunts in downtown Black Mountain. Asheville is only 15-20 minutes away, depending on traffic. I will definatley recommend this to family and friends. I can not wait to go back.
