Mountain Shadows Cottage

We stayed at the cabin at the end of January for 3 nights. We loved the cabin and the amenities and hope to go back. It is the perfect size for a romantic get away for two. There are two bedrooms but only one bathroom, which could be challenging if traveling with children. The 4 person hot tub and electric fireplace are the best features, along with the fenced in deck and back yard. Two people fit just fine in the hot tub, but any more than that could feel cramped. The kitchen was adequately stocked for meal preparation and was clean and modern. Love the island and the gas stove is a dream to cook on. The neighborhood is peaceful and quite, but no mountain views nor paths or trails to walk. Several houses are near by so this is not a secluded cabin although it is a wooded area. The master bedroom has a queen size bed but it is a platform bed and quite firm. Bathroom had plenty of towels, both for bathing and the hot tub. Roomy shower with adequate water pressure. The dishwasher appeared new but we could not get it to work and ended up hand washing all of the dishes pots and pans we used. We did not see this as a big issue. Fairly new washer and dryer worked well. It would be great if the cabin had a propane grill because the charcoal grill was tricky. A fire pit would have been great but with all of the trees and brush around, I can see why no fire pit. All in all, a comfortable, affordable cabin for 2. Grocery store 10 minutes or so away. Asheville about 40 minutes away and Hendersonville about 25 minutes away. Some of the roads could be tricky if icy. My two wheel drive Jeep did just fine, but snow or ice could have made it very challenging. Road were well plowed and and salted. I wish the listing had mentioned that the fireplace is electric, that the bed was a platform bed with no box spring and very firm and that the deck had some privacy but there were other cabins near by. |
