The Best
This is the best house!! Best for peace and relaxation if that is what you want. If you want fun/interesting things to do, this is a great location to access lots of things to do. This is my 5th stay in Lickskillet, including 2 times this summer and last summer. I love this house for many reasons

Turkeys, cows, and fireflies, oh my!
We loved our stay at this peaceful mountain home! Heather has created such a wonderful home away from home. Comfortably decorated with notes to answer your every question. The hot tub was amazing after long days of exploring western North Carolina. We so enjoyed the valley view. The cows and fireflies were entertaining in the evenings and turkeys dotted the hills in the mornings. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. We had fun with the basement games. The creek was so relaxing! Easy check in and check the out! Would definitely recommend!

I love this property! This is my fourth visit in three years. It is like going home. It is clean, comfortable, and well stocked. As I sat on the front porch swing one evening all I heard were the sounds of “night insects” and the relaxing sound of the little stream

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was very clean when we arrived and Heather was super responsive with any questions. It had plenty of room and the basement had a great assortment of games for the kids to enjoy. The creek made it very relaxing. There were plenty of trails and places to visit close by.

Especially nice for children
Small tidy home in a lovely setting on a rural mountain road. Kids (4 and 5.5) loved playing in the creek and the hot tub and were delighted by the fireflies in the evening. Convenient to the delightful town of Burnsville only 10 minutes away. The dead end road made for a lovely - and safe - walk in the mornings. A nice stay!

Restful Retreat
We absolutely adored this place. It made it hard to leave. So many personal touches. We opted to stay in all weekend after a trip to the Biltmore because we just felt that cozy. The fire stove and hot tub absolutely were our highlights but there’s the creek, record player, and comfy beds. Heather gave us so much peace of mind with well thought out instructions and everything stocked well. We never even needed to contact her. We can’t thank you enough and will definitely want to be back. I totally understand the glowing reviews.

We had a wonderful time visiting this part of North Carolina. It is a lovely all mountain town and after a day out and about it was nice to return to this cozy home with a creek out back, build a camp fire and look at the stars. Very relaxing!

Perfect Getaway
If you're looking for a great location outside of the city then look no further! The house is a 10 of 10, exactly as advertised.... clean, warm, cozy and comfortable home in the country, in a peaceful and quiet area. This home is full of bonus amenities. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and hammock by the creek. It was the perfect location for our Fall getaway. Would definitely stay again!!

Beautiful serene surroundings
Our family had a great time in this adorable, immaculately clean, home. Our days started with coffee on the front porch and concluded with a dip in the hot tub with everything in between including foosball and ping-pong competitions and s’mores by the fire pit. The host was very responsive, accommodating and provided extras throughout the house to make you feel welcome. I would highly recommend this to anyone and hope to return myself.

Absolute Perfection
My husband and I stayed for a long weekend Anniversary trip. The house is close enough to Asheville for activities but far enough away to enjoy quiet relaxation. The property itself is beautiful with the sound of the creek heard all the way to the front porch, where we enjoyed the view of the old barn and cows. The house was meticulously cleaned and the bed linens were heavenly. We had everything we needed and the decor was gorgeous. It literally felt like home away from home. We would definitely stay again!

Relaxing stay!
My husband and I took a week off of work to relax and unwind. We had a great time! The property was easy to locate and access. Exactly as described! We ventured into Burnsville several times and into Asheville one evening for a concert. Otherwise we were happy and more than content at the property! I’m sure it’s beautiful when the leaves are turning 🍁. It was a great escape! Thank you
