The cabin is well updated and was a very clean for our toddler crawl around on. About 20 minutes to Asheville and the home was cozy and comfortable. The driveway is very steep and all-wheel-drive or 4 x 4 is recommended but we did it in our 2 Wheel Dr. SUV.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and was exactly as described and pictured. The kitchen was well stocked. Our kids loved the firepit. The area was quiet. Would definitely rent again.
Great for visiting family in Gerton. Just some small things that keep the rating from being excellent!

The home was perfect for us! Beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the sun go down over the mountains and sitting by the fire each night. Great experience!
Our stay was so excellent! It was everything we were looking for with a getaway! The house was even better in person then online. It was clean, homey, spacious and so comfortable and we loved how it was pet friendly but never smelled like a pet had been there. It was hard to leave the house because it was so comfortable. We had 1 minor issue with the internet and I emailed the management company and it was resolved immediately. They were super nice about it and resolved the issue. I would recommend this house to anyone whose planning a trip to NC it was great!!
This was a beautiful location and lovely space to spend 2 weeks. We were able to get into town easily and then come back to enjoy the serenity of the mountain.
We had a long weekend in Asheville and the property was great! In between downtown and Chimney Rock, so a great spot. Definitely AWD or 4x4 for the driveway! Property was clean and just as pictured. Fenced yard was a plus. Would stay again!
Despite being a bit of a ride from Asheville, we loved the privacy. The road leading up to the house is steep so it’s best to have a 4WD vehicle. The home is older but has updated kitchen, bathrooms and appliances.

This is such a nice cottage, with all the amenities. We drove down to Chminey Rock and had lunch, and it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The home was just right for us and our dogs. It was very quiet and restful and close enough for a day visit to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. The back yard provided a great space for our dogs to run around and play. We are looking for a place to rent for our sons wedding in the fall and, if available, would love to visit this property again!
The only drawback is that the driveway is steep and mostly gravel, so you really would want to have a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel vehicle to get to the house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at this lovely 2-story cabin tucked away in the Gerton, North Carolina mountains. Spacious layout, kitchen, pet-friendly and very clean. We were quitec close to both Asheville and Hendersonville but the local restaurants didn't disappoint either. The property managers were very attentive and left a treat of supplies for s'mores, which we enjoyed using on the property's firepit.
House was clean. Just have a like it. The decoration were beautiful the way the house was staged was beautiful I would definitely stay there again. The parking area was nice going up to the parking lot and the house. The driveway was very steep but even a regular car can do it if it has either four-wheel-drive or sport mode or gears for going up the mountain I hope the owner read this I wanted to say thank you I had a great birthday. Thank you so much.
We enjoyed our stay at Gerton. This was an excellent choice for us. Three bedrooms (we only used 2) were a good size and comfortable beds. The second floor suite was spacious and yet cozy comfortable. Kitchen counter space was limited but very adequate for our needs. The keyless entry was easy to use and functioned properly. Living area comfortable furniture. Nice sitting area on the deck and large firepit area off the deck was an added plus. Our agent Jen made the check in process simple and seamless. Upon our arrival we discovered the fenced yard had a couple openings that needed repairing so we could use it for our dog. Our agent contacted the property manager and it was addressed immediately and efficiently. We were able to allow our dog to use it and enjoy the large fenced in yard. The only real slightly negative is the size of the shower stalls are quite small. Other than that we loved it.
We are already missing this home - we absolutely loved our stay here. The house was perfect for our family, super comfortable, all the amenities needed. They did a great job preparing the home and we're grateful. Highly recommend this spot - Mark
It was clean, well appointed. Great kitchen had essentials. Yard was small but being fenced ensured our dog safety. Access road extremely steep. Definitely needed 4 wheel drive to use the road. It was close enough to Asheville and Hendersonville. Which we enjoyed exploring
Hickory Nut Hideaway is a lovely home in Gerton, NC. Appreciated that pets are welcome (which was a criteria).
Neighbors were very friendly. Raven Hill Rd was steep and gravely; so the suggestion of having AWD/4WD is most accurate.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy more of the property while there since we were out most of the days in Fletcher helping our daughter and son-in-law with their new home in Fletcher which was a half-hour away.
