COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS

"We are so relaxed! Your cottage was the most comfortable, warm, & refreshing vacation getaway we have ever been to. The accommodations in the bathroom, kitchen, & bedroom (not to mention the fabulous hot tub) were absolutely delightful. We think everyone needs a little Gingerbread in their lives."

"We really enjoyed ringing in the new year in your lovely cottage in the woods! Felt very private and the views are gorgeous... just what we wanted for some time away. The knotty pine against the stone fireplace makes for a great rustic mountain retreat while the nice touches like the hot tub add a sense of luxury. Loved reading in the sitting area of the violet room & seeing the sun filter through the ivy-covered windows. We hope to make a tradition of this" ---Amy, Tom & Sophie (our dog)

"The Gingerbread COttage is everything we hoped for and more. We loved the inviting atmosphere of the cottage when we got here. The lights on, the music, fans. All very welcoming. The Irish Cream coffee and the chocolates on the beds added a charming touch. The decor is perfect!" -The McKinney's -South Carolina

"What an amazing weekend retreat! White Rhododendrons, pink Azaleas, Ivy claiming the landscape as it's own, tall majestic Pin Oaks, leafy green, tender Maple leaves...fireflies illuminating the brisk mountain night air,... these are the moments, the memories, the experiences that make life so enjoyable, that breathe passion into our souls, reminding us and teaching us of God's amazing and perfect creation" - The Goshorns

"Your little red cottage is both sweet and charming. Thank you for this relaxing respite where we made some happy memories. Favorite moments included marveling at the early morning sun working magic on dewdrops and living on the screened porch. A light rain and a good book on that porch is heaven! (And oh yes, the hot tub is paradise too!)" ---The Fields Family, Atlanta, GA

"Thanks for a wonderful mountain retreat! What a treat! Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway and OHH the waterfalls! We enjoyed the hot tub, the porch, and the rain was perfect! The cabin is perfect.
