Perfect Relaxing Retreat
Everything was perfect until we had to leave this little oasis right before Hurricane Helene whipped through the area. It was a dissappointing decision to make since we still had so much remaining on our to-do list. The house lived up to its Loverly name and was a love nest in every aspect. Now, we pray for the kind people of Ashville. God bless you, Brea and David.

Peaceful escape in nature
The property has everything you need and Brea is more than helpful and available to help make your stay perfect. We enjoyed the large trees, the sounds of nature, the fireplaces and the hottub. The location is great, between Lake Lure and Asheville, which is right where we wanted to be to hike and explore. We loved the wine place right in Fairview, Rooted in Wine, along with Hickory Nut Gap to get fresh, local meat to grill. The only warning is that it is a tough driveway to get up. We had a small rental SUV and we couldn't get up the driveway going forward. Thankfully, my husband grew up in the mountains so he backed up the driveway each time and it wasn't a problem. Other than that, it's just a bit further from everything to go down the slow, dirt road, but we didn't mind that. We wanted the more remote feel. We would definitely stay again if back in the area!

Relax and Rejuvenate
Relax in the bubbling hot tub as the wind blows through the trees and the birds sing. Enjoy a quiet moment in the gazebo while warming by the gas fireplace. Sleep as if you are floating on a cloud in the zero-gravity bed while the moon gazes down on you from the sky light. Experience glamping with all the comforts and conveniences of a luxury vacation.

Honeymoon Stay at The Loverly
The Loverly is such a beautiful place to stay! Pictures didn’t do it justice! Up in the mountains, you may want to make sure your car has 4 wheel drive, but it was perfect! My husband and I stayed there for a week in June for our honeymoon. About half an hour from town it’s a convenient location. Brea is an amazing host! She is super great with communication and provides so many suggestions on things to do during your stay. Check in and check out are seamless and if her instruction book leaves room for any questions you may have, just give her a call or text and she’s able to help! Definitely would stay here again if back in the Asheville area!

Clean, well appointed, romantic and private. A short drive to most locations but the best part of your days will be getting back here and relaxing in the hot tub or by one of the fires with a loved one.

Perfect location, peaceful and secluded. Hot tub, fireplaces, and other amenities were top notch. Brea, the host, was so reponsive and considerate. She has really created such a romantic and cozy environment. We really hated to leave :-) It was a truly wonderful place to stay.

Great Escape
The property exceeded what we had anticipated. Everything, furniture, silverware, cutlery, dishes, pots and pans were of high quality. The tv and dvd player were easy to operate and there was not enough time to screen all the dvd's provided. The bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. The cleanliness and decor of the property were impeccable and check-in and out were seamless, as well as the ease of communication with the owner. This is a highly recommened property not to be missed. We will be revisiting.

This is an awesome little spot tucked away on a mountain road. It was perfect for my wife and to sneak away and have some time together. The bed was amazing as well as the hot tub. Everything was cozy and welcoming. Also Breia did a great job communicating and has a super organized system in place. We definitely look forward to coming back in the future.

Wonderful Stay
We were very pleased with everything the cottage offered and the listing was very accurate (which isn't always the case). The cottage was very clean, well appointed, comfy, and welcoming. The location is actually pretty convenient in addition being fairly secluded. Brea was great to work with and will definitely look at Loverly, in addition to her other properties, for future getaways.

A Lovely Secluded Area
If you like a secluded area, like we do, this cottage is ideal. The surrounding woods are lovely and quiet. The interior was very clean, with lots of windows to view the trees. There was a stale smoke odor from the fireplace, but most days we were able to open the windows. The shower is very small, but manageable with some care. The outdoor spaces could have been cleaner, for our taste. Brea, the host, is very engaged and helpful. The wifi was steady both up and down stairs. The kitchen was nicely equipped for cooking for two (which we did most days), with good knives and only lacking a good frying pan (the ones on hand should have been retired). All in all, a good spot with a good host.

Incredibly professional and cozy, small inconvenient quirks.
My wife and I had a great time here on our honeymoon. The property was very clean and Brea was great to work with. There were just a few inconveniences: the driveway was quite steep and filled with potholes, there were a ton of remotes to keep track of (5 in the bedroom alone), and the website said there were no cooking seasonings, which we planned on, but there was plenty of salt and pepper and olive oil from past guests, which would have been nice to know. Overall really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property to any of our friends and family, just had some small quirks!
