    We loved our stay with Carolina Mornings! Everything was exactly as expected and the house was even…read morebetter in person. Communication and customer service were excellent! Cubs Den is located in an incredibly beautiful setting close to Asheville with easy access to great skiing and hiking. It feels wonderfully remote while still being very convenient to town and nearby amenities. Watching deer wander into a field below the house at sunset was the best. The house itself is exceptionally well stocked. It truly feels like a cross between a five star hotel and an Airbnb. When we walked in, it felt as though we were the very first guests. Everything is brand new, in perfect condition, and spotlessly clean. Truly, all you need to bring is a toothbrush and food. Everything else has been thoughtfully provided. The layout was ideal for our family of four with two adults and two kids. The main level includes a comfortable living area, dining space, kitchen, and bathroom. The hot tub is just outside the back door, making it incredibly easy to enjoy. Upstairs, there are two matching primary suites, each with a very comfortable king bed and a spacious bathroom with both a tub and shower. The laundry is also upstairs and conveniently located. The listing mentions three bedrooms, which can be a bit confusing. The bunk beds are more of an extra sleeping area adjacent to the two bedrooms. It is really a very spacious two bedroom home, and it worked perfectly for us. We were visiting friends who have a home in Wolf Laurel near the new Hatley Pointe ski resort. I did not want to stay in an old, moldy cabin, and while this home required a bit more driving, it was absolutely worth it. We loved this house and are already looking at dates for our next stay. Huge thank you!

    NEVER AGAIN! When we…read morefirst arrived at our Airbnb, hosted by Carolina Mornings, the first thing we noticed was how dirty the hot tub cover and outdoor tables were. Granted, this was a cabin surrounded by many trees, so a light layer of dust would be expected and acceptable. However, these were well beyond that. As we approached the front door, we noticed that the outdoor couch had several holes. Upon closer inspection, it was obvious a rodent had been living in it, making it completely unusable. We walked inside the cabin, unloaded our vehicle, and settled in. Immediately, we messaged Carolina Mornings to express our disappointment, stating that it looked like weeks or months had passed since these items were last maintained. They responded that "the furniture and hot tub space are exposed to the elements, and sometimes dust, pollen, and even critters can build up quickly between cleanings. That said, it should have been better prepared for your arrival, and I apologize that it wasn't." Later, Vince called and said they would have the couch cushions cleaned and sanitized. We explained that the items were likely beyond repair, having already sent photos. A few hours later, they called back stating they couldn't repair or replace the item during our 8-night stay. They advised us to throw away the cushions and pillows, then suggested we use indoor couch cushions outside. They offered tickets to nearby attractions, but we declined, explaining that we specifically booked this cabin to enjoy its outdoor space, not local attractions. The following night, we decided to relax and tried turning on the TV for the first time, only to find it unplugged with no working remotes. The soundbar remote didn't work, and the Dish Network remote wouldn't sync. We sent photos and explained we had to hook up our laptop to watch anything, which was absurd. They said a technician would come in the morning. The next evening, after being out all day, we returned to find nobody had come and we hadn't received a call. Carolina Mornings then claimed, "From your message yesterday, we understood you had sorted out the TV issue, so we didn't send a technician." I reiterated our frustration and asked for escalation to a manager. They replied, "I apologize that the technician did not follow through this morning as expected." I asked which statement was true since both couldn't be. They avoided answering, then said they'd send a tech. The technician later confirmed it was a syncing issue requiring Dish Network support. Again, there was no follow-up. After 24 more hours with no contact, I messaged Carolina Mornings. They apologized and said a new remote had "already" been ordered. I responded, "Are you not going to escalate this? Is there no manager? Are you refusing? 'Already'? We checked in Thursday. Tomorrow is Monday--halfway through our stay. This should've worked before we arrived. Communication would have gone a long way." They said their admin team would reach out Monday, but this was wrong because Monday was a holiday. Someone finally contacted me on Tuesday. Jodi, a team lead, called. When she learned we had to move the indoor cushions outside and back in daily, she claimed they'd told us to flip the original cushions and put a throw on top. That was false, and I reiterated what had actually been said. I explained there were too many different people involved with no resolution and again asked if she was a manager. She was only a team lead. After several back-and-forth messages with Jodi--and declining free tickets again--she offered to remove 1 of 8 nights (not including fees) as their "best offer." I told her my only recourse would be to contact Airbnb directly, which I did. Airbnb reviewed everything and responded with a fair resolution, stating they would contact Carolina Mornings and that situations like this could result in a suspension of the host's account. Interestingly, while reading prior reviews, we discovered that another guest also reported problems with rodents. This confirmed our concerns weren't isolated. To make matters worse, Carolina Mornings' rental agreement is over 7,800 words long--unbelievable for an Airbnb stay. Throughout this entire experience, they consistently pointed fingers, avoided accountability, failed to escalate issues despite multiple requests, and even contradicted themselves to cover mistakes. We booked this cabin to enjoy the outdoor space and relax. Instead, we spent our vacation dealing with filth, unusable furniture, rodents, a broken TV, poor communication, and outright lies. Avoid Carolina Mornings at all costs.

Alyssa I've found her name to be, not that she gave it but was told when her mom or her manager or whoever called me back. Brenda who was nicer but instead of fixing the issue just sort of bailed on us. Alyssa called screeching at us with out giving an address or any indication of what in the world she was calling about. Interesting that when Brenda called she mentioned she had listened to a recording of the prior call. I never gave consent or was presented the option of that which is a felony in NC, were it says they are located. Not that I had anything to hide I just don't believe she did and if she did I would like to know so I can seek damages for my time. Anywho, seems at one point they were a decent company based on reviews but it's not looking so good today. Did they get too big? New management? Not sure why but absolute garbage service in this case. I'll steer clear.

Excellent stay! Second time at Asheville Cottaged and we cannot say enough about the experience. They think of everything to make your experience top notch! We arrived and were feeling a little snacky. No problem! The snack tree and variety of waters/soft drinks/juiced beverages in the fridge were welcome! We browsed the binder for suggestions on where to grab dinner. After dinner at White Duck Taco, we stopped Ingles for a few groceries. Of course, Tracie and Marshall made sure each cottage had an Ingels savings card to use! Need a battery? Under the kitchen sink. Ziplock bag? Yep..,check a drawer in kitchen. They think of everything you may need and have it on hand for you! Loved the soaking tub! Loved the heated bathroom floor. Loved heated toilet seat. Accidentally hit a button on the bidet in the middle of the night and got a little surprise rinse off. . The big surprises were seeing a few bears late one afternoon behind the cottage (Magnolia). Thankfully, we just sat quietly on the deck and they looked at us and took off for the woods. Overall, it was a great trip and on the flight home, I started to look at availability to come back for a girls trip later in the Fall with my sister and niece. But before I could book anything, Hurricane Helene severely impacted the area. My heart breaks for all the families who lost loved ones in this disaster. By finding them on social media to see if they were ok, I found out that thankfully Asheville Cottages did not sustain much damage due to their location. Since Asheville tourism is essentially stopped, Tracie and Marshall have graciously opened their cottages to local families who have been displaced by the hurricane as they still have electricity and water. They also are still paying their employees salaries during this time (as they did during Covid) - taking care of them like family. THIS is exactly the kind of small business that my husband and I are proud to support so we will be staying at Asheville Cottages next time we come to Asheville...whenever that can happen.
