We had a Wonderful and Relaxing stay at the Fox and Hen! The hosts provided so many comforting things. When we would think of something we might need, it was already there. The detailed instructions that were given in advance to enter the home, use the hot tub, fireplace, places to hike and restaurants to visit, etc were very helpful. Great attention to detail! The comfort of the entire home and the views from the home, back deck of the mountains were above and beyond Gorgeous! Warm, cozy, inviting and lovely would describe this Fantastic get away! My added favorite part was using my 4x4 to navigate the roads to the home...so FUN! Thank you for sharing your Lovely Home, Hospitality, Kindness and Generosity! We cannot thank you enough! We look forward to bringing out family here one day.

Gorgeous house in a gorgeous area

It was hard to do anything other than sit on the deck or in the hot tub. It's a gorgeous area and the house layout worked really well for our two families. Watching the stars from the hot tub is a magical experience.

Stunning Mountain View’s

We’ll maintained and updated property which would be great for a family or getaway for just the two of you. My husband and I enjoyed the views and hot tub. The beds and living area were great for snuggling up in the evenings and it was the perfect home base with access to Little Switzerland, Spruce Pine and the North Cove area. Highly recommend!!

Breathtaking!!!

This was the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen,. and it's right off the deck!, The house was very clean and there are lots of places in the area to spend your time. But if you want to just relax and take in the view, this is the place to be!!!

A fantastic friends trip

Three of us friends had a really great time in this unique place! The deck and views are incredible - we kept talking about how they were so beautiful they looked fake! We cooked there and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for us to relax and the smart TVs were great. We enjoyed the town of Little Switzerland, spent ab afternoon in Asheville and had a great time at the alpine coaster (get the 3-pack!). We will definitely be back!!!

A nice stay

We have been staying at this house for years, but this was our first stay since the new owners purchased it. The rental price hike was steep, especially for just two or four guests. They made some nice, simple cosmetic updates in the loft, which were long overdue. Our friends we invited to join us stayed in the main level bedroom and said the mattress was terribly uncomfortable, so I felt bad about that. The kitchen and upstairs bathroom need blinds or a shade, especially since one of the exterior cameras on that side of the house unnecessarily points directly toward the house, which is a bit creepy. The view from the deck is still one of the best. Based on VRBO’s rating system, I gave it a 5-star rating, but I wanted to be honest and provide the best feedback I can.

Motorcycle trip

Our stay was short but wonderful! The chalet is as described and pictured, it is very clean and welcoming. The view was unbelievable and sitting on the deck was a treat for your soul. The only issue we had was a trailer and a motorcycle, the road in is not friendly to either of those. This property is a gem but Austin, is a person of such kindness and integrity that meeting him even via email made the trip that much better. Go!! It’s awesome!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Fox and Hen Den. The house was a pleasure to stay in ( the view is, of course, spectacular) location was perfect for hiking and gem mining and other things we enjoy. The Air hockey and foosball tables were great for the downtimes. Will definitely consider renting this house again.
