Cancellations made 30 or more days prior to arrival are subject to a full refund minus a $25 cancellation fee.

At the time of booking, we ask our guests for a security deposit. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved a day or two before you arrive and then released after departure on return of the keys and if there is no damage, there is nothing you need to do. Whether you are booking one of our vacation rentals, cabins, or cottages in Arden or Asheville, we ensure a smooth and hassle-free process, so you can focus on enjoying your retreat in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

We use SUPERHOG as part of our guest screening process for vacation rentals. Your SUPERHOG application must match the primary guest name on the reservation, and your background check must be completed within 48 hours of receiving your booking confirmation as per State and City law. Your booking is NOT confirmed until these requirements have been fulfilled. Once the reservation is confirmed, and prior to check-in, guests must sign a Rental Agreement outlining the terms of the stay, stating that they agree with and acknowledge:

• To abide by our rental terms and conditions.
• To provide a copy of a valid government-issued ID and matching credit card prior to check-in.
• We collect a non-refundable damage waiver of $50, paid via SUPERHOG
• The waiver will cover you for any accidental damage during your stay

Yes, pets are welcome at most of our properties, but may vary slightly per property. To ensure we can accommodate your pet during your stay, please see each property for pet details. If a property is pet-friendly, there is a standard $125 pet fee. Our Arden vacation rentals, including cottages and cabins, are designed to be comfortable for both you and your pets, making them the perfect choice for a family retreat in the mountains.
