Springbrook Cottages has five 50 amp full hookup RV sites, and we rented one for the weekend to visit my wife's parents. We were impressed. The campground area is right on Spring Creek, great for wading or trout fishing. The campsites are good sized and not very densely packed. And the pricing was very reasonable. The management is friendly and a pleasure to deal with. This is one of the few places we have camped where we weren't handed a list of rules upon arrival. Bridge Street, the main drag through Hot Springs is about two blocks away, and there are many shopping and dining options there.

I also love that the units have a porch that looks out on the creek. It is very near the train tracks, but that has never impacted my stay here. The owner does smoke in her office, which is also her home, but the units are smoke free, and she is very nice and always accommodating.

The drive up the mountainside was beautiful (and slightly scary) but oh-so worth it! I was relieved to have made it through the weekend without a flat tire considering the gravel roads we had to trek up to get to the cabin and to the beautiful hiking spots nearby. We made the whole trip in a Honda Accord but with the knowledge we have now, we'd likely get a more rugged rental car for our next visit. As for the cabin...right away I was in awe of how cute and cozy the whole cabin/property was! The cabin was perfectly stocked with everything you'd need for two guests (planning to share a comfortable queen-sized bed) - soap, towels, linens, dishes, silverware, etc. Everything you'd have to bring on your own was very explicitly and clearly stated on their website so we were more than prepared for the weekend trip. I've always loved the idea of "glamping" in a furnished cabin and this was everything and more. The cabin was decked out with new kitchen appliances, a toaster, plenty of pots and pans, drinking glasses, cooking spices, a clean stove top, washer/dryer, spacious shower with benches, outdoor grill, new bath vanity, adjustable TV, fireplace and easily-adjustable air conditioning unit with an electronic thermostat right on the wall. The outdoor patio had a table with bench seats and grill supplies such as an extra tank of propane, a lighter, a spatula and tongs. There was also a nice rocking bench fit for two, a fenced in yard for the pups and a cute little doggy door with a ramp leading straight from the patio to the yard. And saving the best for the last, the patio included a spacious private hot tub! Throughout the cabin, there were friendly, clearly written tips/instructions posted to remind you of how to adjust the thermostat, what settings to keep for the hot tub and how to use the washer/dryer, etc. This was very helpful! I also appreciated the "concierge book" of local activities, menus from local restaurants, and maps with directions to local hiking spots. This was helpful considering there were very few spots along the mountain-side where either of us got any service on our cellphones - a detail that is also clearly stated on their website. Overall, this was a wonderful, relaxing getaway I surely hope to repeat! Thank you to Amy, Mike and Lisa for all of your hardwork and attention to detail!

The cabin was adorable, sparkling clean, and wonderfully secluded. We enjoyed the gorgeous sunset mountain views from the porch and hot tub, and the amazing concierge book filled with restaurant menus, hikes, and activities. They have thought about everything you'd need! From a washer/dryer to a flashlight by the door to take your dog out at night. It was so nice to have no phone service and disconnect from city living for the weekend. I highly recommend this place and we will certainly be back soon! Bonus points, the town of Hot Springs was also very dog friendly! It was so fun to take her to the hardware store and out to lunch with us.

After several years of successful rentals with another company, we decided to explore other options…read moreto boost our rental numbers. In early 2024 we contacted Eve, "the cabin fairy" to investigate other options. She visited our home, said it was great and convinced us to sign a contract with her firm. She indicated she had many customers in the southeast that she would contact directly to secure rentals. She also offered us a management fee of 20% of rental income. Unfortunately, that was the end of the positive relationship. After only a handful of rentals during the summer months, she suggested we try a 6 or 12 month long term rental. We agreed and after reviewing the contract she offered for such rental, we reached out with a couple of questions. Her response was rude and very negative. She stated that she was too busy to deal with such questions and if we could not accept the contract as is, we would have to stick with short term rentals. While she offered a 20% fee for rental management, each month the costs were more like 30% or 40% after numerous deductions for visits to our home, from "handyman services" and an assortment of other charges. Whenever we questioned what the charges represented, our questions were either not answered or represented as "the cost of doing business." On one occasion, I received a call from our security system indicating that someone had entered the property and failed to shut off the alarm. When I tried and failed to reach Eve, the security people sent the police to our home. When I finally reached Eve, rather than shutting off the alarm system, she demanded that I disengage the alarm remotely. When we experienced some plumbing issues in one off our toilets, rather than sending her own handyman to address the problem, she told me to send my own person to fix it. Finally in August I received an email from her indicating that she would no longer manage our property due to its "many needs," with only two weeks notice. Rather than removing our listing on rental sites such as AirBnb,, she told me that her listings were in my name and that I needed to remove them. Unfortunately, before I figured out how to change the listing, several people rented my property on my new management company and the Cabin Fairy sites, resulting in four double bookings for the same dates. Had she passed on the emails for bookings that she received, I could have avoided a very embarrassing transition experience. Her partner was very helpful in passing on contact information for the bookings the Cabin Fairy received, but I had to spend hours trying to secure bookings for the people we could. In conclusion, we found the "cabin fairy" to be difficult to work with and not very customer friendly or professional in her dealings with us. More importantly, she did not deliver on her promise to increase our rentals. Our new management team has secured more rentals in a month than the "fairy" did in almost a year. So disappointing.

Unfortunately, our experience with the property management company, The Cabin Fairy, was extremely disappointing. On our last night, we lost water completely. I reached out to maintenance well before 8 PM and received no reply. I then wrote to the main number and was told: "We will alert the maintenance team. Don't know how fast they can get out there today, but we will try." With six people in the home, including three children, we had no water to drink, flush toilets, or wash hands. We didn't have to cut our trip short since we were checking out in the morning, but the night was extremely uncomfortable. In a situation like this, I would have expected management to step in -- even bringing bottled water, checking on us directly, or arranging an emergency plumber. Instead, we were brushed off, told "utilities are temperamental in the mountains," and essentially blamed for the timing (a holiday weekend). The following morning, we had to reach out ourselves to ask for updates, and only then did we receive another dismissive response. After requesting a refund for that night, our message was ignored. Guests deserve better treatment than being left stranded without a basic necessity. I hope homeowners take note of this review -- the property is beautiful, but guests should be aware of how poorly The Cabin Fairy handles emergencies.

But everything else was a solid 3. Nothing wrong with it at all... But, I was underwhelmed based on my previous experiences. When we checked in, the host was fine. The room was fine. The bathroom did leave some things to be desired. There was not a good place to put your toiletries. We also had to climb into a very deep bathtub to get to the shower... If you are clumsy, like me, you may walk away with a couple of bruises. The house itself was very pretty, and was decorated in a manner appropriate for the property. I would've liked to seen some warm blanket to sit out on the patio with, board games, or puzzles to pass the time. There was only one sofa, and it was not in a cozy little nook where you would want to hang out. The food was fine. The menu is heavy on carbs and sweet breakfast treats. They were executed well enough. But there was not any particular breakfast that knocked my socks off. Again it was fine. The location was very convenient to downtown Asheville. It would be a two minute drive or a 10 minute walk to downtown Asheville. This bed-and-breakfast did not appear to be owned and operated by the hosts, rather an absentee corporation or business. I think that made the difference. Everything was fine, but it didn't have that touch of home that you expect when you stay at a bed and breakfast. For example, when we wanted to use the television, and needed some assistance, when we called the number that was left, the call was blocked. On a whim , we texted Fortunately, they responded right away. But ultimately, after 6 PM you are on your own in terms of staffing. Overall, I can recommend Beaufort House, but I think next time I will try something different.

However, I was expecting this to be a special and elegant experience and it was not. When we arrived during the specific check in time the door was locked and no one was in the front office. It turns out they were showing someone else to their room but we didn't know that. We just stood out on the porch not knowing what to do until someone finally came to the door. There's no reason they couldn't have the front door unlocked during the limited window of check in time. The person who showed us around said there would be "heavy continental breakfast ". However, it turned out the breakfast was probably the very absolute minimum they could provide and still call it breakfast. It was very disappointing. If I'm not mistaken it was only available from 8:30 until 9:30 or something very limited like that. Finally, there was no lotion in our bathroom, only shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap. I would stay there again but I would have to weigh the options of amenities and prices of other hotels. A regular mid price hotel has more amenities than what was offered when we stayed.
