We had a wonderful week at Christin’s place. It was perfect for our family of four and dog! My boys loved the pac man game, foosball table and hot tub. The location is central to both Brevard and Hendersonville, and a quick 25 mins to Asheville. The place had the most special little touches like towels for your pups paws and treats for the waffle bar. Beds were very comfortable and each room had a portable charger and sound machine set up! Would definitely stay again!

We had a lovely week at Firefly Meadows. It was a great location and easy to get in and out of. We enjoyed many hikes within 20 minutes of the house and enjoyed the local restaurants. Highlight of the house was the fenced backyard which my kids, pup and the adults all enjoyed. My kids also really enjoyed the game room with foosball and Pac Man. The host was responsive and friendly when we had questions.

My husband, two teenage sons, dog, and I loved our stay at Firefly Meadows! The house was the perfect base for our adventures in Pisgah and DuPont forests, Hendersonville, and Brevard. We had great food at It was great to come back to enjoy the big yard and relax in the hot tub, around the fire pit, or with a game of foosball. The beds were super comfy, and we enjoyed starting the day with waffles! We also had great meals and hospitality at Taco Fiesta in Horse Shoe, the AMB taproom in Mills River, and West First Wood-Fired in Hendersonville. I'd highly recommend staying at Christin's place!

Such a beautiful AirBnB! We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and views. The AirBnB was clean and exactly as described/pictured in the listing. Christin is a fantastic host who is very responsive and incredibly kind. I would (and have!) recommend this AirBnB to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Asheville/Western NC area!
