I am so glad we booked a stay at The Lost at Deer Lake! I was expecting it to be everything they advertised in the listing—what i was not expecting was all the amazing details, sweet personal touches and complete kindness out of our hosts during the stay.
Cindy and Tim (and their beautiful well behaved dog Lucy) were perfect hosts—responsive, accommodating and so thoughtful! The property is truly one of a kind—gorgeous views of idyllic rolling mountains in the distance, green pastures with horses grazing across the fence line, plenty of nostalgia inducing fireflies crackling at dusk. It could not be more relaxing a setting.
They provided much more just a view, too. Custom greetings notes, a very helpful guidebook and everything you will need to brew a fresh cup of coffee, enjoy a little fresh baked banana bread or cookies (Cindy is a lovely baker!), water in the mini fridge and so much more. Super beautiful decor and space inside the Loft—a big comfy king bed as well as a twin set up like a daybed, desk to work if needed, TV, good wi-fi, amazing locally timbered flooring and framing throughout which i could not stop admiring the entire stay (Tim told us the story of them building the home and it’s all so interesting and beautiful)!!!
The city of Arden is great, too—we kept ourselves busy! Being close to Asheville and Hendersonville we never had a lack of things to do—even on a rainy day! We visited and loved: Fahrenheit Pizza & Brews, Cedar Mountain Cafe, Pretty Place at YMCA Camp Greenville, Cedar Mountain Brewery, Sierra Nevada, Bent Creek for hiking, Mayfel’s & Chemist both in Asheville, Lazy Otter Outfitters for kayaking the French Broad, Postero for dinner in Hendersonville and then Ivory Road Cafe in Arden before hitting the road back home.
It was all so wonderful! We will definitely be back again—and we cannot recommend either of the beautiful, cozy and pristine spaces Cindy and Tim host more highly!!!!
