Cozy and Convenient |
Reviewed by: Terry Rumsey

| We loved the Ladybug Cabin. It was charming, clean, and comfortable. The loft was perfect for our teenaged daughter, and our mornings were delightful reading out on the porch swing. Although the immediate surroundings are not breathtaking, the location is great--far enough away from Asheville to be peaceful and quiet, but close enough for convenient forays into that terrific town. The entire area is filled with natural beauty, and the cabin was a great base for our hiking and canoeing trips. |

Home away from Home |

| From the moment we walked in the door, we felt at home at Ladybug. This quaint cabin is lovingly decorated. It was perfect for a family of four. There is one separate bedroom and a great loft area for the kids. The home was immaculately clean and had lovely front porch views of the mountains. We will definitely return. |

A quiet retreat |

| My husband and I stayed at this sweet little cabin for a three-night stay. We would definitely recommend it. The road accessing the location was a little rough and I wish that had been stated in the rental info. However, whenever we go back to Asheville if we want a private, quiet place this would be it. It was clean, well-equipped and the bed and pillows were even great! I can see how a family with children would enjoy the "ladybug" excesses and the sweet little loft. It's a winner. |

Great for a Small Family |

| We had a wonderful time! This home was decorated in such a fun and welcoming way. Our son Loved finding all of the ladybugs in the home decor - probably thousands! There were so many "extras" too, the owners thought of everything from umbrellas to walking sticks to citronella candles! Our kids loved the horses/cows/dogs at the neighbor's little farm. It was so beautiful and relaxing! The loft was unique too, great for kids ~4-10. The 'stream' was pretty small, we heard no gurgling. There were some wasp's nests on the porch but thankfully the owners provided wasp spray. Also provided was drinking water because there was sulfur in the water. If you leave any items, they will gladly ship them to you, but you will have to pay $25 on top of shipping/insurance costs. It was great to not have to do a lot of clean-up though! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would use this company again. |

| This was a very charming house and we could tell the owner's had put alot of TLC into it. However, the sulfur water was a huge drawback and we did wish that it had been noted on the rental description. We wouldn't have rented the property had we known. |

Quaint Cabin - Conveniently located |
Reviewed by: MsWhite
Reviewed on: 05/16/2008

| Overall the cabin itself was nice. It was very cozy and quaint, clean, and nicely maintained. We probably should have gathered this from the picture -but we didn't love that the cabin isn't really secluded and the yard is on a slant. However, one thing that was absolutely WONDERFUL was that they got our Biltmore Tickets for us and had them waiting when we arrived - making our trip to Biltmore convenient. I also liked the local pamphlets and materials found inside the cabin. It was conveniently located for trips to downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate (which is amazing). We also took trips to Grandfather Mountain and Linville Falls and Chimney Rock Park - all within an hour or two drive. |

| We visit our grandchildren monthly and have rented Ladybug Cabin twice...we all love it! It is in a beautiful location! We enjoy going hiking in the woods and visiting the farm animals but it is also close to the city and other attractions. I definitely recommend it! |

Good Value around Asheville |
Reviewed by: Jules

My husband and I chose the Lady Bug cabin after much searching on
the internet. We wanted to do lots of things in Asheville and not
spend a lot of time in our hotel or a lot of money on our hotel. We
went on a wonderful Mountain Biking tour with Brown Dog and we
went white water rafting.
We think this cabin is very good value for Asheville. It is a bit shady
on the road going in and it's also quite remote feeling. I do
recommend arriving during daylight. The cabin itself has everything
you need and is quite cosy for a couple. I would not recommend
bringing the little ones. We enjoyed a very nice weekend away from
our three children while staying in this cabin. |

The cutest little getaway |
Reviewed by: Kim Hoang
Reviewed on: 05/06/2008

| This is the cutest little cabin tucked away in the middle of nowhere. We came there at night so it was a little scary at first but it was love at first sight when we sat the cabin. The decor was quaint and homey. Ladybugs everywhere. Just when you thought you've seen all the ladybug decor you could possibly see, you open the cabinets and there's more ladybug things. It's the cutest little place. The surrounding area is quiet and extremely convenient. It's very close to downtown Asheville. We were very impressed with the cabin and would definitely rent again. It easily sleeps four. |

10th Anniversary |
Reviewed by: guest from Lancaster, PA

| Well, reluctantly it was time to pack and go home. We have just had the greatest week. We were here for our 10th Anniversary and it couldn't have been better! We found the "Ladybug" on the web and it far exceeded our expectations. It was a lot of fun finding new discoveries of ladybugs in the decor. Our compliments and thanks to the owners and management of Ladybug. Truly it's a first class experience! |

Won't be returning to the Ladybug |

| I have to be honest that we did not have an enjoyable stay. The neighborhood is, frankly, trashy (junkyard, poor neglected dog chained to trailer, etc). The view was exposed red clay, excavating equipment and a huge pile of land-clearing debris. The first night we put our daughter in the bedroom (since she does not sleep well in a room with us) and tried to sleep on the incredibly uncomfortable pull-out futon. A mouse in the stove vent kept waking us up (and he left mouse poop all over the rangetop). We finally gave up and got in the bed with our 3-year-old around 3 am. The water has a strong sulfur smell so guests should be warned that they should bring drinking water (a nice touch would be a jug of potable water in the fridge). I will say that it was very clean and our daughter loved all the ladybugs. |

Manager Response: May 02, 2008 |
Gudrun, thank you so much for reviewing Ladybug. We are happy to hear that it was clean and your daughter loved the ladybugs, but we truly apologize for all things that didn’t make your stay wonderful.
We have spoken to the owner of Ladybug about everything mentioned. Your feedback is so appreciated and helps us to make improvements to our properties.
The owner has let us know that they do have well-water at the cabin and experienced a bit of a sulfuric smell and taste at one point, but that it has passed. Thanks to you, they will now include a jug of water for all future guests regardless, just in case that ever happens again.
They also wanted to apologize for the mouse – it seems that one little rodent was a problem they were finally told about. Sometimes this can be an issue for rustic, country cabins. They have assured us that it was taken care of a while back.
The owner of Ladybug is indeed in the process of building two new cabins and a pond near the property. They have two tractors and are doing a bit of renovation. We apologize. In the future if you are not completely satisfied, please feel free to call Carolina Mornings immediately and we will be happy to move you to a more suitable property.
As for your drive to the property where you spotted a dog chained up and a junkyard, we do apologize, although we cannot be responsible for someone else’s property. While an unsightly drive in can leave you with a bad impression, these sights are not on the property, nor near the property to the degree that you would be able to see them from your cabin. We hope your drive in did not prevent you from enjoying your stay.
Again, thank you so much for your review. This helps us all make improvements and allow much better experiences for all future guests!
