Perfect Oasis
by ErinOur group of four came in for MerleFest and found this property to be the perfect place to recharge each night and morning. The stunning views and well-equipped home made it one of the best rentals we've ever experienced. While there’s a brief moment of hesitation with the narrow road and driveway, the wide, sweeping views and beautifully appointed home quickly dissolve any concerns. We absolutely loved this place! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hold Your Horses to anyone looking for a peaceful and unforgettable getaway.
Breathtaking is the best way to describe this property !
by AnonFrom the entrance into the Leatherwood Resort, Check In, Grounds, All Paved Roads, to our beautiful cabin ( Hold your Horses ) was outstanding !!! We did not leave the resort the entire weekend. It was so relaxing sitting on the deck looking at the 180 degree breathtaking views. The restaurant and live music was great as well ! Spectacular place that we will be sure to return to.
We’ve stayed at quite a few cabin rentals across NC and TN with beautiful mountain views, but this home has them all beat. Beyond incredible views! The house was extremely clean which is top priority for us when renting. We enjoyed grilling out, soaking in the hot tub, and most of all totally relaxing and taking in those views. The house was perfect for our needs and even though we never had to reach out for anything during our stay, I have zero doubt that Abbie would have quickly handled anything. This is our 2nd time visiting Leatherwood and certainly won’t be our last!

by Nora S.You won’t be disappointed...
by AARON S.Super clean & very well maintained home.
The only thing disappointing for us was that the hot tub is not fully functional and definitely in need of being replaced. (I would also say that the fireplace screen should be replaced as soon as possible as well as it is flimsy and likely unsafe)
