Eve has been my lifeline as I've established a short-term rental from afar. Her flair for design has made my functional space homey and welcoming, with fitting decor and lovely, thoughtful touches that I would not have thought of myself. She is incredibly responsive and springs into action as soon as we have agreed on anything. I decided to buy several items, and they were selected and purchased within 24 hours. Guests message and she replies within minutes. From the very first time I spoke with her, I could sense her enthusiasm and friendliness. I knew she would be a perfect right-hand person for me and my property, and I was absolutely right about that.

Judy & I are enjoying the redesign of our cabin. We are so impressed with the thought that went into everything. Judy keeps pointing out things to me that she likes, like the personalized books on the mantel, the area rugs, and the fireplace transformation. We saw the "fairy lights" are on a timer. Nice touch. Thank you both for a job well done; but mostly, thank you for caring about how everything was done. We LOVE our home!

Eve & Jim and The Cabin Fairy have been an invaluable resource in helping us set up our rental property. They are friendly and easy to work with.

Jim has lots of ideas on how to optimize our guest experience and is always ready to fix things up to the highest quality to make sure we get those five-star reviews! Their knowledge and expertise of the short-term rental market has been a powerful tool for us, and we can't recommend them enough!

We had "The Cabin Fairy" redesign our 17-year-old rental suite. It was in need of an overhaul and they did a phenomenal job! Jim is a super handyman, and Eve is a fantastic designer. Eve has studied the statistics, design principles and pricing strategies of vacation rentals and knows how to increase bookings. She helped us upload new photos of the suite, as well as update the captions. Our rental has a more open look, photo canvases of local scenery and wildlife, along with a coherent color scheme. They area professional team and we would recommend them to anyone owning a rental unit of any kind. 5 stars!

We have been thrilled with what The Cabin Fairies have done with our property in the short period of time they have managed it. In a two-week period, they have exceeded our expectations in rental bookings. Beyond that, with a relatively low budget, they were able to update, upgrade and transform our home to a place I'm proud to bring my friends and family. We highly recommend Jim, Eve & team.

We cannot thank Eve & Jim enough for their expertise and guidance in setting up our mountain cabin for short-term rental. Within hours of going live online, we had our first booking. We had a lot of questions when we started this adventure, but Eve & Jim were very patient with us and assured us everything would be handled. They are a fantastic team, and choosing The Cabin Fairy was the best decision we could have made.

From our first phone call to our first visit, we knew The Cabin Fairy was a great fit for us. As long-distance owners, we needed boots-on-the-ground management. Eve is knowledgeable on how to get more bookings and at the best prices! The Cabin Fairy is a full-service management team and we are thankful they are watching over our vacation home.

Eve & Jim were such an amazing find. I inherited a cabin from my grandparents that I wanted to turn into a short-term rental, and I was struggling to get the last couple of pieces in place. Within a month of first reaching out, Eve & Jim had everything ready and we hosted our first guest! I could not have gotten over the line without their help. I looked into Asheville-based property managers, but having someone down the street provides a level of service that just can't be beat. I can't recommend them enough!

The Cabin Fairy is an absolute gem! Eve & Jim, the owners, recently redesigned and refreshed our short-term rental property in Bryson City, NC. We couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Eve & Jim were a dream to work with. They were incredibly communicative, always keeping us in the loop on progress and any decisions that needed to be made. Their follow-through was impeccable - everything they promised was delivered on time and to the highest standard. Most importantly, Eve & Jim are incredibly trustworthy. We felt completely comfortable giving them the keys to our property and allowing them to work their magic. The results speak for themselves. They managed to maintain the unique character of our cabin while adding thoughtful, modern touches that truly elevated the space. We launched our property last week and have 5 bookings already! We can't recommend The Cabin Fairy highly enough!

We did not even know where to start in terms of property management. Reaching out to The Cabin Fairy was the right decision for us. Eve made everything so smooth, and her talent for staging and knowledge of rentals is excellent. We expected a slow start, but quickly had back-to-back bookings the first month. Folks we can trust, sharing our home with others without any of the worry.
