Nomad retreat was a great spot in Old Fort! It was super clean, great amenities with the coffee and toiletries included. We even had a welcome bag of snacks. My only complaints were the pillows were all super firm and huge and there weren’t any flatter or softer ones to chose from. There was also a very faint dog smell when you walked in, but it didn’t bother me. Perfect spot and perfect for our needs. Beautiful mountain sunset every night and fireflies! Be sure to check out the new Watershed as a cool hang out in Old Fort. Awesome for kids and adults.

Nomad House
The house was very clean and comfortable. I really liked the outdoor space. It felt very private and the fire pit was really nice. The hot tub is old and doesn't work well.

Peaceful and entertaining!
This place is great if you're looking for a getaway from the busy city, but want to be centrally located to various attractions. We enjoyed our drives when we visited Asheville and other neighbooring towns anyway, which made our trip even better. The hot tub, board games, record player and spacious layout was great for entertainment. The views were beautiful! My dog enjoyed the place as much as we did! The kitchen has anything you'd need, plus more. And there are extra blankets for brisk mornings to sit outside and enjoy coffee.

Great Location To Explore the Mountains
Great little house in Old Fort. The only negative was the hot tub was pretty grungy. My wife would not go in and I only used it a couple of times. Tech came out and cleaned filter and added chemicals, but I suspect it needs a drain and detail. Pretty disappointing as I was recovering from surgery and was really looking forward to enjoying the hot tub. Two excellent breweries in town. Overall enjoyable stay.
