Beautiful Property

Everything was great! The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The hot tub and views were amazing! Downtown Asheville and the Biltmore were only 20 minutes away. We really enjoyed our stay!

Above and Beyond

This is the only time I've ever stayed at a rental place where the pictures and description don't even begin to do justice to how amazing the property is. It was beyond every expectation we had. Our family stayed here for 2 weeks and we will be back 100%. If it is available, book it!

Bach trip

I would say overall this house was super nice! She stocked the kitchen and had crumbl waiting for us! There were only 3 small things that prevented me from giving it at 5 star though. 1 thing is that after 4pm when check in was, we had to call to get our code because the owner wouldn’t answer our messages about it. The 2nd thing was that one of the days we found the owner entering the garage portion that isn’t listed as blocked off without telling us she was coming. We did have a panic moment where We thought someone was breaking in or that there were people hanging out in the garage without our knowledge. And the last thing was just some small outdoor things like wasp nests by the hammock and the jets of the hot tub spraying out some stuff that looked like clumpy makeup. But don’t let those little things deter you. She was fantastic to communicate with and the house was plenty big with a lot to do! I would absolutely visit again.
