Check in was super easy and seemless, my dog loves the property and having a decent yard to play around in. Property was well taken care of and even though I didn't need anything from Corey while I was there, I'm sure he would've been there to fix any issues I had. ##### Bobbie C.

We will check with you to rent. ##### Walt P.

Location and house were both good and house is decorated very nice with new upgrades and fixtures. Host was always great and responded to questions very quickly. We requested an early checkin and to accommodate this request property would charge a pretty steep early check in fee. Also it would be nice to have more trash bags provided with your stay. Overall great place and would stay here again ##### Christy A.

It was easy for us to get to Biltmore. Only complaint would be that the bed linens need to be refreshed. Some were stained and one bed had dog hair in it. We had to clean them on the first night. We didn't contact property manager as it was so late. Overall, it's a nice property for a group to get back and forth to Biltmore. ##### Jason W.
