As soon as we walked in it gave off strong vibes of comfort and cleanliness. We had to cut our stay due to a family medical emergency in the devastated areas of Asheville/Waynesville NC. Please pray for those people who have lost everything including families, photos and tangible memories. Blessings to all. ……..remember to VOTE for policies not party….. ##### Charlotte W.

The house has been lovingly decorated and has everything I need for a comfortable stay. The house is always spotless, and the host always has tasty snacks and bottled water for us. It is so nice to have laundry facilities too. The location is so convenient to everything as I have to make many trips to shopping and to LRU. When I visit I am usually working remotely too and the internet works great. The host is very communicative and I always feel so welcome. I usually arrive after dark and the lights are always on for me! ##### Debbie V.

Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Billie J. 2 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just Like Home, Great Stay! Really loved this little home. The pictures do not do it justice. It is an older home with beautiful upgrades. There is a Tv in each room, Not shown in the pictures. The only negative is (or unlike) was the cobwebs on the outside of the windows. I wanted to open my curtains and view the yard but too many webs. But definitely understand it is spring and kind of out of control. Absolutely not one bug in the house. So that's just a suggestion for cleaning the window from the outside. All in all very beautiful home and we enjoyed every minute of it!! WE will be back. ##### Billie J. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris E. 27 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### GREAT Property The house was immaculate. Clean, updated, and nicely decorated. The lights were left on in case we were arriving later in the evening, which was a nice touch to those that do arrive after dark. The only suggestion that I would throw out is to have a "check out" expectation posted on the refrigerator or in an email to the renter. Most every rental we have experienced has that and it helps the renter know what is expected when it comes to the trash, and linens. Dishes should be understood to leave in the dishwasher cleaning/washing. I only suggest that so that people know what they have to do, or what is covered in the cleaning fee. Definitely a "10" out of "10". ##### Chris E. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ---
