We were a party of 14 and this property was the perfect home for our short vacation. Was clean and had all the amenities for our stay. The host was always in touch with us. Close to grocery stores / restaurants (3 mi).

This place was simply gorgeous. Enough room for 8 friends of 30 years to meet, eat and enjoy each other with much laughter. Great get away for a family vacation. Love the garage activities!

This was a great property to use for our church’s ladies retreat. It was well stocked, clean, spacious, and in a great location!! Easy drive to the biltmore estate entrance. Will definitely recommend this property to others.

Have stayed here several times before for Labor Day Weekend Soccer Tournament. The owners always go above and beyond to accommodate and provide a great experience. We will be back again!! Thank you.
The place was wonderful and improved with many thoughtful touches like snacks to welcome us. Kitchen had everything that you could need to cook for a big group. We had so much fun playing games in the garage. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Extremely clean and well-maintained rental. Very spacious for a family gathering of 12. Extra thought went into stock of basic supplies to keep the visit running smoothly, and a great mixture of games - we really enjoyed the ping-pong table. We have enjoyed many VRBO rentals, but this stay elevated the bar to a higher level. Very quick commute to downtown Asheville and Biltmore.

Thanks so much for visiting and staying with us.
It was a delight to meet you and your family!
Shelia was amazing and very accommodating! The property was spotless and was more than enough space for our party of 10. If anyone forgot anything there were extras items there for us. We couldn’t ask for a better property and a way to celebrate a birthday. The entire experience was better than expected, we have nothing but great things to say and we will definitely be back!!!

Don't hesitate to book this property. It is above and beyond the description. There are so many extra items and basically anything you need is thought of ahead of time and in the unit. The location is great, close to so many stores and restaurants and a quick drive to downtown and the Biltmore Village and Estates. We loved hiking in the area by the property where we were able to go to a different trail everyday.

I can't say enough good things about this home! I was well decorated and comfortable! Included too many extras to list! Teas, coffee, sewing kits, extra toothbrushes, tips, mustard, mayo, ketchup, spices, the list goes on and on! We loved the proximity to the airport! Great home would definitely recommend this to others!

This property is beautiful, and our group of six ladies really enjoyed having our individual bedrooms. This is a new home that is very comfortable, and we found it in pristine condition. The house is extremely well equipped, less than ten minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport, and an easy drive to the Biltmore Estate, River Arts District, downtown Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and many other area attractions.
The hosts were exceptional and cheerfully accommodated our needs and requests.
We were so happy with our experience here.

Thank you so much, Sally! It was a joy to have you and your friends here. Hope to welcome you again in the future!
The house was spacious and the host provided many treats for us (candy and the like). They also had a stocked coffee k-cup setup. The house is cozy and felt clean. One of the bathroom's shower was totally clogged, but all the others worked well and they provided shampoo/conditioner/body wash.
The garage also has some fun games and we took advantage of those before heading to the city.
Fair warning, this spot is about 20m or so from the city proper, so plan accordingly.

Our team will investigate the issue with the clogged shower & hopefully it won't be an issue for future stays :) We hope you're all doing well, and we welcome you back to this or any other Yonder home!
The house is absolutely gorgeous, well organized, and saying clean would be an understatement. It was completely stacked up with everything we possibly could’ve needed/wanted/forgot for our four day stay. Sheila was absolutely amazing, as well. She is extremely kind, welcoming, and responded promptly each time we reached out! We couldn’t have found a better house or host for our bachelorette weekend away with our friends. There were 21 of us and more than enough space, beds/cots, blankets and pillows for everyone to be cozy! I highly recommend!

Thanks so much for coming to visit and taking such great care of the Falcon!
We celebrated my father-in-law’s 90th birthday at the Falcon. It has a large, nicely-designed floor plan, but what really sets this property apart from all others is the attention to every detail that the owners have paid. The listing is absolutely spot-on in describing the space and amenities provided, and the accurate floor plan was a great help in figuring out who would sleep where. Everything was very clean, beds/bedding were comfortable, and there were plenty of nice towels. The amount and variety of consumable items provided was outstanding (TP, coffee, snacks, condiments, foil, etc). The house is beautifully decorated, and we appreciated the beautiful original artwork painted by the owner. The game room was phenomenal!

About the host
Hosted by Sheila McElhaney
We have called Asheville home since 2005. We love it here because even though we are surrounded by 4+ acres of trees, creek, ( and bunnies, foxes, deer and every once in a while a bear) we are minutes from shopping and restaurants and super centrally located. We've always loved hosting guests and meeting new friends. Brennen is a landscape painter and Sheila loves to read, sit in the hammock and pursue creating the world's most perfect lawn. We look forward to having you here!
Why they chose this property
Centrally located, yet private, Winterhawk Vacation Rentals are nestled on 5+ acres in south Asheville. This 3300+ open floorplan end unit townhome is located at the end of our private road. Our 4 townhomes (2 AirBnBs, 1 longterm rental and 1 owner occupied unit) are the only ones located on our private drive. The 4+ acres are peaceful and full of wildlife.
What makes this property unique
The Asheville area has many beautiful vacation rental options, however, many are corporate run. We live in one of the other townhomes on-site and are able to provide exceptional service and attention to detail that a corporation cannot. Ever go to a vacation rental and feel like you need to bring your own kitchen knives? We stock this home as though our good friends were coming to stay. We adhere to a "leave the whole box" philosophy. Rather than providing two trash bags, we leave the whole box. It's the little things that make all the difference: kitchen basics like soaps, cooking oils, spices, fruits and snacks. Laundry basics like detergent, fabric softener, stain spray, and ironing spray. Travel basics: sewing kits, first aid kits, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrushes, floss, razors, feminine products, makeup remover wipes, advil, pepto, benedryl, lip balm and more. We stocked this house with the things we would want when we go on vacation. We've found that, without exception, our guests have returned the courtesy; using what they need and leaving what they don't. Kinda restores your faith in humanity, right? :)
