The property was great. The large galley kitchen was great for cooking and meal prep. Loved the large deck and view of the mountains! Plenty of room for our whole family. We will definitely stay here again when we come to Asheville.

Thank you for your review! We are very happy that you were pleased with your stay.
Came to explore Asheville as a family over Fall Break. Location was close enough to the city, but gave us the cabin in the woods feeling we were looking for. Lots of room for everyone and kitchen was well stocked. Thanks!

Thank you for your review! We’re very happy that you were pleased with your stay.
My family and I stayed at this property while in town for a wedding. The outside property is very pretty with a great view on the back deck. The kitchen was well stocked and there was toilet paper for all three days, which was really nice. The upstairs living space was very clean and nobody had any complaints about the beds. My only complaint was the amount of spiders in the downstairs bedroom. We let them be, but anybody afraid of them would have had issues trying to sleep in the bed knowing they were all around them.

The house was exactly as shown online! It’s the perfect location to get access to all the downtown shops and breweries but also a nice mountain retreat.
The house is very cozy and spacious. All of the furnishings are new and comfortable. We all would visit it again. We were in Asheville to visit The Biltmore Estate, and this place was an easy drive to the estate and to town. It was in a very peaceful area with beautiful views of the Smoky Mountains.

This property was PERFECT for the 4th of July holiday weekend! We loved taking advantage of the well-stocked kitchen and gorgeous porch for meals throughout the weekend. The house is beautiful and so easy to hop over to town! Coffee in the morning on the back porch is hard to beat.

We loved staying at this house. It’s very spacious. It’s decorated very nice. The absolute best part was the deck and the amazing views. We were there in October and were surrounded by fall color. We loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the peacefulness and the views.
The property was very nice. We had plenty of firewood for the fireplace. Had a fire every night after our excursions. Well maintained and thought out. Plenty of sundries for every need.
