This is a nice place to stay. The two main bedrooms are separated at each end of the home which make for good privacy if going as couples. The Porch with the chairs, fans and lights add a nice country feel.

Asheville trip rental
For the price thsi was great property, good size bedrooms .
This house immediately felt like home. My husband and I along with my uncle and his wife and niece were on a business trip for a long weekend and decided to stay at a Vrbo instead of hotel rooms. It was definitely less expensive but SO much nicer. We were very pleased with everything about the place. Location, ease of checking/checkout process, the furnishings made you feel like you were at home.
The sink in this bathroom is stopped up. We were able to get it to go out from time to time but it could use some TLC.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you so much for your review and helpful feedback! We’re so happy to hear that you had a good stay with us. Please let us assure you that we will have our Field Operations Team check the sink and make sure this gets addressed. Next time you stay with us, remember our 24/7 guest hotline is always available to call with any issues that may come up. We want to make sure you’re as comfortable as you can be during your stay. We can’t wait to have you stay with us again! ~The TurnKey Team
Vacasa Our stay was for New Year’s Eve 2025 - 2026. The house was conveniently located for our needs and clean to the sight but after looking for blankets in the closets we found this huge pet bed full of animal hair and a large pet cage. We read not only on the listing but also in the house rules that no pets were allowed. We booked based on that information it was a pet free home and pets have not regularly been in the house. We hoped my family would not have to deal with pet hair or pet dander for allergy reasons. This information should be disclosed in your listing that pets are in the home and just renters are not allowed to bring in their own pets. I hope this will not affect my family's health this week. I hope Vacasa will require owners to disclose this information to avoid any potential liability in the future due to possible allergic reactions. Overall the house was satisfactory other than having animal hair stuck to our bags.

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced and appreciate you sharing your feedback. We understand how concerning pet hair and dander can be, especially for guests with allergies. We will ensure our housekeeping team performs a thorough clean, and the listing will now note that the owners occasionally bring their dogs when visiting for full transparency. We’re glad the home was convenient, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again under improved conditions.

Reviewer Comments:
The heater was inoperable but a very presentable and qualified technician came and undertook repairs. Please have the maintenance person shim up the refrigerator door. The floor slopes away from the refrigerator and causes the refrigerator door to slam agains the adjacent passageway opening's wood jamb. Our family would consider renting the house again.

Tryying to get the code to work in the front door when we arrived was our only frustration. Everything else was very nice .

Hi Chando,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and share your experience! It appears that there may have been some confusion with your review rating so we’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. You were perfect guests, and we look forward to hosting you again!
The location is good and not far from all activities in Asheville. We walked down the street for breakfast and coffee. We relaxed on the front porch and enjoyed the family time. House is roomy, clean and has a nice fire pit out back.

Pros: Cute home, nice front porch, functional kitchen, spacious bedrooms. Cons: keypad is tricky, loud street, low water pressure when using both bathrooms, sink in main bathroom needs attention. It was clogged and we didn’t report. Overall nice property but too expensive for the value.

Hi Wendy,
Thank you for the compliments, and we love hearing how much you had a nice stay with us. That being said, we do apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay with us. We wish we had known at the time so that we could have helped out then. Our 24/7 guest hotline is always available if anything ever comes up while staying at one of our properties. Please know that the home has been inspected and changed the battery and lock working perfectly and removed the clogged at the bathroom sink. We will reach out to our local Operations team to check the water pressure at the property. You were nice guests, and we appreciate you taking care of our place as if it were your own. Please come back and visit us again any time.
The rental was absolutely perfect! Everything was extremely well cleaned. The house was decorated beautifully. Lots of towels and blankets available. Great location. Just a short drive to both Hendersonville and Asheville. I would definitely stay at this property again.
House was clean and in great shape. Everything was as described. The checkin was seamless and property manager was very easy to deal with. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice house
Good location house to get to the Biltmore and surrounding places. It was a nice quaint home. We enjoyed the fire pit at night. The kitchen has all the things we needed for our stay. The beds were comfy to sleep in. My kids enjoyed the few games and puzzles the home has to offer. The house was not fully cleaned upon arrival and housekeeping had to come back to clean, even after that it was an ok clean not the best. We did have quick responses to the matter and it was handled. The other thing that was not truly disclosed was the fact the home is right off the main road and there is a junk yard located right behind the back fence. Also, at the time of our visit the house next door had lots of trash and toliets in their front yard which was a tad concerning and we felt a little on the unsafe side. However all in all the house itself is nice and if cleaned properly would be nice to stay at.

Hi Jill,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and hope that you made yourselves right at home. That being said, we do apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay with us. We’re so glad we were able to send someone out to address the cleanliness issues after you called our 24/7 guest hotline. Please know that our Guest Access Instructions has since been updated to provide accurate details about the home location. We value your feedback, and your concern about the trash and toilets of the house next door has been passed along to the homeowner. By the way, you were perfect guests, and we’re looking forward to hearing from you again! -The TurnKey VR Team
The process of working with turnkey was so simple. There were immediate responses from text messages and all the info we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The details provided in prep including folded towels with travel soap, shampoo, and conditioner on each bed was very thoughtful, and the dining room table was prepared with place settings and stemware. The home itself was much roomier than I was expecting, with three large bedrooms a nice sized living room, and dining room. The fire pit behind the home was large enough for a good fire and the area surrounding it was prepared with gravel and stumps for seating if the provided folding chairs are not used. The neighborhood was quiet and a good location to nearby access.
The house was super clean with updates throughout. Very close to hiking and Asheville. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The house was cute and served our needs well. It was nice to come back and be able to spread out a bit. The front porch was nice to have coffee on in the morning. I gave 3 stars to property condition only because there were some items lacking in the kitchen and the home is in need of a few cosmetic repairs. All in all we loved Asheville and surrounding areas!
