This property was great! It was clean, the beds were so comfortable and it was very convenient to the concert we attended. The only complaint I have is that I didn't receive the door code until almost 35 minutes after my check-in time.
Super clean, would definitely stay here again. Front of the house when pulling into the house could use some up keep.. bushes grass weeds etc

Unsafe. The pictures do not match actual property. Waiting for a refund, as per Vacasa manager : Ericka.

Not all good
Location to Black Mountain good. Railroad crossing arm down a lot so had to be creative on getting to main road. House outside looks like a dump. Very hard to get sound on tv. Very hard to get decent channels instead of kid channels. Water from shower head just a little stream. Trash can so full hard to get my trash in. Ended up moving out after first week so threw away money paid for second week. Too much stress trying to deal with things.

Hello, Charlotte. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your stay and that it caused you so much stress.
We apologize for the issues with the railroad crossing, the condition of the house exterior, the TV channels, the shower head, and the trash can. Your experience is not reflective of the quality we strive to provide our guests, and we regret that we fell short during your stay. We understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with these issues, and we are sorry that it led to you moving out early. We will be addressing these concerns with our local operations manager immediately to ensure that future guests do not encounter the same problems. Thank you again for your feedback.
As good as could be expected for the price and area
The interior of the property was very nice and clean. This is a house split into 3 units. One upstairs and 2 downstairs. One of the downstairs units has a mattress on the floor and no other furnishings. Our unit was around back through a french door.
The landscaping was awful as was the driveway. It's right by some train tracks too. The train really didn't bother us, but we did have to cross them to come and go. The neighbors seemed to be okay. They both have dogs but there wasn't an issue with barking.
We thought that we were the only ones in the property but one night we came back and there was lights on upstairs but no cars. We heard movement upstairs that night, nothing crazy, but then they were gone the next day. We never saw a car or heard or seen anyone again so this raised a few red flags for us.
The water pressure was awful. I had read the reviews before and was anticipating there to be an issue occasionally if someone else was using another unit. Like I said we were the only ones there the entire 5 days except that one night. The water pressure was bad the WHOLE time. It just dribbles out of the shower head and sink and then gets a little pressure and your good for a few minutes, then it dribbles again. I have a lot of hair and need high pressure to rinse the conditioner. It took forever. We booked this because it was close to the festival and affordable. I would say it was a good value for the price. The unit was pretty nice inside and had everything we needed.
