Beautiful home!

We had a wonderful time!!! The home is beautiful, the hot tub is a big treat, and Asheville is a quick drive away. The location is lovely and private. The beds were very comfortable. We made use of the free Biltmore ticket, which saved us a lot of money. We had a great time and hope to return!

We booked this property for a Thanksgiving getaway for 3 families. The house was immaculately clean upon arrival. Fresh towels on the beds and everything spic n span. The way this home is laid out was perfect for us, as each family got their own floor. The kitchen was very well equipped so we didn’t need to purchase much, even cooking a whole thanksgiving meal. The firepit area out back was delightful as we roasted marshmallows and made s’mores. The hot tub was a HUGE hit with even the littlest members of the family. The color changing lights made everyone super excited. The house situation feels very secluded even though there are neighbors nearby. Overall, we had an amazing experience with this property.

Great place!!

My family was traveling from Louisiana to Virginia and stopped off in North Carolina for white water rafting. We chose this property for its proximity to Asheville and the many whitewater rafting locations. The house was perfect for eight guests and was extremely private and peaceful. The interior seemed to be newly remodeled and was very clean. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

Nice very private home

Home was exactly as advertised. Nice, big, and clean. Plenty of room for family of 4. Id say would comfortably fit family of 6. I believe it took us about 25 mins to get to Pack Square in downtown Asheville.

Beautiful Home

Stayed at this property for our daughters wedding at yesterday spaces and was the perfect house for us to relax and enjoy while all the festivities were going on. We had many family members in town for the wedding and the house was a great size for people to come visit and stay a while. Kitchen was well equipped, many bathrooms and bedrooms. The weather was a little chilly to sit on the porches but would love to go back and be able to use. Very nice property!!

Reunion

The house just what we needed for a siblings and their spouses' reunion. Lovely setting. We all wished there was printed information about the area and instructions regarding the house. It was a challenging for six of us around the table with only three dining chairs and a bench. Hopefully a fourth chair is found. Overall enjoyed our stay.
