Peaceful and entertaining!

This place is great if you're looking for a getaway from the busy city, but want to be centrally located to various attractions. We enjoyed our drives when we visited Asheville and other neighbooring towns anyway, which made our trip even better. The hot tub, board games, record player and spacious layout was great for entertainment. The views were beautiful! My dog enjoyed the place as much as we did! The kitchen has anything you'd need, plus more. And there are extra blankets for brisk mornings to sit outside and enjoy coffee.

Great Location To Explore the Mountains

Great little house in Old Fort. The only negative was the hot tub was pretty grungy. My wife would not go in and I only used it a couple of times. Tech came out and cleaned filter and added chemicals, but I suspect it needs a drain and detail. Pretty disappointing as I was recovering from surgery and was really looking forward to enjoying the hot tub. Two excellent breweries in town. Overall enjoyable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Greybeard Rentals

Greybeard Rentals manages vacation rentals and vacation cabins in Asheville, Black Mountain, Montreat, Old Fort, and surrounding areas. Located 10-15 minutes from downtown Asheville, Black Mountain is a quaint town with many great shopping options, delicious restaurants, breweries, and access to hiking trails and wilderness areas. TripAdvisor named Black Mountain one of America's Prettiest Towns in 2017. Asheville is home to award-winning restaurants, and stunning mountain views with access to areas like the Blue Ridge Parkway, The Biltmore Estate, and a variety of local art and culture. Oh, and did we mention Asheville has had the record for having more breweries per capita than any other U.S. city? We held the title for Beer City USA in 2009. Hiking trails are also located throughout western North Carolina.
