Family Retreat
The property was perfect for our five families. There were spaces large enough to gather while each family could retreat to their private home. The grounds were beautiful with lots of outdoor spaces and trails to enjoy.

The willows retreat sucess
We had a large crew in Hendersonville for our yearly family vacation. We have never used Vacasa until this trip and honestly we are planning to use it more. We stayed 5 days in this breathe taking house. There was so much room and plenty todo. From the game room, to fishing, jumping the creek in the front or down one of the trails, to sitting by the fire. Everyone of our 18 people had a different part they loved. Also the pictures we were able to get were amazing. If you are looking for a secluded laid back beautiful mountains home this is it.
I gave a 3 based upon the following; 1. Downstairs bedrooms smelled like sewage when we entered and got slightly better but still smelled when leaving 2. Other cottages smelled as well, like BO mixed with a plug in air freshener 3. Not enough utensils for accommodations 4. Exterior lighting along rear pathway to cottages had bulbs burnt out5. Rear hanging lights had bulbs that were out 6. No firewood provided for exterior fire pits

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to outline your concerns. Our team inspected the cottages and did not find any sewage or body odor issues, which was confirmed after your checkout. That said, we understand that sensitivities to smells can vary, and we appreciate you letting us know. Regarding the exterior and rear lighting, maintenance is in the process of replacing bulbs. Had we been notified during your stay, we would have been happy to address this right away. Firewood is not provided on site, as noted, but it is readily available at nearby grocery stores and gas stations. As for utensils, there should be sufficient supplies in each unit. Guests occasionally move items between cottages, so we will be following up with our cleaning team to ensure each unit is properly stocked going forward. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the guest experience.
The place looked great online. The reality exceeded our expectations. Our children and grandchildren enjoyed the creek and trails. The adults loved the fire pit. Beautiful and a wonderful retreat center for a group to get away.

Henderson Hide Away
This property was perfect for our extended family reunion. We had 7 siblings plus spouses on the property and had plenty of space for family time and alone time as needed. Outdoor area was awesome. A little chilly to eat outside but we enjoyed the trails and fire pit. The kitchens were well supplied for cooking family meals. Highly recommend this property for large groups.
This property is fantastic for a group of multiple families. Everyone was able to have their own private space while having a fantastic shared space for meals. The kitchen was well stocked (although we did occasionally need to pull items from other kitchens on property). The property is beautiful with ample parking and close to Hendersonville. Roads are windy but well paved, so we did not have any concerns for the 2WD vehicles.
The house and outbuildings are well stocked with everything you may need. The houses and property were clean and in good working order, except for the upstairs oven which had a broken handle. It did not keep us from using it though. The garage apartment had a musty odor the first several hours. Beds were comfortable and area was quiet. Overall, we were well pleased with the property and enjoyed ourselves.

Very spacious accommodations. Property was not as clean as expected, we ended up washing sheets so we could sleep there. Vacasa is not a reliable property management company for communication. Our AC didn't work in 3 of the units, had to call repeatedly to get information about the resolution.

Hendersonville Vacation
The main house was great. It had all the supplies we needed. The creek was nice as we had grandchildren who played in it everyday. We had room for volley ball and corn hole. There were 15 of us so it was nice having the additional homes on the property. The pond was not as expected but we did manage to catch a couple of fish. The retreat is within 30 minutes of many attractions, i.e., Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Ashville, Dupont State Forrest, etc. We went tubing and skiing/water boarding at Lake Lure. This was great. There are many, many places to hike. There were a few issues with the smaller facilities on the property but not so much that it was uncomfortable. It was a great get-away for the family

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Selena. We are thrilled to hear that you and your family had a great stay at our property. It's fantastic to know that the main house had all the supplies you needed and that your grandchildren enjoyed playing in the creek every day. We're glad you had enough space for activities like volleyball and corn hole, and that the additional homes on the property accommodated your group of 15 comfortably.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the pond and the smaller facilities on the property. We are pleased to hear that you still managed to catch a couple of fish and that these issues did not significantly impact your comfort. Your comments are invaluable to us, and we will look into these concerns to ensure a better experience for future guests.
It's great to hear that you took advantage of the nearby attractions and activities, such as Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Asheville, and Dupont State Forest. Tubing and skiing/waterboarding at Lake Lure sound like a lot of fun, and we're glad you enjoyed the many hiking opportunities in the area.
Thank you once again for choosing our property for your family getaway. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you and your family again in the future.

Spacious and private
We really enjoyed having so much room to spread out. This place would be great for multiple families with different cooking needs and schedules as each of the cabins has a kitchen or kitchenette. It honestly felt a bit wasted on us (as we paid for multiple kitchens we didn't use) but I could see how if a small business was hosting an employee retreat or workshop this would be a great place for that. The main house has a decent sized living space, but the dining area is really small, and we were pretty cramped trying to fit the 12 of us around the table. They compensate for this by having a massive outdoor dining area behind the fox den cabin. So, for a large family with kids and elderly relatives the outdoor space wasn't very inviting but for people who are less bonded like coworkers or workshop / retreat attendees it would be awesome. Vacasa was easy to deal with via text but a 10am check out is brutal – and late check out is almost $200 (-no thanks). The property itself – especially the main house is well furnished with sturdy furniture and high-quality chairs couches, curtains, blinds, pillows, blankets & appliances. I am picky about dishes and eating/cooking utensils, and these could have been a bit better organized. We found bowls and plates in multiple locations in the same kitchen which made for hectic dinner prep. The primary suite in the main house was beautifully staged and the laundry room is big, and the washer and dryer are top notch. The individual cabins could use a bit of updating – especially the mattresses. The absolute charm of this place lies in the nature of the property grounds. If you want to get away from the hustle this is an incredible sanctuary. The Willows Retreat is very close to Hendersonville but feels like 100 miles away. The trails are well maintained and signed – my 81-year-old father-in-law was able to get all the way to the end and back with no problem. I tried to walk down the creek bed with my 5-year-old but sadly there was a lot of broken glass and other trash in the water. My family loved skipping rocks in the pond out front. We were there in August, so the water level was rather low- not a fishing spot but still pretty. The firepit shelter is a great additional space with excellent lighting. It made for a wonderful after dinner destination for smores with the kids. My favorite part of the property was the lovely waterfall right outside the door of the main house – you can hear it perfectly from the house and sitting next to it while the kids played in the creek bed was heaven.

Conflicted
My intention is to leave a fair review of our stay - there were high highs and very low lows.
The good. The home and property is obviously beautiful. There is a lot of space, a lot of ways to enjoy the outdoor areas, plenty of sitting areas, etc. There are more than enough chairs, a fire pit, wagons to haul stuff around, etc., really just has a lot of the soft extras that make it very enjoyable.
Hendersonville is an easy 15-minute drive and is a beautiful town with a lot to do/see/enjoy. Parks, food, hikes, etc.
The bad. First, the biggest issue is with trying to communicate with Vacasa. Unless you pick up the phone and call them you wont get a response. I sent many emails and texts over the month before our stay wth no reply. Once you do get someone on the phone, they don't have a clue about the property or area. Getting answers is a pain if you're used to booking directly from a homeowner who knows every square inch of their home, amenities, and the local area.
There were a lot of annoying items like no stoppers in the tubs, a lot of stuff in the kitchen but none of it quite what you need, uncomfortable beds or beds that are smaller than the box spring under them, etc.
The biggest issue was yellow jackets. I get that you can't control nature but there were double-grapefruit-sized nests over every door or under the steps of every exit - it's negligent. Within 2 hours of arriving 3 kids were stung multiple times, before the trip was over all 9 children were stung, one went to the ER. The next morning after we arrived I reached out to Vasasa about it, and requested they send someone out asap, and they did nothing. Someone responded and said they would contact the local agent but I heard nothing until the night before our check out. It's really quite egregious. The reason you book 21 acres is because you want to enjoy the outdoor space and we were completely robbed of that. The local agent was very nice and apologetic, she recognized they completely dropped the ball and did offer a very small refund but really we're still left very frustrated, jaded, and have an ER bill that could have been avoided.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Byron! We're pleased to read that you enjoyed the prime location of our home, along with its beautiful outdoors space. We sincerely apologize for the pest and service concerns you encountered during your stay. Please know this is not the norm for our Vacasa homes, as it is never our intention to disappoint our guests. We value our guest's safety above all else, and we regret that we dropped the ball in providing you with a truly pleasant stay. Since your departure, our local management has dealt with the pests and have been notified of the maintenance concerns so they may make any necessary adjustments.

Great Stay
I stayed this past weekend for 3 nights. This cabin was clean and has a really fun setup. The hiking trails are beautiful in the fall. The firepit is a great spot to warm up and listen to the waterfall on property.
Used this property for staying the days before my wedding. All my groomsman and their families had plenty of space and room to stay. This house had an incredible view and was really well designed. Everyone enjoyed it so much. Thankful we had the opportunity to stay.
