Comfortable, well-furnished house. Communication with the host was extremely smooth. Quiet neighborhood, perfect access to Asheville and the mountains!
The house was well located for our plans, as we had expected. It was in a quiet and very pleasant neighborhood with plenty of space for everyone in our party to have peace and privacy after long.travel days. You asked about the laundry, yes it was nice to have the facilities available, but we far more enjoyed having a kitchen that allowed us to breakfast on our own and not have to go out to early. A lovely stay!
When we started to make coffee the first morning, we saw that the coffeemaker hadn't been cleaned from the previous user - the used coffee grounds were still in there. Made us a bit nervous about the cleaning protocol.It would have been nice to have a box of kleenex in the bathrooms. Two of the 3 of us found our beds to be overly firm for a good night's sleep. The location was perfect for us & the living room furniture was really comfortable for conversation.
The house was ideally located—just minutes from downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It had all the amenities our family needed for a comfortable stay. Megan was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to check in early and quickly resolving a small issue when a remote was missing upstairs by having one delivered the very next day. She was a fantastic communicator throughout our stay, and we truly appreciated her responsiveness and hospitality.
Check in process was very easy - the host was very communicative and responsive when there was a slight issue upon arrival. The house was clean and check out was made as easy as can be
The property was extremely clean and comfortable, had every amenity we could need, and was very convenient to downtown Asheville. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.
This place was awesome it has everything you need is very clean, spacious and very relaxing 1000% recommended.

Thank you Samuel for such a kind review! It was a pleasure to host you and your family. We'd love to do so again in the future and appreciate how well you took care of our rental during your stay.
Second time to rent this property as I love the neighborhood and the closeness to the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Biltmore Estate, a grocery store, a couple gas stations, and downtown Asheville. Very peaceful setting and this time was thrilled to see a black bear walk past the house on his way to forage for food in the woods. Would rent again if visiting Asheville in the future.

Great property
This is a great property; well stocked and clean. Beds are firm, which we loved. Could use more towels for extended stays. The only downside to this property was the stairs. They were extremely slippery when wearing socks which was hazardous.

Hey Charlene,
Thank you so much for your feedback on the stairs. We have changed the cleaning solution to resolve this issue.

The home was almost as described. It is spacious, beds were comfortable, both bathrooms were clean and the washer & dryer were great. It is on a steep grade and in a great location. The home is in a great location and had easy access to downtown and surrounding areas. We were working at Camp Cedar Cliff, on the Billy Graham Training Center Campus, building tiny homes for people displaced by the flooding. This home was only about 5 miles from the camp.
Thank You for having this home open with a reasonable price. It was awesome!
15 minutes to Ashville and 5 minutes to Blue Ridge Parkway. It is up on a hill, and parking is limited. There is no easy way to get in from lower level parking.
The property looks new and is very clean. Property manager is responsive. Good place for a family, especially with older children
The mattresses were not great - especially in the downstairs bedroom (we turned it over or wouldn't have been able to stay there). And we could have used more hand towels. Otherwise, it worked very well for us - 6 adults, Kitchen was well equipped, grill was great, house was clean and well located for us near family and very close to the Blue Ridge.

Fantastic stay!
I stayed with old friends for 3 nights and had a great time. The location was excellent: a short drive from everything we wanted to do but tucked away so we felt relaxed. The two living spaces were great. Although we mostly stayed upstairs, the option to split up was helpful. The house was very clean and had most of what we needed. We used some of the area suggestions she gave for food and were never disappointed. The Ingles grocery savings card was also a nice touch. I contacted Megan once during our stay and she responded immediately and helped solve the issue. Overall, an excellent trip. We all agreed we'd definitely stay there again and have already recommended Megan's house to friends.
Check in was great. The heat did not work on the main floor and only blew cool air. The heat upstairs started working on the second night. Luckily we had good weather. The middle slat of the master bed was broken and made sleep difficult and woke up sore every morning. My husband slept better on the couch than on the bed. We had a great time, just wished we didn’t have issues.
Great location! Centrally located to Asheville, the Biltmore estate and Blue Ridge Mountains. Owner of the property is super nice and the check-in and check-out is easy. Home is really clean and well equipped for everything you need.
The beds are comfortable and the 2 bathrooms are a great size. Some of the cons are the steep and slippery wooden stairs going up to the 2nd level of the home. Carpeting the stairs and adding additional lighting would be a great idea. The two sofas in the home are old and lumpy and it wouldn't cost the owner much to replace them. Would be great if the blinds in the house were replaced as they are old and dont provide adequate privacy. All in all, it's a great place! I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!!
