Great spot for large group
Beautiful area, great location. Easy drive to downtown Asheville. Clean house, very comfortable beds, big open kitchen into great room, large dining room. Vacas was very easy to talk with and flexible for early check-in and a late check out. I would give a 4+. Just a few minor fixes and a deep clean would be a plus. Would still highly recommend!

Beautiful home for a Women's Retreat
It's a beautiful home and very large space!! It is The home in a great location! Large enough for the 15 people staying there. The concerns were that there was not really enough seating for all of us to sit in the living room area together or to eat at the dining room table together. The front porch steps had a broken area that needed repair, the upstairs bathroom needed a new shower curtain because there is mold on it, hair was also in the drain. The master bathroom shower leaked as well.

Nice, spacious home
My family gathered for my mother’s funeral & it was the perfect house to accommodate our group of 12 coming from out of town. (We brought 2 air mattresses & used the office space as well). About 10 minutes from the Asheville airport, it was centrally located between Hendersonville, where the church service was held, and Black Mountain, for the burial. There was room to sit & look through photos, dine together and take walks in the lovely neighborhood. There is a swing set that our four-year-old enjoyed and a nice terrace area with one side in the open air and the other screened in. The downside was very weak WiFi, and those who wanted to login to work during our stay or use streaming platforms experienced issues connecting. Overall, it was a good place for a family reunion.

Great House But....
The house is nice. The location is great. Beds were comfy. Kitchen worked nicely. Only advice is to be very careful out on the deck at night. The 3-4 steps from the upper to lower deck are very hard to see at night and no handrail to assist. Make sure ALL the outside lights are on for the best visibility of the steps. Dark brown steps on dark brown deck in the dark is not a good combination.

Neighborhood Stay
Lovely home, would be great for a large family. Relatively close to downtown Asheville. Close-by restaurants. Big yard child friendly. We were thinking of renting next year for a month but the location was not what we were looking for, but could be perfect for others depending on expectations and needs. All TV’s, appliances in good order. Asheville is a lovely small city to visit, we’re very happy overall.

We were able to find a large, comfortable home to hold our 11 adults and 2 young children with ample room for sleeping, gathering and outside fun. My son in laws were able to use a private office to work several days and my grandsons enjoyed the theatre room in the basement. Great option offered which provided everything we needed!

Holiday Getaway
My family stayed for the holiday . Everything was perfect but the first day when we didn’t have any hot water . I immediately call the host and they fixed it right away. We didn’t have any issues after that. My family loved the house and the location. I would of least loved to have a TV in each room but other than that they were all decorated nicely and cleaned . This is perfect for a large group and close to great restaurants and stores .

Great house, poor communication
I’ll start by saying we really enjoyed the layout of the house and quiet location. However, we ran into several issues with the house during our stay and the property manager’s communication was horrible. It took them hours if not days to acknowledge our requests. I was frustrated with how much time I spent trying to get a hold of them during our trip. I think it would be beneficial for them to make sure appliances and restrooms are functioning prior to allowing guests to book.

Won’t stay here again!
What a disappointment! From the unsafe and broken steps at the entrance, to urine stains on all the toilets and dirty sheets, this house needs a deep cleaning and repairs. At check-in, we saw only one cleaning person was assigned to this huge house. Understandably, she was unable to do an acceptable job of cleaning and sanitizing the house. Sheets were still in the dryer and the majority of the beds were left undone or with stained sheets that had bodily fluids. Even after notifying the property manager immediately of the issues, we were accused post-checkout of “trashing” the house. The false accusation was related to previous renters, but the management company failed to complete an inspection prior to us checking in. We will never stay at this property and do not recommend that others do so either!
