Great second stay!

This was our second time at this property. We really like small town atmosphere, the convenience of the park, grocery store and restaurants. Get the garlic knots from Brick! My son likes to watch the firetrucks next door. Lynn is always helpful and keeps the place clean and stocked with some staples. There were snacks upon arrival which really helped with our hungry teens. We enjoyed bringing our little 7lb chihuhua mix. She loved relaxing with us for the week! Thank you! We'll be back!

Fantastic Amazing Wonderful!

This is THE place to stay for any activity and especially for Equestrian Events. Lynn was great and helped us with local places to eat and check out between events. There is a fantastic dog park within minutes of the home. Its was very calm, quiet, and relaxing. The pool, hot tub, and Grill were very welcoming after a day out!! Looking forward to another trip !!!

Disrespectful Owner

The house was beautiful, that I will say. This is what she just sent me, Lynne sent a message 9 hours ago "Ive heard your partner was complaining to my guests next door, while saying to my face the house was so wonderful. You need to check your non credentials for renting any house on ----------- and Vrbo. Even of its paid by someoneelses credit card." First off my Wife not my partner, invited her other guest over and that woman, told her about how, the owner would show up at anytime. The owner destroyed, her pets toys and yelled at her for leaving the pets toys outside. My wife told the other guest how Lynne made our granddaughter uncomfortable and how she made my wife stay outside, while she showed me the house. Most of the light switches in the pool room didn't work. The microwave had a dish plate inside, instead of a proper plate. The front door handle did not work correctly. She texted me that she had to water her flowers and check the pool and because of that my granddaughter hid in a room until she left. She also had the nerve to send me this, Lynne sent a message 9 hours ago "Please dont review my home….that will only create problems. Your week staying was my worst nightmare…." How dare she, my wife paid for this trip for my birthday and to tell me not to leave a review or else. Who does this woman think she is? Oh I forgot to mention she has a broken ceiling fan hanging over the pool. That is a severe safety issue. I will formally file a complaint with Vrbo.

Extended family vacation

This was our second visit to Lynne’s property. We first discovered it in 2020 during Covid when we wanted a place where we didn’t have to be around other people. Lynne is a wonderful host and we love the little town of Columbus. It is a great town to walk around. There are several restaurant options. The kids did a day of zip lining. And we enjoyed the pool every day. Lynne is available but not intrusive and makes sure you have whatever you need. The house is not luxurious but has a cute cottage feel. We also rented the little one bedroom guest cottage next door so that we had an additional bedroom. It worked out well for a large family gathering.

Our dog drowned!!!!

The pool room is unsafe and lacks several safety regulations. While we were away for the day with our pets (two small dogs) securely safe inside, someone entered the home and left the sliding door to the pool open. when We returned that afternoon, we found our dog dead and floating in the pool. The pool door was wide open. House Bill 1065 outlines the regulations for an indoor pool and this house is clearly out of regulations. There is no self closing and latching door, no alarm on the door, no cover on the pool, no depth markers, no flotation devices. The pool rules are listed but if that door were self closing with an alarm, my dog would still be alive. It would be a great place without the pool as an attractive nuisance.

Yes there IS a BIG indoor swimming pool!

This older house was very clean and its eclectic furniture has been thoughtfully collected by a world traveller. The pool is surprisingly large perhaps 30’ long and 12’ wide by my eye, I didn’t put a tape measure to it. Our Fall weather was unusually warm so the neither the space heat nor the pool heat were tested by cold weather. With the second full bathroom (with shower-tub combo) located in the pool area you can bet it’s heated in winter. We were in Columbus for a wedding and never ate a meal in the house but the host graciously provided a new bag of fine Gavalia ground coffee, filters and a Mr Coffee drip maker which helped us launch every day. Thank you. The portable dishwasher didn’t get a workout from us. Without directions on how to connect the hoses to the sink faucet we opted to hand wash our coffee cups. I would have appreciated brighter reading lamps for reading on the large, comfortable couch. We did not watch TV but there was a flat screen in every bedroom. The wi-fi was true broadband and my Verizon signal was 4 bars. The front porch and the back deck are very comfortable and furnished with tables chairs and a shade umbrella. The county fire house is next door but over our four day stay we never heard a siren or even a loud horn. Trust me my 6 month old granddaughter would have heard any of those noises day or night and woken up the household. That never happened and She slept quietly all night. The town of 3,800 souls is pleasant and it’s Main Street is a two block walk just past the large city park. I was surprised that the old retail stores and restaurants were occupied and seemed prosperous making it a great small town experience. The surrounding area is rural and beautiful with a world class equestrian center, mountain hiking and pretty lakes. Asheville is a short drive down a modern interstate.
