Came into town for my daughter‘s graduation and brought Family with me. The home was clean. Had all the needed kitchen appliances, basic supplies, and more. Living room was cozy. Had warm blankets, comfortable pillows, andwas clean. All appliances worked well. Great washer and dryer. Comfortable beds and pillows. Great back porch with sitting area plus front porch with sitting area and fire place area as well. Lovely neighborhood easy and close to restaurants and downtown Asheville. The owner is great with communication and made the process very easy. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
The check-in process was pretty straight forward except it didn't work very well. We got in after my nephew found the sliding back door unlocked. Then when we went to leave we could not get it locked again. I found a key in the driveway which I put on the end table. The house was nice, beds comfortable, kitchen clean. Could use a few more coffee cups. The bathroom door upstairs wouldn't shut all the way. We enjoyed the firepit outside one night and even got to see a pileated woodpecker. The house is close enough to town and the Biltmore.
