We have stayed at many VRBO’s in Asheville and surrounding areas while visiting our relatives, and this was by far our favorite! The home is so beautifully decorated and welcoming from the moment you enter. We loved seeing the beautiful Christmas trees and decor! We also enjoyed the sunsets and sunrise views each morning, while relaxing with coffee on one of the decks. Also should mention that the host very generously supplied coffee, fully stocked kitchen and amenities and extra special treats. Thank you for hosting our family!

Summer Getaway

Property is located central to a lot of great hiking and fly fishing locations. It's also not a far drive into Asheville to enjoy a nice brunch downtown. The house is very spacious. Internet is slow if you want to try doing anything work related there, but they do have a nice desk downstairs. The exercise equipment is clean and works well. With how hot and humid it was in NC the a/c was struggling a little which made it musty downstairs but the two bedrooms upstairs didn't have issues. Kitchen is well stocked and the living space upstairs is very comfortable. The listing information felt very accurate and the owners were quick to respond.

Stay in May

The house was lovely and suited our needs well. It was very comfortable with plenty of room. The porch was well used by us. We had cool weather during our stay, which we thoroughly enjoyed since we live in Florida. It was a nice place to sit and read! The kitchen was well equipped although we could have used a few more china dishes and a toaster.... While there was traffic noise on the porch, its proximity to Boylston Hwy was convenient. Although the entry road was not a problem for us, it would have been nice to know that it is a single lane. Once familiar with it, it was fine, but first. impression was a surprise. Overall, it was a perfect fit for our visit and we would consider renting there again.
