Quiet Getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at Blessed with Beauty. I am taking the time to write a review because the previous reviewers helped me make the decision to book this place even though I was hesitant. They were right. This place is a gem. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The house was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated for the holidays. We had all the amenities we could possibly need. The kitchen was fully equipped. The location was perfect—just a short drive to downtown Asheville. We loved being able to explore different areas of town and then return to our cozy retreat to relax.Overall, we were very impressed. We will definitely book again. We highly recommend Blessed with Beauty for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. Thank you Al & Linda for an amazing experience!

Excellent stay, exceeds expectation

The pictures do not do justice to this place. We stayed during Christmas, and were wowed from the moment we walked in the door. The place is not large, but every corner is carefully planned and decorated. We had an issue late at night with the access code, I was thinking there is no way we could reach the host at 11:30PM. To our surprise, someone answered and resolved our issue quickly over the phone. We loved this place, everything is carefully planned and placed with instructions. My wife and I may make this our new Christmas tradition to stay here.

AMAZING STAY

This house was very charming, well stocked, and very clean! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and 10/10 recommend this for anyone. There were so many amenities inside and outside as well as a gym and salon next door that you could use. The hosts were amazing and I cannot say enough good things! If you’re looking to stay somewhere close to Asheville without staying directly in the city this is perfect. A close drive to everything.

Snowed in and loved it

We came to enjoy the winter storm and we weren't disappointed 😊. The home is adorable and very well stocked. The hosts went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. When the power flickered due to the storm and knocked the internet out, they immediately came down to fix it. They also graciously provided us medine when we couldn't get to the store. We would absolutely stay there again!

Great Location and Property

Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at this home. Fantastic owners and extra clean. There was literally everything available in the home we needed or wanted and was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The extra towels and supplies were wonderful. As VRBO hosts ourselves, we know what to look for and really appreciated the personal touches and helpfulness of the owners and their attentiveness. Look forward to staying again and highly recommend.

Girl's weekend

I stayed with my two adult daughters for a long weekend and this was the perfect accommodation for us. 2 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms a king and a queen bed. The apartment is a little dark, due to smaller windows, but has lots of light fixtures (and switches). It is furnished and decorated lovingly and we found so much generosity for guests in every corner of the place - shampoo in every bathroom, plush and nicely arranged towels, perfectly equipped kitchen, coffee, snacks etc. (I could go on here). We definitely felt more than welcomed. Thank you so much for being such a nice and kind host!

Getaway to Asheville

This property was a nice and cute stay for our weekend getaway. Everything was clean, and the check-in process was easy. I would like to just give a few suggestions. I would recommend having some water in the fridge for guests. I also noticed a lot of noise from the upstairs residence, which sounded like children running around. This can be disturbing for guests. Overall this was a good place and was not too far from Asheville.

Great accommodations and hosts

My wife and I were here a month while looking for a new home in the area. It fit our needs perfectly, newly remodeled and very comfy with every amenity. The owners, kind and wonderful people, live nearby and operate the adjacent business in front of this rental, but you wont notice that as there is no traffic noise or associated issues. Renters can actually use the facilities too, with only an appointment necessary. The location is quiet but not remote and centrally located between Black Mountain and Asheville. Nice hiking trails nearby, and escape to the beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway is less than 10 minutes away.
