Beautiful house! Amazing inside and out!
Beautiful house, my family of five stayed here and we didn't want to leave! Well stocked up with coffee and everything you might need. We barely had time to enjoy everything that the house had to offer (we mostly spent our time in the pool and game room). Amazing inside and out! Responsive hosts and beautiful neighborhood. The lower level has a massive TV so movie night was a hit after swimming all day.
The remodeled home was exceptional for our family of 10 and a baby. The home was well stocked with everything we needed from coffee to extra towels! The host responded quickly to any of our needs! The home was spacious and well designed from the game room to the office! Our only complaint is we didn’t have a few more days to enjoy it! Thanks for a great vacation!!!

With my large family this house was an absolute delight.
With my large family this house was an absolute delight. It's beautiful, spacious , very well maintained and so nicely stocked with supplies, linens, all the basic needs and more. I highly recommend this location. I'm so impressed I've stayed at a few rental houses and this one by far was the most accommodating. It's a beautiful property and so nicely appointed. I really admired the decor too. Very nicely done and no clutter. I've been in some that look like a hobby lobby stock room. This was just right.

Girls Trip! OurOwn Private Resort!
Girls Trip — Our Own Private Resort!
This home blew away our original hotel plans and we couldn't be happier! The beautiful pool area and outdoor area, spacious layout, and enough bedrooms and bathrooms for each of us to have our own made it feel like a private resort.
The home was immaculately clean and fully equipped — great kitchen, a stocked coffee bar, giant screened TV lounge, and a fun game room. The host was responsive and attentive, making everything smooth from arrival onward.
A huge part of what made this trip special was the quality of the accommodations, the stunning views, and the wonderful variety of activities the property made possible — from poolside relaxing to game nights and everything in between. Perfect for girlfriends' getaways or family gatherings. We would absolutely return!

This was an amazing stay! Would definitely stay here again.
This was an amazing stay! Hosts were extremely responsive and reasonable to requests. Would definitely stay here again. Very close to mountains and Asheville.
We discovered the dryer was broken on our 3rd day. Reported it to Mighty Tree management who first said that they would be sending someone out to fix it the next day. Then they communicated that they were going to just replace it with a new dryer the next day. No repairman, no new dryer, no further communication ever showed up after that. We left on day 6 with wet and dirty laundry and no word from the management company.

Great stay
Great stay! It was perfect for our family gathering with young kids.
We had a wonderful stay! We'll go back by the end of next year!
We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It was one of the few places we found that was truly pet-friendly, which meant a lot to us. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. perfect for a family vacation. We didn't even feel the need to go out because the home itself kept us entertained with the games and amenities provided. Everything was well maintained, and communication with the host was great throughout our stay. We're already planning another booking with them by the end of next year and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!
Beautiful spacious property with gorgeous views and short trips to anything you could need.
