The previous reviews of this VRBO property were so outstanding, I felt pretty confident, that I'd located just the right place for two travelers to land for a week-long vacation. First off, I'd have to say that ease and availability in contact with the owner made me feel comfortable with any future communication including questions. That can give renters a prelude to how everything goes from there: the cleanliness, the way the home was equipped to every thoughtful detail, the location and accuracy of the info and a seamless check-in process. There is more to the story of how thoughtful, and prepared these owners are, but you will have to find out for yourselves. :-) I was quite surprised since I've rented a few homes recently, and these owners far surpassed the others before them. Of course it's only my personal opinion, but to me, they are the high standard in which to consider other places.
Downtown was easily accessible with a great vibe, restaurants, and shops included. Grocery stores including Publix, and Fresh Market were super-convenient, located only a half a mile away. Hendersonville, is a lovely place to visit, access to nearby activities including wineries, (we visited 5!) and hiking before you even get near to Asheville, less than 30 minutes away. Zip-lining in the morning, (highly recommend Navitat Canopy Adventures: Asheville!) Hiking at Dupont Forest, and nearby Hickory Nut Falls for some waterfall hikes, followed by afternoon winery visits. Can't leave out the NC Arboretum, located at outside portion of the Pisgah National Forest. You just can't go wrong!! Heading back into downtown Hendersonville for great food at Shine, Postero, or our personal favorite Mezzaluna. (Courtney, the owner is a gem!)
Other days we were happy to enjoy the quiet location of this beautiful rental, since it was very relaxing with two porches, plenty of room to spread out (even for many more people) loads of lounging space, rooms and TV's. We saw and did so much at an easy pace from this location that I look forward to a return visit, knowing that we can enjoy many more adventures here.
Thank you Jim and Michelle for making this terrific property available and for all you did for us!!
