Family trip

Very comfortable home and good location. We went to Asheville for a family birthday and went to Sierra Nevada Brewery. This home is a great location to get to the brewery. Our only complaint was the proximity to the airport and plane noise. The airport isn’t that busy, but you can definitely hear the planes.

Little piece of heaven

There were 4 of us who stayed here for a girls weekend. The house was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. We had to reach out to the property manager a couple of times and she was very responsive. The house has everything you could want in a rental. The location is centrally located to Asheville, the Biltmore, hiking, waterfalls and scenic drives. It is near the airport but the planes didnt bother is in any way. I would definitely stay here again.

The perfect Getaway!!

Loved everything about this place! 5 star forsure! So sorry we didn’t follow the book upon check-out… our fault. We never read the book in the house, as directed. Only saw it at check-out and we were running a little bit late. Thought closer to check-out would be more preferable. Thank you for such a lovely home. It was everything the description described.

Home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice, clean home. Large master bedroom. Fairly well appointed kitchen.Minor issue it terms of noise was it is near an airport and I don't think that was disclosed (or I didn't notice).Also, the warnings about the bears are true. We had a bear visit the yard to get some fruit and stroll around. No danger (we didn't approach it).

Mountain Retreat

I was celebrating my 40th with a few girlfriends and we chose to stay here as it was a little more private than downtown Asheville. It was very easy to drive to downtown for shopping and food, however, if you are planning to take an Uber, it is challenging to get someone to pick up at this location. The house was very nice and had all cooking items you might need. The front porch and back deck had plenty of seats to enjoy the outdoors. The neighbor's dog would frequently come by (which was fine with us), but if you're not a dog lover, just be aware. Lots of wildlife nearby and the house was generally clean -- some minor things were not as clean, but nothing terrible. Check in and check out was very easy. This house is 1 mile from the airport but plane noise wasn't bad. There are grocery stores, restaurants, and other stores very near by. We had a great time overall and if you have a small, quiet group, I'd recommend this spot.

Picturesque location outside the city

The property is gorgeous and huge. If you’re looking to stay outside the city and have space to spread out, I would highly recommend. It’s about 20-25 minutes to Asheville and right next to the airport.

My son and his wife came in from Germany. We all met at this property for a long weekend with one grandchild in tow. This house was a great size for 6 adults and one child. Everyone was happy with this house and it was as advertised and better. We loved the Kan Jam game.
