Mountain Paradise: A 5-Star VRBO Retreat

Our stay at this mountain VRBO was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we felt at peace with the surrounding beauty of nature. The house itself was cozy yet spacious, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight of our trip was definitely the fire pit, enjoying the crisp mountain air and gazing at the starlit sky. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.The location of the house was ideal, nestled in a quiet area with a serene mountain stream nearby. The sound of the water gently flowing through the rocks was incredibly peaceful, providing a calming background throughout our stay. We spent hours just sitting by the stream, soaking in the natural beauty and enjoying the tranquility.One of the unexpected joys was the farming community that surrounded us. The locals were incredibly friendly, always ready with a smile and a story about the area. It was a wonderful experience that gave us a real sense of the area’s charm and authenticity.Overall, our stay was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The combination of a beautiful home, breathtaking scenery, and a warm, welcoming community made this trip one to remember. We can’t wait to return!

Great little house in a great location

This little house was perfect for my family (2 adults, 2 children). The property is in a nice and quiet locatIon. We met some of the neighbors who were just wonderful! My children, especially my son, enjoyed the setting and the creek in the front yard. We had some turkeys visit one afternoon and enjoyed watch them peck around the yard. This is a location we would love to return to someday.

Wonderful Get Away

Lovely mountainside home with all the extras we needed. The drive to Asheville was 20 minutes or so. Good restaurants and galleries in downtown Asheville. So sad for the destruction in town after Hurricane Helene. We got out ahead of the storm. This is a very nice property and Stephen, the owner is responsive and helpful. Would stay there again.

Just what we needed

This property was roomy and had plenty of space available if we wanted to have the rest of the family out for dinner and a visit. Comfortable and cozy. Dining table is a classic old farm house-large and sturdy. Bathrooms and bedrooms were a nice size. Bed was comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. Mornings were below 30 and the heaters provided kept us warm and comfortable. We didn’t even use them all. If we are back in the area we would consider this again.

Peace and quiet

Loved the way we felt surrounded by the mountains. It was so serene and peaceful. Close enough to the city to enjoy it, far enough away to escape. In town for a softball tournament, we opted for a house instead of a hotel. It was a winner. Would stay here again and recommend to all. Very spacious inside and out and the game room was a hit!

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

I had a wonderful stay for a long weekend away with my sister. This was the perfect place for us. Loved the location! Close enough to Asheville to drive for food or shopping. Also good for a day trip to Cherokee. Really enjoyed sitting on the porch and deck and listening to the sound of the stream down the hill. Was very private but not totally secluded. Would definitely visit again.

Mountain home

The area was beautiful, creek running through front of property. Large yard, Porch and balcony with lots of seating options, including a porch swing. Inside was spacious downstair, main bedroom large, but 2nd bedroom small and beds were lumpy and hard. However...fire places don't work, couple of space heaters were the only heat, except in main bed had a window unit for air & heat. Bathrooms were freezing. There were spider webs and all kinds of spiders every where! Game tables advertised in garage are all in bad shape & missing parts to play. Over all we would not stay here again.

Nothing short of a country paradise!

The property was large, with plenty of woods to explore if that's your thing. Fire pit is great and the rocking chairs and porch swings made for a great beginning and ending of our day. The beds were very comfortable and there is WiFi. You'll need it if you need any communication because cell service is slim to none. But that's the part I enjoyed the most. We will definitely be back!

Great little getaway spot

This is a very quaint house. It’s a perfect place to get away and have peace and quiet. This is not luxury by any means but it was well worth what we paid for. There were 6 of us. Two of us old folks found it hard to climb the stairs to the bedrooms but the rest of our crew had no problems. I LOVED the porch swing upstairs and the grandkids loved playing corn hole on 2nd floor wrap around porch. The only issue we had were the upstairs TV wouldn’t come on and the trash can was overflowing outside. We didn’t use the game room but it looked great.

Everything we had hoped for

The location was perfect for our trip. The area was quiet and peaceful, and we got to see wild turkeys! We went to Asheville and Mt Mitchell and came back to a comfortable cabin. The firewood was well seasoned, and our questions were quickly answered. The cabin wasn't booked the day we left so we were allowed a late check out, which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this property and can see myself going back again.

Spring break

We stayed here three nights for a quick spring break trip to Asheville. The house is about thirty minutes from Asheville. It was a great place to stay. Communication was excellent. The WiFi was a great connection. The game room is in a detached garage. If you are staying and spending a lot of time at the house there is a lot to keep you entertained. The master room is a great setup for families with a separate bed area but some privacy from the master bedroom. Overall I would recommend and stay here again.

Amazing Retreat

Beautiful and serene. Nothing is far from this place, but it is quiet and secluded with a creek flowing I’m front of the property adding ambiance. Morning sunrise views are spectacular. Wi-Fi was good. Kitchen had all necessary pots, pans, dishes and silverware. This is true country living with some modern updates! Will return!

We had an amazing stay

This place we was perfect to get away from this busy life so much trees and we were in the woods big area with fireplace and grill. What an amazing experience I recommend this place to everyone. This place has lots of plates utensils things for cooking. A big table for a family. Lots of blankets pillows and towels.

Zip and Slip tubing and Arboretum and more. Communication was great I was a bit annoying texting about everything but owner did a great job at always responding at a timely manner. Homes was clean and organized. Thank you for an awesome experience.

Things to improve

There are two things to improve, the sponge in the kitchen appears to be used by several other people because it was really dirty, plus is not sanitary to leave a used sponge to a new guest. The other is the neighbor waking up at 9 AM shooting behind his house for almost an hour. Those two issues should be addressed. Other than that everything was great!

Good, Bad, and Ugly

The good: the location was great. Very close to Asheville. Very quiet and close to the highway to get to hiking. The air conditioner in the living room worked great! The wifi covered the entire house well. The upstairs bathroom looked newly renovated. The mattresses were comfortable. The bad: the ac in the master bedroom is a window unit that barely worked. The ac unit in the 2nd bedroom was a window unit that worked well but was so loud it woke me up every time it came on. The appliances, dishes, pots and pans were old and very well used and several were not clean. I spent the first night cleaning everything by hand. The ugly: the entire place needed a deep cleaning. While some surfaces seemed clean (microwave and counters), as we used the house we saw how dirty it was. Walking the floor the first day barefoot led to black bottoms on our feet. There was food stuck on a pot and cookie sheet and a dried elbow noodle on the dining room table. The dishwasher wasn't bolted into the wall and tipped every time we opened it. The listing advertises a game room with ping pong, Foosball, and air hockey. It's in the garage that is covered with dirt and spider webs. Several ping pong balls were abandoned bc the spiders claimed them. Overall, the bad and ugly did not ruin our stay. The location and peace and quiet more than made up for it. Would we stay there again? Not unless it was deep cleaned and the ac units were replaced.

Great location, loved hearing the creek, semi-isolated. Plenty of room for our family of 6. Stocked kitchen, clean sheets and towels. Window ac upstairs does not do much, fortunately weather was nice.
