Each bedroom was nicely supplied with linens, extra blankets, towels, washcloths, and make up remover wipes! They really go above and beyond and our group will likely return again!

Close to Asheville with a Pool

We loved the pool and the location. It's an easy 20 minute drive to downtown Asheville. You won't find any place closer with a heated pool and hot tub. The Ingles grocery store just a few miles away is a quality grocery store. I was worried we'd have to truck all the way to Whole Foods. The owner is responsive and helpful.

Wonderful family mountain getaway!

This was an excellent house for a family mountain getaway. The game room and the hot tub were a huge hit with the kids. The house was spacious, well decorated and clean. The house was also stocked with supplies including soap, shampoo, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc., which is always a nice bonus. The caretaker was very responsive to a couple of issues we had. We would highly recommend this property!

Family stay

We rented this property for a long family birthday weekend. We immediately were greeted with a text making sure we had everything we needed. The home was well equipped with plenty of supplies and equipment. There was lots of room for all of us and plenty to do including pool table, ping pong, fooseball, etc. The theater and seats were a nice added activity. The pool and area are well maintained. My only suggestion would be an umbrella or two for those of us who need some shade while enjoying the pool. We would definitely rent the home again.
