The house was clean and the floor plan was perfect. Great views out the front and back. Two great sitting decks. The host lives next door and was personable and helpful. The road to this place was a challenge.

The property was very comfortable, modern, and the kitchen extremely well stocked. The home had all the comfort amenities making it feel like our home away from home. The location is very private, but yet the location to Asheville was perfect. I'd highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the Asheville area.

Could not have asked for a better place to stay for our Asheville vacation. We spent the mornings drinking coffee on the porch watching hummingbirds. Centrally located to the different area activities without being in town. Beds were super comfy, kitchen was well stocked, even had doggy treats for our furry family member. Highly recommend and would stay again.

My friends and I rented this house for a weekend getaway. It was so clean and beautiful and the hosts are top notch! It's a little off the beaten path, but we found it easy to navigate and only 15 minutes from downtown. Peaceful, surrounded by nature, and very well supplied and maintained. I highly recommend this house and these hosts!

House was clean and just as advertised. Picture perfect. House representative was easy to get ahold of. Perfect distance from Ashville, and but close enough to to a grocery store to stay homein and enjoy the scenery

Amazing stay, and hospitality! We loved this property and the owners. We felt welcomed and had a great family vacation. The only thing we needed to worry about was food, this place had everything else we needed. Thank you for the amazing place, amazing customer service and memories to last a lifetime. Ps-the pictures doesn't do this property justice.

Wonderful house only about 20 mins from downtown Asheville. Only thing to consider is this is UPHILL on a mountain with a gravel road/driveway so be cautious if you a smaller/older car and not all wheel drive

This adorable mountain home with back deck and front porch and every ammenity was perfect for our family. The owners were amazing and the home, especially kitchen had every detail thought of like you were in your own home. It was easy to drive back and forth to Ashville while staying up on a mountain and feeling like you were really away. Lots of hiking and beautiful fall folliage. Home was exactly as shown in photos. Our minivan made it up the mountain. Altough make sure you go up the left side and not the right if you don't have an SUV.

Absolutely a dream week. Well appointed kitchen stocked with everything you would need. Light and bright decor is well designed, open and comfortable. Nice deck in the back with grill invites having a relaxed evening meal at tree top level. This place is very clean with nice linens in bed and bath. The location is remote and the road ruggedly vertical making this place a perfect retreat.

Perfect cabin for a stay near Asheville, NC. The hosts thought of everything. Clean, comfortable, cute, movies, board games, lots of linens and blankets. The living space is large and open. Sandbox, swing, fire pit, back porch w/ grill. The list goes on and on. It was wonderful!
