Quality Home Convenient to Airport
Well appointed home in upscale neighborhood. Just 8-10 minutes from the airport. Convenient to many restaurants, pickleball courts, downtown and Asheville offerings. Great central location.
The home was clean and spacious. It was just what we needed. The location was perfect for our visit with friends and family in South Asheville. Very highly recommend this place!

Great for a girls trip!
Stayed here for a girls trip and it was everything we needed and more! Big enough that everyone had their own space, but designed in a way that you were always with someone! The house was extremely clean and well stocked when we arrived and the Guest Services rep was extremely friendly and quick to problem solve when our AC went out!!! Would stay here again!!
We loved everything about the facility the amenities the space the sleeping quarters the distance that it takes to get from point A to point b when we want to travel and find things we would definitely recommend this property to all of our friends looking forward to our next day with your company
We had 15 people total and every one had there space, it had the supplies needed so we all was very pleased with our stay…we had great afternoon grilling on the deck watching the kids play in this spacious backyard..thanks for allowing us in your home
We were able to find a large, comfortable home to hold our 11 adults and 2 young children with ample room for sleeping, gathering and outside fun.
My son in laws were able to use a private office to work several days and my grandsons enjoyed the theatre room in the basement. Great option offered which provided everything we needed!
Beautiful area, great location. Easy drive to downtown Asheville. Clean house, very comfortable beds, big open kitchen into great room, large dining room. Vacas was very easy to talk with and flexible for early check-in and a late check out. I would give a 4+. Just a few minor fixes and a deep clean would be a plus. Would still highly recommend!
The bathtub on the too floor did not drain. The air conditioning was not working well at all. Very warm!! The. Rest of our stay was great! Great location and plenty of rooms for our big family!
Lovely home, would be great for a large family. Relatively close to downtown Asheville. Close-by restaurants. Big yard child friendly. We were thinking of renting next year for a month but the location was not what we were looking for, but could be perfect for others depending on expectations and needs. All TV’s, appliances in good order. Asheville is a lovely small city to visit, we’re very happy overall.
It's a beautiful home and very large space!! It is The home in a great location! Large enough for the 15 people staying there. The concerns were that there was not really enough seating for all of us to sit in the living room area together or to eat at the dining room table together. The front porch steps had a broken area that needed repair, the upstairs bathroom needed a new shower curtain because there is mold on it, hair was also in the drain. The master bathroom shower leaked as well.
The house is nice. The location is great. Beds were comfy. Kitchen worked nicely.
Only advice is to be very careful out on the deck at night. The 3-4 steps from the upper to lower deck are very hard to see at night and no handrail to assist. Make sure ALL the outside lights are on for the best visibility of the steps. Dark brown steps on dark brown deck in the dark is not a good combination.

Needs lots of TLC
Sleeps plenty & clean. however, pretty worn out. not enough table space/ chairs to sit and eat or congregate as a group. (Inside or out) A/C not working, wifi spotty, kitchen tap not working properly. Not enough serving bowls, Only 1x bathroom upstairs for 4 bedrooms (5th room has master)
My family gathered for my mother’s funeral & it was the perfect house to accommodate our group of 12 coming from out of town. (We brought 2 air mattresses & used the office space as well). About 10 minutes from the Asheville airport, it was centrally located between Hendersonville, where the church service was held, and Black Mountain, for the burial. There was room to sit & look through photos, dine together and take walks in the lovely neighborhood. There is a swing set that our four-year-old enjoyed and a nice terrace area with one side in the open air and the other screened in. The downside was very weak WiFi, and those who wanted to login to work during our stay or use streaming platforms experienced issues connecting. Overall, it was a good place for a family reunion.
