Great stay
Great stay! It was perfect for our family gathering with young kids.
This place was fabulous! The owner communicated daily to make sure everything was satisfactory. It is pet friendly with a small fenced in area for your pets to play. The pool was heaven on earth. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely reccomend and stay again. Plenty of room for everyone!! The theater room was amazing with the massage recliners. Its close to everything you need but still so peaceful.

Great. Especially for big groups
Great place to be in the Asheville area especially for big groups. The place to big enough to accomodate big groups without you feeling packed together. Quiet neighbourhood if you need some peace.
Was looking for a place for our family to spend the week together. We have grand children ranging from 1 to 21 and adults parents with all different ideas of a fun time. This area and house had something for everyone.

Great house all around
Great house! Extremely clean. Host was quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend.
Brought our 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The pool, theatre room and game room were big successes to all. About 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville. Plenty of room for all to be quite comfortable.

Will be back!
This home is gorgeous and very accommodating! The host offers lots of extras such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and extra toilet paper to name a few. 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!
Property was great. Thought we would have views of the mountains but did not. Place was clean and had all we needed for a big group. Some plumbing issues in the basement bathroom that were addressed right away.
Overall satisfied with our stay.

5 Stars = Excellent
My family and I recently stayed at this amazing rental in the mountains. It was an incredible experience. The house was spacious and beautifully designed, providing plenty of room for all of us to enjoy. The heated pool, jacuzzi, game room and fire pit were the highlights of our stay, keeping both kids and adults entertained. The hosts were thoughtful and provided almost everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring nature and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and I highly recommend this property for a relaxing family getaway.
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.
Overall great time, however, there is much that needs to be improved at this location.
* Lack of window treatments, grill starter broken and no grill lighter, no fire extinguisher or fire alarms, zero shade at the pool or the deck (umbrellas are cheap!), pool table unusable - too close to wall and only one stick, ice maker dispenser broken, hot tub cover ripped and needs an arm for easy open/close, fire pit area is not level and the chairs are old and broken, shower liner in basement is gross, carpet upstairs is filthy, ceiling fans in larger upstairs about to fall off, etc. Again, overall good house but needs some work before I'd recommend this to a friend.
