Staying at the Lily Pad was, beyond a doubt, our family's greatest experience thus far with a rental property. It was large enough to hold our party of 10 without feeling like we were crammed in like sardines, it was clean, the design and attention to detail was impeccable, and the location was highly convenient to all areas of Asheville. We loved all of the amenities, and felt well supported with consistent communication from Dustin and Jasmine. We can't wait to stay here again!!!

Great well stocked house for groups

Enjoyed the stay at this house. The game room was great for a night in when it was raining and the backyard was very usable when the weather was nice out. The beds were comfortable and the pictures online were accurate.

Great Place to Gather!

The place was as beautiful as shown in the pictures. It has great amenities when saying on site. Lots of fun and plenty of room to gather or stretch out. Also, just a short drive to downtown or other attractions. The host was very responsive and helpful.

family reunion

We gathered to celebrate my mother's 80th bday. The house was very warm, accomodating and lots of activities and very well stocked. We wish we could have stayed longer. Would love to stay again in future.

Perfect spot for our group

The house comfortably fit our group of 13, and the incredible selection of games and activities kept us entertained for our entire stay. The house is everything we could have asked for, and not a single person in our group had a negative thing to say. Thank you for your hospitality!

“Seriously so great” …

Our 13, 10, and 8 year old give it 10 out of 5 stars. The 8 year old claims “it’s seriously so great”. We rent a LOT of vacation rentals and the details at this house was very thoughtful, the house was clean and I would definitely recommend. The owners communication was also fantastic!

Fantastic stay!

We had an incredible time staying at this location. House was outstanding for large groups. We had plenty of space and several options for gathering areas to hang out together. The game room has literally everything you could want and more. The outdoor area is awesome with several gathering options, games, hot tub and sauna. There is also a fire pit. The inside of the house is spacious and clean with all the things you need for a comfortable stay. Location was an easy drive into Asheville and beautifully located in the woods, secluded and quiet. Highly recommend!
