    Overall house is good as advertised its very secluded and private in the mountains if that's what you're looking for. Communication with the owners was good only problem we had and it was not life altering bad was the property manager was still on property when we showed up we were 70 minuets early and he was a bit rude and adamant about check in is 4pm so we sat in the car. Which honestly, I have no problem with it was a long drive we showed up prior to the agreed upon time of 4pm it was unexpected less traffic, but you don't need to be rude about it. What did annoy me was he then released the property to us at 430p if you're going to berate me about the agreed upon time then that applies to both sides. But the property itself was awesome wifi works well but no cell service and that's kind of the point of a get away. Thanks again you have a beautifule house.

    This is the place to be if you want to get away from the hubbub of the city and relax in a remote bucolic setting. The house was comfortable for our group of three older couples, except for the stairs. Oddly, the kitchen, dining area, and primary bedroom suite are on the second floor, and the two other bedrooms are on the first and third floors, so there's no avoiding stairs. If you are going to events in Asheville as we were, you have to plan extra time since it's a 25 - 30 minute drive from the house.

    Hamersmith Hollow is a little piece of paradise! So quiet, so peaceful - a true escape. And also very convenient to all sorts of places and activities. I was so content to sit on the porch with my morning coffee and listen to the bullfrog symphonies. And then there's the amazing and responsive rental company, Pure Carolina. I have NEVER had a better rental experience. Their directions to the house are clear, their instructions for accessing the property are fail-proof... Every little detail is addressed. We will be staying here again, without a doubt.

    Kitchen small for such a big house. Very tranquil and relaxing. We enjoyed the second floor terrace. The address not found on google. We had an anniversary and my daughter was not able to send us flowers All in all a good and comfortable place to vacation with friends and family. The phone reception not very good depending on your carrier

    We had a wonderful time at the Hammersmith home. We ran into a few issues at check-in, but the property manager was very responsive and addressed everything immediately. Our family and friends had a great time enjoying the view from the front porch and the surrounding areas. We hope to be back to Asheville and the area again!

    This beautiful family home was full of memories. We can only imagine the many happy memories shared by the two generations that enjoyed family time here. The décor testifies to the good times that were experience here by this family and we felt as if we were sharing those times while we on the porch listening to the bull frogs in the pond below. The kitchen was large but the dining area was little cramped. The main room downstairs was great for watching TV. The bedrooms were adequate for us but short on closet and luggage space. The property could use a facelift but that may be hard to do and maintain the historical nostalgia that is so much a part of this home. Our best time here was sitting on the large porch during a rain shower.
