    Great place but the description showed an outdoor fire pit but there was just a space to maybe make a fire.

    Host was quick to answer questions and the home was well appointed. The only thing we needed was the food we were to eat there (when we did not go out to eat). Lovely trip and I would do it again!!

    Such a beautiful spot to enjoy the outdoors while still being close to downtown Asheville. It had a well stocked kitchen and had many homey touches. We couldn’t ask for a better place to stay while visiting this area.

    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.

    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.

    We came up for a weekend getaway and didn't want to leave! The peace and quiet is worth it all, but then you add a beautiful home tucked up on a mountain.. chef's kiss! We will be coming back!

    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

    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.
