From check-in to check-out this was one of the best experiences I have had in a rental property. The owners were very helpful when needed and the pictures of the house do not do it justice! I highly recommend!

Beautiful and well appointed home
We traveled here with our toddler and another family with a toddler and infant. The adults and kids all enjoyed themselves. The house is charming, very clean and has an extraordinary outdoor space where the adults enjoyed relaxing and the kids had a great time exploring. It is a 15-20 min drive to nice restaurants and activities. We would absolutely recommend it to other travelers.

Relaxing but Close to The Action
The property was the perfect location to relax after returning from a day of seeing The Biltmore and Asheville. We especially loved the den because it's size and seating options allowed us to visit as a group. This is a luxury property that is worth renting. Our one regret is that the rainy weather did not give us the opportunity to use the beautiful outdoor living areas.

Everything about this property was 'off the charts' amazing! If you enjoy outdoor entertainment (e.g., wood fire place, grilling & chilling), don't hesitate on booking this property. Our neighborhood friend group of 8 would rebook this place in a heartbeat.

We were extremely pleased with our accommodations at this beautiful home. It was an early college Graduation celebration for my daughter and she loved it. We enjoyed the fireplace outside and ate the most delicious meals referred to us by the management group. We will definitely be back.

Surprise Birthday Getaway
We rented this house for a surprise birthday trip and wow it was amazing. This was the most well stocked house I’ve ever stayed in from snacks and coffee to a full set of cookware. The pictures of the outdoor space don’t do it justice at all, it’s a tiny oasis out in Asheville.

Amazing visit
We loved our stay. The house is absolutely gorgeous and was the perfect set up for a group. Shared spaces to enjoy each other's company, with the ability to split off for down time if needed. The outdoor space was lovely and the weather cooperated for some outdoor TV and fire pit time. As an added bonus there were hiking trails just across the street from the house. The house was impeccable and had everything you could.possibly need. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location for a stay in Asheville
This house is in a very nice, quiet and secluded neighborhood. It had all the amenities you could ask for. We had a number of places we needed to get to in Asheville and Bittersweet was perfectly located so that we were within 15-20 minutes of any location in Asheville. The owners have a lot of pride in their house and it shows. if we have need to stay in Asheville again, we would certainly be pleased to go back to Bittersweet. .

September at Bittersweet
The property exceeded our expectations!! The house and grounds were well kept, fully stocked with amenities, and peacefully quiet. Our family (4 adult sibling couples) enjoyed plenty of meals and football game viewing together and well appointed areas to sit and talk. It was a beautiful time of year to visit and we will tell our friends about this special place.
