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

Weekend in May
We had a great visit! The place was very clean and there was some delicious homemade granola and a handmade trinket waiting for us. They were very accommodating to our dog (we have a big labradoodle). It was a great space with a modern interior - we would definitely come back!

Private mountain get away
Wonderful house only about 20 mins from downtown Asheville. Only thing to consider is this is UPHILL on a mountain with a gravel road/driveway so be cautious if you a smaller/older car and not all wheel drive

Great stay!!
Could not have asked for a better place to stay for our Asheville vacation. We spent the mornings drinking coffee on the porch watching hummingbirds. Centrally located to the different area activities without being in town. Beds were super comfy, kitchen was well stocked, even had doggy treats for our furry family member. Highly recommend and would stay again.

All the Comforts of Home
Walking in the front door and you already feel like you are at your home away from home. The owners thought of everything for our stay. There was ice in the freezer, a new bottle of olive oil on the counter and spices in the cabinets. We were even surprised to find our favorite kitchen appliance, an Instant Pot. We were able to use the gas grill one night for dinner while we enjoyed a unique outdoor dining experience in the trees. If you want to be secluded but connected then this is the place to go.

5 star stay!
My friends and I rented this house for a weekend getaway. It was so clean and beautiful and the hosts are top notch! It's a little off the beaten path, but we found it easy to navigate and only 15 minutes from downtown. Peaceful, surrounded by nature, and very well supplied and maintained. I highly recommend this house and these hosts!
