Nicely Remodeled Property
While the property was recently and nicely remodeled the location left a little to be desired. It was hard to enjoy the outdoor space due to proximity to the Interstate and while a bit comical the crowing rooster did become annoying as well.

Hidden fees and owner parks car there so no access to carport
We were charged an owner Fee which equaled another nights stay??? Also, cleaning fee for us to strip the bed, take out the trash, and start dishwasher. I am okay with starting the dishwasher. But there better be no cobwebs or layers of debris on surfaces. Just saying. So I am not sure we’re the disconnect is, but you are directed to a different site that is called Evolve. So most likely I will not use VRBO ever again. This equates to an additional nights stay. Absolutely ridiculous. House needs a deep cleaning!!!!!! Bed is uncomfortable and linens do not smell fresh. Yes the house is updated, tastefully decorated, and nice. The pictures show no vehicle in the driveway, but when you arrive there is one. So you are under the impression there is someone there. I called the manager and he stated this was listed in the description and does cause a problem. I have reviewed the description and do not see this anywhere. Also stated they are working on it. This means do not worry about it, because it will not be moved. So basically I had to load our car to leave in a down pour. One of the reasons I chose this place was the covered parking, because of the unpredictable weather in the area. Really did not use the outdoors area due the weather being unpredictable and the trailer park / meth lab next door to the house.

Amazing Getaway from Reality
This property is everything my husband and I thought it would be, looks exactly like the pictures posted online which is definitely a plus. Home was clean and very welcoming, the interior design is absolutely gorgeous! Do not let the train tracks in front stop you from staying at this home you will definitely regret it. Property owner was very friendly as well and answered any questions we had right on the spot. We will definitely back to visit this beautiful home very soon.

Loved it!
The house was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our weekend stay. I loved the remodeled bathroom and the shower was amazing. I wish the weather had been more cooperative as the rain kept us from enjoying the backyard as much as we would have liked. My husbands only complaint was the trains woke him up; I wasn't bothered by them at all. I would definitely stay here again.

Couples Getaway!
This house was perfect for a much needed getaway for me and my husband! We stayed in most of the weekend cooking our favorites and just enjoying a quiet, cozy space. It was also super convenient to grab an Uber or just drive ourselves into downtown Asheville. The sauna and jacuzzi tub were great additions to allow for a little extra pampering while we were there. Highly recommend this for any couple looking for a nice weekend retreat! We plan to use it again and recommend it to any of our friends headed this way.

Nice little cottage for two.
We were very pleased with this property and the location. We found the train charming and had easy access to all the sights we came to see. The property is clean, well maintained and very well represented by the photos. The only snag we had was that the sauna had a lock and the key had been misplaced. I e-mailed the managing company's contact and received a quick response. Since the key had been misplaced I didn't push the issue and I think the management company would have provided one had I not told them it was no big deal. Now had they brought one anyway, I would have thought that was exceptional and would have rated this as five star service as I consider this rating reserved for a superior experience above and beyond what is expected. This did not ruin anything and I would still recommend this property but wanted to mention it for other guests to be aware of issues that you can find using Homeaway. Overall a very good vacation.

Quaint, high-end, beautiful finishes throughout!
A perfect place for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. Just a short drive to downtown Asheville. Impeccably decorated. There was the lull of a train whistle from time to time, and beautiful landscape abounds in the backyard.The only thing missing was a blender.

It was perfect for the two of us. Had everything we needed and was close to downtown Asheville and Biltmore (15 minutes). The train comes through in the middle of the night and blows it's horn loudly! Other than that, everything was great!

Prefect Getaway
This home is everything you can expect and more! The cottage has been tastefully remodeled and decorated. The reclining sofa was a wonderful place to take a nap. The master bathroom shower and tub were luxurious. My husband loved cooking breakfast in the gourmet kitchen. (with 3 different types of coffee makers) Unfortunately, due to the rain that hurricane Florence brought during our stay we were not able to take advantage of the beautiful yard. We plan to return in the near future.

Nice place
The place was nice on the inside and outside. There was the train that woke us up every morning but they did mention the noise on the listing. So not a big deal. It was expensive after all the fees that were charged. For the same amount, we could’ve stayed at the biltmore.

Excellent place for one or two people to get away and relax. Great for couples, very romantic.
Me and my wife enjoyed everything about this property. The inside and the back patio area are both very aesthetically pleasing. Not to mention the hot tub and the sauna are both nice additions. Once you add the view of the blue Ridge mountains and the diverse cultural of asheville, I don't think you could pick a better area to escape to, Especially staying in a house that is on par with this one. Great for a weekend or a week. We will definitely be coming to stay a again soon, hopefully for a whole week, but if not at least a weekend.

Absolutely Awesome!
This little nugget is located in an unexpected sleepy little town, about 10/15 minutes from downtown Asheville, but that does not take away from the wonderful atmosphere the owner has created. The cottage/cabin is just amazing, comfortable, and like a home away from home. We are already looking for dates to return in the spring/summer. By the way, it looks just like the pictures, which was an added bonus!
