After Christmas 2011
Guest: JTV273

Date of Stay: 12/27/11
Review Submitted: 01/08/12
The property was very accurately described, was clean neat and well stocked. We had a light dusting of snow the first night and the view was great. The owner responded promptly to my questions and concerns. The fireplace is great but you will need to provide your own wood. We visited the Biltmore House but this is a very busy season so get your tickets and tour times early.

Lovely Holiday Getaway

We spent the Christmas holiday at this lovely house, which is right in town but nicely secluded and quiet. Everything was as described, and the photos are completely accurate. The property was very clean, had very nice furnishings and plenty of room for the five of us. Although we didn't cook at the house, the kitchen appeared to be adequate for light cooking. All in all, it was a very nice experience, and I would recommed this property to a friend without hesitation. Just be careful of your GPS when returning from downtown Asheville. We had two units, and both of them consistently tried to take us around the backside of the mountain, up, over and back down!

Best Friends Fall Retreat

We had a fabulous time. The house is awesome--clean, comfy and cozy-- the weather and fall colors were spectacular. We enjoyed the city and stopping at Tupelo Honey Cafe (best veggies) and wandering around the area; we took two drives--one which circled the house (the house truly is in the center of things), the other to Hot Springs, just to see fall, which for Florida girls was a real treat; we were celebrating birthdays, 30+ years of friendships and fall. We hit a local Orchard and strolled around Black Mountain (the owner of the wine store is a great tour guide and Veranda Cafe-Hungarian mushroom soup a must ) Our capstone event was dinner at the Sunset Terrace at the Grove Park Inn. Watching the sun set on the fall and mountain was befitting of our last night. We could not have asked for more.

Second season here

Review Submitted: 09/13/11
Last year I spent 2 weeks here and enjoyed it so much that I booked 3 weeks this year. You cannot beat the location as it is minutes from the center of town but in the most beautiful area of Asheville. If you do not believe me just check with the famous Grove Park Inn which is within walking distance. The house is spacious and well appointed set high in the hills with mountain views. The owner has provided everything that you will need to feel at home yet pampered.Not to be missed.

This is a winner!!

We had a family vacation at this convenient, airy home right near town. We turned off the AC and had lovely mountain breezes to enjoy. The great room was large and open, with wood floors so we decided to move out the chairs (to a smaller cozier TV space) and use the big room for yoga, tai chi and dancing. A sun porch area was a perfect place to set up a massage table and meditate. We had a great week!

A wonderful home in a wonderful neighborhood. Spacious, beautifully maintained, and something for everyone. Loved the proximity to restaurants, shops, kids' park, nature trails--and only a short drive to the heart of downtown. Great floorplan for together time as well as privacy. Terrific book and movie selections, fun game room, wonderful fireplace, and great views from the deck. Backyard was a great exploring adventure for the kids. Enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and seeing the wild turkeys and all of the friendly neighbors and people out and about--jogging, walking their dogs, enjoying the wonderful weather we had. We felt comfortable and right at home in this neighborhood and this house--very warm and welcoming. The owner is professional, responsive, and friendly. Would recommend this house to anyone!
