I have rented many rental properties over the years and this is one of the most well kept in my experience. Compliments to the housekeeper, because the place was immaculate. The home had all of the amenities that we needed. We especially enjoyed the games for the kids, the ice cream maker and the karaoke machine. Comfortable beds are VERY important to me and my bed was comfortable. The family was also well rested. Thanks to our host for the responsive service and the restaurant recommendations were very much appreciated. We especially like the Stoney Knob. Great wine list! Look forward to staying with you again next year. Thanks Linda

We just stayed there for 3 nights, for the price you would think that the property would be better , the master has a queen bed and the other 2 bedrooms , the other bedroom with bath is on the 1st floor and it can be used as entrance to the house as the main entrance is all the way on the other side of the driveway .. very weired not sure why its built this way .... nothing fancy , very basic house . The good was that it had a lot of baby stuff , so if you are with kids this house is good they have high chair , walker/jumper , pack and play so you wont need to bring yours..Also yeah the hot water gets hard to the 3rd floor - master ...Oh and they will ask you to start a load of laundry ...???? and there is a cleaning fee .. not sure why you get charged cleaning fee as you have to do most of the cleaning yourself. Again its ok house but for that price shop around there are much nicer properties in the area!

Owner response:I would like to make clear that the cleaning fee is for cleaning the house: washing the baths, kitchen, dusting, vacuuming, the majority of the laundry, etc. We do not ask the guests to clean. We ask guests to start one load of laundry as a courtesy so we can get the house ready in time for same day check-ins. Thank you.

Mid Morning Cappuccino on the Deck

Guest: Mary E (Lake Mary, FL)

My favorite memory was the beautiful peaceful mornings out on the deck with a cappuccino in my hands. Gazing out at the beautiful view while lost in thought. I had moments that I will remember forever. Thank you! This home is even better than the description and the photos. The location was perfect, remote and private yet close to great places to eat and shop. Easy drive to downtown and the Biltmore. Everything was in good working order and very clean. The owner was very easy to work with and helpful. I highly recommend this property. Truly!!

A beautiful place to stay

We had a wonderful week at this house! The house was very nice and well cared for - we had everything we needed. We loved the large deck overlooking the mountains and ate meals outside as much as we could. There is a nice gas grill, and we enjoyed the espresso machine every morning. Our kids loved playing with the xbox in the evening, and there was a huge selection of games. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels and linens for everyone. Also lots of board games and movies to enjoy. A key for us also was the strong wifi connection and use of the house phone as there is no at&t cell connection there. The surrounding area is beautiful. It was a 20 minute drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and we enjoyed some gorgeous hikes at Craggy Gardens Mountain to Sea Trail, and Warren Creek. The roads around the house are very steep with switchbacks, and we had no trouble navigating them with our minivan. We ate two yummy meals in Asheville at the Mellow Mushroom (Pizza) and Salsa (Mexican). We took the kids to the North Carolina Arboretum and to Climbmax in downtown Asheville for indoor climbing. We also went horseback riding at Sandy Bottom Trail Rides, which was so fun and beautiful views.

Excellent Value for Money

We needed to rent a house for our yearly get together. We had family coming from New York, Baltimore and Ohio. This house was perfect, peaceful and quiet with nice views. It was convenient to shopping and recreational activities. Initially we wanted a home that was a bit closer to downtown and the Biltmore but everything was more pricy in that part of town so we decided to go 20 mins north and it was well worth it. It was still not too far to downtown and the Biltmore, where we only spent two days anyway, and we saved on the price. The house was well stocked and had everything that we needed. The best feature was the view. We also loved being in Asheville. The area is so quaint and the people are so friendly. We would love to come again and we would definitely stay in this home.

Our family enjoyed our holiday get together at Green Ridge Falls. There was plenty of room to cook in the kitchen and more than enough room at the dining table to seat 8 of us. The reclining couches were comfy and I could see they were new. We had all the pots, pans and utensils in the kitchen that we needed to cook up a feast for the family. We had a toddler with us so we appreciated the highchair and play yard. The location is very convenient to stores and restaurants. Asheville is lovely. We mostly enjoyed our visit to the Grove Park Inn. It was decorated beautiful for the holidays. We also went to the Biltmore and it was OK. I had expected more of it (especially for the cost) but after touring it for a couple of hours we were pretty much done and that was it. We were also very close to Wolf Laurel where we enjoyed snow tubing.

Greenridge Falls Tops Them All!!

I have been renting vacation homes for many years and have rented a few in the Asheville area. Green Ridge Falls is the nicest home we have stayed at. It is so clean and well taken care of. The owner said she loved this home and it really shows. It is well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, linens, soaps, entertainment, etc. etc. etc. The beds and furniture are comfortable. The dining room table was big, which was great because there were 10 of us. The views at this home are stunning and the ride up to the house was very easy. Lot’s of windows. Every morning I opened my eyes to the most beautiful fall shades of orange, red and yellow. I would definitely recommend it.

We had a wonderful time in Asheville and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely mountain home this past September. Camille was such nice person to deal, honest and helpful. We had a little bit of a problem with the refrigerator door during our stay and the repairman came to fix it on the day we reported it. We very much appreciated the fast attention to this matter. The house is beautiful and the location of the home is in a great area. The house is very bright and roomy. There was plenty of room to accommodate 9 adults and one child. We took walks around the neighborhood which was lovely and quiet. I liked that we were so close to hiking and the blue ridge parkway. I enjoyed my coffees at the Well Bred Bakery nearby (delicious cinnamon rolls too!). We also enjoyed dinner at the Stoney Knob, nice atmosphere, good food and a large wine list. Took my nephew to the playground at nearby Lake Louise and we walked around the lake. This area of town definitely had everything we needed. I would love to stay here again.
