  This place was one of the best. The pictures were true to life. The views were incredible. It was close to Asheville and all its amenities but once you arrived there you left all the city behind you. It was so peaceful and relaxing. You could enjoy the view from your private porch or you could sit inside and still enjoy the views. We felt peace with the world while we were there. Saturday we were treated to hot air balloons in the early morning. What a wonderful way to start your day with coffee and that incredible view. The property had everything we needed. Gwen made herself available and informed us if anything was needed just to let her know. Gwen thanks for sharing your house with us and we cannot wait to return.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself. I do hope you'll be back soon! (The hot air balloons are a treat aren't they? ) Warmly, gwen

  My wife and I spent a beautiful Memorial Day weekend here. The apartment had everything we needed. Although the owner lives upstairs, we still felt that we had plenty of privacy. She was very accessible and responded promptly to any questions I had. In my opinion, what sets this property apart is the view. The pictures on the website do not do the view justice. Nothing is more relaxing than sitting in rocking chairs and gazing out over the mountains. I would like to thank Gwen for a great stay and would love to come back again sometime. Thanks again. p.s. The property is just a short drive away from Asheville which is also very convenient.

  We chose this property based on the owner's description and the reviews and we were not disappointed. The views were absolutely stunning and we looked forward each morning to seeing how different it was from the day before. Although it was colder than we were hoping for and we didn't get to spend as much time on the deck, I'm sure it is delightful to be able to sit and enjoy a drink in the fresh mountain air. The location seemed a little out of the way at first, but we found that navigating the area was actually very easy and spent most of our days traveling the area and falling in love with Asheville and Western North Carolina. We found the apartment as described and although the kitchen and dining areas are quite small they met our needs and we enjoyed having several meals in the comfort of the apartment. The reclining loveseat was wonderful - after hiking or sight-seeing all day, it was such a joy to come back, turn on the fireplace and sit back and relax. Gwen was concerned about our needs and was always just a text message away. When we talk about our trip, we definitely tell our friends and family that this was the perfect place for us and that it would be our choice when (not if) we return to Asheville.

  Owner response: Thank you for your kind response! I always love it when my guest fall in love with the beauty of the mountains as I have. Please come back - anytime! Warmly, gwen

  I wanted my one week of vacation to be a respise of sorts. I had an expection in my mind according to what I had read in the ad and the reviews. When I got to the apartment it was nothing like what I had expected, It was so much more, The views were breathtaking and they did change continually. The property is beautiful with trails to walk. The bedroom I slept in has the fireplace with the chair and a half in front of it, a place you can forget about the world and your worries. Actually everything about this place has done that for me.The bed and the beddings were wonderful. I have taken over 100 pictures and plan on making a scrapbook. So take your camera. Everything you need is there but if by chance there is something you may need, Gwen (the owner), is most gracious to help you with anything. She is what you want in a property owner. I will be back and I have already suggested to some family members to visit this wonderful property for their vacation. THANKS GWEN

  The pictures and descriptions of this property matched what was described. It is a nice weekend getaway. It is relatively close to downtown Asheville, grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. The view of the mountains was breathtaking. I loved that I was able to wake up and see the beauty of nature and not city buildings. Location was great. Far enough to enjoy the wilderness yet close enough to enjoy the surrounding areas. >>>>> Tips for people wanting to rent this property <<<<<< * Bring your own towels. I found that the towels provided didn’t have the “fresh clean linen” smell or feel. * People will allergies should definitely bring your allergy meds. I had problems with my allergies inside the house. The 2 problems I had with my stay are the cleanliness of the apartment and the lack of paper essentials. I found some of the dishes were not completely clean. The silverwares and a coffee mug had food stuck on it. The TV stand had a film of dust and the inside of the fridge had crumbs/sticky film spots. There was a lack of toilet paper, tissue and paper towel. The rest of the apartment was clean, but after speaking to Gwen about the cleanliness concerns, I don’t really know if it was cleaned completely before I arrived there. My overall experience with Gwen was average. Although she stayed above us, didn’t really hear (despite footsteps early in the morning) or see her at all. As a “neighbor”, she was nice and considerate (she left the drive way lights on at night for us). She was very helpful during the pre-rental process. As the “rental owner”, I was dissatisfied with the lack of positive responses when confronted with the issues/problems that I had during the stay. Each issue was met with justification of the problem, as opposed to acceptance of criticism/concern.

  Owner response: I appreciate the great things Angel said about my Vacation Rental. It does have an outstanding view and is a spacious, yet cozy apartment. However, please don't feel like you need to bring your towels, worry about cleanliness or paper products. My mother had passed away the day before Christmas and I had not intended to rent it. My regular cleaner took the week off between Christmas and New Years. I cleaned it myself and did the laundry, so obviously I did not give it my full attention. It was a rough week for me and I was trying to keep my mind off of what I was dealing with. I apologized profusely to her. I can certainly guarantee future guests will not have any problems like this in the future.

  Me and my wife stayed two week nights. Everything was in excellent working condition. We cooked breakfast and used the grill for steak! Occasionally we could hear someone walking around upstairs but it was very infrequent and did not bother us. I would defiantly recommend this place and look forward to staying again!

  We really enjoyed our time here. Despite inclement weather for a couple of days, the vacation rental kept us warm and cozy (especially thanks to the warm fireplace in the master bedroom). The view from the front porch is amazing. It started to get really chilly, so we had limited time on the porch--but would definitely be enjoyable in the late spring, summer and early fall. We really enjoyed the lay-out of the home and the close proximity to hiking, downtown Asheville, horseback riding and kayaking. The kitchen is small for any major cooking, but just perfect for a vacation getaway. The owner was great, giving us directions before arrival and welcoming us when we arrived. Even though we shared the same house (her living quarters were above us), we could hardly hear one another. I definitely want to come back again! Oh and on our last day we saw a wild turkey--quite the fall treat!

  Owner response: Hi Jessica, thank you for the great review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit - even with Sandy spinning off some of her rain and wind on us. Please come back in the spring/summer/fall so you can enjoy the grill, deck and view even more! Warmly, gwen

  My parents and I stayed here for three nights. We thoroughly enjoyed the fall leaves from the porch and spent almost all the time we were at the apartment not sleeping out there. I heard the dogs barking only once the entire time we were there and that was because my parents got them riled up when they passed by their home when they went for a walk. We did not hear dogs any other time and slept in easily each morning until 8:30 or so, which for me is very late. Speaking of sleeping, both beds are very comfortable. I would like to know what kind of mattresses those are and I liked the pillows too which I have a terrible time finding anything I like at my own home. As I write this I wish I had bothered to look and see what they are. Maybe Gwen will tell me when she reads this review :-). Just one more thing I want to add. I looked at all the VRBO listings available in and around the Asheville area several months in advance and this was the only affordable property with the spectacular mountains views. We would stay here again when we are in Asheville.

  Owner response: Amy, Thank you so much for your great review. I did hear you all laughing a few times and it really made me happy to know you all were enjoying yourselves so much. As soon as my current folks leave, I check the mattress and pillows for you. Thank you again and I really hope you all will come back another time! Warmly, gwen
