We had a nice stay in our cabin. This was a perfect size for 2 families (6 people total). The kitchen was well-stocked, the bathrooms clean, and the bedrooms cozy. Thank you for a nice stay!
This house fit our needs perfectly. It was near all the things we wanted to see and do. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The owner, Luz, was quick to respond to our texts.
Great place! Within 15 minutes to whichever district you would like to visit. Best to turn around and approach driveway though. Otherwise it was perfect for a weekend in Asheville
We enjoyed our stay at this location. A very clean and cozy house with ample room for seven family members. The house was well stocked with amenities for an enjoyable stay. Luz was very polite, informative and quick to respond and be helpful to any of my questions.
Had a fantastic ‘friendunion’ weekend getaway here. The host’s attention to details was remarked on multiple times and appreciated by all, from the elevated reflectors in the driveway to the kitchen supplies (and bathroom). Big thanks to Luz for making this stay feel so welcoming and comfortable.
Very clean and beautifully decorated home. Everything you need for a visit to Asheville area is there. Beds were comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and a nice fire pit. The hosts were vert responsive to questions (we did not have any issues). Would recommend!
We loved that the property was conveniently located to downtown and the Biltmore. We found the listing photos a bit misleading as we thought the property was on the river. We were a bit disappointed to find it was not. The driveway turn is challenging...is it possible to widen the entrance at all? The space was good for our group of 5 for our girls' weekend. Just wish the toilet paper was 2 ply.

Hi Patricia, thanks for your feedback. Sorry, for the misunderstanding. The property is not advertised as water front and the property description states that the river is at a few minutes walk. Glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope you keep us in your plans for future travel.
Kind thanks
Luz
The property was clean, spacious, comfortable, well looked after. Someone has paid attention to the needs of guests. We lacked for nothing. The house is close to downtown Asheville.
