Why Sharon Tabor chose Woodfin
My favorite place is Asheville where I owned Acorn Cottage B&B. I fell in love with the cozy, unique property that has the best of both worlds: the quiet peacful atmosphere of the mountains, but convenient to town. It's absolutely amazing how close the house is to everything there is to do in the area, but how quiet it is! You actually feel as if you are miles from town - but you aren't!
What makes this Bungalow unique
I love sitting on the porch listing to the tree frogs and crickets at night. During the winter I enjoy curling up in the recliner chair in front of the fire with a good book and glass of wine. For a marvelous mountain view, a short walk up Breckinridge Pkwy near the house reveals the magic of the area. I love the diversity of cuisine in the Asheville & Weaverville area less than a 10 minute drive from the house.

"Secluded convenience" is an apt description! Very nice place
Thank you for your kind words. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay!.
Shabby, poorly maintained - needs total tear-down
I'm sorry you were disappointed in your choice of vacation properties. As stated in the property description, the house was built handbuilt in 1945-47 by national park ranger. It is rustic cabin with unique and quirky features.
What was not conveyed in your review is that housekeeping appeared within 15 minutes of your notification of the electric issue, and an electrician appeared a few minutes later, after hours, and found nothing amiss.
I have addressed your other issues in a private email. Not every property is for every guest. As far as the construction issue: no one entered the house, the work was outside, and I do not have the option of notifying guests of their need to access the grounds if I am not informed they are on their way to the house
The main issue remains: If you were so disconcerted with your 3 week stay, why was there no communication with the owner or housekeeper to discuss the issues and determine corrective action? Why was there no request to cancel the reservation so you could move to a place that would have made your Asheville visit more pleasant?
Three weeks with no communication to the homeowner or caretakers is extremely puzzling.
no
Great stay
Thank you for choosing Cabin Laurel for your Asheville visit. I'm glad we were able to make your trip a pleasant one
Warm and cozy
Clean and convenient!
Adorable bungalow, perfect location
