Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The home is nicely renovated, comfortable, and conveniently located near downtown Asheville. However, several issues made it difficult to justify the cost of our four-night stay.The hot tub was one of the main reasons we booked this property, but the water was dirty, most of the jets didn’t work, and the filtration system didn’t appear to be functioning. We reported it through the VRBO app and later by text but never received a follow-up.The driveway is extremely steep, badly rutted from rain runoff, and shared with another property, making it difficult if two vehicles meet. We were glad to have all-wheel drive.The exterior was overgrown with weeds, making us initially question if we had the right property. Although advertised as dog friendly, there was no real grassy area for dogs—only rocks and tall weeds.Inside, the master closet had no hanging rod, both dressers were filled with extra bedding, and there were a few maintenance issues, including broken toilet paper holders, a missing stove knob, and no toaster. The Wi-Fi was also unreliable, making it difficult to work remotely.None of these issues alone would have been a major concern, but together—especially the hot tub and lack of communication—they made the property fall short of its “newly renovated” description and premium price.
