Carol's Castle does not disappoint! The home is beautifully laid out, with plenty of room for my large family. The house is extremely clean, and the kitchen is well-organized with everything you need to make a home-cooked meal. The mattresses and linens in all the rooms are high-quality and super comfortable. My favorite part of the house is the back porch overlooking horses in a pasture and beautiful mountain views. I would highly recommend booking the fantastic rental!
Beautiful sunset from back porch.

Perfect House - Perfect Stay!

A thousand stars is not enough to rate this house! It was immaculate! The house was so spacious and had a beautiful view of the mountain line. Everything you could ask for was provided! The beds were so comfortable and inviting. The kitchen was equipped for your every need. The decor and mirrors were the perfect touch to our weekend! My daughter was overcome with joy to have such a lovely place to stay while preparing for her wedding day.

You want to stay here!

This was one of the better VRBO homes we have rented. The photos are accurate which is refreshing since most places do not have accurate listing photos. This home is well stocked with everything being neatly labeled. Our grandparents live down the street and we wanted something close to them so we could invite them over for dinners and visiting. We walked in to a clean, open, and bright home that had nicer linens and towels than any other Vrbo we have stayed in. You can tell the owners wanted to make this a comfortable home away from home for their guests. They have games, extra blankets, extra pillows, kitchen appliances above and beyond the “usual.” The back deck was relaxing in the evenings and we enjoyed watching the sunset. The nearest grocery store is just down the street. We were easily able to get over to Pisgah National Forest and Madison County so the location was a great spot right in the middle. The views are incredible. You should absolutely book this home just not on the dates I need it. We will be back!

It’s just one of my favorite stays ever, and I’ve stayed in lots of places in the U.S. The hosts were very welcoming, and the place was spectacular. I loved being in the country with the mountain views and the horses to observe on the property. We had every amenity we could dream of and lots of space. The home is kept very clean and is beautifully appointed Everyone in our group was impressed.
