We are so sorry to hear that your experience at Idle Awhile was a poor one. We do our best to be completely transparent in marketing our property’s features, location, and important things to note (including house layout and ongoing construction nearby which had been added to this listing prior to your booking), so we’re sorry to hear that your experience was anything short of excellent despite our best efforts. While the photos adequately show the exterior and interior staircases, we have added a more detailed note to the description to ensure this is clear to future guests. The switch for the dishwasher is labeled, and the bear-proof trash can has factory instructions posted on top that we've confirmed are accurate and completely up-to-date. We appreciate you sharing your honest feedback and recommendations with us on how to improve the guest experience moving forward, and we hope that you will consider staying with us again when you return to the area. We have a large inventory of homes, and our reservationists would be happy to discuss and make recommendations to help find the best home for you and your group's needs/desires!

Pamela, we’re so sorry to hear that you had a negative experience at Idle Awhile, and we appreciate your honest review. As you mentioned, our maintenance worker was not able to find the source of the window rattling, but it was not our team’s intention to gaslight you. Sometimes certain issues are elusive and cannot be duplicated, but we have every confidence that our maintenance team did their due diligence to find the problem and provide a solution. Since there was no issue to be found, our $100 refund was a peace offering for an uncomfortable night. Our other offer of allowing you to check out with a full refund and stay in a hotel was not meant to be snarky at all. We did not want you to feel stuck or unhappy in our rental and wanted to give you an alternate option that would ensure your comfort. It’s so important to us that our guests feel heard and taken care of, and we hope that the call from our Rental Manager reinforced that intention. We do hope that you will consider staying with us again when you travel to the Asheville/Black Mountain area so we can provide you with an amazing stay.
