This was perfect for our party of 11 that came together to celebrate my parents’ anniversary. We had a wide range of ages. The backyard and game rooms were great for kids/teens. 20 minute drive to great restaurants, about 20-30 minutes to Biltmore. Hope we can stay again some day!

Perfect for a three generation family reunion

This large and thoughtfully equipped house was perfect for our three generation family reunion. Although it seems far from Asheville when you first approach, it is easy to get into town, as well as to the highways. A well stocked grocery store and a nice community pool are just 3 miles away.

Relaxing long weekend

The pictures and description of the house don’t do it justice. It’s obvious the owners have gone out of their way to make sure guests are comfortable. The location was great - close proximity all the places we wanted visit.

Amazing experience for my bachelorette party!

We had such a great stay at this beautiful property! Our group of 9 had so much space and really enjoyed all the amenities. We did not have a coffee pot at the home and they had one delivered for us in under an hour! We all had late flights so the host graciously allowed for a late check out. Already looking forward to coming back!

Asheville Experience

This home worked out great for our needs. There were 10 of us traveling and we were very pleased with the layout of this property. We love when we can get one bathroom for each couple. The dining room table is very sturdy, but needs a little "TLC". It has a slight wobble that can easily be remedied. It was convenient to getting around Asheville and tour the Biltmore. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Family Place

This house was amazing and awesome. The children had the best time watching movies in the theatre room. They enjoyed the treehouse and the zip line. The host left a welcome gift which was wonderful. The layout of the house was great for our gathering with plenty of room for everyone. Definitely, a house we will rent again. The host was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. It was a wonderful weekend and the house allowed us to make a sweet memory for everyone.

Comfortable and Lots to Do

We enjoyed our stay very much. When we arrived we found a nice thank you card, several bags of popcorn, two bottles of wine, and a huge charcuterie platter had been gifted to us to enjoy which was unexpected and very gracious. The house was beautiful, very clean, and well maintained. We spent a lot of time downstairs in the theater room and the billiards room. The kids loved the backyard as well. The location was perfect. Everywhere we wanted to go was no more than 30 minutes in any direction. The neighborhood was beautiful and very quiet. Highly recommend this property.

Maplewood Marvelous!

Outstanding house, grounds and amenities in first class neighborhood out in the countryside, but just 12 minutes from Asheville city center. The owners left us welcome aboard package of goodies that was very thoughtful, ensured we had all the kitchenware we needed to cook a wonderful Thanksgiving meal for nine, and were committed to ensuring we had everything we needed. I honestly can’t think of anything they could improve upon.
