This house was one of the best we have ever stayed at in our travels. It was exactly as shown and even better! There is so much to do at this property that we almost didn’t want to leave to explore Asheville. We had an amazing family gathering coming from 4 different states. The back yard was incredible with all of the activities. The house was very pet friendly, they felt very welcomed. The hosts were incredible as far as communication, always very prompt to respond. We will definitely be back for more fun at Maplewood!! Thank you

This property exceeded our expectation! It was very spacious. It had a lot of little things to make it feel like a home. From comfortable beds, couches, bath towels, to having baggies, foil, roasting marshmallow sticks and so much more. The neighborhood was beautiful and quite. The backyard was well lit and relaxing. We were all very pleased.

Wonderful layout where the bedrooms were spread out and fun games. Our three adult kids (in their 20s) loved hanging out downstairs and playing pool together. There's ping pong and foosball in the garage. The main floor has a nice gas fireplace and we appreciated the partially stocked kitchen. Would stay again.

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!
