When we arrived at Oakley House it felt like we were coming home. Inside and out, the property looks exactly like the photos. So much so it felt like I had been there before. The house is immaculate, with everything you can imagine provided. We chose Oakley House because it was pet friendly, and the owners provided little touches that made us feel our pets really were welcome, eg., poop bags and leash hooks. The yard is a nice size for walking/playing with dogs. The neighbors were friendly and the area felt safe. The location is great, with Biltmore and downtown Asheville just 15-20 minutes away. There is even a wonderful 24-hour emergency vet 20 minutes away. We never expected to need their services but we did, and when traveling with pets this is a real bonus. Oakley House was so cozy we didn’t want to leave, which means we’ll be back. Many thanks to the owners for sharing this beautiful property.

Amazing Place

This place was absolutely perfect for our kids first mountain trip! It gave us all the cabin feels! It was super clean and had one of the best stocked kitchens of places we have ever stayed at. The owners were super flexible and gave us the ability to check in a little early. We also received a discount to go to the Biltmore which was extremely nice! They also had a few necessities like water, coffee, filters, snacks, etc that made the initial arrival nice! We would definitely stay here again!
