The beds were very comfortable - loads of fresh towels. The driveway is steep, with a scary drop-off, which was clearly listed, so it was not unexpected. Did not realize it was a shared house - the lower section had tenants, but they were respectful. I watered all the plants, which were on the verge of dying, and the house needs a blender and mixer. Other than that, it was quiet and very comfortable.
Our group was celebrating our daughter’s graduation weekend from UNCA. The three bedrooms were perfect and the bathrooms were modern and clean. The kitchen- dining area fit our needs and we were had plenty of room to relax together. Be aware that parking is very limited.
Great communication with host. Didn't realize there was a lower unit that is also rented out but no issues with the tenants. Parking in the driveway is definitely tricky as is getting out of the driveway and turned around, but again, no true issue, just tricky. House was lovely with all necessary bedding, pillows, towels, soaps, etc. Location allowed us easy access to town or hiking.
First visit to Asheville and the Biltmore Great location House clean and cozy The owner was great and easily fixed my mistake with booking Great place to stay
Size of home was very comfortable and accommodating for a family of 5. 2 adult couples and one teenager. Location to Asheville and surroundings attractions was great. Although there was a home at the bottom of the hill that was a little loud late into the evening and early morning. I would rate the cleanliness of the property fair. Although we did come across mouse droppings and a roach. You are in the middle of the woods, so things such as that can be expected. The comfort of furniture was fair. The couch in the living room was a little uncomfortable, and the master bedroom bed was rather close to the ground, and soft. Also, the ceiling fan in the master bedroom does not function.
This was an absolute excellent experience. The property was exactly as displayed and communicated. Not only was it set with all the items needed (coffee maker, pots, pans, seasonings, nice place for pets) but it was well organized and quiet. I was prepping for my dad’s 80th birthday and this was the perfect location to distress and unwind once the festivities were concluded. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable place to stay. Also my boyfriend was thrilled to run the hills. Yes you read that correctly, run the hills. Thank you again.
This is such a great place to stay! It's nicely tucked up in the trees and feels like a mountain retreat, but still close enough to downtown to get to experience the city of Asheville as well!
We brought our 2 dogs and they were right at home and loved hanging out on the deck. Definitely a great find!
My family (wife and adult children) stayed here on our trip to Asheville for me to run the Asheville marathon. We really enjoyed the place, and it was very convenient to downtown and all the wonderful places along the river. Communication with the host was excellent, and the house was very clean and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again!
House was great - well kept and very clean, spacious and the beds were really comfy. The driveway is narrow and has a steep drop off on one side and not a lot of places to turn around. All of the vines and growth on the right side of the drive needs to be cleaned up. We kept getting caught on a rose looking bush with thorns.It would also be helpful to have instructions how to divert the water to the shower in the bath upstairs. upstairsbe helpfu

Why they chose this property
This home is in a very peaceful setting and yet also so close to downtown Asheville. You can walk or take a short drive down the end of the street to the Woodfin Riverside park, where you can stroll on the greenway. The home is also very close to River Arts District and the new absolutely amazing greenway that takes you for miles along the french broad river.
