Excellent stay! Host was great. House great. 5 adult males comfortably fit with one sleeping on couch. We didn't have firewood and owner responded right away and had it delivered. Beautiful modern kitchen and bathrooms. Beautiful old hardwood floors
Property did look like the pictures and outwardly did look clean and tidy. Upstairs neighbor was nice, but he smoked pot. The smell from the pot was very heavy when we would come back from being out. We do not smoke so it affected the trip in a negative way. Otherwise it was a good place to stay.

Hi Monica,
I’m so sorry to hear this - I wish you would have reached out during the stay we would have remedied that immediately. Out of hundreds of stays we’ve never heard this, we will be sure to look into this and correct immediately.
We appreciate the compliments as well - please contando us next trip for a 50% discount.
Love the uniqueness and charm of this old house. Ben was super quick responding and accommodating. Can’t beat the location. Be sure to check out Lookout Observatory (right up the road) for some short beautiful hikes. And the farmer’s market (right down the hill).
The Farmhouse was beautiful and we got a lot of use out of the massive and comfortable front porch, watching some summer rain storms. We had a lovely stay!
We loved our Christmas here with our adult children and their partners. We were able to spread out and enjoy different activities like cookie decorating and board games. Already considering booking next year
My friends and I came to town as we all turn 40 in the near future. We had an excellent time exploring Asheville and it was super easy to get everywhere we wanted to from the house.
The house itself was great as we had enough room to spread out and space to gather together when we wanted to hang out and enjoy the company. Would book again!
We had a girls weekend in Asheville and picked this house for the size and location. The location was perfect for everything we did. The house had 4 nice sized bedrooms. The house was very clean. We had a snafu with our arrival instructions but the owner jumped right on it once he realized there was an issue.
We will definitely book this home again.
Loved the space; loved getting some idea of the history of Moog. We walked to the popular Farmer’s Market and there’s good food and custard ice cream within walking distance on Merriman. Biggest forest of paw paw trees in the back! Amazing to see.
Hi Lorena! Thanks for the response! We strive to provide a 5 star experience for all guests. We are glad you had a good time! As far as location, sorry you had trouble finding the farmhouse, this is the first time we’ve had a guest not be able to find it, we would have been happy to give clearer directions via phone as it’s only 1.5 miles from downtown. Please come back and see us!
We had a wonderful time staying in the Moog farmhouse. Easy access to all our activities. The beds were super comfortable and we had everything we need.
Ben was amazing and very responsive to our inquiries.
Our only surprise was there’s a tenant upstairs and downstairs. I probably just missed that on the listing.

The property is close to grocery shopping and downtown. It is good value for the money. Lighting in the kitchen is a bit dim, making it a little hard on these old eyes.
The farmhouse was a perfect retreat for Yankees visiting to ride bikes up Mount Mitchell. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and the AC units were fabulous. The wildlife visiting the property was such fun to watch! The turkeys were hilarious hanging out in the trees, and a bear strolled by on the road one morning!
The host was an excellent communicator through the process and we all enjoyed our stay very much. Heads up for folks visiting from flat areas--the steep curvy driveway to the farmhouse was daunting the first time down, but you learn pretty quickly how to navigate the terrain.
Check-in was easy. The property is in a woodsy area and slightly difficult to locate but it is worth the trouble because it feels secluded and the views are gorgeous with equally lovely walking and running trails nearby. The bedrooms were comfortable and we all slept well. The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances and eating utensils and it was immaculate. It was over 90• while we were there but the front porch was shaded and comfortable and the a/c did an excellent job cooling the house. Not within walking distance of downtown but the drive is an easy 10 minutes. My group of active women aged 40-75 had a great time and would happily stay at the Moog House again.

Farmhouse
The house was in need of some work..I swept the porch and cleaned off the outside furniture and the top of the porch rail that had marine from other peoples cups etc...I really did not like opening the bathroom cabinets and finding I guess whatever other guests had left in the cabinets. The drain did work in the bathroom sink..we tried to tape up the front of the kitchen sink but that whole cabinet needs some work,,I did not want to put this online but I guess I expected much more for the money. That being said our party was great and the location was very good for us.
The Moog house is excellently updated and furnished. Beds are comfortable, and host Ben is friendly. Location was fantastic for trips into downtown. I would absolutely go back!
We enjoyed our stay in Asheville. The house was comfortable and clean and well located. I missed in the description that there were other tenants in the house, but they were quiet and didn't impact our stay at all. We had a great time visiting with family.
Excellent location to downtown Asheville for brewery hopping, concerts, restaurants. It’s hard to find a house with 4 master bedrooms that’s not super expensive. Only two full baths but we made it work. Great time!
We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and fully stocked. All the beds were comfortable and the location was great! My son, 28, felt someone lightly grab his thigh in the middle of the night. Bill? Lol
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! The property was well-maintained, it included everything we could need on our trip, and the house was a short drive from everything we wanted to do. The owner, Ben, was so responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
