This pet-friendly location was perfect for our week long stay. The fenced in yard and plenty of wood for the fire pit worked out well especially during those few chilly nights. Would definitely recommend staying at this location.

We enjoyed our stay here and really liked that it had an electric car charger so we could charge our car. That was beneficial with the traveling we were doing. The kitchen was well stocked with necessities, though we didn't need to use most of them. The rooms were spacious and bedding was comfortable. Check-in process was easy and the home was easy to find. We saw a few deer in the yard, which was fun. Neighborhood felt quiet and safe.The property description stated there was access to the creek behind the property for swimming, and maybe there was good access before the flooding in 2024 from the hurricane, but now once you reach the bottom of the wooden stairs it's a steep climb down the rest of the bank to the creek which had signage trash in it, so we never used it for swimming. Also, the armchair in the bathroom had stains on it.

We are very happy with our stay. We spent 3 nights for adults. House is beautiful, as advertised . The kitchen was our favorite part of the house spacious, good quality appliances, pots and pans, dishes, cuttlery. Area is unusually beautiful. You can spot deers nearby. A big supermarket is 8 minutes away by car.

Wonderful and relaxing

This was a very comfortable property that provided a relaxing environment. The kitchen is wonderful with an adequate amount of amenities. The beds were comfortable and there are plenty of TVs should you have a rainy day. I would book this place again should we return to the area.

Perfect for your needs

We were in town for a wedding and this location was perfect. Only issue is there are no drawers to place items from your suitcase but there are closets with hanging options. It had everything else we needed and more. We enjoyed our stay.

Cane Creek home

Great house on the creek. Home had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Home did show a few little signs of wear but it is a rental after all. We had all the basics and they supplied a book with recommendations which was helpful. Location was fantastic!!! Would definitely stay here again!

Roomy and Quiet

We were in town for a wedding in Asheville. The house had plenty of space for 4 adults. My son-in-law loved the stream in back. Enjoyed hearing the stream whenever we were outside. Fenced yard was perfect for dogs. Very quiet environment and perfect distance from Asheville.

The master bedroom bed is too soft - sunk way down into it. The master bedroom temperature was too warm. There was no mention of the Yonder fee when booking through VRBO - that fee didn’t show until we booked. The TVs were very good. Kitchen well-equipped.

Comforts of home

Nice older home with beautiful modern updates. The pictures are accurate. Thought the creek was closer and easier to access. We did get to enjoy it, but the steps climbing up and down are very steep. Only 30 mins to lake lure and chimney rock. My fur babies loved the yard and I loved that it was fully fenced in. Overall we had a peaceful comfortable stay.

Great for dogs and older kids

This house is in a nice spot in Fairview. It was a bit different than pictured- mainly smaller and the creek was only accessible in a very small area- no wandering down the creek as I had imagined because of grumpy neighbors that yelled at us to “get off their property “ (in the creek..?) but the backyard was fenced nicely and perfect for the dog. The 3rd bedroom is separate from the other 2 (on total opposite sides of the house) - this was great for our teenager, but I would been uneasy putting young kids in this room so far from our own- with the dining area, back door, kitchen, living room, and a hallway separating us. There are an inexplicable amount of TVs in this home -1 in every bedroom, one in the dining room and another in the living room. If you do not want your kids using them- just hide the remotes. There was a hiccup with the water system which I called about and they fixed right away. There were a couple of lamps with shorts in them, and several places on the walls that needed repair/ a paint job. The internet worked great which was important for us as my husband had to work part of the time we were there. Overall is was pretty good- the big fenced backyard was the best part.

Leslie, we're sorry to hear you were unhappy with the outcome of your cancellation. While we understand plans can change unexpectedly, our cancellation policy is clearly outlined at the time of booking. Also, because your dates fell outside of VRBO’s extenuating circumstances window, and the home was fully available / ready for your stay, we were unable to offer a full refund. That said, we have refunded your cleaning & pet fees. We do our best to be fair within these situations, though we understand any frustration you may have experienced. Wishing you the best in future travels!
