We loved staying here this past weekend! The house was immaculate, so thoughtfully prepped, and we enjoyed reading about the family's history throughout the house. The views of the house and from the house were gorgeous. We had plenty of room for for 4 couples plus more! Would love to come back sometime!

We had two families vacationing for a wedding. The house was so beautiful and the kitchen had everything we needed. Fall was the most perfect time to visit. Asheville was a short distance away and walking through montreat campus was heavenly. We would love to go back.

Sounds like a great occasion to gather at Patricia Home! I'm glad you all had a nice time and that you all were pleased with the location.
For 20 years 6 of us women have been getting together on an annual basis. This home was perfect because we could each have our own bedroom. If you are not able to navigate stairs this is not your house. Otherwise, great views and very comfortable!

Patricia home
House was not clean upon arrival
Because the majority of my party are over 70 it wasn’t conducive for seniors a heads up would have been very helpful when choosing a home

Unita, we are incredibly sorry to hear that your experience at Patricia Home was a poor one. Regarding accessibility, we do our best to present the home as accurately as possible in the listing photos and featured amenities. If you choose to stay with us again and want accessibility prioritized, I would encourage you to speak with one of our team members prior to booking to ensure you're choosing the perfect house for you and your group's needs. We apologize for the cleanliness issue you encountered during your stay; our new Clean Home Promise states that if you come into one of our homes, and it has not been cleaned or maintained to reflect our high standard, we will send a member of our housekeeping team to return for a touch-up clean at no cost. We appreciate you taking the time to share your honest and constructive feedback with us, and we hope that you will consider staying with us again in the future so we might exceed your expectations.

We have stayed in Asheville many times, but this was a last minute trip and we had a larger group (3 families with young children ranging between 3 - 7 years old). We found this place, and it was great! Still convenient to Asheville, lots of great hiking spots, a great playground that the kids could walk to, and very close to the shops/restaurants in Black Mountain! The house itself was really unique with the family mementos & historical items, which were fun to learn about. We were very comfortable in the home, and had plenty of room for our group. It was a great little getaway, and we would definitely recommend!

Patricias home met all our needs for a family get-together over the Easter holiday weekend 2017. With 6 bedrooms and an extremely large dining table, we were able to spread out and come together! It should be noted that there are a lot of steps both to the house and to all the bedrooms, so I wouldn't recommend for seniors, including senior dogs. The home was clean and well supplied, plenty of glasses, dishes, silverware, etc. My only recommendation would be to update the pots and pans (I don't feel comfortable using old non-stick pans with the coating coming off. I would prefer stainless or newer pans). We provided our own sheets and towels. The location was awesome and we walked or hiked everyday. The rocking chairs were very popular and we enjoyed the sounds of the stream out front. Overall we had an awesome visit.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is spacious and well equipped for a family consisting of 4 couples and 4 small grandchildren! A short walk to everything in Montreat with the large community field across the creek. We used the field a great deal. Enough room for 4 cooks in the kitchen for large meal preparation. The family room is organized so that one can be in the kitchen and still be involved in other activities. The downstairs can get cold. but good heaters are available to make the temperature comfortable. This is important given the young age of our grandchildren. This was our second year in the home and we came away with the conclusion that it suits this family's growing needs comfortably. As always, Greybeard is amazing to work with! We find it helpful to preorder our organic turkey at Earthfare in Asheville ahead of time - as we travel from Missouri, Indianapolis, the Netherlands and well, Boone:). Ingles is an amazing grocery store, we never tire of the Dripolator, and the White Horse has great live music. Add to that the views, the trails, and of course the children's playground and all our requirements were easily met.
Very roomy, beautiful views, close to every place we wanted to visit.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your honest and valuable feedback with us and future guests, and we hope that we'll get the chance to host you again soon—perhaps for a late spring or summer getaway!
Our extended family stayed in this property for property for Thanksgiving. We loved the layout of the sleeping rooms as they are well separated, allowing for privacy. The kitchen is very well equipped and had most of what we needed for Thanksgiving preparation.. The town of Montreat lovely, and very walkable, with beautiful views and hiking nearby. Black Mountain is minutes away and is a good place to spend a day looking in all the shops. We would probably not rent property again in the colder months as the single main living space was confining when everyone came inside to get out of the cold. Probably better suited for summer months when you can enjoy the porches and most people would be outdoors.

We had a great time staying at this property - we had about 15 people that all stayed comfortably in the bedrooms and a major plus was being able to get all of us around the table for meals. It’s about 15-20 minutes to Asheville breweries and hard to get Ubers to the house, but thankfully we had some DDs. Beautiful area!
