This place is so pretty inside! And the neighborhood felt safe. Although peace was disrupted during weekday business hours by the loud dump trucks on the adjacent road. Even with that, the back yard was great for our dog. We could even see the mountain from the back yard. We enjoyed the hot tub many nights & the string lights made it feel serene. I have never rented a VRBO with a better kitchen. They had everything we could think of except s'mores skewers. We enjoyed meals at the bar & around the dinner table. Plenty of counter space for prep, plenty of dishes/utensils/drinkware/storage, nice appliances. Shortly after our arrival, we did have some trouble with a couple things & they quickly sent someone out to resolve. Beds were comfortable but the couch needs replacing as it's not comfy. The owner's book was helpful & we enjoyed the restaurant & hike suggestions. It was easy to get to Black Mntn, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway & so much more. I would definitely recommend this place to friends with children, multiple couples, singles, multi-generational, younger, older, it's really for most everyone. The outside of the house, screened in porch & outdoor furniture could do with some repair/updating. The fire pit was enjoyed for s'mores making & ambiance. Our dog was welcomed too-with clean bowls, towels, & poop bags. Check the gate latch if you have a dog/children. Overall, good place to stay & enjoy all the things the mountains have to offer!
