This charming and unpretentious property has stunning views of the Blue Ridge mountains, and convenience to popular venues. However, this rental was over priced due to the condition and style of the home (older / traditional mountain home) with foundation issues. Fireplace and grill did not work (or was disconnected) and would require the property owners husband to visit to reconnect. This was a girls vacation and we didn't want any men on the property. The bathroom was infested with spider-crickets (camel crickets), and both porches had carpenter bees and wasps that made sitting outside for long difficult. Other issues to consider: the internet was very weak, the DirecTV was OLD and picture quality poor, kitchen could be cleaner [old food in fridge, dried crumbs under counters and old dish sponges (no dishwasher)], and washer/drier can not be used without turning off the water heater via a junction box (water & electricity do not mix).
Considering the challenges we had a great time in Asheville but I wouldn't stay at this property again. The owner said had she known about our discontent with the property we could have received our money back but we'd been on the road for 8 hours and unloaded before we realized the issues. Finding another place would have been a huge inconvenience. This property would be a great place for someone looking for a "Glamping" feel once the property has been addressed for safety and cleanliness.
