Family Vacay

Brought our 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The pool, theatre room and game room were big successes to all. About 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville. Plenty of room for all to be quite comfortable.

Will be back!

This home is gorgeous and very accommodating! The host offers lots of extras such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and extra toilet paper to name a few. Each bedroom was nicely supplied with linens, extra blankets, towels, washcloths, and make up remover wipes! They really go above and beyond and our group will likely return again!

Close to Asheville with a Pool

We loved the pool and the location. It's an easy 20 minute drive to downtown Asheville. You won't find any place closer with a heated pool and hot tub. The Ingles grocery store just a few miles away is a quality grocery store. I was worried we'd have to truck all the way to Whole Foods. The owner is responsive and helpful.

GREAT PLACE IN QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD

4 couples stayed and we absolutely loved it. Great communication with the property manager/owner. They promptly responded and took care of any issues we had. Very helpful. The place is great! Plenty of sleeping room, game room, theater, pool, hot tub and back patio with gas grill. All worked out well for our stay. I would stay here again.

Wonderful family mountain getaway!

This was an excellent house for a family mountain getaway. The game room and the hot tub were a huge hit with the kids. The house was spacious, well decorated and clean. The house was also stocked with supplies including soap, shampoo, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc., which is always a nice bonus. The caretaker was very responsive to a couple of issues we had. We would highly recommend this property!

5 Stars = Excellent

My family and I recently stayed at this amazing rental in the mountains. It was an incredible experience. The house was spacious and beautifully designed, providing plenty of room for all of us to enjoy. The heated pool, jacuzzi, game room and fire pit were the highlights of our stay, keeping both kids and adults entertained. The hosts were thoughtful and provided almost everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring nature and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and I highly recommend this property for a relaxing family getaway.

This is not a brand new luxurious home. It is a perfect home for lots of people, particularly in the summer when you can be outdoors and swim. The home was spotless, the pool and hot tub well maintained. The theater room was a hit with everyone. We enjoyed ourselves !

Family stay

We rented this property for a long family birthday weekend. We immediately were greeted with a text making sure we had everything we needed. The home was well equipped with plenty of supplies and equipment. There was lots of room for all of us and plenty to do including pool table, ping pong, fooseball, etc. The theater and seats were a nice added activity. The pool and area are well maintained. My only suggestion would be an umbrella or two for those of us who need some shade while enjoying the pool. We would definitely rent the home again.
