Exceptional

The remodeled home was exceptional for our family of 10 and a baby. The home was well stocked with everything we needed from coffee to extra towels! The host responded quickly to any of our needs! The home was spacious and well designed from the game room to the office! Our only complaint is we didn’t have a few more days to enjoy it! Thanks for a great vacation!!!

Girls Trip! OurOwn Private Resort!
Girls Trip — Our Own Private Resort!
This home blew away our original hotel plans and we couldn't be happier! The beautiful pool area and outdoor area, spacious layout, and enough bedrooms and bathrooms for each of us to have our own made it feel like a private resort.
The home was immaculately clean and fully equipped — great kitchen, a stocked coffee bar, giant screened TV lounge, and a fun game room. The host was responsive and attentive, making everything smooth from arrival onward.
A huge part of what made this trip special was the quality of the accommodations, the stunning views, and the wonderful variety of activities the property made possible — from poolside relaxing to game nights and everything in between. Perfect for girlfriends' getaways or family gatherings. We would absolutely return!

We had a wonderful stay! We'll go back by the end of next year!
We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It was one of the few places we found that was truly pet-friendly, which meant a lot to us. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. perfect for a family vacation. We didn't even feel the need to go out because the home itself kept us entertained with the games and amenities provided. Everything was well maintained, and communication with the host was great throughout our stay. We're already planning another booking with them by the end of next year and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!
Perfect for our Family Celebration. Host was extremely attentive
This property was perfect for our family celebration. It comfortably accommodated 13 of us. It was close to Downtown Asheville as mentioned on the description. We enjoyed swimming, using the hot tub, and cooking on the grill. The host was extremely attentive and responded super quick to the questions I had over the weekend. My family had a wonderful time staying at this property

Perfect Place to Stay! Great Hosts!
We booked for a trip to Asheville! The location was perfect if you're wanting to be close to Asheville, but not too close to all the hustle and bustle! The owners were great at communication, and helped out whenever I needed! This place is PERFECT if you have a big group! So many different sleeping options and areas!
The house was great. It had more than enough space for everybody. The pool was clean and did not disappoint. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay at this house again.
Beautiful rental.. easy check in and out.. grandkids loved all the pool and playroom..

Hey Lisa, thank you so much for your amazing review! We are so happy your grandchildren enjoyed the pool and playroom! You were phenomenal guests and we would LOVE to host you again!
This place was fabulous! The owner communicated daily to make sure everything was satisfactory. It is pet friendly with a small fenced in area for your pets to play. The pool was heaven on earth. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely reccomend and stay again. Plenty of room for everyone!! The theater room was amazing with the massage recliners. Its close to everything you need but still so peaceful.

Clean Home with the Best pool! Responsive Host
Property was clean and as depicted in the pictures. The host was proactive with communication and excellent to deal with. Greatly appreciated the communication throughout our stay. The property is literally a 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville, but far enough away that it is quiet and peaceful. The pool was the best part of the house and was enjoyed thoroughly. We enjoyed our time staying at the property and the family summer vacation. Thank you!
Beautiful spacious property with gorgeous views and short trips to anything you could need.

Great house! We loved the hot tub and outdoor space. House was spacious and great for our needs. Would book this house again for our next visit to Asheville.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The pool and the hot tub were the highlights for us, and the location was an easy drive to Asheville and the Biltmore. The property manager was super responsive and check-in and check-out was very easy.
