Perfectly private yet still convenient

We LOVED this place!! The house is gorgeous, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and still pretty close to town. The hot tub was perfect and the view was so serene. Management was very quick in communicating (no issues, just discussing upcoming freezing weather). Owned by a mom and sisters which makes my heart happy. Literally the ONLY "con" to this place were the fees which increased the price by 36% .

Great quiet spot in the hills with a view

Great, quiet, out of the way place in the mountains. Yet, drivable to many trails for hiking and Asheville happenings. Met our needs perfect for day hiking and taking in the arts and crafts scene. We enjoyed our meals on the deck overlooking the mountains ( and listening to the cows). We relaxed in the hot tub taking in the views. The home really met our needs. Most everything was working and in great condition. We did communicate with the property manager about the bed and bathroom in the loft area being pretty unusable do to needed repairs on bed and toilet. Hopefully they will take care of this.

Fabulous Family Getaway!

When we set out to plan our Spring break trip, we were looking to do a few things: a) be able to drive there from the western suburbs of Chicago, b) we were hoping it would be warmer than home and c) we wanted to unplug and reconnect as a family. I'm so happy to report that this trip fit that bill perfectly and staying at this property was truly the icing on the cake. We LOVED your home which was incredibly comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. It was absolutely perfect for our needs. To unwind each morning and/or evening in the super high quality, large, hot tub was outstanding!!! The pantry and kitchen was really well stocked and much appreciated. Because we'd never spent much time in this area before, we didn't realize just how rural this property was - so getting to and from Asheville and some of our other planned excursions took a bit more time and effort than we anticipated. That is obviously not a criticism of the property but for those looking in the area, just know that to get to and from Asheville from the this property is a winding, long haul. I get quite car sick as does my youngest daughter who is 8 and in the future we would likely choose a property that was a bit closer to Asheville as that was where many of our excursions were based out of. We loved sampling the local Burnsville restaurants (when they were open!!!) and doing a bit of antiquing. Our family stays in A LOT of VRBO's so if we could make one very specific, super nit-picky recommendation, it would be to have a non-stick skillet or griddle. It's kind of our thing to make pancakes when we're vacationing at a VRBO and it was super hard (impossible actually) to do with the provided cookware. Overall, we were just thrilled with this property which allowed us to do everything we set out to do: unplug and reconnect as a family in a truly breathtaking part of our country. Thank you so much!!!
