The Vacasa management company was harder to deal with as every communication was with a different representative ...

Needs some work. Landscaping is very overgrown to the point of barely being able to use the walk...
Great space but very little furniture for all of the great outdoor space.

We truly value your input and hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience!
Rooms modern and clean, loved the home! Just needs a little more kitchen wear for us people who dont eat out as much and spend more time in the kitchen. Made cooking process slower with just a few pans available. Also the ice maker does not work so we had to make a trip into town to get ice. Other than that the house and location was beautiful.

Quality Home Convenient to Airport
Well appointed home in upscale neighborhood. Just 8-10 minutes from the airport. Convenient to many restaurants, pickleball courts, downtown and Asheville offerings. Great central location.
The home was clean and spacious. It was just what we needed. The location was perfect for our visit with friends and family in South Asheville. Very highly recommend this place!

Great for a girls trip!
Stayed here for a girls trip and it was everything we needed and more! Big enough that everyone had their own space, but designed in a way that you were always with someone! The house was extremely clean and well stocked when we arrived and the Guest Services rep was extremely friendly and quick to problem solve when our AC went out!!! Would stay here again!!

Great home
The home has great space, beautiful neighborhood and location. A 15-20 minute drive to downtown Asheville.
I reached out to Vacasa the management company for this property that I nbooked thru VRBO.spoke with a representative and left my findings for the owner and Vacasa thru a review but have received no response so am leaving my findings wit Vrbo in hopes things can be corrected. 1)cleanliness a real issue.used kellenex found between nightstand and bed headboard in bedroom across from master. A pair of leggings covered with so much fust found undet master bed...they were not ours.the chandelier over dining room table full of dead bugs.i could write my name in the dust on fireplace hood and study hasnt been cleaned at all2) turned oven on to preheat and it started smoking due to grease build up.found out at that time the vent and light over oven dont work.so took meat to grill to cook and it was filthy and no brush or utensil to clean it with3) turned on sink disposal and 12in of water and food debris shot out of adjoining sink drain. The sink faucet turns the whole stem it is attached to so water never turns off completely 4) the door from the screen porch to the deck is warped closed so you have to go back thru family room to get to the deck5)the location and size of home is great but someone grom vacasa or owner need to walk thru to see what we experienced so others wont be as disappointed.
The property worked well for us. It is a large really nice house. We find it difficult to find a house that has six separate beds so this was perfect.

Girls weekend
We loved everything about the facility the amenities the space the sleeping quarters the distance that it takes to get from point A to point b when we want to travel and find things we would definitely recommend this property to all of our friends looking forward to our next day with your company
We had 15 people total and every one had there space, it had the supplies needed so we all was very pleased with our stay…we had great afternoon grilling on the deck watching the kids play in this spacious backyard..thanks for allowing us in your home
Although it was a very nice spot, the cleanliness could have been better. The house advertised a swing set and there was no swing set which was disappointing for the kids. The cleaning people need to do a better job.

Large beautiful home
Great neighborhood large home for families but needs attention and some deep cleaning as well as furniture replacement. Chef's kitchen is a bit of a stretch in description as is home theatre, large tv and some recliners.
Thanks to the management team, we had a delightful five day stay in Asheville. The house was cleaned and well stocked with supplies. There was plenty of space in the house to accommodate our needs.
