Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2026
Posted Jul 16, 2026 Only one a/c vent serves the GIANT bedroom upstairs...one vent is in a closet (?!) and the other vent is located in the bathroom UNDER a solid wood vanity! The upstairs is at least 15 degrees warmer than downstairs. Property is nicely decorated, but it is an old building with OLD building smell. Downstairs shower was plugged with hair. Garbage disposal didn't work - terrible smell. Very safe property - 3 different codes to get into the property from the street! Be aware there is a LARGE homeless population in Asheville and this side of the city has a LOT of people sleeping/asking for money right outside the property. Parking in a garage is the only option (15 for overnight). Very convenient to walk to restaurants and shops.

Our July 4th. Getaway

A great place to stay lots of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone the A/C for the one bedroom upstairs was very weak we ended up closing the vents downstairs to get the upstairs comfortable, beds downstairs are definitely on the hard side other than that I’d definitely recommend this place One major HIGHLIGHT was the Bed porch swing we loved that

Great house and great location!

This was one of the best properties I have stayed at. The house was very clean and stocked with all the necessities. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, plates, etc. The hot tub was great and the views from the porch were great as well. The listing was accurate and the check in, check out info and directions from the host were helpful. I highly recommend this property and this host. I hope to be back for another vacation.

BEST PLACE WE HAVE STAYED!!!!

This was the best property my family has ever booked!! The layout of the house the the bedrooms, garage game room and the upstairs loft for all the cousins to sleep was magical!! Having a great outdoor space for kids to run around was a dream!! The highlight of the entire property of course was the neighbor's amazing horse, Maggie, at the bottom of the hill!! She was the friendliest horse and looooooved getting to see the kids everyday and get carrots and apples from them! I recommend this property 10/10!!

Beautiful Mountain House

This property was absolutely gorgeous. My friends and I enjoyed the space for a girls weekend and had a great time. I would certainly return, however I would be very cautious of the location. The house is on top of a mountain with loosely traveled road. It is not for the faint of heart and even if you do have 4WD/AWD, you still not make it up the steep driveway.

asheville getaway

checkin was easy. was worried about the road up to the property, but in the end wasn't a big deal. but being steep and not well lit, we decided to get back every evening before dark. worked out great, because we took advantage of the great kitchen and cooked terrific dinners every night. we really enjoyed the hot tub, and the kids loved making smores by the firepit every night. property was beautifully decorated and everyone was comfortable in their rooms. kids really enjoyed the board games available, as well as the game room. the location was perfect for us to explore asheville and surrounding areas. cant wait to visit again.

Beautiful House

The house is amazing. Very clean and we felt at home. The house was stay ready. My ONLY CONCERN was the driveway up to the house. Luckily I was in my Silverado truck. You will really need an All wheel drive(4wd) to make the ride up to the house. The driveway has an immediate incline. My parents actually got stuck troll to make it up the mountain. 😂😂 But overall besides the driveway the house was awesome and I would actually stay there again

We appreciate your feedback about the driveway; the following is included in the Home Truths section of the description, "4WD or AWD necessary all year. Road/Driveway is steep (but it's worth it!)". We're glad you were able to navigate it with your truck and that it didn’t overshadow your overall experience :) We’d love to welcome you back for another stay, and hopefully, the driveway will be a smoother ride next time!

Rainy spring break

The house is beautiful,roomy,clean and very comfortable. The kitchen had every utensil you would need but was lacking kitchen towels and basic cooking condiments for the first day. The hot tub was disappointing. It never got hot and there were no instructions, especially regarding the cleaning pods use. Not sure if we missed this but the entrance to the house was scary if you didnt have a 4 wheel drive. With all the rain it was even worse and meant we had to be home before dark as there were no lights. Need to do something about the driveway and the pot holes.

One of the most beautiful VRBOs we’ve stayed in. New home with lovely decorating, awesome view, and every amenity one can think of. Not just hot tub and ping pong but keurig plus coffee pot, fully stocked kitchen, wood for firepit, detergent for laundry, basketball hoop, yard for football, wine and local popcorn, etc. So thoughtfully done.The driveway was a little scary, so I would not stay here in heavy rain or snow/ice. We managed to get up and down the driveway in our Toyota Sienna (2wd) but the weather was perfect (dry) and we couldn’t stop along the way or our wheels started spinning in the gravel. The first part of the driveway is the steepest but has some concrete to make it possible. Then the driveway is long (.3mi) and continues up with gravel. It might be possible to park at the bottom off the road but it would be a real pain trying to walk that driveway. I would definitely stay here again so long as the weather looks clear.
