We loved the place. We celebrated my daughter’s 22nd birthday while we were there. It was so comfy, clean, and inviting. Our dog loved playing fetch in the fenced-in back yard, and we enjoyed a fire with s’mores in the fire pit.We liked the proximity to Asheville and many hiking areas, too.We definitely will go back!
We enjoyed our stay immensely. The energy and decor of the space felt so wonderful. Best sleep I have ever had at a VRBO. Quiet and peaceful, great yard for the dogs and wonderful little touches so they felt at home too.
We came up to stay for a baseball tournament and brought our dogs along. It was just as described. The dogs absolutely loved the large fenced in yard. It was only 10 minutes from the ball-field which made it very convenient for that. We loved the decorations and made sure to greet Eugene! We would definitely stay here again
We had a wonderful stay at Sam's property. The house was clean and a perfect set up for us and our dog. Sam thought of everything for our dog, including dog bowls, towels, and a clean up station. Our favorite amenity was the fenced in yard and firepit with a view of the mountains. We hope to come back again!
Nice location! We visited all the major districts and found it fairly easy to get around, using our cell phone gps. At the end of our day we could chill out in a quiet area with a lovely atmosphere inside and out. A substantially sized, fully fenced yard gave us peace of mind for our two dogs.
We (couple w dog) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Sam was a gracious host and the home was perfect for us. Extremely clean and the decor was close to how I decorate. Very comfortable beds and so nice having two bathrooms. Close to Asheville and hiking trails. Sam thought of everything to make for a perfect stay. Thank you Sam.
We really enjoyed our stay and it was perfect for our family of 4 and elderly dog. Loved the nice fenced backyard. Poop bags and dog area in the laundry room with bowls were really convenient. The house itself is beautiful inside too. Loved all the decor and the bathrooms. Owner was very responsive and friendly. Convenient to asheville and hiking as well. We had a wonderful time!
Beautiful property with a beautiful view. My pup loved the whole yard that was fenced in. The sunroom is great and has an awesome view of the mountains. Communication was good with Sam. Getting to places in Asheville were a breeze from here. I would definitely stay here again.
Nice, quiet, attractive and comfortable location. Easy parking with space between properties. Outside sitting areas. Enclosed front porch. The house is extremely comfortable with a nice sized tv, plenty of amenities and oodles of charging ports for everyone’s cell and tablet. The owner made it all easy! WONDERFUL place!
This super chic industrial farmhouse vibe has everything you'd need. Places to plug in all of your devices, including USB hubs and side tables with built-in plugs. Toiletries kindly provided. Excellent heating and air system. Keyless entry. Thoughtful spaces for your fur-babies. Nominal, reasonable cleaning requests for checkout. Fun and beautiful art pieces. Staying in this home for 5 days was an absolute pleasure!
Really enjoyed staying at this cottage. I liked everything about it, from the decor and furnishings to the pet friendly fenced yard. Our dogs enjoyed staying here also. Close by Asheville and major attractions.
Cute house! This house had everything we needed. This was our first time staying in Candler and it is a beautiful place. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!
What a great spot Sam has put together! Perfect location and amenities for you and your pups!Watch the sunrise with enclosed fenced yard and everything you need inside a very clean homeWill definitely stay there againSam was fantastic with communication and ease of access. Kitchen has everything you need and covered porch is nice touch
What a perfect home outside the hustle and bustle of Ash ille. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit at night while watching a perfect full moon at the bottom of a picturesque hill. The home was perfectly curated for an updated "step-back-in-time" vibe that instantly made you feel at home. Our little dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard and we all enjoyed the back porch. Perfect stay.
Very nice home! Beautifully decorated and updated bathrooms. The outside patio was so nice. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dig. We had plenty of room.
Wonderful vacation home in gorgeous green rolling hills
We stayed with our two toy dogs in Sam's place for 11 days in August 2024. The home is small but well equipped and comfortable. It has 2 TVs and superfast 5g internet connection. The garden has a fire pit and a grill. Best of all, the garden is huge and fenced in, our dogs went wild with joy. The area is 10 min from a large Ingles supermarket and within easy reach of shopping and chain restaurants. We hope to return in future and highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to explore the Asheville area.
If you’re looking for a peaceful countryside mountain getaway, Dogwood is an absolute gem of a choice.
Only 30 minutes from downtown Asheville, it offered everything we needed. The spacious fenced yard provided a secure area for our two smaller dogs to play and for us to take in picturesque surroundings. Nights were wonderfully tranquil, with clear, starry skies accompanied by the twinkling of fireflies. Mornings were equally serene, treating us to beautiful views of fog-draped mountain peaks and sunrises.
The home itself was impeccably clean and cozy, perfect for unwinding, with the porch, undoubtedly our favorite spot, offering an idyllic setting to enjoy morning coffee and the pleasant weather. True to its word, Dogwood was incredibly pet-friendly, equipped with all the essentials for our dogs, including bowls, toys, and towels.
Getting to and from the home was a breeze with the highway only a 5-minute drive away, ensuring easy travel to Asheville's attractions. There was also a well-stocked and organized Family Dollar within walking distance for any last-minute needs.
Sam proved to be an exceptional host, promptly addressing our inquiries and supplying a comprehensive binder with all necessary instructions and thoughtful recommendations for local dining and activities. Our experience was beyond exceptional and we’ve truly found our home away from home. We cannot wait to return.
Thanks, Sam!
The entire process was smooth. Great place to stay with your dog. The fenced yard is perfect. Everything was clean and well tended. Will definitely stay again.
I rented this house to visit family & had a family friend stay with me. The house was wonderful, the yard is great for the dog, & the location is perfect for easy access to everything. It’s also very quiet at night. I couldn’t have chosen any better.
If bringing your pups and location are your priority this is an amazing place. The fencing is perfect even for professional escape artists like my pups. This house is basically 20 minutes to downtown and lots of great hiking.
Host communication is the best I’ve ever experienced. Finally, there is just something special about the home. Can’t quite put a finger on it but it just makes you feel peaceful.
Will stay again for sure the next time we are back in the area.
We rented this home for a couple of weeks in between moving from our previous home into a new construction for which our builders needed some extra time to finish. We were excited about the location, the chance to experience a more rural stay (being city dwellers), and the huge fenced-in backyard that would be great for our dogs. Thankfully, the owner is an animal-lover and was very accommodating for our pets, which for us are our kids. Unfortunately, however, our stay was largely disrupted by lacking upkeep with maintenance issues for an old home.
The fact that this rental is a 90-year-old farmhouse is part of its charm. But, it also caused issues. The main door at the back of the house was difficult to close, the deadbolt was missing the strike plate, the door was literally falling off the hinges, and the latch on the attached screen was broken and unable to be locked. The front door of the home was just as bad because the screen door lock was faulty - disengaging from the frame at even a slight touch — and the deadbolt couldn’t be locked from the inside. It even blew completely open during one day of our stay when there were high winds. We were essentially in a home in which we never felt completely secure and ended our stay a week ahead of schedule.
We reported everything to the owner of course and he was very accommodating about giving a refund for the unused days. We hope, however, that the maintenance issues are addressed so the next guest has a better experience.
