Perfect long weekend getaway

What a wonderful stay in a beautiful location near Asheville, Black Mountain, etc. The house was clean, well-equipped, and the communication was top-notch. We especially loved the hot tub and huge wood-burning fireplace. It was just what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some quiet and spectacular mountain views. The sunset from the hot tub is not to be missed.

Amazing view

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is the best we’ve seen. Small kitchen if that matters to you. Comfortable beds . Plenty of room. They had Roku TVs so we were able to login to our Netflix accounts, which made the kids happy. The downstairs bath/ shower never got cold so everyone just bathed upstairs. The internet connection is intermittent but all I personally cared about was that fabulous view! Also, ping pong in the basement. It would be nice to have a book with local things to do. We used the website romanticasheville and that was very helpful. Plus I left tons of maps etc The directions were a little off from the company but we figured it out. Oh and the address is wrong but only by one number:)
