House was lovely and had everything we needed for a holiday getaway. Very close to Asheville and the NC Arboretum. Host was very responsive to our questions. Would definitely return.

Thank you for staying with us, Heather! You and your family are welcome back anytime :)
We had a good stay overall. The property was beautiful and the amenities were very nice. The hot tub was amazing and we loved the fire pit. Our only complaint was the master bath, the water heater might need to be looked at. They allowed us a free late checkout which was appreciated. Would definitely recommend it, we hope to go again in the future.
