Great stay! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor space is so cozy and nice. Hot tub was a plus! Comfortable for a family of 4 with kids. We hope to return!
This House was cozy, yet spacious for our needs!! included everything we needed!!! Very well decorated and impeccably clean!!! I have already recommended to family members and friends fortheir next mountain getaway!!
This is a beautiful and cozy home that is great for families and entertaining. It makes a great place to hang out, a comfortable, inviting basecamp for exploring. We are looking forward to staying here again and spending more time in the area, enjoying God’s beautiful creations.
The host is top-notch and their place was a welcome, peaceful wknd haven. The house is spacious and every room is well furnished. Upstairs or downstairs there's an atmosphere of cozy cordial congeniality perfect for entertaining a small family or a larger grouo of friends. I will definitely want to return visit.
5 stars across the board!!!The property was fantastic. The listing was spot on and accurate and everything was super clean and ready for us when we arrived. Very open and user friendly and everything worked as it should have. The property itself is very nicely laid out with easy access to its amenities (see notes at the end) and contains most of the extras you would need for your stay. The photos of the spaces and rooms are accurate but they do not do justice to the huge deck on the main level or the patio below… they are huge spaces!All in all, we HIGHLY recommend this property if you are looking to stay in the Asheville/Mills River NC area!!!NOTES: The listing does currently state that the access road is gravel and during the winter 4 wheel drive is required. This is correct. The road has a steep incline and a pretty tight sharp turn on it. We were on a motorcycle riding vacation and are very seasoned riders and this hill and turn is very intimidating for bikes. Additionally the property itself has a pretty good slope to the back side of the home where the fire pit is. Overall we gave 5 stars for each category of this listing as it truly is a 5 star place. And, the owners were absolutely incredible… attentive and fast to respond to any questions we had!If you are looking for somewhere to stay in that area then this is an EXCELLENT choice!!!
