Rating Details: The property manager was very 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 house was very clean and is in good condition. It is a "true" rental with few personal touches (no salt/pepper, not many pics on the walls), but it suited our needs.

Home was in a safe area. All your needed amenities were there. Decorated clean and airy. One situation: texted owner twice with photos of stained mattress covers and never got a reply. Piled blankets on top in order to sleep on beds.

Loved the House and Black Mountain Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time hiking and leveraging the house location and the value of the modern house and how it was furnished. This is our second stay this year in the house and were a little disappointed in our experience of a shortage/lack of enough dish washing soap, no extra garbage bags and no extra toilet paper rolls in the bathroom cabinets.

It's a great property. Fenced in backyard was a plus for young kids. Wonderfully furnished. Everything was brand new. Great location, complete privacy. The only drawback was the master bedroom A/C didn't seem to work (or we couldn't figure it out) but the weather was so comfortable we never needed to bother the property manager about it. The rest of the house A/C worked fine so it was a very comfortable stay regardless.

Just the right getaway...
We decided on a last-minute getaway before the school year got started, and this was a perfect spot. Great location, clean, quiet, and comfortable. Comfy furniture and beds! The only reason I gave four stars on one category was due to a slight ant problem in the kitchen. The management company did direct us to some ant spray, but we had to deal with them often enough that we put ALL food in the fridge. Might be good to get a pest control company in to troubleshoot? Regardless, it didn't spoil our trip and we'd definitely recommend this home for anyone wanting a quiet getaway in the mountains. We would stay here again.

The worst experience I have ever had
Read all the “old” reviews before booking this house. It is not listed with all details correctly. Says they have air conditioning, but this house has zero air conditioning. Their answer was for my entire family to sleep in a one bedroom downstairs with fans. The most miserable night after driving 10 hours to arrive to a rental that was a complete sauna. Zero help from the management company. This house should not be allowed to be rented with false advertisement. Warning to anyone thinking of renting this house it is very hot without AC. This seems to be an on going issue as previous renters stated. I had no idea the air conditioning was not working. You will waste time trying to get answers and a solution while on vacation.

Pleasant Stay, Great Location
Cozy 2 story cabin style home with updated amenities. No need to bring your PacknPlay or Booster chair because they have them on site. The only issue we had is not the fault of the property owner. The split systems used to heat/cool the home are a little confusing. I would recommend looking up the video on how to work them when you get there. If its winter I recommend NOT turning the downstairs units above 68 degrees because it will COOK whoever is staying upstairs. Its a common problem in 2 story homes. Again, this is not the property owners fault and its not a complaint, I just want to give a heads up to the next party staying there so they don't cook themselves the first night like we did. The home is wonderful, and in a great location just a mile from Montreat and only 400 yards from a local food store. There is a nice fenced in outdoor area for kids to play. Lots of parking for visitors. Definitely a 5 star experience. The price is great too!

Friends Retreat
Such a wonderful mountain house…especially for a group of long-time friends celebrating 75 years!! It was very comfortable and cozy and had everything you would need for a family…down to a great book selection! I would definitely come back to this property. We loved Black Mtn. and enjoyed shopping and eating our way through the town!

Beautiful home
This home was modern with good WiFi. We had grandkids so the trundle beds, toys and the fenced in backyard was wonderful There was even a little table out back for the kids. The great room was spacious and the outdoor seating was nice. The house is at the end of a quiet road and the kids spotted a bear. We enjoyed our time here!

Good property for a large group. Needed to be cleaned better, many ants in living area, and the central A/C was inoperable and replacement portable units were inadequate on hot days.

Nice place
Enjoyed our stay at the property. The AC situation is not real good. During stay the temps only got to around 80 so wasn’t too bad. I would not stay here in summer as the home has an odd AC setup (individual room units). We never really could get to work and I suspect even if they do it doesn’t cool all that well. There are several window units scattered throughout the home. If I had been here in summer heat and had to use the portable units would probably just have checked out. Home is nice and neighborhood is great.

No Air, No dishwasher, Poor Management
Everything was clean and nice on arrival. We couldn't get the air to work (mini-split system). We thought it just needed more trouble-shooting. After spending two hours trying to get it work we opened the windows. Called the next morning at 7:30 am, no response by 12:00, so I texted, they acknowlegded my text at 12:22. But had not heard about any resolution at 2:26 so I called. Jackie said they would call me. Nothing by 3:44 so I texted again. They acknowledged my text at 3:51. Then at 3:58 they texted they would call me. I received a call at 5:00 saying they were bringing portable a/c units. We left for the evening and they were there when we returned. But they were poorly installed and kept popping out of the unit. We finally tired of dealing with them and opened the windows. Additionally, the dishwasher was broken. Which I know they knew about ahead of time. I am not sure if they knew about the a/c but one of the people I talked to mentioned that a part was on order so I suspect they were aware of this issue ahead of time. I am not happy about having to spend so much time with maintenance and trouble shooting while on vacation. We will not be staying here again or at any property managed by Vacasa. Which is too bad because it is a really nice house and location.

Great house
Had a nice stay over a long weekend with my family. Close enough to Asheville, about 20 minutes. The house was beautiful and new. Only problem we had was with the AC. The system kept shutting off and was very complicated to figure out. Glad it was spring and not mid summer.

Great house and stay. Very well equipped and maintained. Plenty of room for the four of us. We rate the home as a 5 but there is room for improvement. The AC units require a little more instruction other than on-line/app instructions, but being Spring, the temperature was fine. The bed mattresses need to be upgraded. This is for all the rooms and all beds. This was a downer but overall the house was a five star.
