Great cabin
This place was very nice. It had great views and was very quiet. The kids enjoyed their space downstairs and we enjoyed the large master upstairs. We were close enough to Ashville and drove there daily. We loved the tree top adventure trails and sliding rock were great. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Views, Needs Some TLC.
The cabin is as advertised. Decks need to be cleaned and wasp nests removed. Rubber/plastic mattress covers make sleeping uncomfortable, especially the master bedroom. Not something I would expect for a quality hotel or resort which is the price we paid for 3 days. I have stayed in several VRBO homes and never have mattress covers like these. Views were wonderful and the hot tub was a plus. Fire pit was completely over grown with brush and weeds. Looked like nobody had used it or maintained it for years. All in all I would recommend if ownership would address the exterior cleaning and mattress covers.

Mountain house, Asheville,NC
The yard & house needed updating to match the pictures on VRBO. Garbage disposal was broke & kitchen sink was leaking. Took two day to get it fixed. On a good note TV, WiFi, A/C hot water all worked well. The view from the deck, although peeping paint, was as advertised.

Although there was an issue with the fireplace and grill being "out of order" during our January stay, our holiday adventure is one that we will likely repeat. The cabin was located in a very beautiful and friendly area!

beautiful setting!
We loved staying in this cabin in the mountains. Everything was very comfortable, and we had plenty of what we needed for our stay. I did leave some comments for the owners when we left. You might be sure to mention in the information that getting to the house after dark is quite tricky for those unused to mountain road driving. Arriving before dark would be preferable!

Great Family Getaway
The property was perfect for our family getaway. It was clean, the kitchen was adequately supplied to cook family meals, and the views were spectacular. We liked we were close enough to Asheville to take in the sites, yet far enough to feel we were truly on a mountain vacation.

Quiet and secluded
Overall, the home was in good shape, and had the necessary amenities. The outdoor fire pit was very nice, and offered relaxing evenings by the fire. The home was smaller than the photos showed, but there was plenty of space to spread out. The dirt road leading to the home was in pretty rough shape though, so low riding vehicles beware.
