Beautiful home in the woods!
We spent 6 nights at Bair Necessities. The cabin is tucked back in the woods, thru winding roads. The woods are thick around the cabin so there are no mtn views. Short drive to Old Fort or Black Mountain in the opposite direction. Lots of great eating & shopping in Black Mtn. The house is beautiful and lots of room to move around. The basement had a lot of fun games for adults (kids would enjoy too) and the hot tub was awesome to relax in the evening. The only reason I gave it 4 stars for cleanliness was the amount of spider webs that were inside the house and outside too. They were literally everywhere as if the house hadn't had a visitor in months. We cleaned up the webs that were in our way and it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves!

Cozy getaway
Overall, we were satisfied with our stay. Pros: wood burning fireplace and wood supply; very spacious; lots of bathrooms; game room. Cons: wasps and dead bugs throughout the inside - contacted the management company on Saturday as I am highly allergic to wasps and they didn't call pest control out until Tuesday and no one ever showed up. Hot tub water was not clean, management company said they would reach out to the owner for part refund and I have not heard back from management company after further inquiry. We were attracted to the remote location, however future renters need to know that the wifi is very slow and minimal. We could connect our phones to it, but not computers. It is not a spot to work from home. The game room could use new ping pong paddles and needs darts for the dart board. The home is beautiful and cozy. It is the perfect getaway for quality screen free family time which is what we were looking for. We enjoyed it, just wish the hot tub would have been working and the pests would have not been an issue, especially for the price.

Cozy Cabin
This cabin exceeded our expectations! There were six of us who stayed here and it was very spacious. There were two peacocks that greeted us on arrival. We loved the big windows which brought in a lot of natural light. The drive to the cabin is quite smooth and the actual driveway is a little steep but we were all able to manage to get up with two wheel drive cars. The cabin was well stocked with firewood which we utilized with the lovely indoor fireplace. The kitchen was stocked with pots/pans and some main supplies like flour, oil, seasonings, etc. The hot tub was amazing and plenty big for the six of us. At night the front porch and deck was amazing for stargazing. 10/10 stay.

We loved the Cabin itself and enjoyed all the amenities that came with it. We don't understand why 2 of the smoke detectors were missing? I would hope they would be replaced before the next rental. We all enjoyed the cabin and would definitely stay there again!

Perfect getaway!
Very nice cabin getaway that is a bit off the path. The road to get to the cabin is unpaved in some places and quite steep. The cabin itself is very clean and well maintained. We had no issues with any appliances or supplies. One very important thing for us is to NOT call for help. It's good to have service a available but much better to not need it at all. The peacocks were an unexpected, but welcome surprise. They blended in beautifully into the beauty around us. They were not bothersome, and seemed comfortable around humans. They visited us everyday, in the morning and in the evening. All in all, wonderful stay.

Great place to get away in the mountains, property was clean and spacious. Parking for more than 2 vehicles could be potentially challenging and the access road is quite steep. The game room and hot tub were excellent, kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

A little slice of heaven
My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend at Bair Necessities. We enjoyed our coffee on the back deck while listening to the calls of the wild peacocks, hawks, and the chattering of squirrels. Our time at Bair Necessities was so relaxing. We loved having a game room, such fun! We plan on coming back as soon as we can!!

Sad Situation
The property had three major issues: 1. No Wi-Fi, I was essentially told that it isn’t the property owners issue and they won’t do anything to help. 2. Hot tub was gross and moldy, there were no chemicals in the house to even self service the hot tub, I was offered a refund and it was never given by the owners. 3. The owners didn’t get the last renters trash off the property and a bear destroyed the bear box and damaged my rental car. The owners claimed this was an act of god and would not provide me with the property insurance information. I had to contact VRBO for this information. In short, the property is not as listed and the owners treat you poorly. I asked for a refund since we left the property after the bear attacked. There was garbage all over and the owners were not going to clean it up. The bears would have come back that night and probably started into the house for more food. The owners denied any refund, claiming we should have known the risks of bears attacking and damaging the rental car.

The house was perfect for our needs
The house was perfect for what our family needed. Extra effort and care was evident in the Christmas decorations throughout the house. We woke up each day and watched the sun rise from the back deck. The house was well laid out and we loved the game room. I would advise first time visitors to find the house during the day.

Sad place
It was nice when we got there seeing the nice cabin in the woods. When we came inside it was okay, until we saw a sectional sofa. However the sectional sofa was a half one. It was ripped, it was covered with awful spots. It was stained! God only knows with what! My sister’s husband put the comforters from one of the rooms on the sofa. My brother-in-law is a retired disabled veteran. Who does everything by the book. He took pictures of everything. On the next day my Brother-In-Law found two pills under the bed in the first bedroom under the bed. He was trying to find a Sox that he lost. I told him what if we had a little kid that went under the bed and they too the capsule and ate it? The floors was nasty it was a bad experience!

Quaint cabin in a secluded setting.
We really enjoyed our long weekend in this cabin. It was very clean and we appreciated all the supplies that some rentals do not. Plenty of TP, paper towels, dishwashing liquid, dish washers pods, and laundry room with soap in the basement. Beautiful interior with all the wood. Great hiking trails nearby. Beds comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. The driveway is steep so you need to be aware of that. Suggestions to owner would be…..place a house number sign more prominently at the top of your driveway. And add some gravel at the base of Hobson Road where you turn in.

Truly a getaway!
An easy trip, with a surprise ending---as this property is tucked back deep in the woods for a perfect remote feeling getaway from the hustle and bustle. The interior of the property was clean, and boasts that true mountain cabin feel. Beds were comfy, amenities were adequate for cooking at home, and the game room was perfect for our pre-teen kids to enjoy while we were there! It was nice to be outside of Asheville and explore the surrounding towns...Old Fort and Black Mountain, and still convenient to go into Asheville for activities. The best surprise was being greeted one morning by two beautiful peacocks on the back deck! This doesnt need to be posted, but my only complaint would be the exterior of the home. There outdoor patio and furniture were covered in bird poop (seems this would be cleaned up a bit) and the porch seemed to be leaning, which didnt make us feel comfortable spending time outside.

Fantastic mountain getaway!
The house and view are fantastic! We had a mini family reunion there with our family of 5 plus one set of grandparents as well as some local family that came to visit during the days. The space was perfect, back porch and the basement with the game room were the favorite hangouts for the week. Location is great, remote enough to be peaceful but close enough to everything, would highly recommend this property!

Pleasant getaway!
We had a nice stay here! Easy check-in/out. Property is perfectly tucked away but still close to Black Mountain, etc. Linens and beds were comfortable. Washer & dryer available. One important note: Please be “Bear Aware” and smart when in the mountains! (Bear-proof trash bin was knocked over at our arrival & we did see one during our stay.) We also saw peacocks, a hawk, and a turkey. If you’re a mountain biker, there’s very easy access to trails from the cabin, too. House manual was helpful and had some nice local outdoor suggestions as well. Thanks for a good stay!
