This place is absolutely awesome. Would stay again without hesitation. Places to eat really close but doesn't feel like it at all on the property.

Our stay

The property was a good stay for a night or two. It is a one bedroom, one bath with kitchen and den which are an open floor plan above a garage with screened in porch. Steep stairs to the apt/loft. The unit was clean other than floors slick. The hot tub nice. No real check in or out process. Door code was published in VRBO write-up? No additional deadbolt on door. The property owner was not communicative until 10pm on our last night of our stay after 2 messages sent. We did not have access to WIFI for the 2 days stay due to not knowing the router name or pw. Need to fix the shower plunger as it takes force to push in to activate the shower. Again, communicating with property owner through VRBO site was not effective .

Disappointing at Best

I planned to stay in a quiet tree house, like one bedroom with a hot tub, ahead of a more extended trip to work. The place had cobwebs all over. The kitchen was poorly stocked, and no real pots to make a bowl of pasta. The kitchen table that I planned to work on in the photo did not exist; it was a high top for two. Then, a squirrel decided to take up residence on the porch where I planned to spend my evenings. When I suggested the host call animal control, he wanted to send me a link about the squirrel. It was so "tame" that it tried to jump in my lap. And the A/C was an ancient single-window unit that did not cool the bedroom down. Not something I signed up for.

Overnight anniversary

Had an internet issue but Karl called and I was able to get on later. Cute and nice place to stay. Porch and living area cushions could have better support, felt like sitting on a board. Easy fix. Loved the porch area.

Amazing private secluded gem 15 minutes from everywhere

First of all Karl was extremely kind and accommodating. The photos online do not do this place justice. upon arriving we traveled down a little stone road and our place was in the very back. We had our own carport, surrounded by woods, a small wooden bridge that lead to a beautiful wooded area with a firepit. We walked in through the screened in porch which we saw the beautiful hot tub and propane firepit. We got our code from Karl and proceeded up a flight of stairs into an extremely clean beautifully decorated kitchen and living room. The bedroom was also very clean with an attached bathroom. The decor around the place was super cool too. Although it shared a space with another guest, you are completely separated, and could not hear the other neighbor. Their entrance is on the other side of the property which is also secluded off from ours. We were able to enjoy our privacy, in a secluded peaceful space. We enjoyed the hot tub late at night and having a firepit right next to it and a backyard view of the woods was the best part. Karl was always available if we needed anything, and despite what other reviews said, it was in a neighborhood but tucked away down a long stone driveway. We’ve stayed at many places in Asheville and this was by far our favorite. Air conditioning worked amazing and the living room tv and couch was a nice. Highly recommend to anyone that wants that nice private secluded space in the woods, that is extremely close to downtown, and much more.

Lovely little loft!

Upon entering the door the fresh smell of clean hit my nostrils and the soothing sound of jazz filled my ears. Pleasantly surprised at the size of the loft and the hot tub was the most wonderful treat. We truly enjoyed our stay and would like to book again. So glad I found this place, thanks Karl for having us as guests.

Bday weekend

Overall, it was good. The first night was terribly windy and the screen door doesn’t shut all the way, so it kept whipping open and loudly slamming shut. Def would have been nice if the TV had more than just Netflix. Bed was uncomfortable, but otherwise, we had an overall really positive experience.

Nice place, you have everything you could need close at 10 or less min driving. The hot tube is a little exposed and with wind gets cold.

Cute little bungalow

I was a little nervous due to not getting the checkin information until I reached out to the owner. Luckily communication was great from there on out. Owner was very attentive. Neighborhood was good. Apartment was in the middle of several homes but mostly private. Very quiet neighborhood

Perfect location

The apartment was roomy for just the two of us. The location was close to the Dupont state park, Biltmore estate, and Pisgah national forest. Karl, the property owner was very accessible and helpful. Because we stayed when the temperature was in the 20s at night, we didn't get to use the hot tub (maybe next time). As cold as the temperature was outside, the apartment was well heated. Would stay here again if we visit NC.

Relaxing stay

We enjoyed staying at Carl's place! The bed was comfortable and the hot tub was relaxing. The location was only about a 20 minute drive to the Biltmore estate which we came to visit and about the same distance to downtown Asheville. My only suggestion for Carl would be to add some Tupperware, or aluminum foil to the kitchen since we had some leftovers and it would have been helpful to have something to refrigerate them in. Consider adding more glasses and dishes as well. Otherwise though the place was perfect for us.
