XMAS VACATION

We were lucky enough to find this house after our original house cancelled on us. This house lacks nothing. Ashley was easy to work with and provided more detail about the house and surrounding area then any other property we have dealt with over the years. Convenient to both The Biltmore and The Polar Express. My grandkids tell me we are going back next Christmas. We will see if we can make that work. Definitely a house everyone should consider.

Family in town for a wedding.

Fantastic property that accomodated 6 generations of family, some whom traveled as far away as Australia. The house is very well appointed, spotless, and with a view that has to be seen to be appreciated. Thank you for an outstanding stay at Sweetwater.

Amazing Property!

Our family of 10 stayed at Sweetwater Lodge for 6 days mid October. It was a wonderful time for us. The property is even better in person than it looks online (which is saying something!). There was plenty of space for all of us and our various life stages, the furnishings and views were gorgeous, lots of touches that made us feel right at home. As we were celebrating a few milestones, the 10 of us being able to sit at one table (the views!) for family meals was so important to us. We had s’mores on our last night and saw wild turkeys and a deer just walked through. Very special place. We highly recommend and can’t wait to return again soon!

Sweetwater Lodge

We spent 4 night at Sweetwater Lodge celebrating my wife's birthday. We were joined by our adult children and 3 grandchildren. This home was perfect for our party of 10. We were close enough to Asheville and the airport but pleasantly removed from the hustle of the city. Great place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful mountains views. This was a re-energizing 4 days. The hosts were great to work with and answered all my questions (and there were plenty) promptly and graciously. Highly recommend this property!!!

Best VRBO ever

The home is gorgeous in a spectacular setting. It has everything one needs. As usual, we took some specialty utensils and pans, but they weren't needed. Ashley is a great communicator and the check in was so easy. We appreciated the information provided in advance and made reservations at Chef's Table in Waynesville. If you like wonderful food in a cozy dining room, don't miss it. Hopefully, we will be able to return to Sweetwater Lodge.

A Beautiful Home in the Mountains

We had a wonderful family reunion at the Sweetwater Lodge just outside Asheville, NC. The house was beautiful and had all the high-end amenities one could possibly need. The kitchen was large and well equipped! The dining room had a very large round table where all nine of us could eat, laugh, play games, and enjoy each other’s company. We all loved the lazy susan in the middle of the table. We have five beautiful days of sunshine and loved the view and the sunsets! The porch is large with a wonderful table that we had fun creating ‘arts & crafts’ together! Many hours were spent enjoying the great pool table and the jacuzzi! One night under the stars we had fun making s’mores. There are large televisions in every room and music can be piped through the entire three level house. Each day the family went on adventures that were located within a 30 – 60 minute drive; of course one was the beautiful gardens at the Biltmore Estates.

Week of family Joy

This spacious home combines beauty and comfort in its interior and exterior. The huge round table dining with large lazy-susan gave our large family “community”, joy and face to face time together. Whether watching sunsets or playing pool; children with lots of deck time and bubble maker; 1000 piece puzzle jointly accomplished…all of us would like to return to this amazing Sweetwater Lodge!

Great family vacation!

There were ten of us and the house fit us perfectly. Lots of room for everyone to spread out and get together. Grandkids got to see fireflies for the first time. Also saw a bobcat in the yard. Had a great time exploring the area, Ashville, Black Mountain, Biltmore and even did a walk with llamas at Earthshine Lodge. Property manager was very responsive.

The most responsive host and a gorgeous property

This vacation house for our holiday with family and friends was everything we expected, and more. The house had lovely views of the mountains, and it was equipped with anything we could have wanted. Other than groceries, we didn’t have to buy a thing other than extra paper products! (We were still discovering some of the amenities the day before we left!) The house is convenient to all the Asheville and Waynesville/Maggie Valley attractions, and is designed so that it easily held our entire party of 8 adults and 2 children while still affording us all our privacy. Ashley also provided us with a Pack and Play for our one-year-old! We can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful Family Stay

Sweetwater Lodge was just perfect for our family vacation! Plenty of room, and space for our extended family. The kitchen was beautifully appointed with many added amenities such as Expresso,vita mixer, and large waffle iron which was certainly a hit! Also, a full under counter ice maker, that was in constant use. The grill was exceptionally clean and in beautifull condition as was the Solo stove for evening gathering. The dining table accommodated all of us and the beds were extremely comfortable. We had a bit of bad weather, so the family had many delightful games of pool and the hot tub soaked away the days fun of zip lining, white water rafting, tubing and long walks in the NC Botanical Gardens. Our Host was always accommodating and available 24-7. A truly wonderful vacation rental that we all would recommend and give 5 stars!

Lovely luxury rental property

We had a great stay at the Sweetwater Lodge. The house itself is beautiful and it was well equipped for cooking, etc….it even had a Vitamix. It’s in a beautiful area pretty close to Asheville but more secluded. Ashley (our host) was very attentive to our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Sweetwater Cabin

We just did a nice vacation with friends and family. This cabin has everything you need and the property is beautiful. We even had a Christmas tree in the living room and saw a few deer in the front yard one morning. We went and explored some great food places in Asheville and had a wonderful time at Sierra Nevada Brewery. We highly recommend this place for a big group. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place with us!

Group trip

Three families left sunny Florida to come to the mountains to enjoy the change of seasons and start the Christmas celebration early. The house was immaculate, every wife in the family has an extra long Christmas list after visiting this house. Everything was very high end. The kids enjoyed sleepovers in the bunk bed room while the adults enjoyed peace and quiet in their own rooms (sans kids). The house was plenty big for a group of 6 adults, 5 kids. It was centrally located to all the attractions we went there for. I know all 3 couples will definitely come back and stay. Not to mention the host was very attentive (we left mid hurricane) and she was very understanding that we would need an earlier check in. 10/10 highly recommend
