Great place to stay
I spent the weekend with some friends here and the place was great. Clean, big and the game room kept us entertained. It was an easy trip into DT Asheville and to the airport. If you're in Asheville with a bigger group, you can't go wrong with this place.

Great Spot out of the Hustle of the City
This place was great for 3 couples. We had lots of space, great views of the mountains from the west facing front porch and easy access getting into and out of Asheville. We really enjoyed our stay.
