Amazing location

Great house with lots of space for everyone. The playroom was amazing for the kids to burn some energy and the deck’s view was a nice escape for the adults.

Fantastic stay!

We loved staying here! The house was perfect for our large group and age range of children. It was very clean and provided all the amenities you would need. The host was also incredibly responsive and answered all of our questions well in advance of our stay so we could enjoy the house while there. Would absolutely book again!

Magical holiday stay with kids

This property is beautiful and wonderful for kids. We all enjoyed the amenities like the game room and hot tub. So many nice extras. Location was also good for us because we like being out in a more remote area, but close enough to Asheville’s amenities. Loved the views. Definitely would recommend!

Cousins trip

My family and I decided to have a cousins vacation after loosing my brother back in April and we all agreed Asheville sounded fun! The house was perfect size for all of us and provided plenty of things to keep the kids entertained and plenty for the adults to do as well, we definitely had a few competitive games of corn hole! The sauna and hot tub were also wonderful features!

Gorgeous House with Stunning View

We loved our stay here! The house is spacious, warm, well laid out, and full of very nice furniture and decor. It was a treat to be there. The pics are great, but don't do it justice. The Mountain View is incredible. The deck was surrounded by butterflies, which felt magical. The lower level was perfect for kids and teens - and adults as well. The primary suites were luxurious. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, playing the board games, and soaking in the hot tub. 25min drive to downtown which we didn't mind at all. Cell reception and direct tv were spotty but we didn't mind.

Spectacular views of NC mountains in the Fall!

Seven of us thoroughly enjoyed this luxurious mountain home estate (beautifully designed spaces inside and out)! Such a wonderful sprawling home; no one was in each other's way. Enjoyed our time in the outside hot tub and played lots of corn hole (supplied). Visited and read on the balcony most of the time because the weather and views were so calming. Didn't want to leave the house; nor get in the way of workers cleaning up Asheville post-Helene. We saw lots of damage our way in from Durham with no problem on I-40 getting to the Leicester Mountain Estate West of Asheville. On our way out, our GPS did take us onto River Road and we saw the damage at the French Broad River. Beautiful Country Estate! We highly recommend and we'd go back in a minute!

Wonderful birthday weekend 2nd year running

I had a great time with my friends! Enjoyed the sauna and the hot tub, the well stocked kitchen amenities. This year I was running behind on finishing work before heading to my stay and the WiFi is very slow so I headed into Asheville for a coworking space to finish my last bit of work. Unplugging is a must here. The misty views of the mountains in December won’t be forgotten.

QUIET LIVING

This rental property is amazing! The house is one of the most beautiful homes I have stayed in. The kitchen is well stocked And the game room allowed entertainment for the young ones a even fir the more mature. The area around is peaceful and exacy what we wanted....away from large crowds. The drive to Asheville was about 30 minutes And we were close enough to grocery stores and restaurants.

Perfect Christmas Family Gathering

We had such a great time having our Christmas here!! We had 10 adults comfortably stay for 5 days. 2 of the King size bedrooms had private bathrooms (perfect for 2 sets of older parents). The king bedroom in the basement was very comfortable and also had a great view of the mountain. The bunk bed is a full size (both top & bottom) in the game area and the other full size bed is also downstairs in it's own room. If it's important, there weren't windows in those two rooms. It was great to have a second fridge in the basement (there's a kitchen but we didn't use it), and we loved watching movies down there too! The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, a pressure cooker, and a giant coffee pot, the kitchen was very appreciated and served our big group well with our homemade family dinners. There were extra dining chairs so we were able to have all 10 of us sit at the table together. The location was great, about a 25 min drive to downtown.The views were spectacular, and we loved the soaking tub and the sauna!! Hope we can come back again soon!!

Family friendly and beautiful views

The house is lovely! The bedrooms accommodated our large family and parking was ample. The number of bathrooms and a large tub for little ones was much appreciated! The play area is so great for little ones too! Views from the deck are spectacular and the play area is amazing for small children. Mornings out on the deck are so peaceful. The need to tote garbage and recycleables a mile and avoid getting any food or oily debris in the garbage disposal was a surprise and somewhat inconvenient for a stay with a large number of people, but not too bad. I don’t recall seeing that in the property description, but it might be helpful for renters to know ahead of time.

Christmas memories over gifts

Our family asked to go on a trip together, over buying gifts for Christmas this year (2022). We rented this property the first week of January 2023. The rental was extremely clean, as pictured, amenities were above what was expected, & the communication between the property managers was excellent. It is secluded, but we LOVED our time together there.
