Convenient Location to Asheville and Blue Ridge Parkway
We were especially impressed with the cleanliness, the location close to town (15 min. from Asheville and 5 min, form Blue Ridge Parkway) and the view of the mountains. We had 2 little dogs so we brought our own sheets to put on the bed so can't comment on sheets but the mattress was comfortable. We chose this place for the view and not to far from town and it was as expected. Good location and nice view and very private. Just what we were looking for because of the dogs also. The grounds has good space to let the dogs run around a bit. They loved it. The roads were great until you got to the private road that the house is located on. It needs some attention. You have to go very slow to avoid deep pot holes but we managed. I'm glad we were driving my husband's Honda Passport. Could be a bit challenging for a car.

Great location and Moungain views
Great place to stay with amazing views of the mountains and so close to town. We had an amazing time staying here. So close to the blue ridge parkway and downtown Asheville. The house was so clean, orangized and had everything h we needed for our week long stay. The host Lindsay was great with communication and recommendations. We look forward to returning in the future.

Great value. Good view
Very happy with our stay. Nice view from the deck. Clean rental. Good host communication. Fair price. A few tips for future renters: the driveway is steep and not easy to find, but any car can make it. Take your time on Fox Den, there are some large pot-holes near the bottom of the hill. The rental is on the second level. We did not see any bears. The house is in a very quiet spot in the woods, but a short drive to downtown Asheville. Perfect combination for a peaceful weekend.

Great cabin
We enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the attention to details of our host. It was nice to have Kleenex, napkins, and extra counter space for tolietries in the bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the Biltmore as well as tubing in Mars Hill. It even snowed Friday night! The kids loved the loft area as they felt like they had a space to themselves. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Quiet getaway
Very cozy and warm with amazing views of mountains. Close drive to get coffees, breakfast, groceries and downtown. A little longer drive for the cool hikes, and they were worth it. We brought our dog with us and the owner's rules were reasonable and easy to follow. We loved how dog friendly Asheville is. This place gets 10/10

The Perfect View
The view!!! This home has the perfect view. I watched the sunset every evening on the balcony and it was perfection. The home is tucked away in the woods yet so close to everything. It is literally the perfect getaway. The owner was very welcoming and communicated quickly. The home was clean and kitchen stocked with essentials. I cannot wait to bring my family. I will definitely be booking again and recommending this home to everyone! Thank you so much!

Great Location
Enjoyed our stay here. The location is great as it is only 10 mins from downtown Asheville and about 15 to Black Mountain. The view is excellent and the house was easy to find. However there are a few items to note. *It says you do not need a 4 wheel drive car, you technically do not but there are some major huge holes everywhere on the drive up. Also the driveway is very tricky for multiple cars. We have a Chevy and a Ford F150. They have a few trees blocking the driveway so you really have to park the cars just right. There was not much room for the truck at all. I would suggest to just cut down the 2 trees in the middle of the driveway to make it more open for cars to fit. *The washer and dryer on site are rusting. Did not use because they were covered in rust. Maybe they worked fine but they 100% looked rough. We did see some wildlife at the house! Turkeys, a huge bear and lots of bunnies.

Comfortable house in the woods
This open-plan house feels relaxing from the moment you step in, and the feeling grows as you notice the attention to the details by the owners. It was super clean, well-stocked with cooking needs, had an amazing view, and all the linens felt fresh. The woodsy location felt safe for kids and for evening dog walking. Perhaps it was only my luck, but I also had blue skies every day, even though other parts of Asheville had clouds. Highly recommend!

Very Clean!
It was a little dated and I am not sure if I just missed the information but I think it is important to know that the loft only has a spiral staircase and both bathrooms are downstairs. It wasn't a problem for me because my children are adults. It could be a problem for small children or elderly.

Great getaway
This was a great property with a wonderful view. It had all the amenities of home inside and was as described. It's a ways up the mountain but a close (15-20 min) drive to main attractions such as the Biltmore and downtown areas. Core things like grocery store, fast food and a couple restaurants were close. Dish TV helped occupy our time the few evenings we were in the house. The 2nd big bedroom was up circular stairs and no bathroom up, so just be aware of how agile the people are that will be up in that BR. IT wasn't a problem for us. Host was very responsive to any questions we had. We loved our stay and would definitely go back again!
