“Seriously so great” …

Our 13, 10, and 8 year old give it 10 out of 5 stars. The 8 year old claims “it’s seriously so great”. We rent a LOT of vacation rentals and the details at this house was very thoughtful, the house was clean and I would definitely recommend. The owners communication was also fantastic!

Fantastic stay!

We had an incredible time staying at this location. House was outstanding for large groups. We had plenty of space and several options for gathering areas to hang out together. The game room has literally everything you could want and more. The outdoor area is awesome with several gathering options, games, hot tub and sauna. There is also a fire pit. The inside of the house is spacious and clean with all the things you need for a comfortable stay. Location was an easy drive into Asheville and beautifully located in the woods, secluded and quiet. Highly recommend!

Perfect spot for our group

The house comfortably fit our group of 13, and the incredible selection of games and activities kept us entertained for our entire stay. The house is everything we could have asked for, and not a single person in our group had a negative thing to say. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great well stocked house for groups

Enjoyed the stay at this house. The game room was great for a night in when it was raining and the backyard was very usable when the weather was nice out. The beds were comfortable and the pictures online were accurate.
