I cannot believe how nice this place was. The pictures do not do justice at all. Everything is clean and new. Love the couch-it’s like AMC seats! It’s very close to downtown. I would love to stay again in the future.

10.0 / 10.0

Very clean and quaint. Would stay again!

10.0 / 10.0

Charming, private cabin on a mountainside yet close to local attractions. We were greeted by wood thrush song and a bear sighting! The high back porch was the perfect spot for coffee, birdwatching, or a good book. Comfy bed, separate lower level we didn’t use also has outdoor access. Great spot!

10.0 / 10.0

Great stay! The patio is amazing, kitchen is well appointed, rooms are comfy. Overall a great location, we will be back!

10.0 / 10.0

Clean stay, great communication from owner. Easy to get to property, yet still had a feeling of "away from it all". Wish the fire pit was more useable, but overall an excellent experience!

10.0 / 10.0

Rental was just what we were looking for. We DO NOT have pets and this was a great rental.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved the house. Very spacious and beds were comfortable. Owner was great with communication. Location was scenic and very convenient.

8.0 / 10.0

It was nice and cozy. It had everything we needed to accommodate our needs. It was human hair and dog hair in certain parts of the house. The owners communicated well. The biggest complaint we had was, no streetlights, and only one car up or down the road at one time. Overall, it was relaxing and we enjoyed it.

10.0 / 10.0

We explored Asheville, the food and art scene. The house was within an easy 15 minute drive to downtown, so very convenient. Our host was very accommodating.

10.0 / 10.0

Just what we were looking for. Quiet and in the woods, but very convenient to get to Asheville or Black Mountain. Comfortable and spacious, and we only used the upper floor. The kitchen is awesome. Great communication from Rodney answering questions I had. It pains me to give 5 stars only because I can't give 6. Will definitely be back.

10.0 / 10.0

We’ve been renting vacation homes for 40 years. This was hands down the cleanest!Also, this was the first time I didn’t regret not bringing my own knives. A nice selection of sharp knives and a knife sharpener are almost unheard of in rental properties. Additionally, the bedding was comfortable, the water was super hot, the covered deck was private, and the fenced backyard provided a worry-free place for our dogs to hang.The location is secluded enough that we sited a bear and wild turkey, yet it only minutes to a grocery store. True, the road is a bit rough, but it’s short, and post Helene, at least it’s very passable.Highly recommend this home!

10.0 / 10.0

High Windy isn’t a clever name .. it is indeed high and windy! Both of those make for a terrific stay in the NC Mountains. It was a perfect location to explore points east and west and enjoy nature and clean air. We’ll certainly be back.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved our first stay. Upgrade to the main bedroom was a plus for this stay. For families with pets, the fenced-in yard is great. For us, the vista is memorable, and so glad the hosts share this house with us.

10.0 / 10.0

This house had everything, and it was clean and super-comfortable! Upstairs you have a modern kitchen, living room with reclining sofa, bedroom with king bed, walk-in closet with washer and dryer, and bathroom with shower. Downstairs is similar, but with a smaller kitchen and tub/shower. A wrap-around deck provides gorgeous views.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful view with a fenced in yard. Super comfortable home.

10.0 / 10.0

The property is perfectly located for things to do in the Ashville area. House is really nice and well kept. My amazement of using touch lamps again took me back to when I was a kid. Has a really nice view looking over the valley with a large back porch. Just be prepared for the ride up the side of the mountain to get to the house. I found it to be exciting and really lets you know you are staying in the mountains. You will love this place if you are wondering to book or not.

10.0 / 10.0

The house was perfect , the owner answer quick and they were very nice , the house have Everything for a perfect stay!!! My kids enjoy the fire pit , the mountains view the snow. We will definitely comeback again thanknyou so much

Absolutely love this place. Family loved it and fit us perfect! We have a new family getaway!! Very quiet and serene with awesome views of the Blue Ridge. I would see this as a seasonal getaway…meaning any season would be great!

10.0 / 10.0

Our stay was wonderful. The home was clean and very nice. Perfect accomodations for 2 couples with the separate space downstairs. The only thing I would change is more seating space in the living room. Overall 10 out of 10.

4.0 / 10.0

I was there for a wedding, with my mother that is 90 years old. The house is beautiful, but the terrain and getting around was completely difficult for us. Then we knew the hurricane Helene was coming through, and the day that we got to the property within one hour. I called them to cancel, everything. I knew that it was not going to be some thing that we could handle, the driveway was extremely small and I have And all wheel drive vehicle and spun my tires just trying to get up the mountain. I was extremely dissatisfied with the description of the property, and the fact that they would not even work with me for a refund. Even after we called the first hour we were there.

10.0 / 10.0

The house is incredibly clean, communication with the owner was perfect, and proximity to Asheville was fantastic!

10.0 / 10.0

The property and location are just as described and we loved feeling like we were secluded in the woods but close to town and lots of things to do. We went to two breweries, took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, saw several waterfalls. We also enjoyed watching the bears eating acorns while we sat on the deck. It was also a great space for our dog with the fenced yard and decks. Would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area!

10.0 / 10.0

Great stay. Owners were fantastic. Perfect distance to Asheville but still secluded. Will stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

The hosts were respondive if I had questions. The house was exactly how it was described. It was exactly what I was looking for with my family and dog.

10.0 / 10.0

Place was perfect for us. Kitchen appliances new and well stocked in the way of dishes, glassware, etc. Upstairs bedroom/bath and kitchen/living area with TV. Downstairs bedroom/bath and kitchenette. I can see using the downstairs for a 2nd couple/friend/child/parent ... Wonderful back porch overlooking small, fenced yard. The road (driveway of sorts) needs a little work but we made it just fine. Wonderful communication with owners - they didn't bother us at all but replied to messages quickly. We're already talking about a return trip-

8.0 / 10.0

House was quite nice. Everything new and in good order. Exactly what we wanted. But … the road up the mountain is dangerous. It is in poor repair, narrow, unlit, and without guardrails. We went to lengths to avoid driving it at night or in the rain. It is not the owner’s responsibility, but a distinct drawback

10.0 / 10.0

Loved the place.

10.0 / 10.0

I can’t say enough about the property and the hosts. We were there a month, and I could have stayed another 30 days. The back deck is so peaceful…birds, butterflies, deer, and an occasional bear. Had doggies with us, and the fenced in yard is in perfect shape. Kitchen is spacious, and bedrooms and baths are well laid out as well. It’s 3 minutes down the mountain and 15 min to Black Mountain or downtown Asheville. I really hope we have the opportunity to return.

10.0 / 10.0

Our stay at High Windy was wonderful! We were in town for a family wedding at the Biltmore and the location was perfect - only about 15 minutes from away. We also have friends in the area and enjoyed the fabulous hiking trails. The road up the the house is very steep and narrow but otherwise we loved the house and would definitely recommend!

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful property and very well maintained. Only shortcoming is the lack of comfortable seating in the living room.

10.0 / 10.0

Very nice property, convenient to East Asheville. The road to house was a little daunting at first but soon was comfortable. Beautiful wrap around porch for quiet time.

10.0 / 10.0

The property was great, impeccably clean, and well-equipped as per the property description. The deck was very appealing but we missed out on spending more quality time thereon appreciating the view and the solitude because it always seemed to be 'windy' and a wee bit chilly. The drive up to the property was not exactly for the faint of heart, in fact the steepness and twists were a bit daunting at first but we soon got used to it. Overall we had a great time and were well pleased with the facility while communication with the owners was instant and very pleasant. JFYI the property is about 5 miles from downtown Asheville but it's an easy drive. Two enthusiastic thumbs up from myself, my wife and my daughter.

BEAUTIFUL HOME. HAD EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

10.0 / 10.0

My sister lives in Arizona & I live in Florida so we decided this year to meet in Asheville instead of one of us going to see the other in their home state. The home was perfect it was secluded & quiet and so relaxing essentially it was PERFECT!! Just what we needed!!!

10.0 / 10.0

Great location. Loved the drive up and down the small mountain with my toyota minivan. We went to Ober mountain Gatlinburg 2 hrs away my teen kids loved it. Ddnt hav time for Spa experience may be next time.

10.0 / 10.0

We had such a great stay and the owners were very responsive to questions we had. It’s clean and in a stunningly beautiful location— feels miles from anything, but super close to the Parkway and easy to get into town. Beautiful sunsets, nice backyard for our dog to run. One caution, if you are arriving at night, the road is quite steep with sharp turns and some potholes. It’s less intimidating in the day, but not for the faint of heart (or low clearance vehicle). Otherwise, I have no reservations about highly recommending this place for a visit to Asheville.

10.0 / 10.0

Great house and perfect for my wife, dog and I. Reasonable rates, clean and comfortable. The owners, Rodney & Katie were very kind and responsive to our questions. The location was perfect for us, literally a 15 minute drive or less to everything we wanted to see in and around Asheville. Great wintertime views of the surrounding mountains. We would stay here again, for sure. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! Take care, Christian, Rhonda & Hobbs
