Mtn. Views, Hot Tub, Garage w/EV Charger, 10 min. to DT and Biltmore House

I don’t know how to fully explain how wonderful this place is. Suffice it to say I have zero complaints or concerns, and that’s never been completely the case with anywhere I’ve ever stayed! I can’t even choose my favorite thing— perhaps it’s the sense of being up in the trees from every vantage point in the house. Perhaps it’s the ease with which you can get almost anywhere, including the Blue Ridge Parkway with its breathtaking views and variety of hikes, downtown Asheville, Weaverville, the Folk Art Center, etc. Perhaps it’s the responsiveness of the hosts, or the pristine condition of the house. Or maybe all of the above. I would choose this place anytime I return to Asheville!

They thought of everything! I really appreciated all the little things that were done to make the stay more convenient, e.g. fully stocked kitchen, clear instructions for literally everything, nalgene water bottles to pack for hiking, half and half for coffee in the fridge, a bidet on every toilet and yoga mats in the closet. We had rainy weather all weekend so didn't get to hike as much as I wanted, but we had a great time just hanging out enjoying this home.

Great home, well equipped with everything you need, beautiful peaceful neighborhood surrounded by nature. Super clean and super organized. Very responsive hosts. My only critique would be the main level furniture (couch, kitchen table & chairs…) is not very comfortable at all (IKEA) so after a while your back will start to ache. I couldn’t even fit my legs under the kitchen table comfortably. (I’m 5’10”) We ended up piling in the master bedroom king sized bed to watch a movie in the evening because the seating downstairs was not conducive to lounging.

The house was new and set up very nicely. The owner had clearly put a lot of effort into little details that made for a nice stay (plenty of charger ports by beds, night lights, towel hooks, walking sticks and even news papers for protecting your car from the mud from hikes, nice bird feeders outside the windows, and lots of little amenities that were a nice touch). The beds were comfortable and there was lots of comfortable seating. But the owner's house is next door. This was not mentioned in the listing and had a big impact on our stay - hence the three star rating for what would have been five. My wife was in the hot tub by herself for a bit then came upstairs. Forty-five minutes later she got a text message from the owner that we had left the cover off the hut tub. I get that the owner wants to keep the cover on, but this made the rest of the stay feel pretty awkward because we felt like we were being watched. She didn't want to get back in the hot tub or even use the back deck that faces their house. A lot of the appeal of a cabin is the feeling of seclusion and that illusion was broken knowing someone next door was watching the house.
