This house was great for a long weekend with family friends! It's very picturesque, almost like a Lake Tahoe ski cabin. We didn't use it, but the kitchen seemed to be stocked with enough things to cook with. The lack of AC wasn't a problem even in August, we slept with the windows open and remained cool enough. The primary bathroom was large and water pressure was great. Location is super convenient to downtown Asheville, and the view is scenic. We did indeed get visited by the neighborhood bear (mama bear with 3 cubs, in fact)... probably the highlight of our whole trip, if you ask the young ones!
Sydney was great to communicate with, and super helpful to our group.
Minor note: the house is older and sounds like it. You can hear the floorboards creaking pretty loudly everywhere someone walks, so the whole cabin was inevitably woken up when the early risers start moving around :) Would definitely stay here again though!
