Howie's Hideout offered the perfect getaway for our family of 6 (plus the eldest's boyfriend). We had plenty of space to spread out (two living areas - one upstairs & one below) two side porches and a large back deck, a large eat in kitchen). The utilization of space is amazing! We could gather together for meals or a college football game and then all find our own spots to read, play games or sit on the back deck and enjoy the view. We loved the views of the mountains - especially from the large window in the living room - and the views within the house - winsome art and signs and gorgeous stained glass windows. The location was great - easy access to everywhere you want to be in Asheville - The River Arts District, Biltmore, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and downtown Asheville. We appreciated the quick responses and tips from Stephanie. Highly recommend.
