Overall, staying here was okay, but I wasn’t blown away. The check in process was very easy and the proximity to Asheville was convenient for the price. We also really appreciated being able to bring our dogs. However, here are some things to consider before booking this home:
- It is located on a very busy road and the driveway is on a curve so visibility is very low. To add to this, cars drive by very quickly, without even knowing there is a driveway, making leaving the home difficult.
- The home lacked some basic necessities like body soap, shampoo, and a hair dryer.
- The bed in the primary bedroom was very uncomfortable.
- The home was overall clean, but had a musty smell. I think the hosts may have received this feedback in the past and used a lot of fabreeze spray to try to mask the smell. This was very strong on the sheets the first night and made me feel sorta sick.
- It’s very obvious that nobody has ever actually lived here because some common sense things are missing, for example, the bedroom nightstands are very small, there is no place to plug in a phone next to the bed (on one side), the bedroom door to the primary bedroom doesn’t latch, the pillows are weightless and are very uncomfortable, etc.
In general, this home has some flaws but if you can look past them, this is a good place to stay near Asheville for the price.
