This is a conveniently located space to everything my family needed. We went to the nearby Farmer's market, many of the close by Hiking Trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway (10 minutes away), the Arboretum (had large Lego sculptures and hiking trails) and also downtown Asheville. We would have explored more places like the Biltmore Estates, but we just did not have enough time for our 3 day stay. I had two toddlers and a dog and this house is very friendly to these creatures. TurnKey Vacation responds to any queries or issues immediately and at any time of day. This place is very clean inside. This house was very tastefully decorated.
There are a few cons that we can live with. When we arrived, two of the outside trash bins were knocked over and still had trash from previous guests but the property manager had someone come over to resolve the issue quickly after a quick call with them about it. The refrigerator does not have an ice maker, you would have to purchase a bag of ice and the fridge has uneven cooling (may freeze food items that are closer to the back near where the refrigerator cooling coils are). The host did inform us ahead, at the time of reservation about the fridge and the dishwasher and we were aware of it. This is the mountains, there are bugs everywhere outside (like spiders). The internet speed is slow (again, this is the mountains) and would be good for one streaming device. I would not recommend this place for remote working or school work that requires video conferencing or taking an online test/ school work. Whenever I did the internet speed test- highest download is 8 MBPS and upload is usually around 0.1 MBPS but luckily our power internet users for work and school had their own mobile hotspot/ puck to utilize. This area has great cell signal for Sprint and AT&T (the mobile wifi that we ended up using for work/ school).
Pros- Location is so convenient and can get to all the needs and wants on my list of places to go within 10 minutes! The house is kid friendly- it even has a portable high chair, children foodwares, pack and play and small kid's stool for reaching the sink. If you have a dog, they have very cute food and water dog bowls and even a dog bed available for you to use. We appreciated the grill and fire pit outside. The yard space (front yard?) is flat and you can have your little/ furry ones safely run and play in this area. There is a Foosball table that my family thoroughly enjoyed playing. We also found a cabinet with so many board games but did not get a chance to play with them. This is a great place for a family getaway.
