Courtney’s home was a peaceful hilltop MCM ranch escape. We loved all of the outside decks and areas for coffee or drinks and lounging, enjoyed two sunsets through the winter trees. Inside, the impressive sandstone fireplace gave us a cozy fire one night. The light from all the windows in the home leaves you feeling surrounded by nature. Kids enjoyed the games and there is nice selection of books, ample bedside tables, charming lamps and outlets by the beds. Blackout curtains in the queen room were nice! The kitchen had all we needed to fix two breakfasts and one dinner and even bake cookies, plus kid safety locks if that helps a family with young kids. Courtney has an impressive selection of teas on site. Quick drive to Asheville as well as Mars Hill. Host is responsive and home was super clean. I look forward to coming back!
