An overall good experience. The home is just as described. There are pros and cons just like with any space. The home is located close to Asheville which makes it very convenient, and if you want the woodsy feel, this home has it. Check-in was easy with a code given by the owners who are responsive and friendly. The bed was comfortable the place felt clean, and the essentials are there. The fireplace and outdoor seating are definitely a nice touch even if we didn’t use them this time around. Some things travelers should be aware of:
1) While the stairs to the private entrance are pretty and picturesque, they’re a bit of a hazard. My girlfriend and I were constantly scared of slipping as the steps are pretty small.
2) The basement is humid, but that can be fixed using the dehumidifier in the closet. The other thing to note is the couple of bugs you’re bound to run into (a spider or 2, some moths, and a millipede in our case). Not a problem for us, but best to be aware.
3) The owners live directly above the basement. They were not loud while we were there, but you might hear them move around. The one time this became an issue was on our last night at around 4:00am their dogs started running around upstairs which made it difficult to sleep.
I would say we had a comfortable stay and would come back if I needed a chill place for the weekend , but it wasn’t necessarily luxury. The things that could really improve this place are some better amenities or a little stovetop for the kitchenette.
