Where to begin? This place has it ALL — location, privacy, luxe appointments, a wrap-around deck, a pet-friendly yard, fully stocked kitchen, etc., etc. Truly a one-of-a-kind stay in one of the most gorgeous settings we’ve ever seen.
The place was absolutely immaculate upon check-in, with thoughtful amenities throughout ( and homemade cookies!). It is furnished with supremely comfortable beds, couches, and deck chairs, and has every imaginable kitchen tool and appliance you could possibly need.
Christine left thorough instructions for every aspect of the house, and the hiking trails she suggested were close by and amazing. We explored Montreat and Black Mountain, and went into Asheville to check out some antique stores and breweries — but most of the time we elected to fix food at the house and just hang out, soaking up the sounds of the Swannanoa River from the spacious deck, and watching the trees wave in the breeze. The place is so inviting and stylishly appointed, you really won’t need or want to venture far.
A true retreat, Christine’s place made us feel like we were indulging ourselves just by being there. As a host, she was responsive, welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly. This property rates among our absolute favorites, and we can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Asheville.
