We made a very last minute reservation (within two hours of check-in). Our host was immediately responsive and helped us get checked in quickly and smoothly.
The home was even better than we expected. It's at the end of a cul-de-sac in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The view from the living room, deck, and hot tub is gorgeous. The kitchen is very well-supplied with quality serving and cookware, the three king beds are what you'd expect at a four-star hotel, and the bathrooms are stocked with luxurious towels and soaps. With a pool table, multiple TVs with Chromecasts, and plenty of room to sit and chat, we were perfectly content spending time together in this beautiful home. When we did venture out, it was only a short drive to whatever we sought -- a high-end grocery store, hiking, dinner, or downtown Asheville.
The little touches are what made the difference for us. Often rental homes feel like they've been furnished for show, without much thought to the use and comfort of the guests. Not so here. Each bedroom has a night light/white noise maker and little wooden tray bedside for watches, rings, etc. The furniture is all gorgeous, but comfortable and functional. The entire house is filled with everything you need and would expect to find in your own home, from electric candles and throw blankets to kitchen utensils and place mats -- even a Tibetan singing bowl!
We will definitely be returning.
