This was a great place to stay with our two small boys (age 5 & 7)! We were welcomed with a basket of yummy apples along with a note and a few directions about the house. The place was clean and comfortable...and the view out back was even more lovely than pictured. The house is a very short drive into downtown Asheville, so convenient to everything.
We chose this place to stay with our boys partly based on location..but also because of the tree-house, fire-pit, and chicken coop. We utilized them all and the kids loved it. The extra bonus were all of the toys (blocks, books, legos) and the fact that the kids were able to play Minecraft on the TV in the early morning while we slept for an extra hour or so. The only downside was that you can hear people walking upstairs. It wasn't a big issue at all and it wasn't too late into the evening..just thought I'd mention it if anyone is sensitive to that type of thing.
This place was perfect for a few nights when you will be eating all of your meals out. We did cook hot dogs over the firepit on our final evening (which was great)..but other than that there isn't an option to prepare any hot meals. Marin was very friendly and even left us a bag of marshmallows for the fire! I will also say that if you enjoy espresso coffee..the machine they have made a fantastic cup to start the day! :)
Highly recommend this place..especially for couple or families with young boys.
