The short version - this place was great and the host was amazing too. At the last minute (due to a pet with health needs) we had to cancel our stay at the Omni Grove Park so we could bring Lincoln with us. We were lucky enough this property was available semi last minute (there must have been a cancellation because it was booked every other date I looked). I looked at the pics and description and decided to make a reservation. Christine reached out immediately to be sure I was ok with the $100 dog fee and the three flights of stairs to the front door! After we confirmed the booking she emailed 3 guide books with things to do and places to shop etc that were super helpful and answered ALL my questions.
Upon arrival everything was exactly as pictured on the website and she had even baked some shortbread to welcome us. The home was fully stocked with ample toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo, and even coffee! There were even candles in case of a power outage and bug spray.
The location of the property was ideal - just a 15 minute drive to Biltmore, downtown, or Grove Park. Uber was NOT easy to find and AVL taxi was expensive but lyft was reasonable and readily available.
It was just my husband and me (and Lincoln our tripod hound) so we really didn't use the second bedroom but it was clean and well appointed. There wee plenty of glasses, cutlery, and dishes.
We very much enjoyed lounging on the picturesque veranda with Lincoln (though we did keep him on a leash since the verandah connects to the three flights of stairs in front of the front door) with market lights but I definitely needed the bug spray!
All in all a great experience. And we can have pretty high expectations!
