This place was the perfect spot for me, my fiancé, and my parents to stay for a long holiday weekend. It’s super close to downtown Asheville, Black Mountain, and a ton of other great points of interest for either hiking or city vibes. It was fully stocked with every kitchen implement we’d need to make meals and coffee at home, and they even had clean bowls set out for our dog. The views were incredible; some of the best mountain pics I got were actually taken out of the bathroom window! They also definitely delivered on the “bear sightings”; we did in fact encounter a small black bear while we were driving in the neighborhood. The hosts messaged me multiple times in advance of the trip as a courtesy to ask if I had any questions and to provide a fully comprehensive check-in packet. It was very clear that they care deeply about their guests’ enjoyment of the property. I highly recommend booking and hope to come back soon!
