This home is comfortable, beautifully maintained, and absolutely spotless. By far the cleanest, most manicured AirBnB property we've ever stayed in. The grounds are just gorgeous -- a big, beautifully maintained backyard, complete with babbling brook. There's also the huge property across the street which is also available for guests, with stream, hammock, treehouse, and more. Really a secluded, idyllic setting in the suburbs of Asheville.
The street is off a longish road that winds for a couple miles. However, at the start of that road are a number of large grocery options and plenty of dining nearby. Downtown is maybe 10-15 minutes away. It's a little out of the way, but easily accessible to everything Asheville has to offer.
The bedrooms were big and comfortable. The master bed, however, is quite high off the ground, something to note if accessibility is an issue. The master faces the rear of the house, the guest bedroom and "kid's" bedroom (with the single bed) face the front. Gayle kept referring to it as a "small house," but we found it roomy and comfortable for my husband and I, our toddler, and my husband's parents.
The house is well organized, and was stocked with essentials and amenities -- a binder chock full of ideas and tips, coffees, basic supplies and toiletries, towels, and even some welcome chocolates! You got the sense that Gayle knows how to host, not just "put people up" at her place. She was very communicative, easy, and accommodating -- we had a portable rental crib delivered before our arrival, and she cheerfully helped coordinate.
Utilities and appliances worked perfectly -- water pressure is great, and A/C is strong. The only glitch we encountered was the WiFi acting up during our stay -- router was flaking on the guest network. Gayle tried her best to work it out but was out of town herself. I have no doubt this will be worked out right away. Great stay overall, we'd happily come back.
