Charming but needs a bit of work
My 2 girls, in law’s, husband and I were very excited to come to Asheville for Christmas from Florida. We were thrilled to book a house that allows dogs too! We even packed some decorations to make the house feel like Christmas because none are provided by the owner which is understandable. Our expectations of this house were a bit too high unfortunately and our experience did not seem on par with the other reviews we read through before booking.

A few things that disappointed us were:
- No working fireplaces are available
- Beds are all a bit wobbly with tired old mattresses and no box springs
- Very little available storage to unpack suitcases which means you live out of your suitcase (one bedroom does have a wonderful closet with 3 hangers)
- Unfinished shower in the master bathroom
- Dog poop in the fenced in yard
- Trash in side yard next to driveway
- Broken down shack in driveway which is unlocked and a bit scary to kids
- Spotty neighborhood (your view includes a couple of older manufactured homes)
- Lost internet connection 2 out of our 4 nights
All in all this property was not worth the price we were charged. We did fix a few things for the homeowner while we were there and bought additional toilet paper and paper towels as there was not an adequate supply provided- minor problem that was easily fixed. There is so much potential with this home and with more work, it can be truly great! It’s just not there yet.
Our intention with this review is not meant to be negative, but we felt the need to provide, open and honest feedback to give a more accurate picture of what our experience was. Plus it was Christmas and a very special time for our family, so unfortunately it didn't meet our expectations.
