Overall, the house was very good and as described. The house is a small 3 bed, 2 bath house in East Asheville. It is very close to the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Pros:
1) The house is very clean and the rooms were well laid out.
2) The TVs worked very well and we were able to watch everything we wanted to watch.
3) The kitchen was well stocked with basic supplies and was well equipped with most everything one needs for a stay.
4) Very good value.
5) The path to the river and the river are very nice and relaxing. We enjoyed several walks to the river. It seems as though someone has set up a fire pit down by the river, however, we didn't use it. That would seem to be quite a bit of fun.
6) The water pressure in the bathrooms were great. It's not a big deal, but I love great water pressure.
7) Close to access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is right down Tunnel Road which is very convenient.
8) Close to Ingles grocery store. This is very convenient and we popped over there a few times.
9) Good number of towels and pillows. This was very much appreciated.
10) AC and heater worked well. We had to use both during our stay.
Cons:
1) The neighborhood is very (and I mean very) dark at night. Meaning, if you are taking your dogs for a walk, bring a flashlight. If you are returning by car, drive very slowly and carefully. This is a con for me, but others may enjoy this aspect of the neighborhood.
2) The neighborhood is not a "cute" neighborhood with walking areas. Meaning, if you stay in West Asheville or near UNC Asheville, you may be able to have nice strolls around the neighborhood. You can certainly walk around this area, but it doesn't have the charm of some of the other neighborhoods in town. To get to those areas, it is a 15-20 minute drive.
3) The house is a little small. Not a con, per se, just a statement. So, when everyone is in the living room or kitchen area, it gets a little tight.
4) Ice dispenser produced ice, but does not dispense ice. We reported this, but it wasn't fixed while we were there. Should be fixed.
Ultimately, the house was as described and it served its purpose very well. Lindsay was very responsive to our e-mails and we enjoyed our stay.
