Perfect Place to Stay! Great Hosts!

We booked for a trip to Asheville! The location was perfect if you're wanting to be close to Asheville, but not too close to all the hustle and bustle! The owners were great at communication, and helped out whenever I needed! This place is PERFECT if you have a big group! So many different sleeping options and areas!

This property was ok. Pros: The location, pool, and hot tub were great. The wifi was good. Kids loved the theater room and game room. Communication with the management was excellent and check in was a breeze. Plenty to do for all ages. Cons: 3 of the 6 bedrooms had no place to hang clothes and no dressers. One of the “bedrooms” was a converted office with curtains hanging over the glass doors doe privacy. The walls, doors, and baseboards were all marred and dirty and in desperate need of paint. Some of the blinds were broken. This property has the potential to be top notch. Some minor upkeep and routine maintenance would get it there. However, as is, I’d have to say I was disappointed and it’s just ok.
