Beautiful location! Home was well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay!
5.0
This is a beautiful, cozy home with an amazing view to the area mountains with three decks to choose from! It is also located close to the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway and to Ingles, a major grocery store chain. Water quality was also amazing (we usually buy a bag of ice, but no need here!)
We enjoyed the nearby Creekside Taphouse, "A Neighborhood Joint", for great burgers, fries and trivia!
The only drawback to the location is that there was no place we could walk our dog as the neighborhood roads are quite steep (okay for driving, though) and the adjoining highway is a bit too busy with no sidewalk or shoulder. We found the walking paths at the nearby Warren Wilson College campus and the large yard at the Veteran's Hospital a great substitute, however.
Wifi was reliable. Neighborhood is quiet. Kitchen is well-stocked. Abundant closet and storage space. Overall, a great home away from home!

The property is beautiful. The home, large and comfortable, the gardens natural and lovely. the views are beautiful. The only negative was a general musty smell which was erased when we opened the windows and though the towels were clean, they had a very musty smell .We found the house to be very well equipped and were grateful for the coffee and other basics..
5.0
The property was very nice...good location, beautiful view, nice community and clean/well furnished. Our host was great to work with and made us feel very welcome. The only reason I gave 4 stars on two of the ratings was the outside of the property was very overgrown and not as shown in the photos that were used in the listing.

My brother and I spent a week in the Asheville area mountain biking and found the property perfect for our needs. We were within 25 minutes of downtown Asheville and within 90 minutes from a myriad of mountain bike destinations. The garage was perfect for storing bikes and the kitchen was well equipped for meal prep. There is a grocery store within 10 minutes of the house. The property owner was responsive and made the experience of renting very simple. We would rent here again.

Karen was easy to work with always communicating in a polite and timely manner. The place was great for my Wife and me and our Three children ( 4 yr, 2 yr and just under 1 yr old). There was a good amount of space for us to set things up for them and keep hiking stuff and strollers in the garage. We were just a short trip to a grocery store but still felt quite Remote. The kitchen was well supplied allowing us to prepare family meals which we enjoy on vacation. Solid vacation home for families!

We loved being secluded but still less than 10 minutes away from downtown Asheville. The house is fully stocked and the grounds are pretty. Karen was kind enough to also setup a Christmas tree for us. We plan to visit again!

This was the perfect home base for my family and me to explore Asheville. Very accessible to downtown, the River Arts District, and the Biltmore. Very comfy beds & pillows, well-appointed kitchen, lovely living room with comfy couches and sofa chairs around a wood-burning fireplace, gorgeous views thru the sunroom of the surrounding mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a remarkable stay at MOUNTAIN ROSE....the property itself was clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. And then there are the mountain and/or garden VIEWS from the windows and balconies! Wow. Thank you to Karen for always being quick to respond to any questions, and for helping make our mountain retreat something we'll never forget! K.

This property was nice if you are planning to visit Asheviile. It is probably gorgeous in the summertime, but without leaves on the trees you were aware of neighbors all around! The owner, Karen, was nice and very attentive.

Mountain Rose
We would highly recommend a stay at this lovely home. The comfort level is outstanding. We enjoyed the open, spacious rooms and all the windows! The location is very convenient to downtown Asheville, the Biltmore, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We hope to return.

Our daughter recently relocated to the Asheville area so we were excited to visit and check out some of the scene. Instead of staying in a hotel, we thought a place with more elbow room and other features would make the 3 of us more comfortable. Karen and Jonathan's property was perfect. A short ride from the interstate, a short driving distance to downtown, the Biltmore and hiking, made the property perfect. Being elevated, the living room has great views of area mountains and a valley. Bird watching is great, as is sitting and drinking coffee or other beverages, or just be vegetating. The house was very clean, with the kitchen having a good supply of cooking and eating utensils. Living room and bedroom furniture was very comfortable. We all enjoyed the home and the grounds. We will be back to visit our daughter when the trees and flowers start to bud, and this home will be at the top of the list for our future visit(s).

We enjoyed our stay, lovely house.
There was lots of bird watching, they were eating berries right outside the window which was fun.
Only complaint is we wish we had brought slippers to wear because of the no shoes in house policy.

Great location.
Nice place for four. Good space to not be overlapping one another. Also, great location to Asheville-only a. Short drive to the Grove Arcade section...and a good 9 mile waking trail within few miles fro. House at the folk art center.

Great location, very clean,
This is our second time staying at this property for our family trips to Asheville. It’s super clean, Karen is so nice and great to deal with, and the location is fantastic - really close to Biltmore and Downtown Asheville, yet still tucked away in the mountains in a picturesque and quiet setting. We will be back for sure!

Beautiful home in an excellent quiet location.
The house, location and host were all excellent. Property is very spacious with beautiful views with several areas to relax in. The kitchen is very well equipped, we cooked several meals in and enjoyed many at the numerous restaurants within a 10-15 minute drive. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Property location perfect and central to all activities. Exceptionally clean, attractively furnished, lovely views, and hostess is gracious. Wild turkeys visited us along with the butterflies and hummingbirds. We awakened daily to songbirds’ greetings. We loved Mountain Rose!

Beautiful Getaway!
We SO enjoyed our time at the Mountain Rose! The view is spectacular, landscape is beautiful and the accomodations spacious and private. We highly remcommend it to those coming to the area. It is outside of the city, yet not too far. A perfect launching point to visit all the sites in the area!

Mountain Rose
We had a wonderful week at Mountain Rose. The house has beautiful views and is nicely appointed. Comfortable for our family of three. The check in was easy and Karen is a gracious hostess.

For the price it was good
Beautiful neighborhood, amazing backyard, well appointed kitchen, great sheets and pillows...
Downside was the owners staying part time in the basement-this was uncomfortable - we could hear them (which meant they could hear us) and we had to compete for the water pressure.
They said it (where they were staying) was totally separate and independent, but it was not.

Convenient to Warren Wilson College
This home is roomy, comfortable, and well furnished. The kitchen is adequately stocked for cooking and eating in. Views from the living room and kitchen window are very nice. FYI, the driveway is fairly narrow & steep but OK. Karen is a pleasure to communicate and work with. I will keep returning here when coming to the area.

Just what we were looking for
We enjoyed our time exploring Asheville and surrounding area and this home was comfortable and clean. We loved the beautiful scenery and wild turkeys around the home. Great family place and the owner kept in touch to make sure our stay was comfortable.

We stayed in Karen's home over the Thanksgiving holiday this year- it was gorgeous, convenient, and warm and we were so happy to have this place to come home to. My husband is already searching for dates to come back this summer!

We had a lovely stay at "Mountain Rose". The house was very clean and comfortable. A quiet relaxing oasis at the end of long days of touring in the area. I highly recommend this rental property.
5.0
We had a wonderful getaway at "Mountain Rose" while searching for property in the area. The house is bright, clean, and comfortable with a modern flair. It was just the two of us, but the house could very comfortably hold several more. We slept well in the comfy king-sized bed in the master-suite. Great master-bath too! The kitchen was well equipped, and we didn't need for anything else. Karen was a gracious host and left us cut flowers from her lovely garden. If we hadn't had such a busy agenda, we would have comfortably hung out more at this wonderful retreat. The surrounding area is quite beautiful and not far from either downtown Asheville or our favorite small town, Black Mountain.
