We ended up staying in the house a lot due to the weather, and had everything we needed. The only thing that would've made it better was if the fireplace had been working especially since the heaters had to work very hard (sub-zero wind chills while we were there).

We had an amazing time. The location is secluded and peaceful as advertised, but it’s just 15 minutes from Asheville proper. Waking up to a flock of turkeys gathered around the pond each morning was a highlight for us and our two puppies. We had one member in our group using a wheelchair and walker and the zero entry into the house, as well as an accessible bathroom and shower was extremely helpful. We would definitely go back!

This house was a mixture of different vibes at a high price for a 2 bedroom (compared to many others around Ashville). My first impression upon opening the door was old and musty with a smell of lysol/moth balls or something similar. Parts of the house looked cared for and recently updated - like the floors in all areas except the living room. Other areas such as the kitchen cabinets and counter tops were very old. The house was clean and the appliances looked new. But other items were low quality. The dishes were a mixed match of old items, silverware was old & lightweight- what you can buy at a dollar store, towels were thin in drab colors, pillows were old & lumpy. The couch was comfortable, but smelled like Lysol. The living room had cables across it that looked like they were holding the walls together. Furnishings looked old and there were SO MANY tables and chairs. TV channels were limited. Deck needed re-finishing. I was surprised because the reviews were very high. The view was beautiful, but I would not rent this home again.

We loved everything. The home was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The location was away from town and quiet and peaceful. The pond was spectacular. Lots of fish and turtles greeted us.

The drive to get to this place was beautiful. The house itself was well maintained and comfortable. I wanted a spot to relax and enjoy the cooler temperatures and this fit the bill. It is a bit of a drive on winding roads to get to a grocery store so be sure you have everything you need for your stay.

We were booking this type of a vacation home for the first time. So we did not go in with a lot of high expectations as the pictures and descriptions are not always the same. However we were pleasantly surprised that the location was exactly as we had seen in the pictures. The house was beautiful. All amenities in place and in working condition. It was a perfect getaway. The Vacasa team was also available on phone for any questions and concerns we had. So it was a stress free and peaceful stay!

We enjoyed our stay! Quiet, great location, and the pond was great! Clean and comfy beds. Our boys fished every morning and evening. We were in a great location to visit Asheville, The Biltmore, Black Mountain, Mt. Mitchell, Chimney Rock and other surrounding areas. Great to come back to relax/fish each day after our outings. Beautiful views. We enjoyed it!

The house is set on a beautiful lake and is very private. Outside furniture needs updated, as it is old, broken, and/or rusty. We struggled with the thermostats working (even when following directions) and ants in the kitchen, but still had a good stay. It is a perfect place for a restful time away!
