Perfect!!!!

We stayed at this unit in early July 2025. We are a couple in our early 60's. Our goal was private time as well as getting in some hiking in the area. The view here was MAGNIFICENT and we really enjoyed the changing views throughout the weather and available light. I give five stars for the view alone. The condo is comfortable for 2 and would easily accommodate a child or two but might be tight for 2 couples. I really appreciated the washer/dryer as we were muddy after our morning hikes. The condo is neat, attractive and comfortable. We did not use the television so I cannot comment on it, but we had no difficulty with the wi-fi. I would recommend a few small things. It would be nice to have a small table and chairs on the balcony or a chaise lounge. We spent several hours a day on the large and comfortable balcony. A silly thing, but I would have liked to have some corn holders in the kitchen. The king bed was a nice addition. It is a bit of a trip to Ashville from this location so plan your days accordingly, but Asheville is a city that is easy to get into and out of quickly. I recommend the Jack in the Woods pub on Thursday nights for a wonderful bluegrass experience. There was a volunteer 5 dollar cover that was well worth it.The Wolf Laurel complex is worth investigating. We found several hikes within the complex including a lovely waterfall and creek hike in the Bald Mountain Creek Preserve. The hike to the waterfall is short for people not wishing to trek.

We just completed our stay in mid June and absolutely loved it. I have a family of four with two daughters that are nine and eleven and we fit perfectly. It was our first time in Wolf laurel, and it really is a little gem in the mountain. We played a little basketball, tennis, fished in the pond, and did some hiking up to bald mountain. We also traveled back-and-forth to Asheville several times to enjoy Some summer activities. The host Sabrina was super sweet and a great communicator. We will definitely return in the future. Thank you for sharing your home.
