This was an amazing stay! Perfect for my partner and I’s vacation.
1) The location is beautiful. The area is way up in the mountains next to a babbling creak, which has different porch swings and fire pits off the banks that are free to enjoy. (the bugs are pretty brutal down there, but with a fire roaring and some bug spray, it isn’t too bad. also make sure to close the front door pretty fast to keep these bugs out of the house.) The scenery of the rolling mountains and forestry is unavoidable whenever you’re driving, and the for how rural it seems, the location only adds about 20 minutes in whatever direction you are wanting to go to. The drive was so beautiful that the couple extra minutes really is no friction. Downtown Asheville itself is only a 30 minute drive.
2) The cleanliness of the cabin was a huge relief. I’m personally a real neat freak, and was so glad to see that everything was so tidy and CLEAN! I did see previous comments about dog smell and can confirm that the cabin had no traces of this during our stay. Not only that, but the place does have a broom and swifter mop, along with other cleaning supplies under the sink. There are a lot of extra sheets left out to change the bed if you feel the need, the bathroom was spotless, and the couch was super comfy and clean.This made my heart so happy! Having such a tidy place to stay really helped me feel like this was our little home for the week.
3) The tv, dvd player, and wifi all worked awesome. The property manager had actually had a new wifi router installed the day of our check in! We could connect all of our devices and use them at any place in the house. We had no issues with the wifi entire week.
4) The property manager was super nice and made sure that we were enjoying our stay during the week. Super fast and reliable communication. I got the sense that they really cared about making our stay comfortable and was there if we had any issues. This was very reassuring, especially given that we were so far from home and the area was so foreign to us! Amazing and kind guest service!
