This was an amazing stay. Donna and Glenn are wonderful and very responsive. They’ve done a great job with the renovation of this old house. It’s very modern and cozy. Well stocked kitchen if you want to cook and multiple sitting areas. The automatic fireplaces are an extra cozy touch which we used each day and night. The house was very clean as well. Beds were super comfortable. There is a conservation area within a short distance that has a donkey, goats and sheep, peacocks, chickens and cats that we drove up the hill to see. We got to meet the animals and explore the property a bit, though being December it was quite cold. All in all a very lovely stay and would stay again.

Very clean home. Love the decor. Love the soaking tub! Has plenty of land to hike and loved the farm with all the animals!!! Plenty of space to park. Would definitely come back with family or friends. Close to biltmore and downtown Asheville but just far enough for that country feel. The Hosts were great!

We booked this house for a birthday vacation and it was exactly what we needed. The property sits on beautiful acreage, so it felt peaceful and tucked away, yet close enough to town that we never felt too far from anything. The house was cozy, and had everything we needed. We loved waking up to the quiet countryside and ending the day in the hottub. The host was communicative and made check-in super easy. Would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in the Asheville area!

The hosts are great and the home is amazing. 20 minutes from downtown Asheville and 30 to Black Mountain. This was our 2nd stay here and hope to do many more in the coming years.
