We had a glorious week at this scenic home in the mountains. Our extended family had gathered in the area for a celebration; three families converged at this property from other states to join family and friends living nearby. We were a little nervous because we needed space for different folks--some to work remotely, others to cook for a gathering, others to chat and reminisce. This home was perfect--it was so spacious and well laid out that it accommodated everyone. The home is elegant, beautifully appointed, with so many gorgeous touches. The kitchen is one of the best-equipped I've seen in a rental property, which was a relief because we were cooking for 23 at the family gathering. Maryam was very helpful and responsive with any answers to questions. I recommend this home for extended family or friends group.

Overall, we were very happy with our experience. The house was clean, and commutation was excellent. We had a great time visiting Black mountain, Asheville area. Although, we used shuttle for night ventures (Asheville brewery tours provided shuttles), the house is 25 miles to grocery and Blk mtn. The “Bear proof garbage box” didn’t hold much and you need to but heavy objects on top to keep bear out, we encountered bear several times, and had to scare away. The kitchen wasn’t as well stocked as we were expecting (we needed oven mitt for example, or some spices) but generally good views, nice place. Steep driveway.

We absolutely loved our stay! There was more than enough space for our group. Maryam was very responsive and helpful. The views surrounding the house were breathtaking and the house being in a gated community made us feel safe. Driveway was very steep but it wasn’t a concern. We would all come back!

Excellent views. Very peaceful. The had all the equipment to cook and eat for a large group. Very family oriented flow and set up. It was very clean. Games were available in the garage and game boards in the basement. The host is very responsive and kind. Immediately helped us when asked and allowed us an early check in when requested. Very reliable crew! I would recommend staying here. The driveway up to the house is very steep. Prepare to step on the gas to climb it. I would be cautious if coming during snow. There is limited cellular on the drive once you get within 15 minutes of the house. The WiFi works great there. The hot tub cover is old and needs to be replaced. The blue particles were falling apart into the hot tub and hard to clean. The fridge does not have an ice maker so you need to buy bags of ice if you need it.

I stayed here for my 30th birthday with my family and closest friends. We really enjoyed the option of two living rooms, the pool table, and the hot tub. We’re big foodies and the kitchen and grill were perfect for our needs. What a beautiful location to stargaze and enjoy some peace and quiet!
