This adorable mountain home with back deck and front porch and every ammenity was perfect for our family. The owners were amazing and the home, especially kitchen had every detail thought of like you were in your own home. It was easy to drive back and forth to Ashville while staying up on a mountain and feeling like you were really away. Lots of hiking and beautiful fall folliage. Home was exactly as shown in photos. Our minivan made it up the mountain. Altough make sure you go up the left side and not the right if you don't have an SUV.

Spent the weekend at this lovely home on a girlfriend’s trip. The place is well maintained and clean with nice views of the woods from the back deck. Would definitely recommend.

The property was very comfortable, modern, and the kitchen extremely well stocked. The home had all the comfort amenities making it feel like our home away from home. The location is very private, but yet the location to Asheville was perfect. I'd highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the Asheville area.
