My family stayed here for my daughter’s wedding. Beautifully decorated and convenient to town. The views are amazing, and the screened in porches were great to sit out and listen to nature. Will definitely come again!" - July 2022 **"Our party really enjoyed our outdoors mountain retreat during the Fourth of July weekend! The main house was a quiet, clean, spacious and calming place. All members of our party were able to enjoy their own private rooms and bathrooms whilst still being together in family form. The house can sleep 12 comfortably easily! From every part of the three story property a view of the blue ridge mountains was in sight. It was also very centrally located with Asheville and the town of black Mountain being a 15 and 10 minute drive respectively. In truth it was close to all the lovely restaurants, bars, art district, brewery district, North Carolina Arboretum, and hiking spots of the Asheville area have to offer. The whole place made us feel at ease! Our favorite parts of the trip were how the property made it easy to have good outdoor fun. Right off from the house we were able to go blackberry and raspberry picking as Smokey Mountain is covered in beautiful bushes, go hiking up the same mountain the house is on, and even go fishing down the road. I our drive out one evening we even caught sight of a young black bear running around! When we didn’t feel like going out to eat we also made use of the chefs kitchen and grill outside on the wraparound porch! We were able to set the table with fresh flowers that we picked and steak, sausages, and vegetables like squash, tomatoes, zucchini that we were able to purchase at a farm 10 minutes away. It was a real farm to table good to honest family meal!" - July 2022 **"This home was perfect for our Asheville getaway! It’s close enough to downtown Asheville (20 minute drive), but also secluded enough to have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The house was very clean, and beautiful! We were a group of 10 (5 couples), and it fit everyone perfectly!! Would definitely stay here again!" - June 2022
