We were especially impressed with the cleanliness, the location close to town (15 min. from Asheville and 5 min, form Blue Ridge Parkway) and the view of the mountains. We had 2 little dogs so we brought our own sheets to put on the bed so can't comment on sheets but the mattress was comfortable. We chose this place for the view and not to far from town and it was as expected. Good location and nice view and very private. Just what we were looking for because of the dogs also. The grounds has good space to let the dogs run around a bit. They loved it. The roads were great until you got to the private road that the house is located on. It needs some attention. You have to go very slow to avoid deep pot holes but we managed. I'm glad we were driving my husband's Honda Passport. Could be a bit challenging for a car.

Great place to stay with amazing views of the mountains and so close to town. We had an amazing time staying here. So close to the blue ridge parkway and downtown Asheville. The house was so clean, orangized and had everything h we needed for our week long stay. The host Lindsay was great with communication and recommendations. We look forward to returning in the future.
5.0 / 5.0
Very happy with our stay. Nice view from the deck. Clean rental. Good host communication. Fair price.
A few tips for future renters: the driveway is steep and not easy to find, but any car can make it. Take your time on Fox Den, there are some large pot-holes near the bottom of the hill.
The rental is on the second level.
We did not see any bears.
The house is in a very quiet spot in the woods, but a short drive to downtown Asheville. Perfect combination for a peaceful weekend.

We enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the attention to details of our host. It was nice to have Kleenex, napkins, and extra counter space for tolietries in the bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the Biltmore as well as tubing in Mars Hill. It even snowed Friday night! The kids loved the loft area as they felt like they had a space to themselves. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Very cozy and warm with amazing views of mountains. Close drive to get coffees, breakfast, groceries and downtown. A little longer drive for the cool hikes, and they were worth it. We brought our dog with us and the owner's rules were reasonable and easy to follow. We loved how dog friendly Asheville is. This place gets 10/10

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We plan to return again and highly recommend our hosts to anyone planning a nice trip to Asheville. Thanks so much for welcoming us to a great place for our stay. We’ll get back in touch with Lindsay when we have the opportunity to return to Asheville!

The view is amazing and the house has windows to enjoy it. The apartment was spacious and clean and had nice modern furnishings in the kitchen. TV is nice and all the rooms have one with Dish included. The location was right next to town and made it easy to enjoy the mountains as well as Asheville. We will be staying here again!

The view!!! This home has the perfect view. I watched the sunset every evening on the balcony and it was perfection.
The home is tucked away in the woods yet so close to everything. It is literally the perfect getaway.
The owner was very welcoming and communicated quickly.
The home was clean and kitchen stocked with essentials.
I cannot wait to bring my family. I will definitely be booking again and recommending this home to everyone!
Thank you so much!

4.0 / 5.0
Enjoyed our stay here. The location is great as it is only 10 mins from downtown Asheville and about 15 to Black Mountain. The view is excellent and the house was easy to find. However there are a few items to note.
*It says you do not need a 4 wheel drive car, you technically do not but there are some major huge holes everywhere on the drive up. Also the driveway is very tricky for multiple cars. We have a Chevy and a Ford F150. They have a few trees blocking the driveway so you really have to park the cars just right. There was not much room for the truck at all. I would suggest to just cut down the 2 trees in the middle of the driveway to make it more open for cars to fit.
*The washer and dryer on site are rusting. Did not use because they were covered in rust. Maybe they worked fine but they 100% looked rough.
We did see some wildlife at the house! Turkeys, a huge bear and lots of bunnies.

This open-plan house feels relaxing from the moment you step in, and the feeling grows as you notice the attention to the details by the owners. It was super clean, well-stocked with cooking needs, had an amazing view, and all the linens felt fresh. The woodsy location felt safe for kids and for evening dog walking. Perhaps it was only my luck, but I also had blue skies every day, even though other parts of Asheville had clouds. Highly recommend!

We stayed over the Holidays and it was perfect for our small family. Kept us warm in the cold snap we had. Downtown is 15 minutes away.
5.0 / 5.0
It was a little dated and I am not sure if I just missed the information but I think it is important to know that the loft only has a spiral staircase and both bathrooms are downstairs. It wasn't a problem for me because my children are adults. It could be a problem for small children or elderly.

Nice clean and quiet location with a quick drive to hiking and Asheville. Beautiful views from the living room and porch
5.0 / 5.0
This was a great property with a wonderful view. It had all the amenities of home inside and was as described. It's a ways up the mountain but a close (15-20 min) drive to main attractions such as the Biltmore and downtown areas. Core things like grocery store, fast food and a couple restaurants were close. Dish TV helped occupy our time the few evenings we were in the house. The 2nd big bedroom was up circular stairs and no bathroom up, so just be aware of how agile the people are that will be up in that BR. IT wasn't a problem for us. Host was very responsive to any questions we had.
We loved our stay and would definitely go back again!

Wonderful house and location, well supplied and furnished. Loved watching the clouds and fog pass among the hills through the bay windows. Great communication with property manager.

The owners of this property go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is perfect. The house is well stocked and immaculately clean. Such a great location, close to anything you could possibly want or need yet secluded just enough to get the mountain escape experience.
Endless thanks to Lindsay!

Family of 4 adults enjoyed the stay at this very clean and comfortable property. All amenities worked as advertised, great communication by the host throughout the stay as well as prior to traveling. Easy check in process and beds were comfortable. Recommend letting AC get a head start on cooling the loft several hours ahead of bed time and run the overhead ceiling fans. We enjoyed our stay and also enjoyed a really cool bear sighting on the road up to the house!
5.0 / 5.0
Serene location in the woods but only about 15 minutes from downtown. House is comfortable and spacious, although the loft gets too warm unless you crank up the air conditioning. Lindsay was super, sent lots of helpful information about the house and area, and was easy to communicate with.

I would rent from her again! Thank you for ensuring our pleasant stay!

This is a great property. We had no problems finding it, but it is far enough off the beaten path that you really feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle of town. However, when you need groceries, restaurant options, etc., they are right down the road. The house was very clean (noticeably cleaner than the last few homes/hotels we have stayed in) and was supplied with everything we needed for our weekend stay. Bed in the master was very comfortable. My family was particularly disappointed that we did have any bear visitors during our stay, but we have a dog and that may be why they steered clear of us. We did have a bunny that liked to graze in the backyard. This was a lovely house and we would definitely stay again!

We had such a nice stay at Robert and Lindsay’s property. Lindsay was very communicative and easy going. We wanted to stay in a remote place close to downtown Asheville and this was perfect for that. The house was spacious enough for my husband and me and we could’ve fit our 2 teenagers if we brought them. We had all of the amenities needed (minus toiletries) and a view like no other! It was GORGEOUS out there in the woods! We were 15 minutes from amazing restaurants downtown, 15-30 minutes from several hikes, and close enough to the Biltmore. I wish we had more time! I would recommend this house and any of their other properties.

Mountain View
When we arrived the property was absolutely spotless. The kitchen is very well stocked with pots and pans and really sharp and good knives! Anytime I communicated with the owner or manager the response was absolutely prompt. Very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and lots of really great hikes. Our favorite hike was craggy garden and also the pinnacle which is a very short and steep hike with 360° views. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Magical Mountain Moments!
This property was so clean, cozy, & inviting…but with a view like that, we spent most of our time relaxing on the deck! The hosts were so hospitable and helpful, and the property had all the basics needed for our week of magical moments in the mountains! We would DEFINITELY stay here again, given the opportunity to travel back to this beautiful area.

Great place to stay in Asheville!
We had a wonderful time in Asheville and staying at Robert and Lindsey’s house!
The house was very clean, as advertised, and even had some coffee and other small items that helped make the first morning more enjoyable.
Robert and Lindsey were very good with communication as well.
Couple tips for future renters:
> Goggle Maps stops the directions around 50 Fox Den Road. The house is a bit further up on the right.
> If you have a larger vehicle or are pulling a trailer, negotiating the drive way can be a little tight.
Thank you for having us! We will rent again when we return to Asheville.
