We really enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous house for a family vacation. The kitchen and living areas are lovely and great for hanging out. The primary bedroom and bath on the first floor are luxurious. The second floor has 2 spacious bedrooms and a shared full bathroom which worked really well. The walkout basement suite is fantastic with the two twin beds and its own full bath.

Couldn’t ask for a more convenient location. The house was nice but the basement needed a good cleaning. Not enough towels either. But overall we had a wonderful time

We had a wonderful weekend at the house celebrating my dad's 85th birthday. It was a great space. the deck is an amazing place to relax and enjoy each other's company as well as a nice glass of wine or a cup of coffee depending on time of day.

Our stay was great! The home was very clean, spacious and well-appointed. It was a short drive to downtown Asheville as well as the Biltmore. There were 3 couples here for a long weekend and we felt right at home. I had contacted our rep prior to arrival with a few questions and she responded immediately. Great customer service. The drive up the mountain to the house is a typical steep drive but worth it!

We all had a great time celebrating my sister’s bachelorette party here! Waking up to the gorgeous views along with the cozy and clean decor was exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you so much!

Our small group of 3 couples enjoyed this beautiful property for a long weekend in late May. The house was clean with plenty of room to spread out. Its proximity to Asheville, the Biltmore, restaurants and shops was very convenient. All questions we had prior to arrival were answered quickly which was much appreciated. We all would definitely recommend this property.

My family and I had the absolute best time and felt right at home at the Modern Asheville Sanctuary on Elk Mountain! My husband and I (early 30s) met my brother and sister-in-law (mid 30s) their 18month year old son and my mom (mid 60s) and we all stayed at this location and now we want to rebook it for every Asheville reunion! The location is unbeatable. You’re just about ten minutes away from downtown Asheville for all the downtown exploration, but still get a great view of the mountains and have the seclusion of a mountain getaway. The house met all our needs where we felt right at home, had a great deck for relaxing, an open living room and social area, but also had plenty of room to escape for peace and quiet. This was great for a family gathering and I highly recommend this home!
While here, (late March) we saw eight bears around the property! Pretty cool!!

This house was the perfect fit for our group of girls. It’s beautiful and spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of room to cook. The back deck has gorgeous views. My only not so great thing to say is that the fireplace in the living room didn’t work. But other than that, I loved the house! We also had no problems getting Ubers to and from the mountain! We used them to travel downtown, to and from the airport, and to the Biltmore! Just make sure you give yourself some time. I would definitely stay at this home again.

Beautiful home
The home was beautiful, well stocked and had some gorgeous views. It was neat to experience the variety of clouds and weather and the beauty that brought each morning. A bit of nerve wrecking drive up the street but after the first few up and downs you get used to it. Would def recommend a stay at this beautiful home!
We were lucky enough to have a mother bear and 3 cubs visit us on the drive way one morning. We had great views from the windows 😁

Great stay.
The house was everything we expected. Spacious with fun room downstairs for pool. Bring your own shampoo’s and what not as there is very very little in the house for most products that are similar. The wifi from the email was not correct but was able to get the correct info in a very timely manner. Overall, fun stay.

This home was beautiful, comfortable and quiet surrounding with amazing sunrises and sunsets.
We rented the home over The Asheville Marathon weekend and it was perfect. Close to downtown and all the action but secluded enough for quiet and beautiful surroundings. Just be prepared for a hilly approach with a few hairpin turns.

Beautiful and spacious home
We all enjoyed staying in this lovely home which has a beautiful view that can be enjoyed from the living room, dining, kitchen and master bedroom. The house is tastefully decorated with neutral colors. The beds were all very comfortable. It was a great house for our family reunion. I would highly recommend this home. We look forward to coming back to Asheville again in the future.

Incredible home, very clean, wonderful weekend!
We had an absolutely amazing weekend celebrating birthdays with my friends and I. The home was immaculate and accommodating. The only thing I would note (and perhaps I just missed it) is that the drive up to the house is sprinkled with hairpin turns. If you aren’t from the mountain area, this was an unexpected detail. Fortunately, the Uber drivers in town are very comfortable with those types of roads and did not question anything. They got us to and from my destinations safely. But as far as the house, it was absolutely perfect!

Amazing home!
We stayed five nights at this lovely property for spring break with three teenagers. The location was perfect—so close to downtown Asheville and restaurants, the Biltmore, hiking etc yet incredibly private, quiet, and secluded—we felt we had the mountains to ourselves! The views were truly SPECTACULAR from every window and look just like the photos! WOW!! To wake up each morning looking out onto the mountains was such a luxury. The beds were comfortable, linens fresh and new, and the kitchen incredibly well stocked with every appliance in great working order, though we didn’t cook dinners as there were so many great restaurants to choose from. It was great to be able to park the cars inside the garage. The home was spotless and very well cared for. We had plenty of space for the five of us, and didn’t need to use the downstairs bedroom, though that was a great space for kids. The pool table and gym were an added bonus! (There was no way I was going to try to run up and down the steep hill the house is located on!). We have rented VRBOs in the U.S. and all over the world and this would definitely be ranked as one of the best. Thank you so very much!! I just wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfect for family
We stayed here for a couple of nights on our way farther south for spring break, and it was the perfect stopover for our family of four! The house is spotless and beautifully decorated. It's secluded and private, but only a few minutes to all the great restaurants downtown. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful mountain retreat in Asheville
Stunning views and a beautiful home. This house made our Asheville stay feel so relaxing and luxurious. The proximity to downtown Asheville is fantastic. The views up on the mountain are absolutely gorgeous. And the home is clean, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. We will definitely be returning. Loved every minute of it!

Perfect house for a family getaway in Asheville!
This home was perfect for our family of 6. The rooms were large and there was plenty of space to spread out, as well as gather in front of the fire for games and tv nights. The location was very convenient to downtown - a short 10 min drive down the mountain for plenty of restaurants, shopping, and groceries. The drive up is steep and winding so worth noting in case ice or snow is forecast. Super clean and beautiful views. Would stay again!

This place is better than you’re expecting expecting
The view is even better than the photos. The porch wraps around the house so if you get a rogue nice day in the winter it’s perfection to sit outside and just take in the view. With COVID we didn’t want to eat out so we cooked every meal and ate at that breakfast table every meal overlooking the blue ridge. Every cooking appliance you’re going to need is there. We never got a chance to play pool but if that’s your thing there’s a gorgeous pool table in the basement. Highly recommended.

Great Mountain Home w/Beautiful Views
Our stay started out a little rocky with the house not being clean upon our arrival. This was due to a miscommunication between the rental company and the cleaning service. However, our local contact stepped in, on Thanksgiving, and rushed to get the house cleaned up that night for us. After the initial hiccup our stay overall was nothing short of wonderful. The house is beautiful with gorgeous views and plenty of space for a large family to stay together while still having plenty of space to yourselves. The open concept main floor was perfect for our group, leaving plenty of room to spread out with various games and activities while still feeling like we were in the same room. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing views!
This house was perfect! Extremely clean, well stocked with necessities, comfortable beds and bedding. The views from the back of the house and back deck are breath taking. The location was also perfect. Very easy drive into downtown Asheville. However, the last road leading to the is very steep. We would definitely stay here again!
