We travel to Black Mountain every year and this has been our best house so far. It is in a beautiful and serene neighborhood. The house is gorgeous and the listing was accurate. We had an ac issue during our stay and the property manager quickly responded and resolved the issue. There are little trails throughout the neighborhood and a little creek. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home. We will likely stay here again!

Everything was just as it was supposed to be. It was our fourth rental in this neighborhood. BUT on the first night the windows were rattling and it sounded like a truck was parked outside the master to make such a noise and effect. We turned the entire hvac off and could not figure out the noise. Sleeping on the couch in the middle of the house helped but it was a terrible night. The next morning we did tell property management. They did come out to claim they found nothing wrong. There is a compressor outside the master windows. Well the noise was gone when we go back but clearly something was broke and fixed. We were frustrated at the misery of one nights sleep and the effort and coordination needed the next day when we were supposed to be relaxed on a fishing trip. They offered $100 off a $3k booking only. I declined that and they said that was just dandy. Recommended we check out for a full refund and go to a hotel. Pretty snarky especially if you’ve been to black mountain. There’s one hotel. I think the maintenance team missed a regular maintenance on the compressor and then lied to the management team who then gaslit us. Should have been handled better.

Neither the pictures nor the listing described the stairs adequately. Three levels, very steep stairs, treacherous stone steps especially when wet. No keys provided and passcode lock on main (2nd) level only. Construction on houses going up behind not mentioned until past the cancel date. Entire house needs power wash badly, spiders, cobwebs, moss, dust on porches. Great location but quirky items, e.g. a wall switch required to turn power on the dishwasher, a noisy ice maker that could not be turned off, AC difficult to control, too warm or freezing. It’s a 3.5 star listing with a 5 star price. One parking space only adjacent to the basement level. And, the trash can opening instruction is incorrect.

The property was spotless and beautifully decorated. It fit 4 of us great. Neighborhood is gorgeous and the management company is very professional, accommodating and friendly. Wish there were more lights, a view of the mountains and the tv wasn’t so awkward. Would recommend!!

Such a nice house and Greybeard is a step above as a property manager. The Cheshire area is super nice and you can walk to a small store and 2 restaurants. The restaurants aren’t opened every day, so check the times. All around, a fantastic experience.

Idle Awhile was the perfect place for our family gathering. With bedrooms on each of three floors we all had our privacy. We loved the fact that we were close to Asheville and Montreat. Black Mountain was a delightful town with lots of great eating places. The house had all the amenities one needed. My only concern was having to stand up to use the remote control for the tv on the main floor.

Idle Awhile was a fabulous cabin tucked in the woods - a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of downtown Asheville. It was conveniently close to town, the Biltmore and other tourist spots, but isolated enough to allow for a nice glass of wine on the front porch while listening to the sound of wind in the trees. The house had everything we needed for our stay and plenty of room for our party of 6. Would highly recommend it!

This house was absolutely perfect for our mini-family reunion. Three master suites on three different floor put us all together under one roof with privacy. The kitchen appliances are high end and the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, cookware, plates, glasses, etc. The porch was perfect for playing board games and cards. The Village of Cheshire is idyllic. We all want to come back! Kudos to the homeowners for thinking of everything.
