This listing says “*NEW*”. Not even close. Sketchy neighborhood. Walked in and had spider drop on shoulder. Pictures and reality two different things. The property manager ridiculed us for our reaction. We were in and out fast as it was obvious we had been mislead. Would strongly discourage staying at this or any other property manager by this owner. We have stayed in many VRBO over years. Never had any issues until this. And have never had a property manager be so tone deaf and non customer oriented. We found another place and had a wonderful trip. VRBO and owner Have not refunded full stay prepaid money for this blatant misrepresentation which has been quite disappointing.

We enjoyed staying at your property. Thank you.

Gartness House was perfect home base for our summer retreat to Black Mountain/Montreat. We loved the central location near Lake Tomahawk. We took daily walks around the lake, golf course, town and up the ridge. We had easy access into town and up to Montreat to enjoy all the July 4th holiday activities. The mattresses were particularly good, very new and right level of firmness without being too hard. all enjoyed good nights’ sleep. The kitchen had everything we needed for family meals. Our kids enjoyed the oversized swing in the yard and our dogs enjoyed the corner lot with lots of room to run.

Wonderful good sized fenced in yard for dog. Close to Lake Tomahawk and downtown Black Mnt. Wonderful room filled with toys for kids. Great kitchen Ample parking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gartness House. The property was as described and convenient to both Black Mountain, the Blue RIdge Parkway, and Asheville. Communication with the host was excellent, and we were more than satisfied with our experience at this property.
