Christmas family vacation
We booked well in advance due to the stay was on Christmas. Bill was very attentive to responding to any questions I had. There was a huge hurricane that went through Asheville and he was informative about the property’s condition. No damages, just the utilities went out and a few trees. My family had a wonderful stay, it checked all the boxes as far as rooms, space, and nearby attractions like the Biltmore estates. Its truely a unique home!

Wonderful Memories Made
Bill was a great host. Super quick to respond and always kind and gracious. The property severed our family of 23 perfectly. The extra large fridge was great and the dinning room table was well used! We brought our own pickle ball set and set it up in the basketball area. Hours of family fun. The room with the antique piano was special to our musical family. We brought along our violins, cellos, and horns and played music together every day. We would definitely stay here again if we were all in the area.

Family stay
We really enjoyed staying at this home. It was very unique and everyone loved it. There was plenty of room for all. The only draw back was the bathroom situation. Four bedrooms had private baths. The rest had to share one that was in the basement. It was not convenient.

The house was just what we needed. Plenty of room, and we love the layout. The location was close to the airport, which we visited 6 times to get family in and out for our grandmother's funeral. Host was very helpful! Very clean.

Perfect host, perfect place!
Bill was a fabulous host! Great communicator. Check in and out was a breeze. Our large family included infants, children and teens. The outdoor space was perfect for playing! The adults enjoyed the fire pit and outdoor lighting. My elderly father had a perfect stay in the quaint apartment on the property. It was nice for him to come and go as he needed. The baby grand piano was also a nice touch as many in the family play. Finally, Bill thought of everything as he decorated the home for Christmas! Minutes away from anything we needed it was the perfect stay! Thanks again, Bill. We will be back.

Enough bedrooms for the entire family
My family from around the country chose Asheville as the place to spend a long weekend to celebrate Christmas together. This home has enough bedrooms to fit everyone. It definitely has historic charm!! We appreciated the christmas decorations and patio heaters around the fire pit. The homeowner was friendly, easy to contact and allowed our pets

My daughter wanted to stay in a cute cottage, that’s exactly what she got!
We picked this location because our daughter wanted a cute cottage in Asheville to stay in. Our family which is 8 plus her in laws, a family of 9 all stayed here. Other family members stayed at other rentals in the area and we all got together for dinner one evening and still had plenty of room!! We had children ages 6-18 and they all enjoyed playing in the huge yard, with the basketball goal, and many extras in the garage. This property has so much character and history. Well worth every penny. Would definitely return!

Wonderful property for our Family!
The property was absolutely beautiful with so much space and amenities for our family to enjoy while attending our son’s Wedding. Plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms and loved the cottage. The history and unique features such as the library, large dining room and outside entertainment space made it just perfect! We will definitely stay again when in Asheville. Thank you Bill for being a great host. We appreciate the communication, updates and getting us extra firewood when we needed it!

Property needs TLC
Prior to writing this review I reached out to the owner to share our feedback. Bill however threw everything back at me stating that it was “our responsibility” to report these issues to him. Frankly we were on vacation and for what we paid, this house should have been “ready” for us to enjoy. Upon arrival the owner contacted me to inform of a few items that were not working (the top oven), broken (handrail on staircase) and the musty smell in the cottage. I felt slightly deceived of the last minute information. This home needs attention, there were several lights burned out, the sofa cushions were worn and torn and some of the knobs did not work properly. In the kitchen the silverware drawer falls off track when pulled open that a few times almost fell on our toes. Many cobwebs in the bedrooms and the lower bedroom and cottage smelled musty (even with windows opened the smell would not go away….concerning that we have been breathing in mold) Bill promised me a refund…. which I’m still waiting to see.

Great place to relax and play
Family gathered to spread the ashes of my parents. There was plenty of room for a large dining time with a fire pit time after. Little ones played with toys and read books. Late night movies at the couch followed. A great place to restore after some somber times during the day. Beautiful home and grounds outside!

Our first trip as a family
My husband and I planned this trip to spend with our younger siblings and their families. All in all we had 19 people at the house ranging in age from 2 - 46 years old. We had a blast! The kids had a great time playing outside, we held an epic cornhole tournament, used the fire pit every night and we even had a surprise marriage proposal! (She said yes!) Some of the kiddos asked if we could do this again next year - and we just might :)

Wonderful Historic Home
Bills property amazed us in every way! The outside is absolutely stunning! And then going inside it has such a historic charm with touches of modern updates! We loved walking through each room and seeing the different styles of each one. We were celebrating our wedding and there was plenty of room for the 17 of us!! Bill was very responsive and even checked in to make sure we did not need anything! We would 100% book again if we go back with a big group!

Beautiful Home for Family Reunion
Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful family home! My parents, three siblings & their spouses, and our nine children found plenty of space to cook, play, rest, explore, and enjoy each others’ company. Favorites included walks to the lookout, playing in the yard, fires on the patio, spacious comfortable rooms, lots of bathrooms, and cooking together in the kitchen. Bill was an awesome host! We can’t recommend this place enough!

Comfy Escape - Great for Large Groups
Myself and a large group of high school friends, their spouses, and children stayed at this lovely house for 3 nights. The property was very comfortable with plenty of beds and interior space for our large group as well as a wonderful outdoor space to relax in. The property is quite close to Asheville so we were able to easily enjoy the city and it's surroundings every day and return to this quiet property to relax every evening. Bill and his team were incredibly communicative before and during our stay when we had any questions or concerns. Our entire group had a wonderful time and we would gladly return in the future!

Incredibly, Unique stay for business retreat
My colleagues and I came on a strategy retreat here, and the home couldn't have been better. Tons of character, lots of space for private moments and team bonding, huge table for meals together and working sessions, lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy the scenery, and comfortable bedding. The kitchen was well appointed, and we enjoyed the grill a few nights for meals. The owner was very accommodating for us, including some special requests that I know weren't simple to execute. We truly appreciate it and I hope I can come back soon!

The only way to describe this property is magic. It's absolutely beautiful and so unique. The owner is very friendly and helpful but we needed nothing at all from him. I love history and this home just made my heart explode. It is such a beautiful place with such cool features. It's huge and the yard is wonderful. Decently quiet, besides the neighbors doggos and some turkeys which we did not mind. The most beautiful place I've yet to visit. Perfect location.
