Great Property!
Everything was very clean and well stocked. Porch was very nice to hangout on. Location is close to downtown and we braved the neighborhood hills and biked to dinner our first night there to MyFather's Pizza. Unfortunately we had to leave earlier than expected but we will look into booking again the next time we visit WNC. The only downside is parking...we had 2 trucks between our family of 4 and another family of 3 that stayed for part of the week. The driveway is small and difficult to pull in & out of. There was no covered place to store our mountain bikes, and I think a garage was advertised. We just locked them together under the porch. It is pet friendly but there is no fenced in yard, so if you bring your dogs (we didn't, just noted), be prepared to leash and walk them in the green (common?) space behind the house. Overall a great property for families! We recommend it!

Great place for a long weekend with friends or family
This is a great house. Well organized, well stocked, we had everything we needed. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Nice living room and kitchen. The porch was a very pleasant gathering place. I wouldn't change anything. The location worked great for us. Getting to the central part of the town of Black Mountain was quick and easy, as was access to the highway to travel over to Asheville.

My thoughts of the house
The house was in pretty good condition with a few minor exceptions. There were a couple of maintenance issues. The shower curtain holder was not secure in the shared bathroom upstairs. The light under the microwave was out. My brother and sister in-law stayed in the upstairs master bedroom and stated the mattress should was uncomfortable and should be replaced. They also found a large wad of toilet paper under the bed. The kitchen cabinets were not organized. You had to look all over the place to find cooking utensils. I am a property manager at a high end resort and this is one of my pet peeves. For a house sleeping 10 people, there is only seating for 4 to 5 people in the living room. Others than these items, the house was okay.

Overall fantastic stay and love Black Mountain
I’ve stayed in a lot of BnB/VRBOs over the years, and this house was top five in cleanliness and quality. Great looking hardwood floors throughout, and granite countertops in the kitchen and all bathrooms. Three bathrooms, and two had tiled, walk in showers with double vanities. Plenty for closet space, and side tables by the beds. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast each morning. Great quality appliances. The back porch is screened in with a fire table and plenty of seating. Also had a grill outside if needed. There’s no yard at all, but a large field behind the house that belongs to a church. The only cons that people should be aware of: This house sleeps 10 people, but there is only seating for 4 in the living room. 6 can fit at the dinner table, but there are 4 barstools at the island. The comfort level in the living room is maybe a 3 out of 10. Really needs a living room tune up. Be aware that there is only parking for 2. The driveway is tiny, but the is standard for this entire neighborhood. A third car May be able to park down the street, but not close by the house. Other than some very minor cosmetic things, this house was fantastic and 5 stars. Communication with the management company is iffy, but they did answer.

The capacity of this property and its proximity to Black Mountain and Asheville were perfect for us. The home is new and very well stocked. The AvantStay team reached out early and were very responsive when I had questions. Check in and check out were incredibly simple and efficient. It made for a very enjoyable and stress free vacation.

Black Mountain trip
Cute & clean four bedroom & three bathroom house. It was stocked with many items that most of my past VRBO experiences didn't offer, i.e., enough coffee, tea, sugar, paper towels, trash bags, cleaning products for our entire stay. House is very close to downtown shops. Only real challenge was the limited parking at house. There are only two parking spaces, and you're not allowed to park on the neighborhood streets.

Very Clean Comfy Mountain Retreat
We were a group of 4 adults and a four-year-old. We enjoyed the wonderful gathering areas around the fire pit on the port with great view of fall colors and inside by the fireplace. Everything was very clean. The only negative was that there was barely room for two cars to park despite being a 4 bedroom house.

We had a lovely stay in black mountain and loved our visit here. The back porch was lovely and operated as a second living room. The appliances were all new and in great condition. The property was well kempt with extra towels for showers. We loved the open (church yard) property and mountain view from the back of the house, And we had a short drive into black mountain downtown to enjoy the area. I'd return.
