This was an awesome house to rent to stay in Asheville with friends and family over the New Years holiday. Alistair was super responsive and made sure we had a great stay. He even had the golf simulator repaired with new iPad while we were there to make it work better. The house was super cozy and comfortable for our group with plenty of space and lots of activities. Would definitely rent again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a professional stager and designer, I was beyond impressed with this property. Every detail from the thoughtful layout to the high-end finishes speaks of quality and comfort. We booked last minute for a family gathering, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. The home offers true luxury mountain living: spacious, beautifully upgraded interiors, multiple entertainment options including a private cinema, sauna, and hot tub, and a stunning outdoor area with mountain views and a secluded fire pit. It’s the perfect blend of modern elegance and peaceful retreat. Not to mention the large deck dinning option with outdoor kitchen… wow! Highly recommend this home for families or groups looking for a private, or business getaway that won’t disappoint! And you can’t go wrong having Asheville so close to explore! We love Asheville and surrounding areas! Thanks for being a great host and sharing your beautiful space with us!

Stayed here with my wife and 2 kids, we loved it. It nailed Asheville mountain living, big, comfy, and enough space for a big group! Bedrooms each have their own vibe (my kids loved bunk beds!), with a legit theater and the golf simulator was awesome. We stayed there for the outside not the inside though, and it delivered! We loved the view deck, hot tub, sauna, and a great firepit. Private feel, close to town, super clean, and everything’s easy to use. Felt like luxury without the fuss. From booking to check-out, Alistair was a great host and made life easy, we can’t wait to go back.

5 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH. This host saved me, big time, and his property is PHENOMENAL. I had another host cancel within minutes of our check in, and I had a group of 8 women that I was responsible for. I was in full blown panic looking for someone to take us last minute, and Alistair was so accommodating, so kind, just a total hero. And his house!!! You guys, this house is the greatest home I’ve ever stayed in and I stay in luxury airbnbs many times per year. The sauna, the hot tub, the bathrooms, the beds, just fantastic. The porches were beautiful, the yard stunning, the water feature beautiful, everything so 5 star. You must book here. The amenities, the games, the lay out, it’s just amazing. I cannot say enough positive things about this property and the host. As bad as it was that the other person cancelled last minute, I’m so glad they did because this was even better.
