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.

Enjoyed it!
Super clean. Very responsive with a few questions we had even during off hours. TV area furniture could be more comfy/cozy for two families watching a movie. Was lovely to have it be pet friendly.

Last minute Christmas visit to Asheville
The house was exactly as described/photographed. Spotless and comfortable. Communication was quick and clear and check-in & access to the house was a breeze. (Maybe another cozy loveseat would be a nice addition in the living room for family movie nights. 😊) Thank you!

Christmas Vacation
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.
