Connie was very responsive in responding to questions. The farm animals (cows, goats, sheep, chickens, next door were very welcoming. The unpaved road to the lodge was a little difficult to find at night and a bit muddy in the rain. One minor issue was a shortage of pillow cases for the upstairs bedroom but otherwise well stocked. ##### Benedict Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan Nov 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Everything was perfect for an early Christmas trip to Asheville. The house was lovely, Mountain views all around and it snowed like rain. Amazing to watch the mountain tops cover with snow. The house itself was very cozy and stil smelled new. All the amenities were great. The back porch neighbors were goats sheep and chickens. All very friendly. The front pitch views were cattle grazing . Only suggestion would be to pave or gravel the entrance to the drive. It’s hard to see the drive entrance. Otherwise 10/10\. We will be back! ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Sep 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This property is perfect, I can only imagine how stunning it will be in October with fall colors ##### Kevin Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The property is just about perfect and I imagine in just a few weeks when fall rolls into the area, it will be spectacular.
