It was clean, the beds were so comfortable and it was very convenient to the concert we attended. The only complaint I have is that I didn't receive the door code until almost 35 minutes after my check-in time. ##### Rob Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen S.

Front of the house when pulling into the house could use some up keep.. bushes grass weeds etc ##### Stephen S. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Charlotte S. Aug 10, 2024 #### Not all good Location to Black Mountain good. Railroad crossing arm down a lot so had to be creative on getting to main road. House outside looks like a dump. Very hard to get sound on tv. Very hard to get decent channels instead of kid channels. Water from shower head just a little stream. Trash can so full hard to get my trash in. Ended up moving out after first week so threw away money paid for second week. Too much stress trying to deal with things. ##### Charlotte S. ### 6/10 Okay #### Berlon R. Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### As good as could be expected for the price and area The interior of the property was very nice and clean. This is a house split into 3 units. One upstairs and 2 downstairs. One of the downstairs units has a mattress on the floor and no other furnishings. Our unit was around back through a french door. The landscaping was awful as was the driveway. It's right by some train tracks too. The train really didn't bother us, but we did have to cross them to come and go. The neighbors seemed to be okay. They both have dogs but there wasn't an issue with barking. We thought that we were the only ones in the property but one night we came back and there was lights on upstairs but no cars. We heard movement upstairs that night, nothing crazy, but then they were gone the next day. We never saw a car or heard or seen anyone again so this raised a few red flags for us. The water pressure was awful. I had read the reviews before and was anticipating there to be an issue occasionally if someone else was using another unit. Like I said we were the only ones there the entire 5 days except that one night. The water pressure was bad the WHOLE time. It just dribbles out of the shower head and sink and then gets a little pressure and your good for a few minutes, then it dribbles again. I have a lot of hair and need high pressure to rinse the conditioner. It took forever. We booked this because it was close to the festival and affordable. I would say it was a good value for the price. The unit was pretty nice inside and had everything we needed. ##### Berlon R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lorraine P. May 27, 2024 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Horrible - scam I never checked into this place. It looked abandoned and the surrounding felt Unsafe. The pictures do not match actual property. Waiting for a refund, as per Vacasa manager : Ericka. ##### Lorraine P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob H. Sep 28, 2022 #### Great Property This property was clean, nicely furnished and so convenient to Black Mountain and Asheville. I would definitely recommend this home. ##### Rob H.
