Beautiful view of Mountains and Lake James! Nice clean home with great views from every room. Great layout for families, upstairs and downstairs have family rooms. Good location close to lots of outdoor activities and Asheville is short drive. We enjoyed our stay and would book this house again in the future. Thanks!

Asheville Adventure Home was Very clean and spacious!! Plenty of room to spread out. About 30 minutes to Asheville. Very cool town Lots to see and Great Food,Outdoor music,Art Galleries We especially enjoyed the Pinball museum were you can play unlimited games for 15.00! Went hiking in Pisgah forest saw some beautiful waterfalls. Lake James was clean and great for swimming. Only Caution over 100 steps down to lake..pretty strenuous Not for young children or elderly and Wi-Fi was sketchy Apart from that Awesome house and Location ☺️ Bruce was quick to help with questions We had a great time!!

Spectacular View; Comforts of Home The house had a good layout, clean, and a beautiful view of the mountains and lake. The inside of the house was actually nicer than the pictures display. Walk down to the lake is a little tricky, as others have said, but it's a small sacrifice for the view. There were only two of us, but the house can easily accommodate a family with kids or 2-3 couples. The guest book was a nice touch since previous visitors gave us some ideas of local adventures to seek out while there. Had one question for the host and it was answered very quickly. All in all, comfortable house for our visit!

Schwartz stay Everything was as advertised. We were a group of 6 adults in our 70's. Setting avaibality was not suitable, we had to use one of the dinning room chairs. Not the best comfort for watching TV. I would recommend a love seat in the main living room for additional seating. For groups who want to spend time together. Everything else was perfect.

Perfect mountain home Our family stayed for Thanksgiving and had the most wonderful time! The house was spotless and had so many great amenities. Kids loved playing ping pong, and the kitchen was fully stocked for preparing our big meal The property owner went above and beyond to address any questions during our stay. He was always very helpful, kind, and quick to respond. The views of the property are also breathtaking. So enjoyed having coffee on the large covered porch and taking walks around the gorgeous neighborhood.
