The location was great - very close to Asheville. We really enjoyed the getaway together (Anniversary weekend). The home was VERY clean and tidy, easy to access, great communication with the owner, and the hot tub was an excellent touch. The mattress was a bit too hard for us, but that could be because it is new and just has not had time to wear in yet. If you like a softer mattress, I recommend bringing a topper with you. All necessities (linens, trash bags, hand soap, etc.) were provided.
