The pictures of this house do not do it justice. It's spacious, clean, and plenty of room for a big family getaway. The basement area makes the house unique. We could send the kids down there to entertain themselves for hours, and adults had fun playing pool and watching TV as well. There were plenty of towels and linens, the kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, utensils, and basic supplies. There were also plenty of paper goods and laundry supplies. And one of my favorite things - the furniture was really, really nice! So many times I've stayed in a VRBO with beaten-up, cheap furniture that you don't really want to touch, let alone snuggle down in. But everything in this home was high quality, durable, clean, and comfortable. The house is about 15 minutes from shops and restaurants in Black Mountain, and 30 minutes from Asheville. There is a giant, beautiful grocery store about 15 minutes away as well as a Starbucks. We will definitely be back!
