We loved the place. We celebrated my daughter’s 22nd birthday while we were there. It was so comfy, clean, and inviting. Our dog loved playing fetch in the fenced-in back yard, and we enjoyed a fire with s’mores in the fire pit.We liked the proximity to Asheville and many hiking areas, too.We definitely will go back!

Baseball Tournament

We came up to stay for a baseball tournament and brought our dogs along. It was just as described. The dogs absolutely loved the large fenced in yard. It was only 10 minutes from the ball-field which made it very convenient for that. We loved the decorations and made sure to greet Eugene! We would definitely stay here again

Easy access to all of Asheville plus

Nice location! We visited all the major districts and found it fairly easy to get around, using our cell phone gps. At the end of our day we could chill out in a quiet area with a lovely atmosphere inside and out. A substantially sized, fully fenced yard gave us peace of mind for our two dogs.

Quiet time outside Ashville

What a perfect home outside the hustle and bustle of Ash ille. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit at night while watching a perfect full moon at the bottom of a picturesque hill. The home was perfectly curated for an updated "step-back-in-time" vibe that instantly made you feel at home. Our little dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard and we all enjoyed the back porch. Perfect stay.

Wonderful vacation home in gorgeous green rolling hills

We stayed with our two toy dogs in Sam's place for 11 days in August 2024. The home is small but well equipped and comfortable. It has 2 TVs and superfast 5g internet connection. The garden has a fire pit and a grill. Best of all, the garden is huge and fenced in, our dogs went wild with joy. The area is 10 min from a large Ingles supermarket and within easy reach of shopping and chain restaurants. We hope to return in future and highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to explore the Asheville area.

Fantastic stay at the Dogwood.

If you’re looking for a peaceful countryside mountain getaway, Dogwood is an absolute gem of a choice. Only 30 minutes from downtown Asheville, it offered everything we needed. The spacious fenced yard provided a secure area for our two smaller dogs to play and for us to take in picturesque surroundings. Nights were wonderfully tranquil, with clear, starry skies accompanied by the twinkling of fireflies. Mornings were equally serene, treating us to beautiful views of fog-draped mountain peaks and sunrises. The home itself was impeccably clean and cozy, perfect for unwinding, with the porch, undoubtedly our favorite spot, offering an idyllic setting to enjoy morning coffee and the pleasant weather. True to its word, Dogwood was incredibly pet-friendly, equipped with all the essentials for our dogs, including bowls, toys, and towels. Getting to and from the home was a breeze with the highway only a 5-minute drive away, ensuring easy travel to Asheville's attractions. There was also a well-stocked and organized Family Dollar within walking distance for any last-minute needs. Sam proved to be an exceptional host, promptly addressing our inquiries and supplying a comprehensive binder with all necessary instructions and thoughtful recommendations for local dining and activities. Our experience was beyond exceptional and we’ve truly found our home away from home. We cannot wait to return. Thanks, Sam!

Farmhouse Chic

If bringing your pups and location are your priority this is an amazing place. The fencing is perfect even for professional escape artists like my pups. This house is basically 20 minutes to downtown and lots of great hiking. Host communication is the best I’ve ever experienced. Finally, there is just something special about the home. Can’t quite put a finger on it but it just makes you feel peaceful. Will stay again for sure the next time we are back in the area.

We really wanted to love this home, but couldn’t…

We rented this home for a couple of weeks in between moving from our previous home into a new construction for which our builders needed some extra time to finish. We were excited about the location, the chance to experience a more rural stay (being city dwellers), and the huge fenced-in backyard that would be great for our dogs. Thankfully, the owner is an animal-lover and was very accommodating for our pets, which for us are our kids. Unfortunately, however, our stay was largely disrupted by lacking upkeep with maintenance issues for an old home. The fact that this rental is a 90-year-old farmhouse is part of its charm. But, it also caused issues. The main door at the back of the house was difficult to close, the deadbolt was missing the strike plate, the door was literally falling off the hinges, and the latch on the attached screen was broken and unable to be locked. The front door of the home was just as bad because the screen door lock was faulty - disengaging from the frame at even a slight touch — and the deadbolt couldn’t be locked from the inside. It even blew completely open during one day of our stay when there were high winds. We were essentially in a home in which we never felt completely secure and ended our stay a week ahead of schedule. We reported everything to the owner of course and he was very accommodating about giving a refund for the unused days. We hope, however, that the maintenance issues are addressed so the next guest has a better experience.

What a rental should be!

Finally, a rental the way it should be. Sam clearly understands hospitality and this rental home shows it. First the home is as advertised, no funky camera angles or doctored photos, what you see is what you get. No ridiculous asks or chores once you arrive, and no aggresive "or else" language in his requests. Please take out the trash and strip the beds, totally reasonable. The home was super clean, the kitchen has everything you need, Sam provides bed linens and towels and even little soaps in the shower if you forgot yours. The yard is perfect if you're traveling with a pup and the views of the mountains are amazing. This is exactly what we expect (but rarely get) from rentals on these platforms. My wife and two pups had a great experiance and look forward to staying there again on our next trip to Asheville. Thanks Sam!
