Great home base for an adventure vacation!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The deck and hot tub are excellent for relaxing after a day of hiking or biking. Luanne was thoughtful enough to drop us off pastries one morning, which was greatly appreciated! The entire family had a fantastic week, from grandpa to the baby and dogs.

Great getaway spot!
The pictures don't tell the whole story. This house offers total privacy with a long range view of the mountains in the distance. You cannot see another house in any direction from anywhere on this property. We drove into Asheville for a concert (45 minutes) and into Brevard (15 minutes) during our stay, and both were very easy trips. Very roomy house with everything you could need. Will definitely try to book again in the future.

Location was short distance from most anything business/restaurant. (10-15 minutes) Walked in the home to hear relaxing music playing on TV. Warmth in the home and the lights were on. It felt very welcoming! Host was quick to respond to every email and even texted. Would highly recommend this property and would love to stay at her other properties.

We wanted a place close to Brevard NC that had plenty of space, There were 3 couples so we wanted 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Let the Good Times Roll was the perfect fit, We enjoyed playing pool in the evenings and jumped in the hot tube at all times of the day. The drive to Brevard was short and sweet, and the property was easy to find, GREAT PLACE !!

House was perfect, spotless, well equipped with everything we needed and Luanne was absolutely fantastic in terms of insuring our stay was going well, quick response with any questions, and her suggestions for places to eat/drink, visit were spot on. We will definitely be back and will definitely stay ate one of Luanne’s locations. Thank you Luanne for everything.

The best vacation rental
If you're looking at this property, just book it. You won't regret it. A beautiful house, great, peaceful, quiet location and a super host. Luanne was very sweet, has a clean, well stocked property. We had 3 families there for a joint vacation and everyone loved it. The house is so peaceful and relaxing, near downtown Brevard (a fun trip), about 25 minutes to Hendersonville (definitely do the gem mining there!) and about 40 minutes to Asheville. The house is about 15 minutes to shopping so you'll want to plan a trip to stock up. We cooked at the house most of the time using the BBQ, although the kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of linens and even toiletries. The fire pit was lots of fun. (She has firewood for sale so no need to buy any--we realized afterwards.) We saw deer and early in the morning there was even a mama bear and cubs! The only thing is if you're planning on working, internet is spotty, even hotspotting off my phone. Forced me to completely take a break off-grid and I came home so relaxed. I needed a package delivered and Luanne went out of her way to make sure I got it. Would love to go back again. Thanks Luanne!

This is a wonderful home overlooking the Pisgah forest and mountains beyond. Completely stocked with all the dishes, utensils and kitchen items needed. The floor mattresses were used both upstairs and downstairs providing comfortable accommodations for family members. Beds were very comfortable and the house was extremely clean upon our arrival. Hot tub and billiard table were real crowd pleasers along with the screened-in porch and open porch with mountain views. you'll love this quiet retreat in the mountains and want to return.

Amazing trip!
This house was perfect!!! We stayed here with family for our wedding. It’s hard to find a place that’s ok with events. It was perfect for our children to run and explore but also to have a small group of friends and family here after our ceremony at Pretty Place Chapel! We were pleasantly surprised by all the extras it had from the mattresses to the closet stocked full of supplies!! We will definitely be saving it for stays later on. Best Vrbo we’ve stayed at!
