checkin was easy. was worried about the road up to the property, but in the end wasn't a big deal. but being steep and not well lit, we decided to get back every evening before dark. worked out great, because we took advantage of the great kitchen and cooked terrific dinners every night. we really enjoyed the hot tub, and the kids loved making smores by the firepit every night. property was beautifully decorated and everyone was comfortable in their rooms. kids really enjoyed the board games available, as well as the game room. the location was perfect for us to explore asheville and surrounding areas. cant wait to visit again.
