Summary: The property was very clean and the host was extremely welcoming and responsive. We had no issues during our stay, but she did check in to make sure that we didn’t need anything. We absolutely loved the fully fenced in backyard for our two dogs. The hot tub, Foosball table and swing in the backyard were big hits with our kids. We also really enjoyed the waffle bar. Great location close to Pisgah national forest and downtown Brevard. Would definitely stay here again!
