Great little spot! Very close to Harrahs. Kitchen was well stocked, comfy robes, and clean house! The only comment I would have is that the bathroom door did not slide shut all the way.

Excellent location - just needs some attention

The central location to so many shops, restaurants, museums, etc. And, it's well stocked with household supplies! (minus a spatula).

This is a special spot for anyone visiting Asheville or the surrounding area. Super clean, quaint, spacious, and quiet. I’ve already sent it to my friends and fam! Came with a friend but would also be great for a small family or 2-3 friends. A really easy commute into the city also! We got to say hi to the donkeys as well! Thankyou!

The apartment was clean and well situated. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to. Our only complaint was the sparsity of toilet paper and soap. There were leftover rolls of toilet paper in the pantry.

Quiet, cozy, and cute!

We loved it! The location is about 20 minutes from Asheville on a quiet hilltop. There is a neighbor, but we tried to stay out of their space. The view of the mountains from the living room was lovely. I absolutely adored the decorations in the home! Artwork, furniture choices, lighting... I thought it all was delightful! It was clean, warm (we stayed in December), bright, quiet, and comfortable. We enjoyed space to play games, watch movies, and prepare food for eating. After the Christmas hustle and bustle it was perfect for relaxing and recharging!

Very nicely appointed rooms, great location, but total screw up with combination lock. Probably Vacasa' s fault, not vrbo. We arrived late, and texted back & forth with Vacasa agent. Finally got in at 12:30AM after 1.5 hrs.

Perfect spot

Stayed here for 5 nights as a home base for a leaf watching trip. Property is clean and had every thing we needed for our stay. It’s really central to all of the fun in downtown Asheville. Would definitely stay here again.

The place is small, but perfect for a couple getaway. Close to restaurants in downtown (certainly walkable) and easy highway access for visits to Biltmore and the mountains.

The location was across the street from the Harrah Cherokee Center which was very convenient. The condo came with a parking space which we loved! We walked to restaurants, shopping, and events and felt safe. There was a Keurig coffee maker and wish pods had been supplied or mentioned in kitchen details. The king bed was comfortable. would have given four and 1/2 stars if possible. yes we reccommend

Brand new building in a great location within walking distance to many bars and restaurants. The balcony was very nice to sit on and enjoy. The bed was comfortable and had enough pillows and bedding to stay comfortable. It was nice to have a TV in the bedroom. The parking space was nice and needed, especially on the weekends. The washer and dryer came in handy when needing to freshen up clothes and wash towels. I had a conference at the Omni and could have stayed there, but chose to stay here to be able to enjoy downtown without having to drive. I’m happy with my choice.

We really liked this unit. Decorated very nicely and so clean. Easy access with door codes and we had an assigned parking spot. Nice location in that we could walk downtown. We loved the apartment feel of this rental - more than a hotel. Excellent.

Hidden gem

Living quarters above a two door garage next to the owner’s main house. It sounds iffy but it’s not. It’s very quiet and peaceful and only 15 minutes from downtown. It has been remodeled and very clean. Sit on the deck and watch donkeys, sheep, chickens, turkeys and geese in the small abutting pasture. Very friendly owner who only talked to us when we approached him while he was working in his yard.

Clean, Comfortable & Convenient

We've been renting stay-places and staying at hotels in Asheville and the surrounding area for over 10 years. This was -- for us -- the best stay yet. The price was far more reasonable than other options with similar amenities. Parking was PERFECT and a BONUS! The place was spotless, comfortable (cotton sheets --not microfiber; bed firm and not over-used; towels were very nice; furniture comfortable and decor easy-on-the-eyes), and convenient: walking downtown to eateries/bars was simple and safe and driving to event in Weaverville took 12 minutes. We will be returning to this Hiawassee stay!
