Really enjoyed our stay. Its an exciting drive to get there but worth the adventure. House had everything we could hope for and host was amazing and responsive. Great stay!
Loved the game area downstairs and hot tub!. Lots of family competition in the evenings playing ping pong foosball and connect four! Lots of good memories made! Great area of outdoor activities all around! Wi-Fi at night not good but we enjoyed the no internet time together!
We spent 6 nights at Bair Necessities. The cabin is tucked back in the woods, thru winding roads. The woods are thick around the cabin so there are no mtn views. Short drive to Old Fort or Black Mountain in the opposite direction. Lots of great eating & shopping in Black Mtn.
The house is beautiful and lots of room to move around. The basement had a lot of fun games for adults (kids would enjoy too) and the hot tub was awesome to relax in the evening.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars for cleanliness was the amount of spider webs that were inside the house and outside too. They were literally everywhere as if the house hadn't had a visitor in months. We cleaned up the webs that were in our way and it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves!
Great vacation property! The host was very friendly and available to guide and answer questions while booking and while staying at the property. The cabin is in great shape, has all the comforts you will need for a relaxing vacation in the mountains. It is spacious and comfortable for everyone. We had a great time! Thank you!
Our group of five had a lovely two nights in the mountains to celebrate the New Year. We enjoyed the hot tub, comfortable beds, great kitchen, and ample living space.
The cabin was great, the driveway can be scary at first but it's not bad after the first go and everything was very straightforward as long as you read the material in the binder.
Comfortable cabin with amazing hot tub minutes from town. Drive is steep but all wheel drive navigated it fine without any snow. Beautiful views and wood fireplace was perfect. Nice to be able to bring our dog along.
The house and view are fantastic! We had a mini family reunion there with our family of 5 plus one set of grandparents as well as some local family that came to visit during the days. The space was perfect, back porch and the basement with the game room were the favorite hangouts for the week. Location is great, remote enough to be peaceful but close enough to everything, would highly recommend this property!
Great communication from the get go! Kept in touch through text messages! Even asked if we wanted any Christmas decorations! (We went dec 21-24)Great Cabin for a multi generational family getaway. Teens could spend time downstairs w all the games while we adulted up stairs. Cooked 3 dinners, had everything we needed!!! We would bring foil, zip lock bags and more togo containers next trip! Had lots of blankets of all warmth through out the house, which was great! We had 2 dogs w us and the cabin was perfect for them. Little grassy area out front where they could play. Just a heads up, there is no typical charcoal/gas grill, it is a blackstone grill. Some may not be used to using that type. Also, it needs a good scrub! We just put foil down and cooked steaks on top of the tin foil. You will see some stink bugs, but if you've been in the woodsy area, you know thats extremely typical for a wood cabin. Highly recommend!!! Everyone from 8 yrs- 70 yrs loved it!
We loved the Cabin itself and enjoyed all the amenities that came with it.
We don't understand why 2 of the smoke detectors were missing? I would hope they would be replaced before the next rental.
We all enjoyed the cabin and would definitely stay there again!
An easy trip, with a surprise ending---as this property is tucked back deep in the woods for a perfect remote feeling getaway from the hustle and bustle. The interior of the property was clean, and boasts that true mountain cabin feel. Beds were comfy, amenities were adequate for cooking at home, and the game room was perfect for our pre-teen kids to enjoy while we were there! It was nice to be outside of Asheville and explore the surrounding towns...Old Fort and Black Mountain, and still convenient to go into Asheville for activities.
The best surprise was being greeted one morning by two beautiful peacocks on the back deck!
This doesnt need to be posted, but my only complaint would be the exterior of the home. There outdoor patio and furniture were covered in bird poop (seems this would be cleaned up a bit) and the porch seemed to be leaning, which didnt make us feel comfortable spending time outside.

Cozy getaway
Overall, we were satisfied with our stay.
Pros: wood burning fireplace and wood supply; very spacious; lots of bathrooms; game room.
Cons: wasps and dead bugs throughout the inside - contacted the management company on Saturday as I am highly allergic to wasps and they didn't call pest control out until Tuesday and no one ever showed up. Hot tub water was not clean, management company said they would reach out to the owner for part refund and I have not heard back from management company after further inquiry. We were attracted to the remote location, however future renters need to know that the wifi is very slow and minimal. We could connect our phones to it, but not computers. It is not a spot to work from home. The game room could use new ping pong paddles and needs darts for the dart board.
The home is beautiful and cozy. It is the perfect getaway for quality screen free family time which is what we were looking for. We enjoyed it, just wish the hot tub would have been working and the pests would have not been an issue, especially for the price.

Sad Situation
The property had three major issues: 1. No Wi-Fi, I was essentially told that it isn’t the property owners issue and they won’t do anything to help. 2. Hot tub was gross and moldy, there were no chemicals in the house to even self service the hot tub, I was offered a refund and it was never given by the owners. 3. The owners didn’t get the last renters trash off the property and a bear destroyed the bear box and damaged my rental car. The owners claimed this was an act of god and would not provide me with the property insurance information. I had to contact VRBO for this information.
In short, the property is not as listed and the owners treat you poorly. I asked for a refund since we left the property after the bear attacked. There was garbage all over and the owners were not going to clean it up. The bears would have come back that night and probably started into the house for more food. The owners denied any refund, claiming we should have known the risks of bears attacking and damaging the rental car.
This cabin exceeded our expectations! There were six of us who stayed here and it was very spacious. There were two peacocks that greeted us on arrival. We loved the big windows which brought in a lot of natural light. The drive to the cabin is quite smooth and the actual driveway is a little steep but we were all able to manage to get up with two wheel drive cars. The cabin was well stocked with firewood which we utilized with the lovely indoor fireplace. The kitchen was stocked with pots/pans and some main supplies like flour, oil, seasonings, etc. The hot tub was amazing and plenty big for the six of us. At night the front porch and deck was amazing for stargazing. 10/10 stay.
Very nice cabin getaway that is a bit off the path.
The road to get to the cabin is unpaved in some places and quite steep.
The cabin itself is very clean and well maintained. We had no issues with any appliances or supplies.
One very important thing for us is to NOT call for help. It's good to have service a available but much better to not need it at all.
The peacocks were an unexpected, but welcome surprise. They blended in beautifully into the beauty around us. They were not bothersome, and seemed comfortable around humans. They visited us everyday, in the morning and in the evening. All in all, wonderful stay.
Great place to get away in the mountains, property was clean and spacious. Parking for more than 2 vehicles could be potentially challenging and the access road is quite steep. The game room and hot tub were excellent, kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend at Bair Necessities. We enjoyed our coffee on the back deck while listening to the calls of the wild peacocks, hawks, and the chattering of squirrels. Our time at Bair Necessities was so relaxing. We loved having a game room, such fun! We plan on coming back as soon as we can!!
Very spacious, the basement was so cool! The location is fun and deep in nature. A bear got into our lock box so that just needed replaced! The peacocks were so pretty and visited us every once in a while.
We rented the cabin for spring break and it was the perfect size. And it was close to Old Fort, Black Mountain, hiking and Asheville. There are lots of hiking trails nearby. We loved the fireplace and hot tub. Everything was clean and well taken care of.
