Knitters getaway
We are 8 women friends who knit and do other fiber crafts. Every October we go to Asheville for SAFF held at the AG center. Because of Helene SAFF was canceled so instead of a refund we decided to just get together in January. This house was in the perfect location and a perfect place for us. There are a lot of places to find some quiet time and a great room where we could all be together. There is also an amazing screened in porch with a fire table where we could all sit around with a glass of wine. Everything was clean and well stocked. Lots of books and games. The hosts were the best communicators. They answered any questions in less than 10 minutes. We have been going to SAFF for years and always stay at a different place because they are somehow not just right. This place is and fortunately we were able to book again for SAFF 2025.

Our family enjoyed our stay, property was clean, comfortable, and plenty of space for solo time if needed. Supplies for cooking and the grill was a great size. Communication with host was quick and consistent. The location was close to airport and grocery stores if needed, Asheville downtown is only 20 mins. We will likely stay here again in the future!

The location and amenities of this home really made our stay above and beyond! The pictures don’t do this place the justice it deserves. Talk about coffee with a view…breathtaking in September!

Well equipped, clean & cozy
The home is very clean and a nice size. Our family had plenty of room to sleep, and to work remotely. Our favorite rooms were the sunroom with breathtaking views of the mountains and the screened in porch for meals and relaxing by the fire pit or playing board games in the evenings. The Biltmore Estate was in close proximity as well as the numerous hiking trails. The hosts, Birgit and Tony are very welcoming and communicate well.

Lovely, spacious home
This is a lovely, spacious home with comfortable furnishings in a good location. We especially loved the screened porch and the sunroom with a lovely view. There was plenty of room for the family to spread out and the house included a game room which the children loved. The hosts provided helpful detailed instructions and responded promptly to my call about how to stop the noise from the hot tub recycling. Highly recommended.

Family Vacation!
We knew as soon as we walked into the Rhodie House, that we had made an excellent choice! It smelled so clean and it was so clean! The set up was perfect for two families of four and our poochie! Birgit and Tony are so sweet and welcoming with the bottle of wine that was left for us as well as a treat for our dog! The beds are super comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed for making meals. The house is so super cozy and the porch and hot tub were much enjoyed amenities! There is so much to see and do in the area. The house was in a great location so we didnt have to drive far to get to places. Thank you so much for having us as guests! We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely enjoy coming back in the future!

GREAT LOCATION
We loved the Rhodie house with its beautiful surroundings and the proximity of restaurants, any type of shopping, and downtown Asheville. The house itself was wonderful with lots of room for our 6-person group. It was very clean with good kitchen amenities and many extras such as a multitude of books and games and an actual game room containing pinball, Pac-man, television and more. Oh, and also a full-size laundry room. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable, and the "3-season" room (i.e. BIG screened in porch) and also the cozy den that provided gorgeous views were our favorite rooms. This is a great place in a great location, and the host (Birgit) was great as well.

Perfect Space!
This house has amazing space - almost all week we had afternoon thunderstorms but the covered screened porch and 4 season room were perfect to still enjoy the mountains and watch the storms pass. I just can't say enough about these spaces. Kids loved the game room, too, giving them space away from the adults. The yard was fantastic for our pups; they were secured inside the fence. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the location was great, with grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Recommend visits to Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock Park, and a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The house was absolutely as beautiful as described in the Vrbo description. It was a lovely house that made you feel like you were in the trees. Comfortable seating, beds, bathrooms. All really fantastic. The screened in porch and the sun room and the hot tub were huge draws for our group of ladies. It was absolutely worth the 20 minute drive into Asheville to stay in this home. The host was the most responsive host we have ever experienced. Fantastic!

Perfect Spot for a Friend Vacation.
This is the perfect spot, right outside of Asheville but still close to everything it’s just the right amount of secluded mountainside oasis and home base. The owners are communicative and give fantastic recommendations. Our group absolutely loved the enclosed porch and the hot tub after a long day of hiking. Could not recommend this place enough and we will be back.

Fabulous Property With Lots Of Character And Amenities
This was a fabulous property for me and my family. Walking in, it was one of the cleanest houses I’ve ever rented. It was an older house, but updated in such a way that it was modern in utility, while keeping its rustic charm. The beds were very comfortable. The owners were great to work with. Very accommodating and check in/out was super easy. The hot tub was used quite a bit and added to the enjoyment of the property. The gas fireplace added to the coziness of the house on the cold nights. Kitchen appliances were modern and in great working order. The washer and dryer are extra large in capacity, so doing laundry before we left was fast and easy. The views of the mountains were awesome and the proximity to Asheville was great. We definitely enjoyed the many books offered for guests in our down time. We would definitely stay here again.

This location made for a great 4-night visit with family at the beginning of our holiday trek. The views were gorgeous and the space was very comfy. The shuffleboard game in the basement was a big hit. Our beagle really enjoyed the house too! The directions left by the host were easy to understand.
