Chasing waterfalls
The house is gorgeous and the view is stunning. Peaceful and pleasantly secluded. Luanne is a wonderful host and the cookies she provided for us upon our arrival gave us a taste of the local flavor. Delicious! This was our first time staying in Brevard to hike and see waterfalls and the woods are whimsical. You will not be disappointed. Looking forward to returning next year.

What a Welcoming Visit
The property is gorgeous. We thought we would be way out in the middle of nowhere, but we were close enough to town to enjoy. Luanne made us feel so very welcome from the minute we thought about making a reservation. The property itself is gorgeous and exactly as in the pictured. It rained the entire time we were there, so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoors as much as we would have liked, but the inside was well furnished and supplied for all needs. They had everything we needed and so much more. The 2 queen bedrooms are downstairs and each has its own bathroom, which was really convenient. They do not, however, have tvs. No problem for us, but just so you know. The yard is lovely. There is ample parking The hot tub is located where we could not enjoy it with all the rain, but it also looked wonderful. It was so nice to have a fenced yard for our dogs. It isn't such that they could run the yard, but it was enough to sit out with them and let them enjoy some freedom. I have never stayed a place where I felt so welcome and truly like I was staying at a friends.

Great home base for an adventure vacation!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The deck and hot tub are excellent for relaxing after a day of hiking or biking. Luanne was thoughtful enough to drop us off pastries one morning, which was greatly appreciated! The entire family had a fantastic week, from grandpa to the baby and dogs.

Great getaway spot!
The pictures don't tell the whole story. This house offers total privacy with a long range view of the mountains in the distance. You cannot see another house in any direction from anywhere on this property. We drove into Asheville for a concert (45 minutes) and into Brevard (15 minutes) during our stay, and both were very easy trips. Very roomy house with everything you could need. Will definitely try to book again in the future.

We wanted a place close to Brevard NC that had plenty of space, There were 3 couples so we wanted 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Let the Good Times Roll was the perfect fit, We enjoyed playing pool in the evenings and jumped in the hot tube at all times of the day. The drive to Brevard was short and sweet, and the property was easy to find, GREAT PLACE !!

The best vacation rental
If you're looking at this property, just book it. You won't regret it. A beautiful house, great, peaceful, quiet location and a super host. Luanne was very sweet, has a clean, well stocked property. We had 3 families there for a joint vacation and everyone loved it. The house is so peaceful and relaxing, near downtown Brevard (a fun trip), about 25 minutes to Hendersonville (definitely do the gem mining there!) and about 40 minutes to Asheville. The house is about 15 minutes to shopping so you'll want to plan a trip to stock up. We cooked at the house most of the time using the BBQ, although the kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of linens and even toiletries. The fire pit was lots of fun. (She has firewood for sale so no need to buy any--we realized afterwards.) We saw deer and early in the morning there was even a mama bear and cubs! The only thing is if you're planning on working, internet is spotty, even hotspotting off my phone. Forced me to completely take a break off-grid and I came home so relaxed. I needed a package delivered and Luanne went out of her way to make sure I got it. Would love to go back again. Thanks Luanne!
