This property was perfect for my family. We rented the entire house - both the upstairs & the downstairs. My husband & I stayed in the downstairs unit and my sister & her family stayed in the upstairs unit, which was a little larger. Both units were tidy & had nicely appointed kitchens, with stove/ovens, full-sized fridges, 12-cup drip coffee makers & dishwashers. Also, both kitchens had plates, bowls, mugs, silverware, knives, etc. There was an inside door we could have locked, along with locks on the outside of both units. The tables in both units were large enough to seat all of us. Also, both units had super big couches & TVs: but we didn't watch TV - too busy taking advantage of Asheville & being together. Parking was limited, but we were able to comfortably fit 3 cars. With so much to do we didn't have time to take advantage of the fire pit, but my sister & I did sit outside (on the Kelty loveseat I brought) every morning to have coffee & talk. It was lovely out back with the river below (there was some road noise, but not too bad). We did not bring a dog, but I noticed that while there was a small, fully fenced area for dogs to relieve themselves, but the back yard was not fully fenced; so I wouldn't allow a dog off-leash in the back yard if you had a dog that likes to explore. We were visited by wild turkeys on a couple of days.
