2012 Thanksgiving Week

5 of 5
Submitted: December 5, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Paradise Peaks was my first VRBO experience, and because of how smooth everything went with the owner of this rental I will certainly look to use VRBO for future plans. First off the owner does a great and very honest job of describing the property, is quick to respond to inquiry, and very pleasant to work with. The views from the house are stunning and probably really hard to beat, but because it is situated at the tippy-top of a small mountain, the private driveway is steep (duh!) Our guests made it no problem with 2wd cars. If you go to the mtns to get away and relax then you can't beat this place. If you are looking to spend most of your time in downtown Asheville, then maybe you should consider finding a closer place. The drive will take you approx. 30 mins to downtown AVL, which for us was not a problem for the days we planned to go shop, eat, drink, etc. The house itself is very large, and cozy. Homeowner is kind enough to let guests use all their items, if needed, and the kitchen proved large enough for us to cook Thanksgiving dinner for 12 that night! We had 4 couples to occupy the 4 bedrooms, and my only concern would be that their 4th bedroom is small in size and has a futon for a bed. (The other three beds were all very comfortable) The entire time it felt like I was at another family members home and not like a rental. Everyone in our party had only great things to say, and I came out looking like a genius for booking it! Thank you again for everything Katie!

Our family had a wonderful trip at Paradise Peaks. The house was just as described and very clean. The views were amazing! I recommend you arrive during daylight because the drive up to the house was a bit challenging the first time. Thanks Paradise Peaks!

Beautiful house, very remote!

4 of 5
Submitted: October 2, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
The house was absolutely beautiful and fit the description provided. We had plenty of room for our family and more. However, the drive to this house is frightening. It includes very steep, unpaved, one lane roads and at one point we were worried that we would not be able to make it up the hill. In fact, we ended up renting a hotel for one evening that we were out late in Asheville because we did not want to travel those roads at night. If you are staying in for a holiday and not making a lot of trips out, this is the perfect spot!

Owner's Response: We very much regret the challenges you encountered on the roadway leading to our home.

We found coming from the flat landscape of Florida and then driving the narrow, curvy, country roads of North Carolina to be a little nerve wracking for us when we first bought our home. After driving the roads a few times, we learned how to navigate them like one of the locals.

In our description of the house, we’ve portrayed it as rural and we’ve tried to accurately depict the roadways in our travel directions.

Regardless, we are sorry you found the roads tricky to negotiate.

Leicester, NC Vacation

Submitted: April 2, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
We cannot say enough good things about our recent stay! Everything was spot on from the description of the house to the directions. We rented the house for my family to enjoy our son's wedding which was held only 20 minutes away and the convenience was incredibly helpful. Prior to his wedding we held his rehersal dinner and was able to accomodate 35 plus people even with it raining outside! The views were incredible with the pictures almost doing them justice. The ammenities available in the house made it feel like we were at home. I think our families will be talking about their stay for years to come. This is the third time we have used Home Away and everytime we have been satisfied with our choices. And you can be sure we will contiue to use your services in the future. Thank you again for all that you do to make our vacation feel like we are just one of the "Locals".

Better then the discription

5 of 5
Submitted: December 8, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
This is a wonderful, warm, clean and comfortable home. The pictures and discriptions do not do it justice. It is on top of a mountain! The view is outstanding! For us this was a girl trip, 4 days. Not long enough. The directions were perfect and the owner made everything easy. Easy access to Ashville and Biltmore. We found some wonderful, very small crafters along the way. We wish we had been there in the Spring or Fall. It must be spectacular. I plan to return with my husband and hope this lovely home will be available to rent.
