Very nice apartment - perfect for our hiking trip in the Black Mountain area of Ashville! Enjoyed walking to different places around town. Even found a great bakery nestled in the neighborhood on our walk to Lake Tomahawk! Host was very quick to respond prior to our trip and during it. Nice homebase that had everything we needed!

Great location short walk to downtown and the lake. The host was very friendly and accommodating. Outdoor space was nice with a grill and fire pit. It is a duplex with minimal noise from upstairs guests. We will definitely book this listing again.

Super Clean, perfect location

This is the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. I’m mean CLEAN! Somebody give that cleaning person a raise. My mom and I stayed for 2 nights and loved everything about this place. We were in the bottom unit. Walked everywhere. Beds were very comfortable with plush sheets. Would absolutely stay here again.

Excellent location, comfortable unit

We were able to book both units in this duplex for a family holiday gathering. Certainly, we could not have found anything better located in Black Mountain. As the property description indicates, we were just five minutes from the center of this lovely small town and five minutes from Lake Tomahawk Park. All of us, including our dogs, enjoyed our stay in Take-a-Hike.

Tidy / thoughtful/prime location

This property was super tidy extremely thoughtful in detail for renter friendliness and perfect location. We enjoyed the clean unit , thoughtful details such as a first aid kit /ample firewood for the fire pit/ front porch swing and more. Walking distance to town and the ability to hear the church bells ringing from the property such a blessing. A gem of a place.

Great Location and Clean Property

We stayed at this property and really enjoyed cleanliness and closeness to the shops, restaurants and near by parks and hikes. Property is bit small but accommodates four people comfortably. The communication with property manager/owner was easy and clear. I would stay here again if I go to Asheville area

Great location-not great amenities

The location is outstanding! 1. I received an email just hours before check-in time to inform me that dogs can NOT stay in a crate unattended. No sightseeing without the dog? Why not put that in the detail BEFORE booking? This is NOT A DOG FRIENDLY VRBO! 2. There was not one blade of grass on the entire property - it's all gravel. NOT OKAY. 3. The freezer had no ice maker and there are no ice trays. BIG NOT OKAY. 4. The a/c did not cool the bedrooms-bring your own fan. 5. Although it is advertised as a @ bedroom VRBO, there was an extra fee for using the second bedroom- WTH! Black Mountain is beautiful but I will go to the Hampton Inn before coming here again.

CLEANEST PROPERTY!!

I have many good things to say about our stay here but the one thing that stood out the most was that this was the cleanest property I have ever stayed at! Not a speck of dirt or dust to be found. The host was easy to reach and very accomodating. There are extra blankets and towels. The bed was comfortable. There are built in USB ports on the nightstands. The kitchen seemed well stocked with a nice gas stove although we did not get an opportunity to use it. The location was perfect for us to go exploring in town. I would definitely stay again if the opportunity arose.

Location and access to Black Mountain was excellent

Sorry but the front porch overlooking gravel stone versus lawn and just 15 yards from busy street was not enjoyable. The overhead lighting should be on dimmers. Never the less the location served us well as we were visiting to purchase a lot to build.and we’re successful.
