✨Read the rest of this 10/10 Excellent review from our lovely guest, Kraig! 👇🏼
"...Starting with the size, it is perfect for one or two couples trying to get away for a quiet weekend. There is plenty of space and it’s laid out in such a way that it feels bigger than it is. The vibe is definitely European cottage, and the way they repurposed much of the furnishings is not only admirable, but everything is incredibly functional as well. The attention to detail is outstanding, including the dimmable sconces and recessed lighting, the soft-close drawers and cabinets, and labeling the important switches throughout. They definitely learned from the best examples on the market how to create a rental space to remember. The beds are pretty comfortable, the kitchen is large and well-stocked, and the internet, while slower because it’s satellite, is good enough to check email and browse a bit. I wouldn’t try to stream video. Mobile signals are almost nonexistent as well, at least AT&T, but you’re on vacation so the slower wifi and mobile dead zone is a blessing to be honest. Apeldoorn is only 30 minutes from Asheville so it makes for a perfect oasis to come back to after visiting the busy and crowded tourist areas. From the beautiful house and landscaping, the large and relaxing outdoor spaces, and the soothing stream down the hill, what’s not to love? I have stayed in nearly 50 rentals over the years - from the middle of nowhere tiny homes in the Arizona desert, to entire eight bedroom villas on the Mediterranean, so when I booked Apeldoorn for my wife and I to stay in during her birthday weekend, my expectations were tempered. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to the point where I can enthusiastically say this property is now in my top 10 stays in the southeast. I can’t wait to come back. I just hope future guests continue to treat this hidden gem with the respect it deserves."
Thank you Kraig for your wonderful feedback and for being our guest!
