The property and the surrounding area were great. The house was clean, had comfortable beds and a great yard for our family (grandparents, parents, and grandson) and two dogs. The kitchen included everything we needed to prepare meals and a large kitchen island. The yard was a great place for our family (fire pit, chairs, hammocks, lighting, and cornhole). There are neighbors on one side (back) of the house, the yard was large enough that we had plenty of privacy. There was plenty of room for the dogs to run. We have stayed in quite a few VRBOs (30 at least) since we retired a few years ago. This was the best VRBO we have stayed in when it comes to dog-friendliness, especially when you include the dog friendliness of Asheville and the surrounding area. I especially appreciated that they provided sheets to put on the couch for the dog. There was plenty of hiking, restaurants, breweries, and stores that were beyond dog friendly.
It was nice to have a separate upstairs area (would have even better when our children were younger since the upstairs television was set up for gaming.
Location was great for us. There were a couple of grocery stores and a brewery were within a 5-10 minute drive. There were also restaurants in Fairview but we only went to restaurants in Asheville (easy to find dog and vegan friendly restaurants there).
Josh was very easy to communicate with. He provided timely information and responded quickly to a couple of texts that I sent.
