Our group ranged from ages 10-50 and we all had a great time. The House was very well stocked and no one had a chance to be bored - over a dozen games to play along with a fabulous library to enjoy. Lots of ping pong and billards and eating and relaxing, what could be better ! We will be back .
I can't think of how this stay could have been more perfect! Our family brought my 92 year old mother-in-law down to visit the Biltmore and stayed at Laurel Mountain - perfect place that felt like home as soon as we entered the door. Surrounded by beautiful color from the surrounding trees, the view of the mountains in the distance, the birds that visited the bird feeder on the deck. We loved gathering for breakfast - easily prepared in such a spacious and well equipped kitchen! And we got to renew (well, most of us) our pool shark skills around the pool table in the evening. The place is immaculate and very comfortable.
Hawk's Nest was a huge disappointment!! As soon as we went in it had a horrible musty odor & that odor remained the entire week we were there. I even had to wash the sheets to help with their odor but it only helped a little. The floor air vents were so filthy we feel that is probably where the odor was from. The pots & pans were in bad condition & lids didn't match. There were spices there that expired in 2004 so obviously nobody really goes through things and cleans. We asked if there was a blender since my husband does protein smoothies & I was told yes only to find it was broken and so dirty it was gross!! Thank God we took our own coffee pot as I would not have wanted to use the one there. I wanted to use the jetted tub but dirt came out of it so no way I would get into that. The hand towel holder was broken, bathroom drawer was broken, the blinds were filthy and many didn't work. The hot tub was not appealing at all and it smelled like a couple gallons of bleach were dumped into it. It is NOT a short walk to the fire pit and stream plus it is down a pretty steep hill. No chairs to take down so even to drive down to it you would have to stand around the fire once you made it. We planned and saved for this trip and were so very very disappointed!! The biggest disappointment was when we returned home and I emailed Asheville Connections about our concerns, not once but twice, I never heard a word back, nothing at all! I even sent pictures. That speaks volumes to us when a company will not even acknowledge you and try to make things right. We will not be back to Hawk's Nest or any other property of Asheville Connections. This is the 1st bad review we have ever written so we are not normally complaining people but we had to let others know about Hawk's Nest and Asheville Connections.
The cabin was just as pictured. We basically just had to bring ourselves and our clothing. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, showers had plenty of force, and we had all the conveniences of home: wi-fi, cable, stereo. The hot tube was a bonus. They had experienced a power outage before we arrived, but a quick call to Lucy resolved that problem. She's the best! We loved it and plan on returning for another stay! We wish we could have stayed longer!
We had a wonderful trip. The cabin was quiet, peaceful and so cute, it had everything we needed! Would love to visit again! Thank you!
My mother-in-law is ready to find another reason to visit! Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!
