vacation rental description

Enjoy spectacular, long range views in this updated and newly
decorated mountain home. Adorned with American Chestnut paneling and
soaring cathedral ceilings, you can relax in a wicker rocker in
front of one of the two stone fireplaces or enjoy cool mountain
breezes from one of the two decks . This charming retreat is
bordered by pink and white rhododendron bushes and set in lush,
wooded seclusion. Casual elegance with touches of "cabin" describes
the lovingly chosen decor.

Only ten minutes to downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate and Blue Ridge Parkway, Rhododendron Cabin is across the lane from a twenty three acre nature preserve. Hiking trails, streams and gorgeous views are waiting for you to explore. You will get away from it all with ever changing views and huge trees, yet be close to all that Asheville has to offer. The cabin is crowned by a
deck with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Please note that Rhododendron Cabin is non-smoking.

Rhododendron Cottage

BETTE (Texas)
Review submitted: May 29, 2007   Date of arrival: May 1, 2007

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at RC. It was like staying in a cozy gallery. Loved the views and the location. We felt we were away from the crowds, but only a few minutes to great places to eat and attractions. It was our first visit to Asheville. When we go again we would plan on staying at RC!

One BAD vaction rental!

Review submitted: October 27, 2011   Date of arrival: September 23, 2011

My husband and I were looking forward to this relaxing retreat. We booked months in advance. Just a week before our stay, we were notified that the owner has put this home up for sale, so we would have to endure agents showing the place during our month stay. We reluctantly agreed with a $50 refund for each showing, since our options for finding another place was impossible in October. Our first night, we had to smell mildew from the wet carpet and listen to a leaking roof in the master bedroom. The property management team did respond immediately to our complaints, but we had to endure several roofing contractors and realtor agents during our NOT so relaxing month long retreat. We had to leave a few days early because the roof began to leak again! We wish the owner luck in selling her home.

Owners response: Unfortunately, there was a problem with a leak in the roof that occurred during this guests' stay. As the guest himself states, we addressed the problem immediately when he notified us. In order to address this problem properly, we did obtain estimates from 3 roofers within a week. We took immediate precautions to avoid leaks by placing a tarp over this section of the roof while the estimates were obtained. We had a cleaning company come out within hours and had the carpet cleaned. The leak itself was fixed within a day. Two days after the guests checked out early they called us saying they had some additional water that came in. When our site manager went out to assess the situation, she discovered that the bucket they put under the leak had a very miniscule amount of rain water in it. We immediately called the roofer back out and had him fix this remaining problem. This only took a matter of a few hours from the time we were notified til the time the problem was fixed. The guests still had 4 days remaining on his reservation and could have enjoyed the rest of his stay if he would have given us just a few hours for this minor repair. However, in view of the fact that he had experienced the leaking problem before, we did go ahead and refund the remainder of his stay. I had also not charged him for two nights that he had checked in early since he had the leak. We felt that we did everything within our power to make this situation right for the guest as we would for any of our guests. As all homeowners are aware, sometimes there are unforeseen problems that occur and must be addressed right away. We had to address this problem for this guest as well as for all future guests and are sorry that it had to happen during his stay.

It was almost 3 weeks (rather than 1 week as he states) prior to his arrival when the owner listed the house for sale and I notified the guests immediately. Upfront we offered him a $50 rebate if the house was shown during his stay. We offer this to ALL our guests. We also worked with him to limit the number of showings during his stay. The house was acutally only shown 2 times total during his month stay and he was compensated for those showings as agreed upon. Those showings incurred in one week and there were no showings for the remainder of his stay.

We've had MANY satisfied guests over the last 5 years and will do everything within our power to make sure your stay is a pleasant one!!

Great location for 3 generations

mtp500 (Raleigh, NC, USA)
Review submitted: June 8, 2011   Date of arrival: June 1, 2011

Great location up in the hills in southern part of Asheville, really only 15 minutes from Biltmore House and downtown restaurants and night life. Quiet...you don't even see neighboring houses. Loved the crow's nest deck which offered great sunset view. But pack mosquito repellent for decks and all outside hiking, etc. Nature preserve across the street offered nice hike and pretty view of lake, also great picnic facilities. House has huge master bedroom with fireplace. Decor is very artsy and mountain craft-y. Loved it. Kitchen is well-stocked with plenty of dishes and tableware, so don't have to run dishwasher every meal, even with 6 adults and toddler. 3rd br with bunk beds is very small, but great closet space in all bedrooms and well set up for travelers. Absolutely loved the screen porch, on which we ate all breakfasts and dinners (just have dinner after 7 PM, so will be cool enough as sun sets, plus great view then anyway. Easy to get up the mountain curvy roads to the house and plenty of parking, including 2-car garage. Home locking system worked great, so didn't have to pass around keys to the whole family, but we could all go and come as needed. Harris Teeter and Ingles within 10 minutes of house. 12 Bones is great rib and pulled pork restaurant within 5 minutes--just get your take-out before 6 and eat whenever you want! Easy to get to Biltmore, which we totally enjoyed--cheapest to go Monday thru Thursday and beat the crowds, too. Great picnic area beside Mallard Lake. They don't advertise it, but you don't have to eat at their really expensive restaurants. Great waterfalls near Brevard off Hwy 64 within 40 minutes of house. Highly recommend Triple Falls, but it is a steep hike--gorgeous beside stream and under shady trees the whole hike. We did it with a stroller and sleeping baby part of the way. House really has all the comforts of home, including great books on the area and notebook of nearby restaurants and their menus. Go, relax and enjoy! Will definitely stay again if in the area.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway
