When we arrived at 5pm, the temperature in the house was 50degrees. It took until 8pm to reach 60 which was really too cold to be comfortable. The ceiling fan did not work and had to keep warm by the fireplace. Called the emergency # but they were not at all helpful.
Next morning at 4AM discovered there was no electricity or water (not your fault). Called the fire department to find out what was happening and was told the address we gave them was not in their area.......really had a run around until 9am when we call Greybeard Realty and was told that is was a power line down and would be fixed by noon......house was really cold. Believe if fan was working, it would have helped.
The house was very satisfactory and we liked it...except for the heat.
Beautiful view and great walking trails.

This was the second year in a row we've leased through Greybeard. Excellent service, and high degree of professionalism. The home is very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the outdoor fireplace, the spectacular views, and the hiking trails. Creston's location could not be better: tucked away in a natural setting, yet, minutes to Black mountain and Ashville.
Our favorite things are the location, the house and it's incredible setting. We do feel the home was not as clean as it could have been, (lots of bugs, dust, and we had a problem with wasps getting in upstairs, (killed 7 the first hour of our stay. The home we rented last year was very clean though. The only other concern was, even though it's a gated community,the gate was always open. Only once in 9 days (last year and this year), was the gate closed when we entered, or left.
We will continue to recommend Greybeard to our friends, (our friends, the Heims are actually staying in Bear Hollow this December). Thanks again for an overall wonderful experience. See you next year! More...

This is a beautiful cabin in the mountains - well-equipped kitchen with lots of extras like novels, movies and games. The place is very pet-friendly with gates on the porch and each floor of the house. The cabin is very secluded in a gated community under development. I can highly recommend, especially for anyone with pets. Greybeard was great to deal with, accomodating and professional.

I stayed here two nights in late August, with my parents and in-laws. What a wonderful and comfortable place! The owners have gone out of their way to make visitors feel at home, right down to the complimentary loaf of pumpkin bread that awaited us on arrival. The layout of the house is perfect for a family, as each bedroom is on a different level. The wraparound porch with comfy rocking chairs was great for outdoor relaxing, and the kitchen was perfectly stocked for food preparation. I can't thank you enough for allowing us to bring our dog, too. It meant we could truly enjoy the place as a family. Just one cautionary word to future guests - the nearest grocery store is about 6 miles down a windy road. We very much enjoyed this sense of isolation, but it pays to plan ahead, and bring all necessary provisions with you. More...

The service that I received from Greybeard Realty was really great, they were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the home it was relaxing and very peaceful. Don't go up there by yourself it can be lonely but after 2 days a girlfriend joined me and we went on a hike and rafting and horseback riding and it made the visit that much more enjoyable.
The only thing that I didn't like about the home was it had a ton of light switches by the doors and remotes for the TV and DVD player and over half of them didn't work what they were suppose to or what we thought they went to b/c they were labeled incorrectly or just didn't work. You should label them all it would be so much easier to use and not trying to find lighting outside that may not have existed other than the fans on deck.
We enjoyed our visit and will do again in the future! More...
