“Wonderful vacation spot” This is a great place to stay--even in the dead of winter! Well equipped kitchen (I like to prepare my own meals), great views with the sun streaming in the windows, everything in working order as described in the writeup. Nice location in town. Greybeard is great to work with and responsive to any questions or concerns. Highly recommend for your stay in Black Mountain.

“Amazing” Absolutely loved this place. Felt like home in that it was si cozy and inviting, but yet had breathtaking views. we did not want to leave. Driveway was daunting the first time, but after the first time was not a problem. The housekeeper did a great job of leaving the cabin in great condition. Location was great..minutes from grocery store and restaurants. I will definitely stay here again.

“Great place” We enjoyed our stay at Sterling Retreat. Great location with fantastic view and all. Easy to make all the arrangements - great, helpful staff at Greybeard Rentals. Only problem that we had was when the power went out there were no candles to light so we could see what we were doing! There was a flash light, but candles would have been really really handy!! And a sharp axe would have been good too to help cut the fire wood into kindling to make a fire (was getting cold with no power even though it was only out for a short time) Other than that we had a lovely stay in this wonderful location. Had some lovely friendly dogs come and visit us too, this made our visit even more homely!

“Exquisite!!” We cannot even describe how amazing our stay was at Ravenscroft. The location was perfect; the cabin was immaculate; it was as if they knew exactly how we would design and decorate our cabin and had it done just for our visit. My girlfriend and I fell in love with this place. We fell in love with the town and the people. We can't wait to come back and stay longer. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to get away and explore the beauty of Western North Carolina. Thank you! Cheers!

“Great, convenient location” Renee' was very helpful and patience when with me when I was making my reservation in recommending a house in an area that would be easy to get to since we had a lot of planned activity requiring us to be in and out over our long week-end. We arrived on Friday, after the office closed. Our key was there and it was easy to find the house, based on the directions. When we arrived we were please to find a delicious loaf of banana bread, a roll of paper towels and a role of tissue paper to get us started. Also, there was liquid dishwashing detergent, dishwashing detergent for the dishwasher, and laundry detergent/fabric softener sheets. We did find the patio a mess, covered in leaves and grime, only 4 washcloths for 8 people, soiled bedspread in master and trouble getting connected to Wi-Fi and the TV (our son was able to figure it out for us. When we tried the next morning to call the office it did not direct us to an extension so we just left a voicemail. So, that being said, my husband and son cleaned the patio so we could use it to grill out(and we gave out of gas before we completely finished cooking), and washed the bedspread and washed washcloths between showers. We also went out and got a few light bulbs to replace some lamps that were out. When I turned in the keys they were very apologetic about not getting our call until Mon and told me that if I had gone to an extension and left a message, someone was always on call and would have called me back. Recommendation is to provide that in writing on the information renters receive regarding checking in and out, only the number of the office was available. All of that being said, we loved the development, the home was very comfortable for all of us, loved the front porch, especially in the morning when having a cup of coffee and the evening when having a glass of wine. We have a son who lives in the area so will definitely be using Greybeard again! Thanks Greybeard and Renee'

“We had a wonderful stay and would love to go back” I just want to say that we had a wonderful stay. It is a very clean, well decorated, warm, and welcoming home. We felt like staying at our own home. We all loved it. The owners are very thoughtful that the house has everything one can possibly need for a relaxed stay. The view from the front porch was just marvelous. We would like to go back to this lovely house in the future. We were somewhat concerned about the steep driveway before our arrival but actually it wasn't that bad after we parked our car in the middle of the driveway. Thanks so much for your fine service, and the delicious pumpkin bread is also quite delightful.

“Such a lovely home!” I stayed here on a family vacation and everyone was pleased! The company took care of everything- no glitches about keys, or entry, or other small things. The home was so well maintained, very inviting and the views were fabulous. It's close to the golf course, which made my dad very happy. I recommend this rental to anyone wanting a relaxing stay at Black Mountain, where all your needs will be met.

“Enjoyed our stay!” Greybeard rentals were very friendly nd efficient.

“Total Relaxation” My family stayed at Plum View for an extended weekend during the peak fall season. The views outside of the house were spectacular. We were conveniently located for quick day trips. The house was equipped with anything you would need for a wonderful weekend. Helpful hints and take-out menus were also available at the house. The owners thought of everything.

“Cozy, wooded retreat close to asheville, hiking, dining, etc.” Our extended family spent Christmas together at the Byrd's Nest. The best features of this property were the wonderful outside spaces: the fire pit, gas logs on the deck, multiple swings, lots of outdoor seating and the hot tub. They created perfect accomodation for visiting with family and relaxing, even in the cooler weather. The location its great...just minutes from the downtown area of Black Mountain and a short drive from asheville. During our stay we ventured out to asheville and downtown Black Mountain twice. The road to the cabin is unpaved, but not overly rough, steep or narrow. Though the signage into the subdivision is poor, so I'd suggest the initial drive up be indaylight. Inside the cabin, the gathering areas are again perfect for board games, conversation, etc. Though do be aware the 2nd floor den is open to the first floor den immediately below it. This can be distracting if both areas are watching television or gaming at the same time. Also, be aware the televisions are older and are not compatible with newer gaming systems. The kitchen has a lot of stuff! But I felt it lacked some essentials like a working coffee maker and a rolling pin. The only negative aspect of the home was the moldy shower curtain in the master bathroom and the overall dustiness in the nooks and crannies. Overall this home provided a charming backdrop to our holiday vacation!

“Beautiful View!” If you are looking for a great mountain view near the quaint town of a Black Mountain you will like this one. It has two living areas, each with a fireplace. It is also handicap friendly. The upstairs fireplace was not working properly. This was my only gripe. The kitchen was great for cooking our chef inspired New Orleans cuisine. The rooms are a nice size and comfortable.

“Cozy and private” Nearly Eden is very convenient to Black Mountain and asheville, yet tucked away at the end of a lane, which gives it a lot of privacy. The deck and the front porch were great for enjoying the views (of a hillside and the forest behind) --- I know this would be nice if the weather was good for hanging out outside. Very nice cabin. Perfect for 2 people. Could handle a few more, but with one bathroom, may be a little right.

“Wonderful Easter trip” Panther Cat Perch was a wonderful place to stay. Convenient to all the many activitieas around asheville.
