I gave a 3 based upon the following; 1. Downstairs bedrooms smelled like sewage when we entered and got slightly better but still smelled when leaving 2. Other cottages smelled as well, like BO mixed with a plug in air freshener 3. Not enough utensils for accommodations 4. Exterior lighting along rear pathway to cottages had bulbs burnt out5. Rear hanging lights had bulbs that were out 6. No firewood provided for exterior fire pits

Fantastic for a Large Group
This property is fantastic for a group of multiple families. Everyone was able to have their own private space while having a fantastic shared space for meals. The kitchen was well stocked (although we did occasionally need to pull items from other kitchens on property). The property is beautiful with ample parking and close to Hendersonville. Roads are windy but well paved, so we did not have any concerns for the 2WD vehicles.

Unexpected joy!!!!!
The place looked great online. The reality exceeded our expectations. Our children and grandchildren enjoyed the creek and trails. The adults loved the fire pit. Beautiful and a wonderful retreat center for a group to get away.

Peaceful
The house and outbuildings are well stocked with everything you may need. The houses and property were clean and in good working order, except for the upstairs oven which had a broken handle. It did not keep us from using it though. The garage apartment had a musty odor the first several hours. Beds were comfortable and area was quiet. Overall, we were well pleased with the property and enjoyed ourselves.

Room for everyone
Very spacious accommodations. Property was not as clean as expected, we ended up washing sheets so we could sleep there. Vacasa is not a reliable property management company for communication. Our AC didn't work in 3 of the units, had to call repeatedly to get information about the resolution.
