Girl's Weekend

Our stay at this lovely home was fantastic! We all are friends from 30 years in banking. Some of us, unfortunately, are still working. We love to enter a home, have space for all of us & just enjoy each others company and this house allowed us to do all of that! We rarely leave the house & cook all our meals at the house; the kitchen & dining area were perfect for this! We enjoyed every moment & hope to return soon! Thank you Rabbino family for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home. Not to mention Peter, how helpful you were to make our weekend amazing!working.

Fun Family Time in Flat Rock

Peter's spacious and beautiful mountain home was a perfect space for gathering together with our adult children and young grandchildren! From peaceful mornings with coffee on the screened porch to cozy family dinners around the table to plenty of room for games and chasing toddlers, we enjoyed a wonderful getaway. It also worked really well for hosting a small family gathering to celebrate our son and future daughter-in-law's engagement. So convenient to restaurants and stores in Flat Rock. We hope to return another time in the future!

Perfect mountain spot

House was perfect for our family! Plenty of space, kitchen is well equipped and fire pit was a hit! Our kids loved making smores and sitting outside by the fire. Peter answered all of our questions and the check in/out process was extremely easy. Rooms are spacious and couch was very comfortable! Looking forward to coming back!

Cranksgiving Getaway

Our MTB race team used this home as our base of operations for a race weekend at Ride Rock Creek. It sits only 15 minutes from the venue. It has plenty of space inside to comfortable fit large groups and lots of outdoor space for enjoying the seasons. Happy to see a well equipped kitchen for meal prep. I’d highly recommend looking at this place if you need to stay in the area. I’ll definitely be checking back

family trip

We lucked out with fabulous weather and the views from this house with the fall leaves were breathtaking. The house had everything we could want, plenty of amenities. Lots of room, would be a great place for group with kids. We loved the fire pit. But bring a head lamp, walking to the firepit at night was challenging.

Family Reunion

Property is generally excellent. It accommodated 10 adults well. Communication with owner was good. When we had a minor problem, the owner responded quickly and together he and I were able to resolve the problem without the inconvenience of having an outside repairperson having to come out. Overall, we were pleased with the property and would consider returning for another long weekend family reunion.

Great mountain getaway

We went for the apple festival in Hendersonville so the area was pretty busy. Loved the house with plenty of room to spread out as well as hang out together in the den and dining room. Kids loved the tree house. Definitely try gem mining and apple picking nearby.

Wonderful Family Retreat

We enjoyed this house so much! There was room for everyone to eat together and hang out in the living areas, and also room enough for everyone to have privacy at bedtime. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and we loved using the fire pit at night. Terrific location — easy trip to Flat Rock and Hendersonville. We hope to stay here again!
