Great place for a relaxing getaway

This is the place to be if you want to get away from the hubbub of the city and relax in a remote bucolic setting. The house was comfortable for our group of three older couples, except for the stairs. Oddly, the kitchen, dining area, and primary bedroom suite are on the second floor, and the two other bedrooms are on the first and third floors, so there's no avoiding stairs. If you are going to events in Asheville as we were, you have to plan extra time since it's a 25 - 30 minute drive from the house.

I'm officially a mountains girl

Hamersmith Hollow is a little piece of paradise! So quiet, so peaceful - a true escape. And also very convenient to all sorts of places and activities. I was so content to sit on the porch with my morning coffee and listen to the bullfrog symphonies. And then there's the amazing and responsive rental company, Pure Carolina. I have NEVER had a better rental experience. Their directions to the house are clear, their instructions for accessing the property are fail-proof... Every little detail is addressed. We will be staying here again, without a doubt.

Beautiful property in an amazing private setting! Spent a lot of time on the porch balcony overlooking the small pond after busy days exploring Asheville and Black Mountain. Property management very responsive . We all enjoyed our stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd time at this property. Super private, but only 20 minutes to Weaverville. Plenty of room, clean, very relaxing secluded location. We will be back.

It’s a beautiful and spacious house. A little outdated and lots of clutter.

Kitchen small for such a big house. Very tranquil and relaxing. We enjoyed the second floor terrace. The address not found on google. We had an anniversary and my daughter was not able to send us flowers All in all a good and comfortable place to vacation with friends and family. The phone reception not very good depending on your carrier

Perfect private getaway

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is one of the best VRBOs I've even stayed at. Totally private. Bullfrogs, geese, deer by the pond. Home nice and spacious. Me and my wife stayed for 3 nights and we loved it.

Quaint country home

We had a wonderful time at the Hammersmith home. We ran into a few issues at check-in, but the property manager was very responsive and addressed everything immediately. Our family and friends had a great time enjoying the view from the front porch and the surrounding areas. We hope to be back to Asheville and the area again!

Beautiful Mountain Escape Close to Ashville

This beautiful family home was full of memories. We can only imagine the many happy memories shared by the two generations that enjoyed family time here. The décor testifies to the good times that were experience here by this family and we felt as if we were sharing those times while we on the porch listening to the bull frogs in the pond below. The kitchen was large but the dining area was little cramped. The main room downstairs was great for watching TV. The bedrooms were adequate for us but short on closet and luggage space. The property could use a facelift but that may be hard to do and maintain the historical nostalgia that is so much a part of this home. Our best time here was sitting on the large porch during a rain shower.

Very therapeutic!

The property was just as advertised. It's truly a beautiful and very relaxing setting. The porch, table, kitchen and bed/bath set-up worked perfectly for the six of us. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We all mentioned that we'd miss it after we left.

Scenic setting

Bucolic view of the hillside. Enjoyed the porches and floating in the kayak on the pond.
