Horse Shoe Vacation Packages

Our experience was much less then great, the check in at this property is insane you have to go to two different places using only a few word type out and a crud map. God forbid you won’t be there before 5 pm because now you really are on your own. If you are lucky enough to make it through the maze of dead ends twists and turns to get your room keys now you much go get another card to keep track of. This is the amenities pass that costs $6.50 a person. Even if you arrive at 8 pm (everything is closed at that time) you still have to pay for that day, kinda crazy but oh well. Now that you have the pass you can go the the dirty lake of goo and grime to fight your way through 6 inch deep mud to splash around a little, if you would prefer something a little cleaner you can go to the pool, this was nice, they say they put out towels each hour. This is untrue but oh well. I hope you aren’t hungry, because the concession stand is going to have you wait 20 minutes for a cold hotdog and some stale nachos the slushies are good tho, once all that is said and done you can struggle to decode the pointlessly complicated way they have the townhouses numbered and enter your rental. The kitchen is….ok. The pans are very small and most of them were dirty, the place I stayed was very dated. Under the beds we found trash like water bottles and candy from before just dust and dirt over. And BUGS dead ones alive ones and beetles and ROACHES some alive some dead.

Wonderful stay! Loved everything.

Perfect stay for my sister and I! Downtown close to everything. Hotel had wonderful service and atmosphere! Small and quaint! Bed was very comfortable!! Having a small kitchen and washer and dryer were very helpful! The bottled water, coffee and snacks were unexpected delights!!

The house was cute, well appointed and just right for our small group of women. Contrary to the advertisement, the property is not walking distance to any food, and is 6 miles from Biltmore Village (there are some restaurants about 3 miles away). I think it's more than 10 minutes to Downtown Asheville as well. After booking and receiving the actual address, I tried to contact Avantstay and it took several days and several attempts to get a response. Once at the property, the local team was responsive (the outdoor firepit did not work). The house had nice features, ample supplies of towels and necessities, and the beds were super comfortable. The living room TV was large, and there were many comfortable places to sit (no DVD, but many streaming options with my passwords). Overall, it was a terrific place to stay.

Overall it’s just ok. Instructions are a bit iffy. Like taking the trash out gave special instruction but I checked out on Sunday and it said not to put the trash inside the container until the morning it is picked up which is Monday??? Says to bring it to an offsite place if not on a pick up day but it’s closed on Sunday??? Like I said it was OK the place was clean just really dated and there was a lot of outside noise that can be heard. The price was good so I would stay again. I will say the people at check in and out were just ok as well. They were not mean or rude but they were also not very happy or smiling. Also bringing the keys back there at checkout is very annoying. Should be able to leave them in the room

The most charming and elegant gem in the mountains. The cabin felt like a second home, beautifully decorated and it didn't feel like it wasn't ours, it felt like we had to take care of it as though it was our own. Alex, the Inn Keeper, must be the world expert on the property, which has been there since 1885. He is not just the owner, or the Inn Keeper, he is a steward of the land, and the caretaker of its history and legacy. Joe, a man of many talents, from maintenance, guess relations, tending to the chickens, to cooking the most mouth watering breakfast you've ever had, is truly one of the best humans I've ever met. From the stay, the food, the views, and the stories around the campfire. Engadine is a treasure.
