Very nice 3BR townhouse. I love staying in Village of Cheshire. Beautiful property well developed. This rental has everything. Just bring your toothbrush! Perfect location for exploring the area from Mt. Mitchell to Lake Lure to Brevard.

The “Best of Times” home rental was one of the most refreshing rentals we’ve had in a very long time! We rented some good ones but this one takes it over the top. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood where the only noise was being woke up by pretty song birds. The home is very clean and inviting. We would stay here again!

Manager's Response

Philip, how wonderful to hear that you had the “Best of Times” at this special vacation rental! We're also thrilled to know that the home was clean and inviting upon your arrival. We can't thank you enough for your thoughtful review, and we're excited to help you plan your return visit!

It truly is “The BEST of Times!”

What a FABULOUS 4 nights/5 days at this amazing location! Our hubbies stayed home while the 3 of us high school BFF’s explored Cheshire Village, Asheville, Catawba Falls, Black Mountain, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and the Biltmore Estate. Best of Times was the PERFECT place to sleep, take in the views, cook breakfast, meet wonderful year-round residents (whose hospitality was incredibly kind), and just “chill” after our daily hikes/exploration. We HIGHLY recommend and are already planning a return trip (with all our husbands in tow next time)! Hands down 5 stars!

Manager's Response

Tracy, we're so happy that Best of Times lived up to its name! It sounds like you and your friends had a fun and memorable stay exploring everything Western North Carolina has to offer. We can't thank you enough for your kind review and for recommending this home to fellow travelers, and we're excited for your return!

After having enjoyed our first trip to Best of Times last year so much, my family decided to visit again this year for Fall Break. This year, we had yet another great experience. The townhouse was clean, is close in proximity to amenities and downtown Black Mountain, and is in a beautiful area. The views from upstairs are gorgeous. We enjoyed walking the sidewalks and trails throughout the beautiful neighborhood during our stay. We would definitely suggest this property to any looking to have a great stay in the Black Mountain area.

Manager's Response

Thank you for the amazing feedback. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Best of Times so much last time that you returned and had another great stay!

WHAT IS YOUR PET POLICY AND FEE?

WHAT ARE CHECK-IN/CHECK OUT TIMES?

Check-in time is 4pm and check out time is 10am. It is important that we adhere to these times, because there is a chance that someone else will be checking out/in before or after you and we need sufficient time to ready the house for the next renter. If you wish to check-in early, there is a $50 early check-in fee that can be added on to your reservation. Early check-in is only available if someone is not checking out on the morning of your arrival.

Just call our office at 828-669-1072 and select option 1, which will forward to the cell phone of the person on call. Please do not hesitate to call us if something needs immediate attention, but if your question or concern can wait, we ask that you call the office during normal office hours.

WHEN ARE HOMES WITH GAS LOGS IN OPERATION?

Best of Times has an indoor gas logs fireplace. Gas logs are not in operation May through September due to the warmer summer months.

IS WIFI SERVICE INCLUDED WITH MY RENTAL RESERVATION? WILL I HAVE CELL PHONE SERVICE AT MY RENTAL?

Wifi is available at Best of Times. Please note that Greybeard Rentals does not guarantee internet connectivity or speed. Each individual homeowner contracts directly with an internet service provider, and due to a variety of reasons, Greybeard does not guarantee service. Our Black Mountain and Asheville offices have wifi service available if needed.

Cell phone service is not guaranteed. You may check with your service provider to see if service is available.
