Description

You will love this relaxing location! Amazing Grace sits on 5 beautiful acres with Mackey Creek running through the entire property. Unwind to the soothing sounds of the rushing creek from any of the incredible outdoor spaces.

Kick back next to the outdoor fire pit in one of the rustic Adirondack chairs, and listen to the peaceful sounds of water running over the small private waterfall. Enjoy a picnic next to the creek or host a meal while sitting on the large screened in porch, also with a view of the creek. Ring the dinner bell from the porch to call in those splashing around in the creek or those playing games of Croquet, Corn Hole, Horseshoes, or Bocce Ball (all games furnished) out on the expansive and open yard.

Heart Pine wood floors throughout, a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and a beautiful large stone wood-burning fireplace. Just in case, there is a 65”, 4K Smart TV with HD cable and Apple TV available, for those sporting events that you don’t want to miss while on vacation. You can also connect your music to the Bose stereo speaker via Bluetooth. Bonus- every room on the back side of the house has a wonderful view of the creek, including the master bedroom.

Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Amazing Grace is perfectly situated for you to explore most of Western North Carolina's most beautiful attractions. In Old Fort, you'll want to check out Catawba Falls and Andrews Geyser, a 10-15 minute drive. You're 10 minutes from charming downtown Marion, where you can enjoy locally owned shops and restaurants, along with local craft beers from Mica Town Brewing Company, Refinery 13 Taproom, and Spillway Bridge & Co. Easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway from East Asheville (35 minute drive) or Linville (45 minute drive). Linville Caverns and Linville Falls are a scenic 30 minute drive from the house. The Biltmore Estate, downtown Asheville, and downtown Black Mountain are also within a 35 minute drive.

FAQ

WHERE IS THIS HOUSE LOCATED?

Amazing Grace on Mackey Creek is located in Old Fort. This home is approximately 15 minutes to Marion, 20 minutes to Black Mountain and approximately 35 minutes to Asheville. Click on the location tab above to locate this house on a map.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY?

If you need to cancel your reservation and the property you had reserved re-rents for the time which you had it reserved, you will be refunded all money you had paid minus an $89 cancellation fee. If you cancel and the property does not re-rent for your reserved dates, you will lose all money you have paid to that point. For this reason, we recommend that you purchase trip insurance. Please call 888-228-8008 before making a reservation if you have questions or concerns.

WHAT IS YOUR PET POLICY AND FEE?

Amazing Grace is not “pet friendly”. Please be respectful of those owners who, because of allergies or other personal reasons, have chosen not to allow any pets. If housekeeping notes that a pet was present on a non-pet friendly property during your visit, you will be charged a minimum of $600 to clean carpets, upholstered furniture and complete air purification measures. Bringing a pet to a house that is not pet-friendly without owner consent or permission from Greybeard is grounds for termination of the rental agreement without refund. If you must travel with your pet, please contact us for local boarding recommendations. More info about service animals and the ADA is available here.

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.

WHERE DO WE CHECK-IN/PICK UP KEYS

Amazing Grace has a keyless entry system. You will receive a unique access code within 3 days of your arrival, allowing you to go straight to the house and check-in starting at 4pm.

WHAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY DURING OUR STAY?

If you are having a medical emergency, dial 911 from the phone in your rental home or cell phone.

We hope that your stay in the area will be relaxing and without incident, but should you need to get in touch with Greybeard, we have someone on call 24 hours a day. Just call our office at 828-669-1072 and dial extension 203, 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.

WILL THERE BE FIREWOOD AT THE HOUSE? 

Firewood is not supplied by Greybeard. Some houses will have a small supply of firewood for renter use; however, it is best to purchase your own small bundle of wood or Duraflame pressed logs at the local grocery store.

Cutting branches, limbs or trees on the property is strictly prohibited. You can use limbs found on the ground. Absolutely NO fires are permitted outside unless the property is fitted with a fire ring/fire pit. You cannot bring your own portable fire pit. 

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

Wifi is available at Amazing Grace. 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.

We so enjoyed our time at Amazing Grace. The amenities were top rate; with the covered porch and the lovely stream with waterfall; we did not need to seek out any other location. Other than a trip to a nearby grocery store we happily stayed on the property the entire week.

Amazing Time!

The house was immaculate, even better than expected which was nice. The stream out back with the fire pit was beautiful and we made good use of it! The house was close enough to everything. We had a wonderful time and intend to go back as soon as possible.

We absolutely loved the home, especially the yard and creek with the waterfall and swimming hole. It was extremely clean and well cared for. Everything I could possibly need was included and everything was in "like new" condition. I HIGHLY recommend Amazing Grace! You definitely won't be disappointed!
