Beautiful property, amazing house
This is probably the nicest rental property I’ve ever stayed in. The views were amazing, every room is spacious and has a bathroom. Highly recommend this place. Be aware that the house is at the top of a mountain on an unpaved road, so make sure you have a vehicle that can handle that. Simms and Hunter were both great and Hunter gave us a ride to and from downtown Asheville.

Family reunion
I have eight siblings and their spouses. We used this Vrbo for our family reunion. This moose lodge was wonderful! Each of my siblings had their own bedroom and bathroom, which was very nice. The common areas were super! We had a wonderful time! The views, and the shuttle to various venues we wanted to go to was an added plus. I highly recommend this place.

We hosted a family reunion here - 20 of us from all over the world. The lodge was well appointed and set up for a group of our size. Gorgeous views, great location, well equipped and responsive owner. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, plus multiple dishwashers and refrigerators. Would stay here again - highly recommend!

Fantastic property in a great location.
The property is just as advertised. Beautiful and spacious with great views. Kitchen is well stocked and the ping pong table was well used. We even saw two bears passing through. Highly recommend the van service (the last mile is no fun in the dark) driver was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable you can just text the number and they will get immediately contact you.

Awesome Wayward Moose week
The property consists of the main house ( 4 bedrooms) and the guest house right adjacent with 4 large bedrooms. Each bedroom has a full bathroom en suite. The master suite on the first floor of the main house is huge with a huge bathroom and very large closet( as large as a single dormitory room). The houses are gorgeous with large decks with rocking chairs. The only common rooms ( kitchen, dining, lounges) are in the main house. These rooms are very well appointed and easily allowed our party of 11 to spread out in comfort. The view of the mountains magnificent. Though a mile ride up the mountain, you are close to stores, eateries and not far from downtown. The hewn log cabin interior provided the perfect ambiance. The kitchen has all you need to store and prepare tasty treats. Even has a separate ice maker, double oven, large cook top, a large refrigerator and a smaller refrigerator, 2 dishwashers, modern.washer and dryer. You will love this house. The only thing is the staircase to get into the main house could be a challenge for someone with bad knees or hips. The host is very nice and accessible. We did not have to call him as we expérienced no problems. people have commented on the drive up the mountain. I was concerned about it too. Though a little steep in a few places and had a couple of sharp turns, it is not bad at all ,especially after doing it once. we all had suv style vehicles and were glad we did. arrive before dark first time. Highly recommend

Mountain Escape
Every summer our family does a family vacation. We need space and bedrooms to accommodate all 17 of us. This year we chose Asheville and this particular cabin. Some of us loved being at the top of the mountain on the gravel road others would have preferred not having the very short drive back and forth. The cabin was spacious and met our needs. We especially enjoyed the high quality appliances and made use of them daily as we chose to cook most meals rather than eating out. The kitchen is well stocked. The master bedroom in the main house is BIG and the bed was comfortable. The children enjoyed ping pong and catching fire flies and smores on the fire pit. On a couple of concerns to mention. There are a few loose boards on the decks with nails or screws being a hazard. We had some bees in the guest house that we bombed while we were there. Road is very dusty.,,,I promise you will need a car wash or two when you leave. Overall not enough to keep us from enjoying our trip or considering not renting again. The bear sightings and deer was a bonus as well as the wrap around deck. Views of mountains are spectacular! Great vacation for our family

Awesome Get Together Week
We were a group of old high school friends celebrating our 70th birthday together. Staying at this VRBO was more than we could have hoped for! Everyone had their own private room and bathroom, and yet we were together. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with two dishwashers two refrigerators and an awesome gas stove. Both homes were very clean and tidy, The beds were comfortable. The view from the front porch was absolutely stunning. If there is ever a need for a large group of us to get together again, we would certainly consider Staying here again.

Mountaintop Getaway
We could have spent all our time on the porch enjoying the unobstructed stunning view of the mountains, but with the services of the van at our disposal we felt compelled to do some exploring. Our hosts were great at suggesting activities and restaurants, which was much appreciated. The lodge was perfect for our group of friends, and had everything we could need or want. The trip up and down the mountain kept us on our toes, but is well worth it!

Perfect Place for Family & Friends to Gather
The Wayward Moose Lodge is a fantastic property that is perfect for family reunions, friend get-togethers, or other events. Our daughter got married in Asheville and we wanted a place where the family and some friends could stay and be together, but also the place where those who weren't staying with us could gather and visit before and after the wedding. This was perfect. The main home is spacious with plenty of room for the 20-25 people we had visiting for the rehearsal dinner. We only used 6 of the 8 bedrooms, but those who stayed with us raved about the rooms and the lodge itself. The en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom were a big hit. The kitchen is a dream with a main refrigerator, a drink refrigerator, hot water dispenser, ice machine, two dishwashers, commercial coffee maker, plus all the usual. Utensils, dishes, coffee mugs were all exactly what was needed and plentiful. I don't think we could have had a nicer stay in a better place. The host was very welcoming and helpful during our stay. He was able to provide us some firewood for the fire pit during our stay so the nearlywed couple could enjoy making s'mores with their friends. He was very flexible with us for the shuttle service, which was very helpful. The views from the deck are wonderful and relaxing. The road up the mountain is a little iffy in the rain, but none of our group had any issues with it. We would definitely choose to stay at the Wayward Moose again next time we are in Asheville.

Spacious, well-appointed and comfortable lodge for a big group
Big, modern lodge on the fringe of east Asheville. Eight comfortable bedrooms (4 in the adjacent guest house) with a large common Great Room for 16 friends to meet, converse, play games, or watch football on the satellite TV. Kitchen is very well equipped and clean, two dishwashers, ample oven space, Bunn coffee maker with air pod carafes -- basically everything a big group needs to be comforable. The lodge is a 5-minute walk to the Mountains to Sea Trail adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway, but only 5-10 minutes to drive to the grocery store and 5-10 more to the middle of Asheville. Even though we were toasty warm in 30 degree weather, the south facing deck was inviting with its rocking chairs and views of the Riceville Valley and south mountains. The single track road to get up the mountain is well maintained and there are numerous pulloffs -- the two Priuses in our group made it wthout issues. Simms was a terriific host, always available to us by text, even on the holiday. No surprise this place is heavily booked.

Family birthday and Christmas gathering
Beautiful setting, very spacious lodge with plenty of privacy and room to congregate. The gravel road up the mountain is pretty long, but once you've made it up the hill it's worth it. The two buildings are next to the Mountains to Sea Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the proximity to Asheville was good. We didn't opt for the transportation that is available, but that is a unique option you don't see often. This property worked out very well for our family.

Ladies Vibe Tribe Getaway
We were a group of 10 women gathering for a friends getaway. The Inn was comfortable, spacious, private and easily accomodated our entire party. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the ping pong table was an added bonus. The beds were very comfortable. Also, the roundtrip transportation offered, for a fee, gave us peace of mind after dark, as the Inn is situated high up a mountainside - plus, we could indulge in a beverage or two; giving a shoutout to Audrey, our driver! The property manager was easily accessible and quickly responded to all inquiries. We would recommend a stay here and look forward to returning on our next trip to Asheville.

We celebrated Thanksgiving 2023 here. The e worked well with 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers, and a lot of counter space. The trash system was set up well. All good for a big group!! We enjoyed the nearby hiking trails. The owner was quick to answer questions. He seems to be a nice person who wants his guests to enjoy the property.

Multi generational thanksgiving!
We chose Asheville as a meeting point between family in Atlanta and family in Pennsylvania, and it’s a beautiful city! The house served us really well (11 adults and 6 kiddos) and everyone had room to spread out or hang out together. The kitchen is very well appointed, which was wonderful because we made a huge thanksgiving dinner! We highly recommend this property! And the owner was very responsive when we had a couple of questions. Two thumbs up!!

Reunion
We are a group of high school friends that have been traveling together once a year for years. (We graduated in 1965!) We’ve been all over the country, staying in all kinds of hotels and houses. This was perfect now at our ages, because we each got our own bedroom and bathroom! The house was beautiful and the views fantastic! The road up to the house was a little scary at first but manageable. We toured beautiful Asheville during the day and ate in each evening. The kitchen had all we needed. We all would definitely recommend this house for families or big groups of friends!

Great for a family reunion!
The drive up to the house is what I would expect here in the mountains. An adventure at first. We all loved the lodge. It had ample room for my extended family of 20+: room to gather, room to eat, room to find a space to be alone. Having 8 bedrooms, each with a nice bathroom was really a game changer and very much appreciated by my adult relatives. The kitchen is well-stocked and everything would have been perfect if the built-in fridge had been working. We needed instructions for the Bunn coffeemaker, but we eventually figured it out. The deck was a wonderful place to enjoy the mountain views.
