Property was as advertised- very beautiful & clean. Amenities were great. We had one small issue that the local team took care of quickly. Close to local restaurants and activities. I would stay again.

We had an amazing time and loved this property. Being an avid traveler, camper and tourist but not a "vacation home renter" I read a lot of the reviews about this property. I would like to share that the basement area, which houses 3 bedrooms and the game/family room is wonderful. There is an atrium window that brings in natural light, the area does NOT have a musty/mildew smell. We spent a majority of our time here playing pool and games at the game table. The fireplace in this area didn't work but it was plenty warm. There is a piano here we could have done without. We had a grew of children and it was hard to keep them off it. The room are all comfy and very nice. We had the little suit over the garage. What a great get away with its own fireplace and sitting area. It is comfy cozy for sure. People did complain about the towel situation. Each bathroom had at least 2 sets of towels (bath, hand & wash cloth), I did not find any extra. We stayed 4 nights, so it was fine but a longer trip of more people more towels would be needed. There is a hot tub, which was used a lot, there are no outdoor towels, I did plan ahead and brought some. There are actually 2 kitchens though the one downstairs isn't set up for cooking. The main kitchen is a wonderful space for family gathering. I did recommend to the property that that add a large skillet, had I known there were only 2 8-9" pans I would have brought my own. You can't make scrambled eggs for 11 in one of those. There was no coffee of tea, but I had also planned for that. There must be over 50 light switches, it became a fun game trying to figure out what went to what. I recommended some instructions to the home, with all the fireplaces, TV's etc. it was a learning curve. We believe there is a sound system connected to the stereo in the basement but never figured out either. All that said, we would go back in a heartbeat! I bet Spring and Fall views from her are spectacular. This place is a must from me, just plan on what you want or need and bring it. Hope this helps, enjoy your stay!

This beautiful mountain escape is PERFECT for large family gatherings or a group of friends! Home is immaculate, well maintained, and has everything you need. Conveniently located near enough to Western Carolina University, and other area attractions. The property is gorgeous, and the mountain views from the back patio are spectacular! Absolutely loved our stay here, we will be back!
