Step inside this grand home and you'll feel right at home!

The flagstone patio might be your favorite place to be - though there's also always room around the indoor gas fireplace. So many comfortable spaces fill this home, with so many spots for everyone to settle in together. Take in gorgeous lake and mountain views from the living room's window seat. The nearby full kitchen is outfitted for any chef, featuring a special coffee station, a double oven, and a prep island that doubles as a table for casual meals. The lounge on the lowest floor is the perfect place for a game night, and the second full kitchen downstairs will keep snacks and beverages coming all night. The luxuries keep coming inside the bedrooms, where guests can enjoy curated decor and comfortable beds. The main bedroom of the home includes a personal library available for guest use, in addition to an ensuite bathroom featuring both a stone standalone shower and a soaking tub. Guests of this home will be close to numerous outdoor attractions, from Mount Pisgah to the Biltmore Estate. But you'll always have a great base to return to at this home.

Probably the nicest place I've stayed on vacation. It was perfect for what we needed. If the owner is wanting to improve the rental experience... I would suggest removing the memory foam on the back bedroom bed. It held body heat, which might be great in winter, but not so much in other seasons. It was also difficult to make adjustments to your body position because you sank into the foam and that made it hard to move. The positioning of the furniture around the driftwood sofa did not give much clearance as you moved past it and there are several pieces on the wood that protrude. I had several painful encounters as did others in the room. My suggestion would be to create more open space around the sofa... Front and back. Small complaints on a very nice place.

The view is awesome. Plenty of room and everything we needed was supplied. Only issue we had was getting the door code to open door. Took an hour to actually get it to work correctly.
