• Beautiful Mountain Views

  3/5

  The back porch, mountain view, open concept and helpful full-time neighbors were the best qualities of this property. As mentioned in previous reviews, the driveway is very steep and does not have a gravel bonding agent, just gravel, that constantly needs to be raked and restored. The host was not happy when we tried to bring our trailer up the driveway and our tires spun, digging up some of the gravel from the driveway. I left the host a note with suggestions for the enjoyment of future guests: Fix garbage disposal, provide more than one blanket for the 3 bedrooms, provide more than one wine glass, make sure the clocks are working and batteries are replaced (none of the 3 clocks were working). Replace empty spices and provide more than one roll of paper towels and put up the other closet panel on the washer and dryer. I stay in short-term rentals all of the time and my family also owns one. I just want the owner and host to be the best they can be so that their beautiful rental will continue to be lucrative. I know the host and owner will take care of the things that I mentioned because they have done so when other guests left reviews and suggestions. The best part of our trip was having an amazing visit with family and meeting Missy, Jack, and Ozzie next door.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Denise, we’re so glad you enjoyed the mountain view, and the neighborhood, but we’re sorry other aspects fell short of expectations. After sending your feedback to the owner, we'd like to share the following:
  - The driveway is typical for mountain homes in North Carolina, where gravel surfaces and steep grades are common. While different from non-mountain driveways, it meets local standards and is regularly maintained.
  - Towing a trailer on mountain slopes requires careful driving to avoid tire spin, which can disturb the gravel but isn’t due to property neglect.
  - There are multiple blankets and a full set of wine glasses at the property. The homeowner encourages guests to reach out during their stay if anything additional is needed.
  - The homeowner values constructive feedback and consistently addresses guest suggestions. They’ll review your notes to keep everything in great shape for future guests.
  We appreciate your feedback so we can continue to improve and support the homeowner in providing guests with the 5-star service he is known for.

  5/5

  The house was very clean and cozy. The kitchen had all necessary appliances and more. The hot tub was clean and hot even in the snow! The only problem we had was not being able to get back up the driveway due to the gravel being wet and ice forming when it snowed, but we ended up just parking our cars at the top of the driveway and had no issues. Overall, a great stay.I would not take a car that doesn’t have 4 wheel drive.

  4/5

  The cabin was great clean and had everything one would need but was a little short on toilet paper.. but the big problem was the driveway unless you are in a truck it’s really hard to go up and down on Harleys or a car had a lot of ruts in it but other than that I would stay there again but being a bike rider I don’t think we will just because of drive way
