The cabinbwas great, perfect location for snowboarding with a gorgeous view! Hot tub doesn't work, this is listed in fine print so easy to miss when booking, and excessive texts and emails from the property management company, l like to relax and disconnect on vacation, not be borhered with a bunch of unnecessary messages.

Loved the location! Very cute cottage. Some updating needed but overall had everything we needed. Glad we read the previous reviews and it was noted coffee maker was drip and not Keurig. It was very cold in the area, so downstairs was cooler than we are use to and only had fireplace to heat. Will consider using this again.

Great View

This was our second stay at the Potato House. The location and view is great. The house was very clean. The landscaping needs to be cleaned up, everything is overgrown. The deck was lovely to sit out on any time of the day.

The host, Mandy, was there when we arrived and gave us a lesson on the locking system. She was very pleasant and helpful. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. We were very comfortable in the downstairs room with the fireplace and bigger tv. We did wish for local channels to check the weather (and World Series scores on, tho). We would love to return someday to the beautiful area of North Carolina.
