Disliked: Cleanliness
Honestly, I would not stay here again due to lack of cleanliness. We were charged a significant cleaning fee, yet it appeared there was only a quick "tidy-up" job that was done before we arrived to make it "look" clean. The bed sheets in master bedroom appeared not to have been changed. Somebody's dirty sock was between the sheets as well as long black hairs on sheets. Hairs and particles on floor as well (not vacuumed). Pillow stains. Refrigerator had food stains that would have only taken 20 seconds to wipe out. Kitchen sink was not clean. Toilet in master bathroom not clean...smelled bad first time I opened the lid. Dirty oven mitt in kitchen drawer should have been thrown away and replaced a long time ago. Only one old kitchen towel. However bathroom towels were nice and appeared clean. We slept in the smaller bedroom the first night since those sheets looked clean. I washed the master bedroom sheets the next morning. I told the chat bot that I wanted a partial refund of my cleaning fee but they just send you in circles. They asked for pictures, I sent them and then they start all over asking the same questions. I prefer to rent from private owners in the future. I've had much better experiences from private owners who genuinely care about their guests experience. The condo itself is nice and has a nice view. It just doesn't appear to be loved anymore. It's a good unit for those who do not want to deal with stairs (no stairs from parking lot to the front door).

Big and beautiful views of the NC mountains

This villa was perfect for a quick escape to Banner Elk before Christmas. The den opens to a vaulting ceiling with gorgeous views of the mountains. We relaxed on the deck, even though temperatures were chilly. Den furniture is rustic yet modern, and tasteful -- very comfortable too. We enjoyed the stone fireplace. Kitchen table is huge, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed -- even nice wine glasses. The beds were quite comfortable. We highly recommend this villa!

Great Place

This particular unit at the Reserve is very easy to access. You can walk to the front door without having to navigate stairs. This was very nice. The kitchen is very well stocked and the unit is very comfortable. We initially had some trouble getting the television to work and getting a sliding glass door open but thankfully our granddaughter helped figure it out. We did call customer service at the Vacasa but unfortunately they did not get back to us until 72 hours later. We checked in on a Friday and they did not call us until late Monday afternoon. Had our granddaughter not been there to help us out this would have been a huge problem.

Disappointed

Tv and fireplace were not working when we arrived. Called the property manager twice and no one showed up to fix it. Also, there was no bath soap, no dish detergent, only 1 dish towel, and no paper towels. They also counted the loft as a bedroom so there was no privacy. It was clean and nicely decorated for the mountains.

Even better than expected!

Our family of 4 just stayed here for 3 nights and it was absolutely perfect. The place is so clean and nicely decorated with great furnishings. Beds were incredibly comfortable, kitchen had everything we could have needed and the views were spectacular. The porch/deck is way bigger than it looked in the pictures and the views were amazing! Teen daughters loved the "extra" loft space so each had their own place to chill and sleep. Overall a fabulous place!
