Location was great! Quiet and off the beaten path, but still close and convenient to everything we wanted to go out and do. Perfect layout for the grown ups to be able to hang out and come in and out without disturbing the kiddos and grandparents upstairs.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Arrival: Bed sheets in Master contain stains and hair-housekeeping changed sheets, Day 1: Garbage disposal did not work and was repaired, leaked after repair, couldn't use kitchen sink at all, Day 2 garbage disposal was replaced. Generally: clump of hair on the floor, shower hose downstairs covered by mold, microwave light over the stove did not work, the house needs TLC. Otherwise, the area is great, Beautyful views of the mountains

Valle Crucis Escape

Great place and location. Very relaxing ambiance, well equipped, and cozy. One disappointing factor was the extreme amount of dust/pollen on entire deck and all deck furniture, housekeeping should have rinsed it down, would have only taken a couple minutes. Everything else was great.

Very charming

Very easy to find. Very spacious and comfortable home to stay in. Plenty of parking space and a large yard for kids to play in. Also, able to see lots of wild life in the early morning.
