We loved our stay! The home is very clean and welcoming. There were touches of Halloween all throughout the home to make it feel festive. The space was very relaxing and just what my husband and I needed to get away from all of the business of life. The host was easy to contact. I would love to bring my family back for a vacation.

Thumbs up!

This is a great place to stay, just a few miles off US19E.Very comfortable, nicely decorated.We loved sitting near the creek and cooking s'mores in the firepit.There are beautiful views from the house.Many hiking trails in the area are still closed, due to damage from Helene. But it's an easy drive to the Laurel River trail (we recommend it) or to Asheville.

An AMAZING spring break!

I stayed here with my husband and my two kids, ages 11 and 15. They LOVED the hot tub and the ping pong table. If I had to pick one word to describe the home it would be “thoughtful”. From the little notes all over the house to help the guests to the QR codes for directions on how to work the temperature control and the record player, nothing was overlooked. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. The views were breathtaking from the home and we loved watching the cows, deer, and turkeys We enjoyed eating at the Snapdragon and drinking (and more eating!) at Home Place Brewery. There were a few gift shops near the restaurant where we grabbed souvenirs. All in all, a wonderful getaway!

This property was in such a beautiful location. We saw many deer during our stay. The teens enjoyed playing downstairs on the ping pong table. The creek outback had such beautiful views, especially during sunrise. Our family really enjoyed staying here. We look forward to hopefully renting again in the future.

Turkeys, cows, and fireflies, oh my!

We loved our stay at this peaceful mountain home! Heather has created such a wonderful home away from home. Comfortably decorated with notes to answer your every question. The hot tub was amazing after long days of exploring western North Carolina. We so enjoyed the valley view. The cows and fireflies were entertaining in the evenings and turkeys dotted the hills in the mornings. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. We had fun with the basement games. The creek was so relaxing! Easy check in and check the out! Would definitely recommend!

Especially nice for children

Small tidy home in a lovely setting on a rural mountain road. Kids (4 and 5.5) loved playing in the creek and the hot tub and were delighted by the fireflies in the evening. Convenient to the delightful town of Burnsville only 10 minutes away. The dead end road made for a lovely - and safe - walk in the mornings. A nice stay!
