The house was beautiful, very clean, amazing view of the lake & mountains, and the owners had everything we needed for our stay.By far the nicest rental I have stayed in and we have rented many over the years!! If we come back to the area we will be staying here again. Also, we were a little confused at check in and the host answered first call and was super sweet to walk us through our little confusion! Thank you!!!

Wow! Beautiful home with a stunning mountain and lake views. We rented for the weekend for our son’s graduation from WCU and couldn’t have been more pleased The house is immaculate and very well laid out. The large windows provided for amazing sunrise and sunset views from the living dining room and all of the bedrooms. We had everything we needed for an unforgettable weekend for our family. Now we need to find another occasion to return!
