The house was as pictured and was very clean. The well-stocked kitchen was helpful and the comfortable beds and plus towels made the stay great. Our family got to enjoy the fire pit and game room. The road out front can be busy but we didn’t hear the cars. The house is in a flight path for the local airport, but the kids enjoyed watching the planes come in. Excellent hosts and would stay there again if in the area!

This was an excellent property for our visit with seven people! We loved the fire pit by the pond and the house/amenities were not only very clean but true to the description. The location of this property in Mountain Home was central to everything we wanted to see North and South. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property! We would definitely stay again!

A New Favorite
Starting from the outside -
Plenty of off-street parking in the long driveway. The back side of the home is well equipped with a large Gas grill which includes a side burner. The back deck is large enough to accommodate a group of adults, it includes an outdoor table and chairs for dining etc.
The back yard is massive and rolls down to the fire pit and pond. Several Adirondack chairs ring the fire pit (plenty of split wood on hand as well) a giant shade tree provides a nice spot for picnics etc. Our group of eight adults and two children was very comfortable by the pond. Two fish were caught from the banks of the pond. They were hitting worms and spinners.
Immediately inside the house is a large kitchen and lengthy countertop to the R as you enter. The kitchen was fully equipped- two coffee makers, pod and drip. The gas stove and oven were top notch.
The living area off the kitchen in an open-design format included plenty of seating and room to move around, watch TV and play games.
The adult bedrooms are accessed through hallways off the LR and each one was large and comfortable - an en-suite bathroom in the master.
The downstairs has the foosball table and table tennis along with another bedroom with double bunks. A big screen TV is downstairs as well.
We enjoyed local sites like the Falls at Pisgah National Forest and the quaint shopping near Lake Lure, where we swam, and enjoyed the water park.
An Ingls grocery is nearby.
We enjoyed our stay!
