Quante place to stay in Ashe County
Over all it is a nice place to stay we were there for 15 days, has a little old with a little new flair. Like many places to stay in the area it has what you need could use some better cooking utensils we had to pick-up a few things to make it work for us.
The small creek that ran along the backside of the property was nice to seat next too and listen to the water run by and see all the life that live there.
Parking for more than one vehicle could be a challenge, has just one long driveway. We made it work.
Has a nice firepit across the creek we were able to have some nice family time around the fire telling tall tales and making s’mores each night.

I really have no complaints other than the Air Conditioning not working throughout the stay. Lucky there was a Dollar General down the road and a few fans later we were able to sleep through the night.

Only complaint I have is the size of the master bath. As a 6 foot 4 guy the shower was tight since the whole bathroom was only 8x8. I was surprised to be a house that sleeps 7 only 3 people could watch TV together without moving chairs from other rooms but it worked for us.
