The house and our stay were both amazing! This was such a relaxing place to stay with our two families, both with young children, age 2-4. We got to enjoy the mountain views directly from the main living area as we cooked and relaxed in the main living area. Everything was very clean and the host provided extremely clear information about the home and the surrounding area. Overall excellent weekend!

Amazing home!

We had an awesome time at this house and the host was fantastic. The view is amazing and the home has everything you might need (even smores ingredients!). The outdoor area is great for relaxing and there is plenty of comfortable seating on the inside as well. My friends and I are already discussing having a longer trip to the area so we can stay in this house again! (I will mention that the driveway is so steep it feels like you are going up the hill on a roller coaster, but that only adds to the feeling of being secluded!)

Good view

This property has a nice view of Mt Mitchell. It's spacious enough for a family of 7. We had 4. Pros: The view, stocked up kitchen with cooking essentials, plenty of firewood to use, nice TV/game room although the air hockey table is falling apart. Cons: Not for older people or anyone who have a hard time getting up and down the stairs. Had a water leak/drips from the shower from the top floor. This appears to be a known issues based on the stains. I reported it to the owner. No hot tub (even the amenity sections indicated there was one)
