In the mountains

Great property right in the mountains! Very clean and cute! It was a little drive to get to food/supplies and restaurants. Super nice people in the shared spaces (pool/pickleball/bball). Upstairs bedrooms were really hot when we were there in August.

Great cabin with one problem

Wonderful cozy cabin located in a great location with lots to explore and do! We enjoyed hiking the blue ridge parkway going to Mount Mitchell swimming pickle ball zip-lining and white water rafting, etc. However, the only reason this cabin gets a 4 and not 5 is that there’s no air conditioning on the second floor. The heat was unbearable even when we used the 3 floor fans and our 2 teenagers ended up sleeping downstairs. Would not rent this cabin again unless air conditioning was put upstairs.

Mountain Getaway

Had a wonderful time. Only 2 very small recommendations for improvement are that the fireplace room tv soundbar is too loud with no volume control from remotes and the sidewalk leading up to the house is very rough with tree branches that need trimmed.
