This was a very comfy space with plenty of room for our group! It was clean, cozy, and a joy to stay in. We easily drove to skiing at beech mountain from this as our home base!

Cozy mountain getaway
This is one of the cleanest homes we’ve rented, kitchen and bathrooms are spotless. Appliances and kitchen stuff are all clean and well-organized. The living spaces are very cozy, esp with the fireplace on. It made up for the rainy nights so we cannot use the firepit. Mast Gen store is nearby and was very pleasant and interesting. Highly recommended for families with pets
