On this property you have to start with the host Steven. I have experienced both good and bad hosts, and Steven is the best of the best (communication, flexibility, responsiveness, and all the traits you want in a host. The property itself is also a winner. At 3,500 ft elevation, you get the cool air without a lot of humidity. It is located in a rainforest, and the back porch and view are excellent. The house itself is as described, so if you like the pictures you should like the house. An extra benefit is weekly trash pickup at the house instead of driving to a convenience center miles away. Nice house!

Host was available right away to give us the access code, as VRBO had sent us the wrong code. Really enjoyed the beautiful sunset views from the wrap around deck which was perfect for our dogs. The house is very nice on the inside, except for the stove which had melted plastic on one of the burners. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and even saw a deer on the property.

Weekend getaway

We arrived Friday evening and left Sunday morning. The home was perfect and relaxing and we spent a lot of time on the back porch taking in the views. Saturday we walked around Lake Junaluska and explored downtown Waynesville, both minutes away. Everything in the home was clean and cozy and we appreciated the updated open living space. We look forward to staying here again in the future, hopefully for longer, since there is so much to do and see in the area.

Perfect weekend getaway

I brought my family to the mountains for the weekend. Excellent location we were able to shop, dine and spend a day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The home is family and pet friendly. We spent one evening playing games and roasting marshmallows by the the fire-pit. They supply everything you need minus toiletries. The home has a beautiful view of the sunset off the top porch which I loved. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Mountain Retreat!

Over the river and through the woods and up to gorgeous views! This property has been thoroughly renovated on the main floor with a well appointed kitchen, inviting living room space, wrap around porch, Fire pit area, and two comfortable beds and baths. Conveniently located near Waynesville, we enjoyed the downtown area with its restaurants and shops. Rode on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Visited Asheville. But more importantly, spent quality time as a family!The owner was super responsive when the access code provided via VRBO was inaccurate. The only nonissue was that no one wanted to stay in the downstairs bedroom suite. The pictures are accurate. We just didn't realize it was connected to partially finished basement space. More family togetherness! Would stay there again for sure!

Disappointed on arrival

The place is nice. Good location. However, They forgot we were coming. The place was not cleaned up from prior people. After a long day of driving we had to wash sheets, clean tub, scrub kitchen sinks and counters so we could eat and sleep. The bathroom door in one bedroom wouldn’t close all the way. Owner gave us a credit for one day, that was appreciated.

Can’t beat the price! Great if you don’t require bells and whistles.

A little dated. Carpet was very stained but clean. The hall bathroom shower will scream at you which we all got a good laugh at. The house rules need to be posted on website for review when booking as we were unaware of the dogs on bed policy and scrambled for extra coverings. All in all, this was a clean, quiet home to use as a base for our vacation outings. Beware of the steep road as my daughters car did bog down on the steep curves.
