Good house
The oven was replaced with a new induction type and there were no pits to use at the house. It only used a certain type of pot and there aren’t any there.

Disappointing
Numerous issues make this a “No stay” location in the future.1. No ice melt provided for a steep driveway. Even if an extra charge it should have been available for the guests.2. Kitchen stove was apparently and inductive system so only 2 small pans and 1 pot would work. And no instructions provided about how to adjust if it was possible3. Game room was a disaster even though the pictures looked great. All pool sticks were broken so playing pool was near impossible. The video game system was not intuitive to figure out(again no instructions).4 the main floor sound bar did not work so all TV had to be watched without the sound bar. It was useable but again, not as advertised5. The main floor fireplace was not intuitive to use. Took a while to figure it out.6. The pictures of the driveway are grossly misleading…this is a very steep driveway so be aware7. The wi-fi never worked!!!Many if these issues could be alleviated with some form of welcome book with instructions.For the amount charged, this was a disappointing stay and not a good value for the money. It is apparent no one lives in this house when not rented as many of these items would be observed by someone that stayed for an awhile.

Very nice cabin for a long weekend with friends. The hot tub was the perfect way to wrap up a day of hiking. Very spacious! The hotel style toiletries is a very nice touch.

House was great but …
The house and location was great with a few maintenance issues with help from the property manager except, “we will send someone over to check it”. The main bathroom facing the front door didn’t lock, which was an issue with four children under 9. The kitchen sink facet was made to stretch around like it was on a spring. The clamp to hold it in place was broken. We finally had to tie it with a string. We wrote a note to the property manager shortly after we arrived and talked with them twice. It was never fixed. The bathroom lock turned out to be a real issue to the point of adults not being able to use it. Again, let me say again, the house itself was great.

Perfect for extended family
We had family come from all over NC and central TN to hike Grandfather Mountain at my 74-year-old aunt’s request—she wanted to do it one more time. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate (it rained much of the weekend). But we had a great time. The house was large enough to spread out, the kitchen table was perfect for playing cards, the game room was a big hit, and the hot tub was so relaxing. My 2 year-old grandson loved the giant legos! The house was clean and had what we needed. The only issues we ran into were with the large coffee pot (the water wouldn’t drip into the carafe whe using the plastic basket), the kitchen faucet (the magnet that holds the faucet in the holder appears to be gone, we tied it in place), and the lock to release the deadbolt wouldn’t work when we tried to lock the front door at checkout. After a quick call to Vacasa we were able to get the key from the lockbox and lock the door. All in all, these were only minor inconveniences and we had a great time!

Great place to stay for the Highland Games
Lovely home. We had a group of 8 family members. The house was spacious, comfortable, and met our needs well. It was very clean and as expected from the information provided in advance.

Beautiful and spacious home in a lovely setting. Plenty of places for eight of us to be together or spend some quiet time alone. Would have liked to have more patio furniture for us to sit outside and more bath soap or bath and hand soap

Seeking a deep clean
House cleaners need to step up their game. We found beer bottles drink glasses, un emptied garbage, pack of cigarettes, dryer had all the towels in it. House smelled like cat. Coffee maker had the wrong size crate so coffee made a mess garbage disposal didn't work. Master bath and master bedroom dirt on the high apex of the ceilings

Fun Cabin
Great home and very close to the mountain. The driveway was very steep so we got stuck at the house for a few hours when the driveway froze. Other than that we loved the home and the space.

Property is so well maintained and anything you need in the kitchen is supplied. Quality surrounds you. You can tell owners care about your stay, and we appreciate it. Local maintenance staff very responsive and attentive to any request we had. Recommend hands down, and will rent again.
