Staycation

Located in the mountains of Marion NC quiet little area. We enjoyed some downtime and the BigFoot festival this past weekend. Everyone in the area is so nice. The house was clean and well updated. Check in and check out was a breeze and the hosts communicated well with us. Will definitely stay there again if or when we go back to the same area.

Weekend getaway

Nice property. Good amenities. Large kitchen and bedrooms. Smart TV was nice as we could use our subscriptions. Driveway was a little steep and tight but that's to be expected in this part of NC. Overall we had a great experience just wished we could have stayed longer.

Blue Ridge Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Breakaway Bungalow! We were visiting friends in the area for five days and it was in the perfect location. There were so many things to see and do in the area. The home was neat and clean, was nicely decorated, and was well equipped with everything we needed. Even though access to the home was up a steep, gravel driveway, it was easy to get to the house and we appreciated the solitude while still being close to the main road. We would definitely stay at this property again!
