This location was incredible, and the views just amazing. All in all, it was a nice little stay for our friend group - cozy and comfortable. Not a 5-star resort, but we didn't expect it to be, and it perfectly worked for what we had in mind. Strolled through downtown Waynesville, stopped in for some shops and eating nearby, went hiking and saw some incredible sights of the mountain ranges. We went in autumn when the leaves were changing, and that was a perfect time to take the trip and see all the variety of color rolling across the mountains.
Earlier reviews said there wasn't much in the way of cookware, but someone must have added more because we didn't have a problem with that. The only thing I'd note is if you don't live in an area with hills and you don't have a car that does well with really steep inclines, be prepared, or maybe rent a different vehicle. Of course it's up in the mountains, so it's silly to expect anything else, but those roads are definitely narrow and VERY steep. Also in the latter part of the trip, the house was swarmed (in a very literal way) by ladybugs. It was the season, so probably not much to do about that. But if for some reason you have a phobia of insects, well. This is as cozy and secluded as the description says, and you should be prepared for wildlife.
