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.

Great stay in the Blue Ridge

Property was as advertised. Clean and comfortable. It was a little further from Waynesville than we thought. The road up the mountain had a few switchbacks, but we didn't have any problem accessing the property. Host was very responsive when we had difficulty with fireplace. My husband and son-in-law loved the firepit. We left a day early due to Hurrican Ian. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Peaceful stay but close to the action...

Property owner is a wonderful communicator and very helpful. It is clear he wants guests to have an enjoyable stay while at this property. The neighborhood had more homes than we anticipated, but was still very quiet and peaceful. Neighbors we met while walking the dogs were friendly. Location is so close to so many towns and things to do- Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, and even Asheville is about a 30 minute drive. There is a dog park at Waynesville Recreational area which was also a nice alternative, as opposed to just walking our dogs in the neighborhood. House was cozy, comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Very clean and welcoming. The directions to the property were easy to follow.

Everything was exactly what you see in the pictures. The views of the mountains were spot on. We absolutely loved the porch. The house was full of everything needed, all you need to bring is food, personal belongings and toiletries. We had a very pleasant stay.

Sorry to say, but disappointing- needs work

Steven seems to be a very nice guy and is great on communication, but the property definitely needs some TLC, and a good scrubbing. Positives- nice big deck areas (were dirty), nice view and sunsets, quiet, very peaceful and relaxing. Nice fire pit area (no wood- bring your own). Good hot water and A/C. Downstairs living area is clearly newer and than upstairs and a great area for family/friends to have their own space. Washer and dryer work great. Fridge keeps food nice and cold but ice maker does not appear to work (didn't care about that this is just an FYI. There are trays). Nice to wake up to birds singing! Negatives- the upstairs carpet is disgusting and I would not consider staying there unless it was replaced. We walked in and it stunk VERY strongly like dog- there are large and numerous stains on the carpet. Steven got right back to us regarding this issue and told us to spray odorban on it which did help, but a horrid first impression. We opened the windows as much as possible. We stayed for 2 weeks and I sprayed odorban about every other day. The last 3 nights my daughter came with her dog, but we did not have a dog the other 11 days, so it was not from us. It was quite difficult to get past that odor! As mentioned above, the decks were very dirty. There were 2 rocking chairs downstairs- one was broken. 6 Adirondack chairs-2 were broken. The outside table had to be leveled in order to eat off of it and the downstairs outside end tables were filthy. Kitchen stove had large melted plastic on one burner and could use a good scrubbing. There is definitely a need to replace and provide more cooking pots and pans and forks-I think there was a total of 6 miscellaneous sized forks. I used baking dishes but they needed to be covered in foil- they were pretty gross. The property would best be described as tired and in need of some TLC. (And a better cleaning crew) The drive up to the property is quite steep and there are some hairpin turns. This is not anything bad about the property-just be prepared for that. We wanted to be up high with a view so that is what we got. We jokingly referred to it as "one beer hill" because you would be very foolish to have more than one beer and drive up it. We made sure to be back before it was totally dark out after we drove up it in the dark once- it was pretty scary. I am not a person to leave a negative review and it pains me to do so but I also think this is a realistic view of the property.

Nice quiet getaway!

Very nice and quiet area. Our host, Steven responded very quickly on any questions I had. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The extra living area on the lower level was a plus. I met the neighbor who was walking his dog. He stopped to talk and was very friendly. Over all, was a good mini vacation. I wish we had had more time but we would stay here again. One big plus for us was the pet fee. I had looked at alot of places to rent and this was one of the lowest. It's a shame that others charge so much for our furry friends. Especially, if yours is like mine and is very well behaved.

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.
