One Week in the Clouds
Guest: Roger
(Atlanta, Georgia)
Date of Stay: 08/19/11
Review Submitted: 10/26/11
Nestor and Sveta, My apologies for taking so long to provide a statement for your Guestbook. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more and I am not one to enjoy “relaxing.” It was grand! Our week at Above the Clouds in mid August 2011 was superb. The view off the decks is spectacular and the home is so comfortable. The property is secluded and tranquil. The grill and hot tub were frequently used treats. We brought our blind mother and her service dog with us and they were both supremely happy. Above the Clouds will provide you with privacy, peace, and total relaxation. We highly recommend you just bring your groceries, relax, and plan not to leave until checkout. Roger and Stormi.

I just wanted to drop a line telling you thanks for allowing us to stay at your home in Franklin NC. The place was beautiful even in late February. The view was fantastic in the morning and my wife was able to get some great pictures. Overall, the stay made her birthday one to remember so again thanks. Ken

Nestor Just a note to let you know I received the deposit refund. Thanks for being so prompt. We enjoyed our visit at the Tree House, and we had a great time. It was wonderful, and Keith was a joy to meet and work with. Thanks again for sharing such a beautiful, accommodating (for our family of 10) house. Carol

Thanks for the prompt return of the deposit from the Above The Clouds rental. My wife and I, plus our four grown children and their spouses had a delightful vacation. Your rental property made it possible for all of us to spend quality time together in a very beautiful setting and house. We enjoyed the hot tub, though some thought it could have been a couple of degrees cooler, in such hot weather. Speaking for myself, the bed in the Master Bedroom was oh so comfortable. We felt there was a need for a few more wash cloths, but plenty of hand and bath towels. Those who hiked to the falls were excited about it, and e-mailed us some great pictures. Our nightly devotions in front of the fire place were a thrill to us, even though we did not light a single fire place during the stay. To get up each morning and view the vista from our rooms and the main level eating area cannot be described. Keith's service was very good and prompt. I hope that if we ever have an opportunity to put together the money, for such a tri[ again, that your place will be available. Thanks. Merv Boswell, Indiana

Waiting To Return for Third Trip
Guest: Bunnyman
(Raleigh)
Date of Stay: 02/19/09
Review Submitted: 05/06/10
A group of 15 guys used this cabin as a Bachelor's Retreat before a friend go married. A few blowup mattresses up in the loft and everyone had tons of space. It was a great way to relax before my friends wedding. On the first trip we spoke about returning with our significant others. It was one of the most romantic trips i've taken. Snow had just blanketed the mountain we were looking out over. The trail leading off the back of the house sent you straight to icicle covered waterfalls. We took a few connectors that made the two singles in to a king bed. Everyone was snug and happy. We can't wait to go back!

Spring Break

Review Submitted: 04/21/10
Our family of 10 plus our dog spent the last 4 days of Spring Break (4-7 - 4-10) at the Tree House. Our stay was wonderful and everyone had their own space. Even with rain one day we were able to have a great tiem and find things for the "younger generation" to do. When temps droped slightly we enjoyed a beautiful fire in the fire place and had a wonderful time doing a "White Elephant" gift exchange. The Tree House is a great place to stay and, our greeter was a joy to work with. Thanks Nestor for sharing you beautiful house with us.
