Home had breathtaking views of Grandfather Mountain. It was cozy and provided closeness yet big enough we werent trampling on one another. The kitchen was fully stocked - making it ideal to cook our meals in. Our family started a new Christmas tradition this year and are looking forward to staying with you next year.

We had a great time. We pick a place yearly before school starts and this year was grandfather lookout. Love the house and the area, and loved that the driveway was paved all the way to the house, it made it a lot easier to get to.

The home was spacious and lovely. We especially enjoyed the covered deck with comfortable furnishings. The beds were comfortable and the light switches were conveniently labeled. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, but did not provide staples such as sugar. No laundry soap, softener, or tissues were provided and these would have been appreciated.

99.99% Best House We've Ever Stayed

Besides a few minor quirks about the house (one thermostat, broken sink & garbage disposal, dirty master shower) this house was perfect for what we needed to enjoy a short vacation in the high country.
