Location was great! The house desperately needs a few things. There were screens missing from doors which made it difficult to get airflow as there is no central a/c, couldnt leave doors open without letting mosquitoes and flies in. The washer doesnt spin the water out (even after 2 spin cycles), and the dryer took almost 3 hours to dry 1 load. The place overall was beautiful! But does need a good top to bottom cleaning (walls/doors in bathrooms and by kitchen trash were dirty). Kitchen cabinet hardware on several drawers/doors broken. Livingroom rug with mult stains. The location was perfect! The owners were upfront about the STEEP driveway (thank you for that!). The water was dangerously hot! May want to consider some box fans during hot summer visits as the bedroom window units are not enough to cool down such a big space and cant keep doors open without screens. Overall, the price was reasonable for the accommodations.

Amazing Time

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The hosts were hands down amazing. They let us get in early when my son got car sick, responded quickly to every message I sent and made sure our stay was great. The house is walking distance to tubing which was amazing when we got 4-5 inches of snow and ice so we didn’t even have to move our cars. House was cozy and comfy. We had a wonderful time. .

Girls overnight trip

Went to Seven devils for an overnight girls trip and had a lovely time! This house has plenty of room, no one was cramped and decor was very cozy. The view from the house is beautiful; highly recommend having a hot coffee or tea while enjoying the view on the deck. Owners are very nice, informative and communicate quickly.

We love this neighborhood at the top of seven devils - it has great views of grandfather mountain and is quiet and peaceful. We love all the wildlife we see in this neighborhood and have stayed in several homes now. My biggest issue with this house was that the photos did not reflect reality on the flooring situation - we have a niche problem in that we have a senior dog who does not walk well on hardwood floors and we specifically chose this house because it was carpeted main floor but upon arrival the floors in the main living area are all wood which made our time there more difficult. Otherwise the home was fine and just had minor issues that I will bring to the owners attention privately.

Christmas at Tweetsie Railroad.

Property overall was well kept and nice inside enough for family get together and kids TV shows were available. Ample kitchen supplies for coffee, sodas, plates and bowls, etc. Not owners fault but it rained when we got there and Friday at Tweetsie Railroad. It stopped long enough to enjoy the rides and train ride.Please note it up a a moutain rode that due to weather was slick and of course at night was not well lighted.Very nice place, receptive owner, if questions were asked. Not really a bad time.

Wonderful property with great hosts

My family of five and two in-laws loved the house. It's got a great set-up for the kids with entertainment (basketball, tv and Xbox 360) and bunk beds in the finished basement. The setup allows those sleeping in the basement bedroom to be insulated from any noise in the rest of the house and the sunrise for sleeping in. The master bedroom is huge with very nice bedding and the master bathroom is beautiful. The main living area offers a view of grandfather mountain. Christian and Taylor were fantastic hosts and extremely responsive, providing local eating and entertainment options and answering every question very quickly. They provided a lot of incidentals to make things a little easier. The driveway is quite steep, so beware if you are driving a low vehicle, like my minivan with a trailer hitch below the bumper. Thank goodness they salted the driveway, because although it is asphalt, in very good condition, I doubt I could have gotten my minivan up it if there had been snow on it. My family saw deer several times, built great fires in the fireplace and spent time finding constellations in the night sky. The house is also extremely close to Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Zipline; the focus of our trip. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous location and place have LOTS of potential.

House is in an awesome location and great set up. The potential for this place is as far as they want to take it. Owners were absolutely AMAZING from the time we booked to the time we left. Cleanliness was our biggest concern. I know a lot of people hire a cleaning company to handle rentals so this may NOT be at the fault of the owner. We removed shoes at the door and within an hour the bottom of our feet were black with dirt. Lots of random unfinished decor. Nails hanging out of wall with nothing on them and lots of what appeared to be DIY projects. Outside was a little rough looking too. Not sure the sheets were clean. Towels still had plastic tags on them. Cobwebs in most corners. Sheets being requested to be left on the beds at checkout kind of made me think that maybe the sheets don’t get changed. Everything just felt dirty. Again, I don’t know that blame falls on the owner for cleanliness as they may have someone hired who’s not doing the job they are being paid to do. With a new cleaning company I would definitely come back. The other complaints are more cosmetic and just suggestions on how to make the place more appealing.

Great house with amazing view!! Our group enjoyed the house and outdoor balcony. Gas firepit was nice on a cool night. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Bonus, every bedroom had it's own bathroom which was great for three couples traveling together. Communication with the host was very good, all questions answered quickly. We got an immediate response from the host when we encountered a small check in problem. We would recommend this house and plan to stay here again if our travels bring us up to Grandfather Mountain.

Family Weekend

This house is well laid out to support multiple families. There is a bedroom on every level, and every bedroom had room for parents and child (or one more). The home had plenty of room in the dining/family room area and another family room in the basement. The kitchen was well stocked and had 2 refrigerators. We were 3 families visiting our college kids for parents weekend and felt like we were able to spread out. We loved the area (VERY steep driveway) and the views. The deck was nice and large. Our only negative is that the house wasn’t as clean as it could have been. There were dust bunnies and cobwebs in corners, the ceiling fan had a very thick layer of dust, and the beds in the basement didn’t seem like the sheets had been washed. Those little things made it feel a little less nice. Overall, the house was great and we would stay there again.
