Great Place and Great Views

It was a very nice place to enjoy the weekend. The views are fantastic and the place is very cozy. The semi trucks are a little loud coming down the mountain at night but that's just about anywhere you stay close to a main road. Would recommend to anyone and will most likely be coming back in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Werner

Host profile image
I am the property liaison for this property, overseeing other properties throughout Transylvania County. I am a business owner, as well. I am a native to this county but grew up as a military child, spending my teenage years in Germany. I have an extremely large family on both of my parents' sides, have two grown sons, and have three of the most loving, generous, and beautiful grandchildren a Mimi could thank God for. I love the mountains, the mystics of the waterfalls, the trails and the camping experiences of the wild. I love to read, swim, picnic, horseback ride, and of course, being from here, I love the ocean and anything salt water. The Lord definitely made sure I was of multi-interest and adventurous. I am dedicated to every aspect of my life, as God has blessed me in abundance of all. I am here to help if you need anything during your stay, committed to making your stay as memorable as possible.

Why they chose this property

I love the beauty & serenity found here and the view of the endless mountains - the smell of the fresh air, coziness you feel, and watching the waterfall just outside the back door is a thrill. The excitement of various animals that show up from time to time on our deck is amusing. A restaurant is just up the hill when I want to take a night off & chill out. The 2 towns close by are really excellent to visit & has lots to offer. There is much to do here wither you're an outdoor person or not. I like trail hiking & my husband likes golf and we both like sight seeing these parts of the mountains. It’s hard to tear ourselves away from the condo because it’s so peaceful & relaxing. I’m sad to part when it's time to go home but it gives me something to look forward to when we return to the "Barrow's Den in the Smokies."

What makes this property unique

Fantastic View found nowhere else, condo just the right size, attractively decorated, safe & secure, much privacy, stores & good restaurants close by & church services just a few miles away. "Great location." A real gem!
