The balcony off from the living room could have been cleaned better. There was a lot of bird droppings all over the table and deck. Also was a lot of bird droppings on the front porch. Other than that it was a great place to vacation. The townhouse was really nice.

nice, clean and brand new

Our stay at the rental property was fantastic. It was very conveniently located near Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain, and the apartment was very clean. All of the items in the apartment were essentially brand new, which was a nice touch. The owners were very nice and helpful as well. Great place to stay!

BUYER BEWARE. This property is NOT as advertised. The photos are misleading & make the home look much newer than it is. I booked this for my mom's 50th birthday, & it turned into a complete embarrassment.At check-in, the upstairs guest room A/C shown in the listing had been removed & a strong porta-potty smell inside, leaving the room unbearably hot. Maintenance didn't arrive until nearly 22 hrs later. We then discovered apparent black mold & major water damage upstairs, electrical issues throughout, upstairs bedroom lights that didn't work, downstairs lights flickering constantly, a kitchen sink leaking onto the floor, filthy curtains/chairs, remotes all dead & a refrigerator that didn't keep food cold, forcing us to throw away groceries.I immediately looked for another place to move our family, but everything was booked, leaving us stuck. After sending the host a detailed list of issues, we requested reasonable compensation. We were told, "I'll send it to management." Conveniently, they waited until after checkout to say NO refund or compensation would be provided. It' the embarrassment for me & lack of accountability was just as disappointing as the condition of the home. This isn't normal wear & tear; it's a property that has clearly been neglected while continuing to collect full-price bookings. f the property matched the listing, this review wouldn't exist. I have rentals as well & I'd be embarrassed by the lack of maintenance provided to guests.
