The house was perfect for us. There are well maintained trails that lead to the fire pit area as well as down by the creek and back up to the house. Inside was neat and clean. The house had everything we needed. We are looking forward to coming back one day.

The house is definitely home away from home. The host checked in on us to make sure everything was good to go, and all of the comforts of home are at this property, plus a beautiful landscape with a river to visit right in the back yard! Beds were comfortable, the home was beautifully decorated, there were lots of things to keep my family and I entertained in the house if we wanted to stay in, and I wish I could take that front porch home with me because that was my favorite spot. This was my second time staying here, and I know I will be coming back for sure. We appreciate being able to visit here, and it’s our favorite house we have stayed at from any Vrbo property ever! I also appreciate all of the information about nearby locations to help with sight seeing. This property is close to the blue ridge parkway, and being located on 226A is perfect, because that is such a scenic and fun rd to drive on. Thank you Brenda for allowing us these lifelong memories we have made here at your property!

Sorry about that. Because we have a septic tank, we have to use a thinner and more disovable. Other than that was everthing to your satisfaction.
