Mountain & Lake Views

Arrived with the wrong gate code which was given to us by the owner. The bedding in the house was probably changed after the last visitor (which had visited over a month ago) and smelled musty and stale. Had to rewash all bedding. Pillows need to be replaced as well as sheets for the secondary bedroom. Dry trap on the sink in the basement which caused septic smells in the basement which also invaded the whole house. Spent our entire vacation trying to keep the windows and doors open to help with the smell only to leave with a ton of bug bites. This property is listed as a no pets property but it is obvious the owners have a large dog and probably a cat. There was evidence of both. Don't stay here if you have pet allergies. That should have been in the listing. We loved the view but that was the only thing we truly enjoyed.

Spacious home with lots of comfortable rooms, a great kitchen-dining area and huge deck that overlooks the reservoir. There were ten of us staying there and we all naturally migrated to the deck out back from first light until late in the night. The only two drawbacks of this house in the mountains, which comes with the territory, I’m sure, is the ants in the kitchen and the dank, smelly basement/garage level. There is a dehumidifier down there, but it just can’t keep up, unfortunately. All in all, we had a great time staying there!

House is gorgeous and the views are even better! Beds were super comfy and the kitchen had everything we could need for meal prep. Drive up to the home is a bit steep and curvy and I highly recommend getting there during the day if possible for the first drive up.

This is a beautiful home! Views are amazing. Lots of space and comfortable beds.

Only concerns were there were a lot of dead mice in the basement. Also, there were many burnt out light bulbs and the house needs a good deep cleaning.

The location of the house is perfect even though it is about a 12-15 minute uphill drive from Black Mountain so your car needs to be able to handle the steep inclines. We could easily get to Black Mountain and then into Asheville as well. The house had plenty of room for two families that included 5 small children, and the views of the mountains and lake were great. Andrea was very easy to communicate with and I would highly recommend this house to everyone that wants to "get away" for a long weekend like us but still have the convenience to be close enough to plenty of restaurants and shops. We would definitely like to return in the near future.
