The house was great and exactly as advertised. We especially enjoyed the beautiful views from the back porches and the convenient location close to Banner Elk and surrounding area. The hot tub was ready to go when we arrived, which was a nice touch. It was a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing getaway, and we all really enjoyed our stay. Marsha was a wonderful host and always responded immediately whenever we had a question. We will definitely stay here again!
