About Norma Rea, Owner
My family and I have been visiting western NC for over 20 years.. I finally decided that this would be the best place I knew, for a vacation home for my family, friends and to share with others. I've been in the real estate business for over 20 years.. I've owned many rental properties and Love to share my home with others.
Norma Rea, Owner purchased this Cabin in 2013
Why Norma Rea, Owner chose Ivy Hill
I wanted something centrally located to all that western NC had to offer. I also like my privacy. This home fit the bill! I can't tell you how much we enjoy spending time on the porch swing, either catching up with friends or just reading a good book while listening to the babbling creek. The floor plan of the home also allowed my family and my visitors to enjoy their own privacy within. Each floor has it's own bedroom, full bath and bonus or sitting room.
What makes this Cabin unique
Our home will comfortably sleep up to eleven people. Three of the bedrooms (two of which are en-suite) are fitted with king beds while the bonus room has a pull out double sofa bed. In addition, there is a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a single up top. All beds have premium mattresses, upgraded bedding and we've added additional memory foam toppers for extra comfort. If you prefer a firmer mattress, the toppers can be easily removed. The home also has three and a half baths, family room with fireplace and cathedral ceilings, fully outfitted kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, dining room, loft with full bar, television, pop corn machine and washer and dryer. The downstairs bonus room is equipped with television, WII games, board games, Foosball table or a quiet place for a read.

LOVELY AND ACCOMMODATING
I'm thrilled that you felt comfortable with giving us 5 stars but I did want to address a couple of your issues.. I must admit, the lighting issue you mention along with the photos are the first time that anyone has mentioned this to me.. With having over a thousand guests through my home, I'm surprised that this hasn't been brought to my attention sooner. But we will certainly see how we can improve. The steps within the house are built to code.. They are truly no steeper than any other home that has multiple floors. I know that one of your guests did have a few mobility issues.. I do have another home where the bedrooms and common areas are all on the same floor. Maybe that would be a better option for you next time?
My main residence is in Florida, so you are correct, the driveway is a little steep in comparison to that.. Unfortunately, it's a common issue when visiting the mountains. I did send maintenance over to check on the fireplace and they report it is working correctly. As mentioned, it does have a thermostat so it will turn off automatically once the room has reached a certain temperature.
As far as the fees, I must agree that it is much different than certainly booking a hotel room. This is also a common complaint within the online booking services. But you will find that my home is no different than others. The only ones I have control over is the nightly rental and the cleaning fee. Since I charge the same cleaning fee for a two night stay or a two month stay, I can't really build it into the nightly fee without penalizing longer stays. As far as the rest of the fees, that argument has to rest with the governments who want their taxes and the booking web sites. You could certainly reach out to them for further assistance.
Again, I am pleased to hear that you found that we did do a few things right. Thank you for sharing that too..
Wishing you a fabulous holiday season and safe travels to wherever you venture next.
Location
A few quick suggestions... We're ten minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Ten Minutes to downtown Waynesville, 30 minutes to downtown Asheville, 10 minutes to the base parking lot of the Cataloochee Ski Resort off of Soco Road, and 5 minutes to the Maggie Valley Golf , Tennis and Country club..
