Everything was great about the stay. This place has plenty of room to spread out, and enjoy a lovely time in the NC mountains. And the views from the deck were amazing.

Your home is absolutely beautiful!! We enjoyed our stay and everything that was needed was in the home. The bathroom rugs were quite dusty but otherwise the home was very clean! Wanted to let you know the can opener is not quite working right and a few tissue boxes around would be nice. Thank you so much!

We had an amazing time!! The cabin was beautiful, clean, and well stocked. The view was incredible. We took all the kids and grands(13 of us) and had plenty of room. The game room was great. We had family space and separate spaces. It was perfect!
The cabin had a tree available. We set it up for our stay and hung my Christmas presents around it!
Morning view. The missing one (and her plus one who stayed nearby in Franklin).

Great place in the mountains

The house was great my young girls loved the basement with the game and the bunk bed. The view was amazing in the morninga seeing fog in the valley.

Chris, we are so glad you and your girls enjoyed their stay. Making family memories is what it is all about. We introduced checkers to our young grandkids last year. Every time we go up without them they ask if we are playing checkers. Makes us smile.

Hi Sonya, I am so glad our cabin met and exceeded your expectations. I think you did not mean the road but the driveway. The road is one of the better roads in the mountains. Our driveway is not a flatland driveway but then you would not get that fantastic view in a valley. I am sure once you got use to it it was easier to use. Thanks for staying with us.

Heavenly

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was clean, the beds were soft, and the views were incredible. Only a couple of cars passed the house each day, because the house sits in a gated community. The owner was easy to communicate with. We'll almost certainly be back!

Brandon, We are so glad you enjoyed our Little bit of Heaven. The view is why we built our home here. Now that we added on the covered porch you really feel like you are in a tree house only with the convivence of a real house.

Amazing View

We had a great stay here. The view from the back is amazing. The house was well supplied and had a lot of room. The basement was great with the ping pong and pool table. The owner did a good job communicating with us and was quick to respond to any questions.

Peaceful

If you are looking for a beautiful, clean comfortable home away from home, this rental is for your family. Lots of room, games, and still quiet privacy to read if that’s your thing. Great home, and host. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hopefully can return in the future.

Extremely perfect

The house was amazing. The view was even better. It’s so peaceful at night on the deck while having coffee and to watch the fog lift up out of the valley below in the morning.We stayed at the house most of the time and we had a great time. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Wonderful in every way!

This is a hidden jewel. The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and one 4yo. The view is amazing. The kitchen well stocked which means a lot because we actual cook a lot. I hope to be able to return again one day and will definitely suggest to friends.

Beautiful vacation home

This home was lovely. The view was fantastic. The manager is wonderful. The house is well stocked and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One thing to know... The road to the house and the drive are very narrow. I would stay again, but it’s not for the faint of heart, those who don’t back well, or young drivers.

Thanks Shannon for the great review. Even the locals are impressed with the great view we have. Since this is our home I try to make each guests stay as if they were visiting us personally. I am always impressed when folks back down our driveway. I never back down and I am good at backing up. Our instructions give an easy way of going down normally. In the past I had a minivan and did not have any issues with the driveway. Particularly it does take some getting use to if you have never driven in the mountains before but it is a short learning curve.
