Hi Joel. Thanks for the review. We apologize for the unexpected A/C issue. It was unfortunate that it needed to be replaced during your stay but hopefully the two comped days and gift card for dining helped make your stay a little better. Safe travels home. Aliette

The views are as advertised (which is the most important thing), beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Close enough to town while still feeling secluded, very well stocked kitchen and what seemed like new mattresses on the beds.

What a much needed 3 day respite. Most importantly, the sunsets were superb and I spent most evenings on the porch swing gazing out.The house is tastefully decorated with updated comfy sofa and bed.I was only disappointed that there is no vacancy in late October because I am ready to return.

This is a great cozy home. The house has everything you need and it was spotless. We enjoyed the view and many birds including hummingbirds at the feeders.The property is about 15 minutes from downtown Waynesville but feels much more rural up on the mountain. The neighborhood is quiet and the roads are paved so vehicle type isn’t an issue. We really enjoyed our stay and also the towns of both Waynesville and Sylva, the latter about 30 minutes away towards the Smokies.

This was the perfect property for our family of four to relax. The views were amazing. The drive up the mountain was very different from Florida but nothing we couldn’t handle! Would definitely stay here again.
