We stayed at this property during WCU Parents Weekend and it was perfect. It was very clean, cute, and had everything needed in the kitchen. Beds were comfy and all linens were nice. The porch was great too - our son saw some deer in the morning. We would stay here again!

Nice Property-Very Clean-Good Location

Well-equipped home. Although in a supposedly private and secluded area, we had 4 unexpected, unannounced visitors. One on Sunday morning and one in the afternoon, surveying the property to quote improvements. Although respectful, they should have scheduled on a day when the property wasn't booked. The other two came on the morning before a checkout.

Our stay at Rainbow Run. Oct 4 thru 8.

We left a day early because of the storm coming. This is our 5th stay there so we are very familiar with the house. We left it the way we found it. We heard it may be for sale so we will need to see if it is still available after the new owners take over. Took the train ride for the third time and it's bigger and better than ever! I would like see the windows cleaned. I cleaned the porch windows. Also maybe one more reading lamp.

Great weekend getaway

We needed a last minute place for the weekend while visiting our daughter at WCU and this place ticked all the boxes. Amazing views, lots of options to sit and chill, play games or just enjoy nature from the deck. We will definitely return.
