Great Spot

Beautiful spot! The kitchen was small but clean. The upstairs bedroom was very nice, the linens were clean and bed had a nice firm mattress. I thought there was a pull out couch downstairs but there was not. Overall we had a great stay!

Needs Work

The house does need some work. The air conditioning on main level did not work. I sent a message and they did not reach out until following evening which was pointless since I was leaving the next morning. There were light switches taped with electrical tape. There were exposed wires from an outlet. Only the bottom outlets worked. The upstairs smoke detector was missing. I did not use the microwave or stove/oven. Check out instructions also say to remove trash and put in trash bin outside and there was not a bin. The house was clean and the view of the bluff was great!

Major Problems in House Need Attention

1) The volume on the TV does not work. I called the property manager and he failed to help me sort it out. I spent 4 days without a functioning TV and was too tired at night from hiking to want to do much besides watch a little TV. 2) When I arrived, there was trash in the garbage can and hairs in the bathroom sink. 3) The house has major wiring issues. The downstairs lights periodically flicker and dim. I don't feel safe in a house with electrical problems 4) The oven doesn't work. I had to throw away an expensive leftover because I couldn't heat it. There's no place to eat out in Pisgah. You have to be able to cook and heat food. 5) The microwave said "PF" and I can't even try to fix it without an owner's manual. It should have been reset before I arrived. I couldn't use it to heat food. 6) The lights over the bed's headboard do not work. I had to try to read by overhead lights and the bathroom light behind me. I would have watched TV instead of reading, but I couldn't. I tried to move a floor lamp next to the bed for reading and it didn't work either (may have been the socket). 7) Many of the light sockets do not work. I tried multiple sockets to charge my phone. When I found one that worked, the plug and my phone heated up quickly and I had to use my car to charge the phone.

Beautiful Views

Loved Gotham’s Bluff. Lovely, quiet neighborhood with amazing views. We found a couple of old trails off the main one - that was an adventure in itself! This tiny house was comfortable and clean.
