Overall absolutely perfect! Take your family, enjoy the views, unwind, relax or go out and adventure since you are close to everything. Only thing I would recommend is new mattress in master bedroom
I was just telling a friend that if I had to rebook this trip I would start with rebooking this house. The four of us found plenty of room to spread out and relax after driving the mountain roads around the resort. We cooked a meal in the kitchen and found everything where you would just expect to be. The view is something out of a painting and is epic. The property is well maintained and comfortable. The hosts are responsive and pleasant. Only small issue is if your car is super low be mindful of the driveway, don't use the church side of the driveway. The red car just made it.
As a car enthusiast this is a great place to stay. Being just a few miles from the "Tail of The Dragon" and our car rally based at Fontana Village. The house is well kept and has plenty of room for the kids to be separate from the adults. The only issue that we have is trash deposal. I think it would be easier for the cleaner to take care of the trash since they're local and know where to take it. For the customer to have to drive miles down the road to find a dumpster and make room to pack the trash out. (We're in a 2 seat sports car with limited truck space.) Is a pretty big ask. That being said we love the place and have already booked for the next car rally.
