We really enjoyed our stay at Sleep Bear Hollow. The house is clean, communication was excellent, and the location was perfect for a quiet mountain getaway. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and the large yard for star gazing on a clear night and tossing the frisbee during the day. My daughter has already said she wants to go back.
We arrived at night but the codes for the gate and door worked find and directions were spot on. House and yard was very nice. I will say little to no cell phone service which was actually nice. Deer and other wildlife was around for a beautiful scenery.
The only issues were: a few cockroaches in the kitchen the first night but our contact said it recently was treated. We did not see anymore afterwards and the glue boards did not show any. The WiFi never worked no matter what tricks we used, so the TV did not work. No WiFi did not bother us since it was just 2 nights and we stayed busy.
Recommend bringing trash bags and toilet paper is staying more than 1 night.
I would stay here again if just a weekend or short trip.
