This house is beautiful - inside and out. Views and location are great! Total privacy! Hot tub, sauna and fire pit a huge plus! Very comfortable furniture. Only recommendation would be to equip kitchen and bathooms - re: aluminum foil, ziplocs, serving dishes, more towels etc... Incredible house - we can't wait to vacation here again!!

Hey Maureen,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review of High Top Mountain Retreat! We're thrilled you enjoyed the beautiful views, privacy, and amenities during your stay. Your feedback about equipping the kitchen and bathrooms with additional supplies is greatly appreciated, and we will be sure to look into that. We're so glad you had an incredible experience and can't wait to welcome you back again soon. Thank you for choosing High Top Mountain Retreat!
We had 8 guests stay at this location for a weekend retreat away. The home itself is beautiful. Master bedroom on the top level with a king size bed, marble shower and jacuzzi, and a small pull out couch. Downstairs is a queen, a full, and a king pull-out. The house says it sleeps 8, which is true with the pull out couches… but speaking “beds” there are only 3 bedrooms, something to be aware of if people want privacy when sleeping. The sauna was my favorite part, but it only stays on for an hour and takes multiple hours to get above 100F. Overall we enjoyed our time. There were NOT enough towels, barely any extra blankets, and we used all of the toilet paper. For the amount of guests AND having a hot tub / sauna, I would have thought there’d be more towels and toilet paper. There was also no Fire wood for the outdoor fire pit. An important thing to know is that the owners are watching the camera footage. I was texted with a concern that there were more than 8 guests in the house, when I asked why, I was told that the owners saw 7 cars in the driveway via the security camera. This made me feel very uncomfortable for the duration of the stay. So beware that the cameras aren’t just for an emergency, we are being watched.
