The check in was easy, the house was very clean. And everything worked as it should. Plenty of parking space and the gravel driveway was packed enough we have no problem with Harley kickstands but spot bikes may need to use a piece of wood or some of the stepping stones under the car port.

The property was CLEAN. That's a big plus. We liked the "carport" that we were able to put our bikes in. The wifi constantly went out and buffered, the water pressure varied from ok to almost nothing. The location was a bit out of the way and off the beaten path, while at the same time being close to town. AC worked great as did the washer and dryer. Didn't use the stove or microwave.

A Home Away from Home

An extremely clean and well equipped rental. Our group of 3 were on motorcycles and the fresh pea gravel was very thick under the newly constructed bike port, so we did not park the bikes under cover. This will resolve itself once the gravel is spread out a bit. Otherwise, everything else could not have been better. I will rent again for our next trip to Robbinsville. 5 stars for sure!

Mother/Son trip for Tail of the Dragon

I rented this property for a mother/son motorcycle trip to ride the Tail of the Dragon. My son is an adult so the separate beds and baths were appreciated! :-) The rental is lovely and appears clean. Clearly, the owner has paid attention to detail. Wi-fi is strong and we appreciated the covered parking area which was perfect for our motorcycles and contained concrete pavers that we could place under the kickstands. Check-in and out couldn't have been easier. Heads up that you have to take your own trash to a (nearby) separate location but dumpsters are available 24/7 and this was not a problem for us. We were only there for a weekend and didn't have a lot of trash. My only complaint (which seems like a strong word) is that the place smelled of cigarette smoke when I first arrived. The smell dissipated a bit with air moving around while we were there, though. Overall it was a great, easy stay! Would recommend and would return in the future.

Motorcycle trip to North Carolina

Property was plenty of room for 4 adults, beds were comfortable. Quiet neighborhood but a little bit off the beaten path. One person in our party is a runner and found the neighborhood dogs (7) chased her down the road. Not really conducive to running or walking in the neighborhood. Driveway not great for motorcycles. (All gravel, long and steep slope) Listing said it had covered parking for motorcycles. Which it did but again unpacked gravel with pavers for kickstands. Bikes sunk in gravel which made it hard to move. Check in was emailed to me House would be unlocked, upon arrival found house locked. Had to call manager to bring key to get in. He was quick to respond just glad we got in at a decent hour. House was not stocked like our previous experiences with VRBO. (Ex. Snacks, couple bottles of water, toiletries, coffee) We were barely left with enough toilet paper for 4 days, which we were only there for a few hours a day. In the hallway, furnace cover was missing, not sure why. During checkout it was expected for us to take trash to sanitation facility about a mile away. Again, that has been included in cleaning fee charges in previous experiences. Also, not very conducive to motorcyclists. Final thoughts are it worked for this vacation experience but would not rent for another motorcycle vacation.

This was our 2nd trip and stay, the consistency and care of the property speaks volumes from 1 year to the next. We love the location the accommodations and tremendous thanks to the owners for caring about motorcycle riders who come to enjoy the area. We hope to return for a 3rd year in a row!
