Beech Mountian ski trip

Despite the listing and pictures both showing a hot tub. This property didn’t actually have one. We were traveling with five teenagers and six adults, all of which anticipated sitting in a hot tub outside after skiing. It was very disappointing. Other than that everything as shown in the description was accurate. I was very surprised to find VRBO doesn’t offer assistance with an inaccurate listing.

Framily Vacation

This home was everything we could have ask for--it was beautiful inside and out. The house supplied everything we could ever need. We had 20 people total in our group (8 adults and 12 children) and there was plenty of space for everyone. Christie was very communicative and answered any questions we had before our arrival. We will definitely book from this owner again. The house was close enough to all the fun activities we had planned-- snow tubing, caverns, shopping, & wilderness coaster. We had such an amazing Framily (friends = family) Vacation! Thank you for helping us make memories.

Great Place in a Great location

Our troop stayed here during our annual ski trip. The house was awesome, very well stocked with everything we needed, and had plenty of room for our troop. The host was amazing and very helpful with all our questions. The location was perfect, especially with the cold, snowy weather during our arrival and stay.

Misinformation

This is a nice place to stay with plenty of thi n s to do in the area. The listing however had some issues. The media room downstairs was useless since the tv did not work at all despite asking for help. The pool table was in very poor shape as well. Everything else was good. My only complaint beside the useless media room was that the welcome book and listing did not align and we received a fee for having a pet one night even though the welcome book said pets were welcome. This error was admitted by the owner but still did not refund our fee. When businesses make mistakes, it should be at their cost, not the customers.
