Weekend Stay in Newland / Linville

My family and I had a great stay in Newland over the weekend of October 22. This is a very nice property. It's an older home - very well-maintained, comfortable, cozy, with a great view. There is lots of room so I highly recommend this for a large family or a gathering.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Big Sky, from check-in to check-out. The property was clean and had the neccesities. The property was not far from town, and Sugar Mountain is about 10 minutes away. I highly recommend this property for a family or group going on a ski trip.
