The house itself is beautiful, very spacious and such a great location. The views are stunning. Most things in the house were great but for cost of this home, the amenities were not as expected. Pots and pans so scratched and old, that we went and bought our own to use while there for the week. There were enough towels, pillows and blankets for the entire family. Hot tub quit working after we arrived but host was quick to get a technician out to repair for us. Very responsive on that. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay here for thanksgiving week.

The house was honestly the best part of our trip. Our group was floored by the size and charm of the place. Super clean with tons of amenities. Only “flaw” would be how long and winding the road is to get back to town, but even that’s reaching. 10/10 would stay again.

Avalon - Great place for our large family trip

This was an outstanding property for our large group. We had room for all and had a very good time. With that said, it is a little remote and a steep ascent to the house. The location, once there was breathtaking so the getting there was well worth the view. There was plenty of parking for 4 vehicles. The amenities were very nice and the kitchen was a focal meeting place for us all.

Would have been a 5 Star...

This house is amazing. Perfect for our two families. Clean. Beautiful. Great view. Beds were great. The major problem was the oven didn't work and the guy that "could fix it" was out of town. If we would have known ahead of time we could have been prepared. We had made food ahead of time, etc. etc. and could not cook it! Super mad about that. The other problem was the TV speakers didn't work. We finally went to Walmart and bought a speaker so we could hear the TV. Place was amazing and I would stay again...just make sure you ask about the oven (or just know it doesn't work) and ask about the TV...or bring a speaker!!
