Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host

We are friends who own multiple vacation rentals together in locations that we love to visit and enjoy! We care very much about the guest experience and our goal is to provide the most enjoyable stays possible.
Why they chose this property
We love Wolf Laurel because of the easy access to the Appalachian Trail and Big Bald Mountain. Skiing in winter is also a big plus! The high elevation setting makes the temperature pleasant in any season. Fall is also especially beautiful with the leaf change season! Spring is just as beautiful with trees leafing out and wildflowers emerging.
What makes this property unique
This property is unique due to the privacy offered. The home sits above the road and has long setbacks from neighbors, offering excellent privacy and quiet for your enjoyable stay.
The views are excellent, spanning to the horizon line over 12+ layers of mountain ridges. The depth of the view depends on the season, temperature, and humidity. The home faces southwest, offering beautiful sunset colors in the sky.
