It was the perfect relaxing weekend away for our girls trip! We had a great time in the peace and quiet relaxing by the pool, cooking dinners, and just enjoying our mom time off!

We are so delighted the "Moms" had a nice quiet weekend at Cider House! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon when you need another "Girls Trip!"
The kitchen was great. We mostly ate out but what we needed was there. The house was clean and homey. We loved the layout with our big family! We did not use the hot tub because the light on the porch was not working and we were going to use it at night. Communication was timely.

The house was perfect for us. Lots of space for hanging out together. Well stocked kitchen. Amenities were everything a family needs. The gorgeous front entry made a great backdrop for an engagement photo.

Thank you for your kind review of Cider House. What a momentous occasion to celebrate with your family! We’re honored to have been part of it and look forward to hosting you again in the near future.
The absolute best. The house was spacious, nice, and clean. My family enjoyed the pool when the weather was nice. One down fall was that the grill didn’t have a propane tank. We were still able to fix wonderful meals in the kitchen.

Thank you for staying with us and for your kind review of Cider House. We’re sorry you were unable to use the grill, and wish you had reached out to us during your stay, as all of our grills are hard-lined to a main propane tank in the yard. We truly hope you’ll come back and stay with us again in the near future.
Had a great time with friends in this hugee house in Blue Ridge. Lots of cozy bedrooms. Super clean. We enjoyed the pool and grill! Also, there were tons of plates, cutlery and kitchen gadgets to cook with 👌
We really enjoyed the property. Very family friendly for all ages! They provided all the home essentials needed to be comfortable and to have a great time. Fully equipped I just wish there was a pool table but that’s just extra!

Thank you so much for staying with us at Cider House! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you had everything you needed to have a great time. Thank you for sharing this review with us including your wishes! We will pass that along and we do hope to host all of you again soon!
This was such a great house for multiple generations visiting. A king suite and bathroom at one end of the house gave perfect privacy for the elders that needed a break when the rest of us were ready for air hockey, foosball and games. That room was in the opposite side of house but my husband and I still had plenty of quiet when the kids “young adults” wanted to continue playing. Great porch space for both shade or sunset. We truly appreciated the home.

Thank you Anne-Marie for your wonderful review of Cider House. You certainly did select a perfect home for multi generations to enjoy. We are pleased the young adults had fun at the same time that other members of the family were not bothered. We trust you will visit us again in the near future. Once again, thank you for staying with us.
Pool was great, location was good, accommodations were good. A/C did not work for the two days, the internet in part of the house didn’t work, slow drain in guest bathroom sink, ceiling fan in other room stopped working. Shower pressure was amazing!

we really enjoyed our stay. The place was very spacious and well kept. The kitchen was well supplied; but, the ice machine in the fridge didn't work and we have a hard time trying to figure out how to turn the oven on. Thankfully, we found the oven manuel. A detailed list of how to turn the oven on would be wonderful addition next to the oven. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
We stayed at Cider House for Thanksgiving. It was a multi-generational family gathering from ages 11-72. The house was clean, accurately represented in the pictures and spacious. The house is conveniently located across from Mercier Orchards as well as downtown Blue Ridge and McCaysville. We enjoyed our time at the house. It was too cold to use the outdoor pool but the hot tub was perfect. We did wish that there was a bathroom on the second floor as it was rather inconvenient for guests to walk up and down to use the bathroom. Also, there was no indication in the description of dampness in the basement, but it was readily apparent by the odor as well as the dehumidifier. As a result, the kids didn’t go down there to play at all. The basement and the games down there might as well not even have been there for our purposes. That did not diminish too much the overall experience. The hosts were quick to communicate and respond to questions. Overall we had a great time at Cider House.

Firstly, we want to thank you for staying with us at Cider House and for taking the time to share your review. We sincerely apologize that you were unable to use the basement due to the odors and that your children couldn’t enjoy the games downstairs. We have forwarded this concern to the appropriate department for review.
We are glad to hear that, despite this issue, you were still able to make the best of your stay and enjoy your Thanksgiving. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Overall we had a wonderful time. It was very hot and humid so all of us enjoyed the pool immensely! The pool was perfect for our grands. 20, 18, 17, 15. The house was very comfortable..very spacious, very accommodating for 10 of us. Although there should be curtains in bathroom windows. You could see right into the shower of the master bath from the deck...we hung towels in windows. Also it would have been nice to have some towels for pool use. There were no basics in kitchen. In other homes we were provided coffee, coffee filters, salt, pepper. Hot tub was not heating when we got there but Malachi was there and took care of the problem very promptly. Very nice young man! Blue ridge is a beautiful area. Thank you for a very nice stay. Highly recommend this home!
