The home was spotless. It was fully stocked with supplies. The view was beautiful.The downstairs bed was soft. Easy check in. Everything in the home worked. Good lighting. Fabulous stay. I would not hesitate to stay again. I do plan to return.
Wonderful home and so very comfortable and clean. The peace of the surrounding mountains and land was so beautiful. Beds were comfortable and den/ living area was perfect. Kitchen was well thought out and equipped for all our cooking needs. We will be back. Our hosts were very accommodating and helpful with things to do and restaurants in the area. So glad we found d it.
This house is beautiful with lots of windows to view the beautiful mountains. It is well equipment; we had everything we needed. The owners were quick to respond to any questions that we asked. The game room was an extra fun bonus, my five year old granddaughter loved learning how to play air hockey. The house appears out in the country and secluded but it is actually very convenient to Main Street, Waynesville and only five minutes away to restaurants and fast food joints. We hope to be able to stay here again.
Beautiful home and property with wonderful amenities and thoughtful extras by the Host. Really ample space for our family of 5, and in a really ideal location. The Host was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!
This was a beautiful spacious home with lovely views and located within miles of shopping and restaurants. The house was very clean; parking and entry to home was easily accessible. The host was very accommodating and friendly. I will definitely be going back to this beautiful home!
We absolutely loved our stay! The property was exactly as described, with beautiful mountain views, plenty of space, and everything we could have asked for. It was also the cleanest vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in, which made our stay even more enjoyable and comfortable.The host was wonderful—responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.We would 100% recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again!
The place is very nice and it’s close to the location that we were doing business. The beds are a bit too soft for our liking at the view was beautiful and the porch was amazing. Parking was great. The hill is steep but not as steep as others we’ve experienced.
Beautiful home and wonderful views. The home is very spacious and was perfect for our family. Our kids loved the game room and the hill to roll down. The host were very kind, helpful and responsive. Would definitely recommended to others.
This is a beautiful home. More than we expected. Clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, gorgeous view and close to everything we needed. The host messaged me with all the information I needed plus suggestions for local places to eat. Our host provided so many extras we weren’t expecting. We will be booking again in the future.
Excellent property. Everything was clean (including baseboards, lights etc which is rare). Updated, modern, and so many wonderful accommodations - soaps, dishes, etc. We really enjoyed our time here and the hosts were very attentive and helpful.
Wonderful, well appointed property with lots of room. Great location with awesome views. Super easy process to rent, check in and out. Responsive hosts. Highly recommended.

Thank you! We hope you will consider staying with us again on your next visit.
This property is exactly as listed. The attention to detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible is amazing. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer! We definitely want to come back in the future.
The view from the front porch on this home is amazing - I could basically live on the porch. It’s as beautiful on the inside as it is the outside. Also, you are in the country and still 10 minutes from downtown. Perfect house in a perfect location. This one will definitely go on my revisit list.

What makes this property unique
The property is centrally located within minutes to shopping, dining, and outdoor activities. The long-range views from the wraparound porch are amazing, along with the gorgeous sunsets. The rural setting is also perfect for stargazing, and in the summer months, the fireflies put on quite the show.
