We rented this cabin specifically for its advertised seclusion and privacy, but our experience was the complete opposite. When we arrived, the garage door was already open, and a worker was on the property doing a project across the driveway (he had the garage code to get in). He stayed until after 8 p.m., and since there are no blinds on the windows, he could see directly inside the house, making us very uncomfortable. The next day, we contacted the rental company, who said they didn’t know about the worker. After speaking with the homeowner, they assured us he would not return—but he came back every day for the next two nights. The property was also dirty, with dog poop upstairs, and the outdoor grill was unusable. Despite all this, the company only offered 50 and has since ignored my calls and messages. The house itself is beautiful, but there is absolutely no privacy, and the management is unresponsive—do not stay here.
Dark and he's can see inside because of no blinds
Brought helpers, everyone can see inside because of no blinds.

Nice Mountain House with beautiful views

Overall, this is a well-appointed property with beautiful views. The house is easy to access and in a nice neighborhood. Communication with the property management was pretty easy, they texted with us back and forth. There were a few minor issues like light bulb under the microwave being out, the fireplace in basement not working, etc. but overall the house is in good shape. They could stand to mount a TV over the fireplace and upgrade the king size bed in the basement. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the dishes we need for cooking. Hot tub worked great. Would recommend this property!

Beautiful, relaxing location

This property is located in a beautiful location. We rented during the summer, and I can imagine the beauty during the other seasons. Driving up to the house could be difficult during the winter in certain instances. The house provided plenty of space for our 7 guests and is capable of accommodating more. I highly recommend booking this home for your vacation needs!

Beautiful mountain getaway

The property is located at the top of the mountain and has beautiful views. The house was spacious with lots of common area and plenty of amenities to enjoy ( pool table, jacuzzi, game tables, etc)We had a couple issues and the response time was so delayed as to be unhelpful. Apparently power outages are common and we didn’t know how to reconnect the internet. A response hours later in the middle of the night was so late it was not helpful.The kitchen was spacious but lacked some quality tools like spatulas. Overall we had a wonderful stay and it waswas nice.

Mountain Cabin

This home was at the top of a mountain. It had stunning views of the valley below as well as of other mountains. The house itself was large. It could sleep 3 couples and two others. It was in great condition. The drive up the mountain was intimidating to some in the group. But the view made is. worthwhile. I highly recommend the house.

Great house, awesome view

Rented the house for a group of friends on a motorcycle trip. House was as described. Very comfortable and plenty of room for our group. The view from the 2 decks is simple amazing. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. For any motorcyclists thinking of renting for your group this would be a great place, but be aware that the road up to the house is windy and steep. The driveway itself is mostly flat and use of the garage is a great benefit.

Great Family hiking weekend with adult children & family dog

Gorgeous mountain home with full amenities and view! Spacious enough for my husband and I and 2 adult children and their spouses, plus family dog. Close to Pisgah National Forest where we hiked a total of 24 miles over Memorial Day weekend - enjoyed the hot tub. Kitchen was large enough for us to make meals together. Precious memories were made sitting on the porch looking a mountains talking, playing guitars & piano ( available at house), and family meals around the large table. I would recommend to groups of 6 or more people.
