The condo was amazing. The drive was a little tricky since it was snowing. When we were leaving the riads were icey. The rental agancy extended our check without asking. When I asked about the roads they responded quickly. They had the riads completely cleard and ice free before 10 am.

Check in and checkout instruction were clear and easy to understand. Location was excellent and beautiful view from the back deck. The home was very welcoming when arriving and very clean. We stayed for two nights to enjoy some skiing. So we did not take advantage of the additional amenities but the home was in close proximity to skiing/tubing. My only complaint is food being left in the microwave from the previous residents and gave off an odor that took a bit to identify. Also, the bathtub drains are very slow to drain and need a good clean out. Other than, pictures of the home do not represent how cozy and clean this place is and plenty of room! Highly recommend.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our time here. Was great to have 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Kitchen was excellent. Just down the road was access to the pool and clubhouse. The only thing to consider (which is no fault of the property or rental company) is that they are doing construction on the bridge to Boone. So if you will be traveling that way a lot, it will take some time.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. The Grand Oaks floorplans are great with three bedroom and baths on a single floor.

Sunrises from the balcony were phenomenal! Main level entrance made it easy to get in and out. Ample parking right in front. Condo was really clean & spacious. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Condo has an electric fireplace, and we were unable to use it for s’more. Owner has a small s’mores machine which we really appreciated.

The property was beautiful with gorgeous views. One of the bedroom’s sheets and comforter were blood stained with several pieces of hair in the sheets. Dishes in the cabinet were not clean. Bedroom window was left open causing room to be very cold.

This condo was perfect for our small group. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. It was great that each room had its own bathroom for privacy.
