Home was cozy and clean and just what was needed for a few days of quiet and relaxation! Really enjoyed the covered porch all across the back of the house!! Would definitely stay again when in the area again!
The porch was and is my fave place. We stayed out there all day and everyday, we even got engaged there!!! Comminication with the property manager was impeccable. Great stay!!!

Great Weekend!
The house was beautiful and so was the back porch view. I would definitely bring bug spray because it saved me!! It was great for a quiet getaway. I would definitely stay here again.
This home has beautiful surrounding views that make it a nice getaway but it is close enough to shopping and restaurants that it's very convenient. A short drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway and to Stone Mountain State Park. The back porch is wonderful!!
Property was nice, some things need to be worked on but overall was good. The cows being so close was really cute, especially the babies. The view from the back porch was amazing. That's where we spent all of our time
Property was great! Convenient to Sparta and other locations. Bed was very comfortable. Center spray of shower head wasn't working, so basically had just a ring of water. And master bedroom light would not stay on, so had to use bedside light. Suggest mirrors in at least one bedroom so bathroom is not only room with mirror.

Thank you so much, Greg! Ill be sure to check out those issues right away!
Biggest complaint is the neighbors dog barking all the time. The deck needed some weeding and the grass was not cut. My son woke up with a water bug crawling on his back. He was not happy. It was sufficient for our short stay. Recommend tv’s in the bedrooms amd fix kitchen floor that is soft and slanting.

From the owner: "We truly appreciate your feedback. The lawn service was rescheduled during your stay to ensure a more peaceful experience, and we’re grateful you noted the floors as this is new information for us. We’ll be sure to look into it right away. Thank you again for helping us make the home even better for our guests."
The home is simply charming, a little slice of country in the country! My mother is handicapped and not able to move around very well and this home has just the amount of space she needed, and the recliner was comfortable. Bathroom was a bit tight but overall very nice! Will return next time we head to the area!

Poor water pressure, hair all in showers, bathroom fan was super gross, bedroom fan super dusty couldn’t even use it, plants growing outta the grill, and this is outside their control but the neighbors across from them had a dog outside all night that barked an kept us awake all night

From the Owner: "Sorry to hear about all the issues, as this is the first time we've heard any of this. The water pressure is not something we can control; however, the other issues will be addressed as we take our reviews very seriously and take pride in our home away from home."
Quick in and out looking at some property. Comfortable, easy check in, extra work checkout. ( But price is right and worth it). All essentials are provided.
We did make an offer on some property and will be summer residents in Piney Creek. Possible that we may be back for closing, builder meetings etc.

Nice Home
The house was nice and clean. Very good location. We did encounter a problem with another person showing up and said they rented the same house on the same nights. We book through Evolve and thankful we could stay. Air B&B double book this house. The owner Shelby was great and helped right away. The man stayed for an hour and twenty minutes. Just a little scary.. Other than that we had a great time. Thank you
Small but spacious with plenty of deck space to enjoy the view. The cow pasture directly behind the house was a unfortunate surprise for our dogs. They were a bit reactive having them that close. Kitchen is well supplied with cookware and everything you will need. There's a regular drip coffee maker and weirdly a nespresso one. King size bed's boxspring is super loud. The bed constantly sounded like it would break. So we woke up quiet often with the noise. Everything else was amazing.
