We thouroughly enjoyed our stay here. We are from Alabama and Florida, so the weather and the snow was a dream. The house was older, as is the whole neighborhood, but loved the nostalgic look of it. Our house was super clean, and even had brand new towels in every room. The wood burning fire place was a huge hit, and gave us such comfort after long days of skiing. The house is about 2 minutes from Cannon Mountain, and we skied there the entire week. My boys (16 and 12), skied 6 out of 7 days. It was never crowded, and many different slopes to ski on. We were there on New Years, and we could see fireworks from the front porch. Unbeknownst to us, that fireworks were around 9pm, because massive snow winds came in later. Which wasnt too nice weather for fireworks.
Neal and Deb were wonderful from the very beginning. My inquiries about the place were answered quickly, and both gave us great information along the way. Mrs. Deb called me back immediately when I had questions about our the heat amd fireplace (hubby wasnt there yet to help with fire). She was so kind and fun.
The only recommendation that I have, is to make sure you can hit a Walmart or big grocery store before settling in. There isnt too many grocery stores near by that isnt "pricey". But, it is convenient, so we appreciated it. I recommend eating at "Common Man", and the "Dutch Treat". The gentleman at the Dutch Treat put our Alabama game on for us, because we couldnt get our firestick to work. So friendly.
If you go to Cannon Mountain, ask for Theresa in the checkin rental shop. She was AWESOME!
We will be back to this place and Cannon/Loon Mountain. This was a great vacation, coming from a Southerner.
