First off, the house is exactly what it says. House in the clouds. Views were breathtaking. House is plenty big enough with 4 big bedrooms. Check in and out was easy with good communication with the rental office. Close enough to Murphy, NC that groceries aren’t a hassle, and lots of neat surrounding towns to explore and areas to hike.
The first issue we had and far and away the biggest, was that when we arrived, there was an 1 or 2” of water on the floor in the laundry room on the lower level. Got in touch with property owner and he says he knows that the problem exists and that it was due to a recent heavy rain. If it’s happened so often that he’s aware of it, who knows what kind of mood is growing in those walls. If you have mold sensitivity or asthma, I do NOT recommend. Fortunately, we are a family of four and made it work on the upper level.
The other issues were minor in comparison. Furniture is nearing end of life, carpet has stains, kitchen and dishes were greasy from previous guests, half of the windows and doors don’t have screens, and the house only had four or five bathroom wash cloths in a house that sleeps eight.
If you’re looking for a mountain get away, the views here can’t be beat. Just be mindful of the shortcomings this property has.
