Overall, I was happy with the rental. Comfy beds, plenty of room for families, and a good layout for hanging out together with plenty of games for the kids. The location is great for those looking to hike in nearby Pisgah Forest and restaurants in Brevard are just minutes away as well. Check-in and check-out were super easy.
A few things to note:
- The driveways are steep, gravel, and were rutted out in spots making entry and exit very difficult. I would recommend a 4wd vehicle, especially nothing low to the ground or with bald tires or you'd likely be stuck and unable to leave. Even our 2wd Highlander struggled to get out up the hill. I'm glad we didn't arrive in the dark as it's pretty sketchy getting in until you've done it once.
- The propane "fireplace" downstairs is not ventilated! When my family came into the property and found the pilot light lit, the bottom floor reeked of gas and made us all very concerned for our safety. We shut off the valve, opened windows, and aired out the house. There is a carbon monoxide sensor downstairs but I'm not sure it's working as I can't imagine a safe way to run that fireplace with no venting. It definitely should not have been left on between rentals.
