This is an amazing place full of sports memorabilia that made it feel extra special and personal. My favorite thing in the sports den was the framed report about Michigan getting beat. But I digress... everything was perfect, and as represented. We thought most aspects of the home were better than the pics had led us to expect. The house even smelled really good. The view is really so much better than expected! Nothing was missing from the cooking we did in the kitchen, beds were comfortable, ample almost-flat parking, we heard lots of birds, before we arrived, the host called to see if we needed any help getting to the house, he's so sweet! This was a good base for a carriage ride in Blowing Rock, a day of "mining" in Hiddenite, and for just spending many hours staring at the view in the daytime, and the stars and fireflies at night. We never even turned on a TV except 1 person looking for a sporting event one evening. The checkout process was reasonable and easy. One minor thing, the pics showed some padded outdoor furniture, but although there was some, it was jumbled and off to the side, looking too dirty to use, but overall, a masterpiece of a house & a view!
