First, I will say that this is a beautiful historic house that has been redone nicely. Very cozy feel with a nice comfy king size bed. The second bedroom is cute with games on the wall. Decent size bathroom. Everything was pretty clean. Nice size deck with plenty of seating, grill and a table. Note, if it rains the only cover outside is over the hot tub. The only sounds you hear is nature, besides an occasional car. This place is absolutely serene. Although it rained most of our trip, we got to hear a bear on the mountain side one night. We saw a rabbit running down the road and hung out with a turtle, saw tons of birds and butterflies too.There are a few other houses on the dead end road, everyone seemed kind and waved. I would be careful if you have bad knees, as the step to get inside both doors of the house are tall. The hot tub took 24 hours to heat up, so if you like it hot, I'd set it upon arrival. I recommend going past the house and turning around to park, as the driveway is narrow. We enjoyed the fire pit on our one dry night, there was plenty of wood. If you like solitude, you'll like it in the area. You're about thirty to fourty minutes from a city, Burnsville and Spruce Pine being the bigger two. There are some country stores around, but everything is a hike through winding mountain rds, so plan accordingly. Beautiful stunning views all around the area. Blessed to have gotten to stay here. The owner is blessed to own this piece of Gods masterpiece.
