6 Mi to Grandfather Mtn: Lake Cottage w/ Deck

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re so glad the cottage had everything you needed to feel comfortable during your stay, whether you were cooking, working, or simply enjoying your time in the area. And we love that our book collection brought a smile to your face! We’ve always hoped it would add a little extra charm to the space. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area! 😊

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're so glad you found the property comfortable and clean. We also appreciate you mentioning the outdoor furniture. We apologize that it was a bit dusty. Outdoor furniture can collect pollen and dust quickly, especially during certain seasons, but we'll be sure to give it extra attention for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

We're so glad you and your friends enjoyed your time together and that the deck was a highlight of your stay! It's wonderful to hear the cottage made for such a great gathering spot. We appreciate you letting us know about the oven and light, and we'll be sure to take a look at those. Thank you for sharing such kind words about our cute little mountain cottage!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear you found the cottage clean, comfortable, and well-stocked, and that the location worked well for you. We appreciate your note about the rustic feel — we aim to provide a cozy, cottage-style mountain experience and will continue to keep that balance in mind. It’s great to know your pets enjoyed it too! We'd love to welcome you back anytime.

Thank you for the kind words about the property and our communication, and for sharing your feedback. We're sorry the detached second bedroom felt inconvenient—it's an intentional feature of the layout, and while many guests appreciate the added privacy, we understand it can come down to personal preference. We're also sorry the living room furniture wasn't to your comfort preference; the chair is actually a quality Italian leather piece we chose for its character, though comfort is certainly subjective. We appreciate you flagging the cookware and will take a look at the pieces you mentioned to make sure everything is in good condition. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that the cottage felt cozy and welcoming right from the start — that’s exactly what we hope for our guests. It means a lot to know that the little details, notes, and organization made you smile and helped you feel at home.We’re also glad your dog enjoyed the stay and that the fenced yard was convenient for you. And how special that you got to experience snow — it really does add a bit of magic to the cottage! ❄️Thank you again for staying with us. You were a pleasure to host, and we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime.

From the owner: "Thank you for your review and comments. We are so happy you and your pup enjoyed your stay! We have addressed the concerns you mentioned with our cleaning staff and appreciate you giving us this feedback. Hope you will be back for another mountain retreat!"

Thanks so much for your review and feedback! We are so pleased you were able to enjoy the July 4 holiday in the mountains at our cottage. We would love to have you back for another stay!

Hi Carol, we take it seriously when guests let us know that we missed the mark, and after sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to clarify the following: - The property experienced a 90-minute area-wide power outage that was beyond our control. We're sorry for the inconvenience it caused, but we're unclear why a hotel stay was necessary, as power was restored that evening. - The guest welcome book at the property includes a map of the community and detailed information about navigating Linville Land Harbor. There is also ample signage within the community to guide guests.- As is common, we provide a starter amount of toilet paper and paper towels, including backup rolls. There are backup rolls provided, but we encourage guests to reach out if additional supplies are needed during their stay. - The trash was picked up the day before your arrival, so the bin should have been empty. We apologize if there was any oversight and wish you had contacted the Guest Contact so we could have addressed this or any other concern immediately. - The property photos on our listing accurately represent the home, and no changes have been made since they were taken.We have worked very hard to provide a clean and comfortable place for guests to enjoy and will continue to do all we can to provide the best possible stay for our guests!

We're so glad the closable dog door was a hit! It's great to hear that made things easier for your stay. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope it helps other traveling pet owners feel confident booking with us.
