The house is wonderful for a large group. We had 10 adults and 8 children. Plenty of spaces for everyone. The home was clean, kitchen well equipped, beds and linens comfortable and easy to get to other places during the day. WiFi is weak, so if you need to do work, it may be an issue. They provide some welcome products ( dish soap, dishwasher tablets, laundry tablets) but you should bring your own especially with a large group. Also, additional trash bags. We always bring paper products ;plates, cups, napkins, paper towels, which we used. The outdoor fire pit was fantastic. The home has several bath tubs for small children to bathe in. The large walk in closets were great for port a cribs and babies. They have 2 sets of washing machines/ dryer and 2 dishwashers. We loved our stay!

Beautiful home and location.

This home was breathtaking and offered everything we could ask for there. Great location Wish check in could be earlier than 5pm. Basically paying for a full night you don’t even get to use the property. Most check in is at 4 but the homeowners did not allow you to check in before 5 which was disappointing

Be careful what you ask the renters to do. Because we had to put the sheets on the bunk room beds, we found food (chicken nuggets, fries, & grapes), candy wrappers, and underwater under the bunk mattresses. There was also a large yellow stain on the carpet that looked like vomit. Family came in late who had to clean the bunk room themselves before they were able to make the beds and sleep. However, they took photos of everything and we reported it the next morning to the rental company. They sent a cleaning crew who vacuumed and tried to clean the stain. The rest of the home was clean. However, we were a family of 20 and needed to use the bunk room for adults, so it was less than ideal.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. We're very sorry you found food and a stain in the bunk room and that your group had to clean before using the beds, but we're glad our team was able to send a cleaning crew quickly. We will review our turnover checklist and remind housekeeping of the importance to check under mattresses and for stains to prevent this in the future. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and our Customer Care team will be in touch with you directly. - Blue Ridge

Wonderful property

Beautiful property, overall we had an awesome experience but for being a group of 16 people we would’ve expected the garbage to be dumped daily, we called and they finally came out the day after we called at 9pm. Also there was a lot of HUGE ants in the kitchen when we first arrived and towards the end of the stay as well. But everything else was amazing. Beautiful house.
