Beautiful location with a wonderful and kind host!
Incredible 360 mountain top views! Perfect place, everything you need, with gas fireplace to make the stay warm and welcoming. Great response from owner on any questions or issues. We snow tubed at Hawks Nest just down the street and had a perfect vacation! Will come back!
House was great, very cozy and warm feel, sleeps 10, good size kitchen, primarily bedroom is huge, upstairs "loft" was amazing, views were incredible...overlooking Sugar mountain ski hill, host communication was excellent. We even had a crazy snowstorm when we were there and the roads were plowed every 4 hours. Definitely A.

Beautiful home at the top of a mountain. Spectacular views.
Dwight, the host, was great! Reached out preemptively before the trip to make sure we knew how to check in and reached out while we were there to make sure everything was ok. The views were absolutely incredible! The house was great too! Loved the fireplace, cool upstairs room and great primary bedroom!
Clean and comfortable with a beautiful view. Quiet neighborhood at the top of a mountain. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Wish we could have stayed longer - would definitely like to return for a longer stay!
We arrived in the evening and the home was easy to enter. Upon walking in, we were greeted with a lovely and charming, tastefully decorated home.Everything was well stocked and clean and the view was amazing! We will definitely return.
We really enjoyed our stay and it was perfect for the graduation. Easy access to App State. Spectacular view! Right up the road from Hawks Nest where we have been and enjoyed in the winter. This trip we enjoyed a hike on the Otter Falls trail, 1 mile from the house. The home is lovely and outfitted with anything a family would need or want.
Absolutely amazing views.
Owners have done a great job with the place. Everything was as pictured and all the furniture were in great shape. Everything was in working order and clean. We had a fantastic time. Thanks for hosting us!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please think of us again on your next stay to the high country.
The property was amazing. The owner so nice, he called prior to our visit. He gave me his personal cell phone number in case I needed anything. The house had everything you would have in your own home. My family and I absolutely loved it and will be returning.
The home/cabin was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The windy road up was worth it for the magnificent view! Such a nice neighborhood to walk in as well. We appreciated dealing with the owner, who thoughtfully called us beforehand to check in. All we had to do was buy a few groceries and we were all set. We highly recommend this property!

Thank you for your kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please think of us again on your next stay to the high country.
This place is wonderful. The view is breathtaking. At the very top of Seven Devils. So far we have been coming here only in the winter time, but we can't wait to come during fall to see all the leaves change colors. The owner is very responsive, very nice. Can't wait to go back.
The cabin was perfect for our group of 5, with room (& beds) to spare. We enjoyed to outdoor activities near by along with the golf courses & shopping. The host made sure to check in with us prior to arrival & made sure to pass along all needed information along with a few other details. Spectacular views of 4th of July fireworks from the back deck! Hopefully, we can come again.

Thank you so much for staying with us. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come again!
We came up for a week. Wanted to do some skiing, shopping and just relax. We accomplished all of that. The house was outstanding. Everything we needed. Plenty of room. Amazing view. Definitely highly recommended. We will definitely use these guys again. Thank you.
Recommended. It’s nicely decorated, comfortable, and the view is wonderful. The owner is extremely responsive to questions and concerns. Keep in mind that the main deck is located down a flight of stairs, though there are two smaller decks outside the master bedroom and living room. Getting to this mountaintop house requires driving on twisty mountain roads.
