Fairytale

This place was beyond comfortable it was luxurious! I could not have asked for a better getaway spot. It’s secluded and beautiful, the house was so clean and accommodating. The pool with the waterfall and the hot tub was like a private resort. There’s plenty of lounging porches and fireplaces and even a fire pit. My friends and I are already planning to return. Thank you so much!

Perfect off grid wooded homestead with creek

Second time our family enjoyed this location. Of course the indoor pool with waterfall and sauna was a hit. We loved the fireplaces both gas and wood burning. The large kitchen was perfect for many adults to work in together at the same time-one of our family pleasures. Loved having a pool table, ping pong table and foosball table to use. It is a Hidden Cove “gem”

Amazing Weekend

Our family got together for a long weekend and couldn't get enough of this property. It was so peaceful to be that far off the beaten path, but have all the amenities of this awesome house. The kids loved the pool and game room and adults loved being able to hike and enjoy the many outdoor seating areas. This place is truly a hidden Gem!!

Early Mountain Christmas

Amazing adventure for 7 adults. Everything was beautiful and spacious. It was as if we came across an abandoned resort! Stunning grotto pool with waterfall, large hot tub, and large game room. Infinite number of private areas to relax. Wood and gas burning fireplaces. Will definitely come back!

Spectacular pool and privacy!

My husband & I spent 5 days at this property and had an amazing time. It was a lot of house for two people but we enjoyed the privacy. The pool is amazing! We also enjoyed all the outdoor seating on the porches. We like to hike so exploring the 360+ acres was great. Although we didn't even scratch the surface. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook with. We would love to go back again.

Great time by all

Every summer we take a family trip involving three generations. This was our first time renting a home to do so. We had a great time at this property. The indoor swimming pool was wonderful. Plenty of spaces for individual quiet time but also for family gathering. We would highly recommend this location.

Family Get Together

This was an amazing place to gather our family for a late Christmas celebration. Family came from as far away as California and as close as Fairview. We had so much fun swimming, hiking, playing basketball and pool. The indoor pool was spectacular and very comfortable, even in February! We all decided it would be fun to come back in the spring or fall.

Mom's 80th Birthday and Mother's Day Celebration

Overall, very nice house and great weekend. Had an electricity issue when we first arrived, but got that resolved within an hour. However, fuse box should not be in a locked closet as our issue was a tripped circuit breaker.

The home was what I’ve imagined as my dream home.

Two days wasn’t enough time to enjoy the entire home. The house is spacious and beautiful. The inside heated pool/waterfall, balconies with fireplaces, and being secluded by nature was everyone’s favorite part of our stay. The river/creek was amazing, but we didn’t have enough time to experience the outdoors as much as I would’ve liked to. This is now my favorite location-best rental I’ve ever stayed at!

50th anniversary celebration

12 of us total stayed here - we were all delighted by the house itself, the pool, the landscape, the river, the rural privacy. It was was beautiful! The only reason we gave "cleanliness" a 4/5 was there were dead bugs and cobwebs EVERYWHERE around and on the outdoor seating areas, (wasp nests too!), and dirty sheets in one of the bedrooms. We just tossed those in the wash, and tried to wipe down the seating areas and all was well! Would definitely come back.

Great House

We loved the house, pool, and grounds. However, the hot tub was in need of service as it was yellow and foamy so we were unable to use. Upon arrival there was trash still in the trash cans and the floors were very dirty. The main kitchen should have been stocked better with dishes, pots/pans, and cooking utensils. The house is far away from the grocery and restaurants so cooking is very important and the kitchen should reflect that. Other than that it was a nice relaxing stay.

Beautiful home but it is isolated.

No real complaints about the home, it is beautiful! Great pool area, plenty of places to relax, kitchen is awesome and stocked with plenty of pots/dishes, etc. We noticed fruit flies and the management company responded in a timely manner with bait traps. The only real issue is that the home phones didn't work and unable to call out on any of our cell phones ( Verizon). We almost had a 911 issue which caused some concern but thankfully we ended up not needing it. There was basically no cell service the entire week we were there and the internet was pretty much nonexistent.

Truly a hidden cove

This is a magical home. Beautifully decorated and built. The indoor pool is not only an amenity but also a work of art. The home is off the grid but still has decent WiFi, might be a tad sketchy and not support heavy streaming but still had plenty of connection. I was more interested in connecting with nature. There’s a ton of hiking, kayaking, swimming, and basketball to keep one entertained. The home was very clean and large grounds impressively maintained. The home also had games, ping pong table, and a pool table. The home has good fully functional kitchens. But if you do want to eat out, eat local in Rutherfordton. Such as the copper penny grill. We also went disc golfing at Christian camp. Zip lining at The Gorge. Lake Lure is only 20 minutes and very beautiful but go to Rutherfordton for restaurants. We hope to visit again and bring our family. We very much appreciate the homeowners for sharing.
