We enjoyed our brief stay at this comfortable property. Liked the decor. Very friendly, responsive host. Would definitely stay again. The mountain scenery in mid-October was spectacular.

Great little place with plenty of room

Place was very clean and easy to find. We were just a short ride to the resort area where we ate at The Edge. The views were amazing!

My husband, our dog ans I spent a night here on our way from New York to Asheville and really enjoyed the location. The tall straight-up staircase (no landing) from the front door to the living area could be tough for some people or older dogs. Just a heads-up. Also, if you are bringing a dog, especially one with longish hair, bring a pair of scissors along, because burrs are unavoidable, at least they were during our late October stay.The home has what's needed for a comfortable stay. I'm not sure where the microwave is, we didn’t find one, but there is a toaster oven in the otherwise well-equipped basic kitchen area.The house is a great homebase for enjoying the surrounding resort offerings and the awe-inspiring mountains. We loved being in the midst of it all.
