This is the cleanest rental house we have ever stayed in! You can tell the cleaning people do a thorough job and this really sets the house apart from others. We did not cook in the kitchen but there were plenty of stocked utensils and cookware and many other amenities throughout. The photos in the listing represent the property well. The neighborhood is so cute and cozy and you get a lot of house for the price. The proximity to The Blue Ridge Parkway is also a plus. We would stay here again.
