Views were spectacular. Great space for a family with three generations. There was room for everyone to spend time together and spread out comfortably. We enjoyed our stay! Plenty of parking.
The location was perfect and plenty of room for our family get together. Communication with the host was excellent and very accommodating. Everyone wants to come 1again next year.Thanks VRBO
Beautiful mountain home with spectacular views! The house was absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The road to the home was easy to navigate, much easier than we had expected for the property's location. Natalie was friendly, helpful and always quick to respond. She was a fantastic host!! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!
The place was perfect for us - 4 couples. Natalie was an extremely responsive host! The porch with its view was breathtaking. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We will be back!
Great house and great location! The house was plenty for 8 of us with room for more. The mountain views were outstanding. As a bonus, there is a house on the bottom of the road that sells fresh eggs!
Everything about this house was perfect!!!! Everyone had their own space and place to relax. The view is such a dream! We will definitely come back. Maybe try every year! It was sad saying goodbye to the house.
Awesome mountain home with plenty of space for our family of 5 adults. Loved all the decks and the fire pit - fantastic views of the mountains from every vantage point. The location provides a multitude of outdoor activities as well as easy access to several quaint NC/N Georgia towns for shopping and dining. Highly recommended, hope to return next year!
Fantastic view and central to activities. The mountain towns in the area were very nice with restaurants and pubs. Natalite, the owner, was very helpful and responsive.
We have stayed here 10 out of the last 12 years and find this to be a perfect place to stay. One thing I do miss the ceiling fan in the master bed room. Plenty of parking and round to enjoy.
We had an amazing stay at this mountain house with friends and our two babies! The views were absolutely stunning — every window felt like a postcard. The location was perfect for both relaxing and exploring nearby trails. The host’s communication was excellent, making check-in and our entire stay smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this spot for families or groups looking for a peaceful getaway with incredible scenery!
Wonderful house and location in the mountains for a long weekend with friends. Wish we could have stayed longer. Wonderful views from the decks and firepit area. Would stay here again.
The view was amazing! The amenities were perfect for our family trip. Three couples stayed with two kids and it was a fantastic set-up where you could have your own privacy but also have enough space to gather together and not feel cramped.
