This particular property was at the very top of the hills and so, the view was great. Enough rooms for friends and family, too. The access to the club house for a hot tub was another thing we enjoyed.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you loved the balcony views and found the space comfortable for your group. The location truly is perfect for enjoying all that the area has to offer, from Tweetsie Railroad to those fantastic local restaurants. We'd absolutely love to host you again on your next visit. Safe travels!
Great condo. Was very clean, furniture was in good condition, had everything we needed. Deck has a great view. Only thing for us was the bed was very firm, almost hard. Some may like it, but we had difficulty sleeping on it.
The location was perfect. Close to everything we wanted to do.
Very steep, windy mountain roads to get to this condo but with clear road it wasn't a problem at all; snow and ice even rain would change that quickly. The pool was far. We had to actually drive out of the community to the main road and back into another part of the community. That was not expected and quiet a pain.
The condo was clean and comfy. The master bedroom stayed cold when the rest of the place was warm; turning up the heat to get the master room comfortable made the other room unbearable so we used an extra blanket. Only the master bedroom and main area have a tv. Overall a great stay.
Our family decided to take a mini-vacation to the mountains of NC. After the first 5 minutes of arriving in the condo I was already planning my next stay. The property was clean, decorated beautifully and the furniture and beds were comfortable. The owners are proud App State fans and supporters, we enjoyed all the Mountaineer touches from throws to lamps to helmets and even coasters.
The view from the balcony was absolutely magnificent! Booked at the last minute (about 1 week) before leaving. Could only find 1 listing online for a 3 bedroom unit at a Resort which is what we wanted. Choose this unit because it was available for our dates. Would definitely stay at this resort again for the view and their cleanliness. However, would not book this unit again (482-RL 1) because it was dated and in much need of some modernization and more quality and comfortable furniture and beds! The couch did not sit well and the beds didn’t sleep the best either. Very thankful though that I was able to book something at the last minute that accommodated everyone and provided us the best Mountain view ever!
Loved the cozy den and the beautiful view from the deck. Had everything we needed in the condo. Close to Valle Crucis, Banner elk, Blowing Rock and Boone. We had a blast at the nearby Wilderness Alpine Coaster. We would definitely stay at this condo again!

Thanksgiving Vacation
We had a marvelous time! The condo was absolutely perfect! The condo was very clean. We were close enough to participate in local activities (shopping, hiking, etc.) but we mainly enjoyed just relaxing in the condo. I cooked every meal and found that I had pretty much everything I needed (only suggestion: purchase some more silverware. There was a limited supply of spoons). We enjoyed all of the board games provided by the owner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this condo to others!
