Very nice home and accommodating owners.A lot of stairs for us old folks but at least we got our steps in The sunsets and Mountain View was amazing.The chipmunks were very entertaining.
Very well appointed, comfortable and centrally located to the parks and shopping. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the back deck was so relaxing. The host was great.

Hi Joel.
Thanks for the review. We apologize for the unexpected A/C issue. It was unfortunate that it needed to be replaced during your stay but hopefully the two comped days and gift card for dining helped make your stay a little better. Safe travels home.

The home was clean, warm and welcoming! The decor tied right in to a mountain retreat. The Mountain View was spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back in the future.
Very nice house, well appointed, convenient to all WNC attractions from Asheville, Blue Ridge P'kway, WCU!! View from the deck is as advertised, SPECTACULAR!! Private, great spot!
The views are as advertised (which is the most important thing), beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Close enough to town while still feeling secluded, very well stocked kitchen and what seemed like new mattresses on the beds.
What a much needed 3 day respite. Most importantly, the sunsets were superb and I spent most evenings on the porch swing gazing out.The house is tastefully decorated with updated comfy sofa and bed.I was only disappointed that there is no vacancy in late October because I am ready to return.

Thank you for the great review. So glad you enjoyed your stay. I wish we had an opening in October but that fills up quick. Hopefully you'll be able to return another time.
We had a very nice stay with refreshingly cool weather.

This is a great cozy home. The house has everything you need and it was spotless. We enjoyed the view and many birds including hummingbirds at the feeders.The property is about 15 minutes from downtown Waynesville but feels much more rural up on the mountain. The neighborhood is quiet and the roads are paved so vehicle type isn’t an issue. We really enjoyed our stay and also the towns of both Waynesville and Sylva, the latter about 30 minutes away towards the Smokies.

Thank you for the great review. So glad you enjoyed your stay!
This was a beautiful home with a beautiful view on a beautiful piece of property. Home was very clean, well stocked and lacked nothing. Would absolutely consider staying here again.
Home was beautiful. Views from front porch were spectacular. Very nice location, close to everything you would want to see. Loved the town of Waynesville. Would recommend.
Gorgeous views, but still close to Waynesville. Very peaceful, love having a spot where we can bring our furry family members! Saw lots of wildlife, deer, turkeys, an otter and lots of birds hang out on the deck!

Thanks for the great review! Glad you enjoyed your stay in Waynesville.
the house was perfect for our needs, cozy, comfortable, and near town. My wife worked from home while we were there, via interwebs (great Wifi). our pooch loved roaming around the field and playing frisbee.

Thank you for the nice review. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
property was exactly as described, quiet neighborhood. Other houses close by but not too close so still felt mostly private to us. The view was spectacular. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for the great review. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
This was the perfect property for our family of four to relax. The views were amazing. The drive up the mountain was very different from Florida but nothing we couldn’t handle! Would definitely stay here again.
