This is a beautiful home. The kitchen is well stocked, ample starter supplies are provided. The beds are comfortable and owners provide extra pillow /blankets in the closets. The neighborhood is beautifully landscaped and roads are maintained and well marked. We would book this house again.

Great home to accommodate multiple families and sleeping arrangements. Really enjoyed the ability for each adult couple to have their own room while kids could bunk and enjoy separate quarters. The common space was large enough to accommodate everyone. Awesome time.

The home is gorgeous and relatively private, you wouldn’t know there’s another cabin next door unless you’re out front. The interior is big enough for a large family or a group of friends. A great area close to many things and easy to get to local attractions.
- Lacey, Posted: 01/27/2023
Pictures are accurate. Plenty of space to spread out. Larger living room area with plenty of seating for everyone. Kitchen has all the cookware and dishes you will need. Only complaint is there was low water pressure everywhere. Would recommend this property for large, multi-generational gatherings. We were a group of 11. 3 couples and kids liked the bunkbeds!

This spacious home was just what we were looking for in a family vacation for our group of 11! We enjoyed using the hot tub, indoor and outdoor pools and hiking the short trail loop across the street. The home is in a convenient location to all the attractions we wanted to visit during the week. We would definitely come here again!

Gorgeous home, all of the amenities you could want, the hot-tub we enjoyed each evening and the property grounds were stunning! Hiked around the neighborhood and it is a short drive to Grandfather Mountain . The Grandfather Mountain winery is right down the road from the home….8 min drive. Incredible wine, cider and live music all on the water!!! We had a blast and will be back!!

This was the perfect get-away house for our family, who came from as far away as California and Florida, Tennessee and Georgia to meet for a family reunion. Our rental house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, silverware, and small appliances. It even had a coffee grinder! There were several great places to congregate and socialize -- one deck had a hot tub, one deck had a big table and chairs for card playing or morning coffee, the main floor had a huge kitchen table and comfortable sofas, and a lower deck had a game table. I would definitely rent this house again!

Perfect house layout, kitchen supplies, plenty of TVs, private hot tub. Large bedrooms and space to spread out for a family gathering. Cons: maintenance dept doesn’t have special light bulbs on hand when replacements are required, housekeeping needs to dust and clear spiderwebs more thoroughly, patio fireplace by hot tub not functional, could use more dish towels, some bath towels smell sour/mildewed.

We had a great stay! There were 12 of us and we were very comfortable in the spacious and very clean house. Large amounts of storage space for groceries. We enjoyed the large living room layout with a beautiful view with large windows to really see around. The hot tub at the house seats about 6-8 comfortably. Having 2 deck areas was wonderful also. The community gym area and pool area are a nice layout and easy to access. We will definitely come back and stay again!

We stayed at this home with 2 others families and the homes was perfect! It was clean and we had space to play games, eat meals, plenty of bathrooms & beds to sleep & room to gear up for snowboarding/skiing adventures with 12 people! The location was great for us to be able to take our pre-teens & teens to Sugar, Beech & Appalachian! The house was equipped with all the basics...pots & pans, towels etc. The only things we brought with us was extra trash bags, paper towels, paper plates and napkins. The house had all of this but with eating almost all meals there we went through a lot of paper products. The rental Company Blue Ridge was AMAZING and very responsive to any correspondence we had before our arrival. Would definitely stay at this location again!

The cabin was just as pictured and described. We rented it for a family vacation with two of my brothers and their families. This was for the New Year Vocation 2021. We have 4 nights of stay in the clouds. The cabin had everything we needed. We are from Florida, and started in 2012 like a family tradition to celebrate New Year in cold weather, somewhere far away from the Sunshine Stare, In TN, VA. WV, etc. Since that time we rented more then 7 different cabin / houses, in different states but this was the only one which have something special. Have heating/cooling system to each floor witch own thermostat. There was 3 floors, our family was very comfortable with possibility to adjust the temperature to each floor individual temperature when need it. Glad to stay here and recommend the property to anyone. Very Clean. Very Spacious. Very quiet location. Very Safe neighborhood (gated community). Best hot tub. 3 fireplaces. A lot more things which makes this cabin/house different
