8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
My husband, our dog ans I spent a night here on our way from New York to Asheville and really enjoyed the location. The tall straight-up staircase (no landing) from the front door to the living area could be tough for some people or older dogs. Just a heads-up. Also, if you are bringing a dog, especially one with longish hair, bring a pair of scissors along, because burrs are unavoidable, at least they were during our late October stay.The home has what's needed for a comfortable stay. I'm not sure where the microwave is, we didn’t find one, but there is a toaster oven in the otherwise well-equipped basic kitchen area.The house is a great homebase for enjoying the surrounding resort offerings and the awe-inspiring mountains. We loved being in the midst of it all.

We enjoyed our brief stay at this comfortable property. Liked the decor. Very friendly, responsive host. Would definitely stay again. The mountain scenery in mid-October was spectacular.

Place was very clean and easy to find. We were just a short ride to the resort area where we ate at The Edge. The views were amazing!
