10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2022
Wonderful house with great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains right from the elevated deck. Rustic furnishings with lots of leather furniture & bear-oriented decorations. Relaxing hot tub on the deck overlooking the mountains. Pool table in basement was fun during any downtime. Central to area attractions in quiet neighborhood. We really loved our stay!
