Hubby and I were on our first vacation in years after taking care elderly parent. The house was clean and we enjoyed our time away. Would definitely go again.
6 / 10Average·May 2024
Mill Ridge is a very pretty mountain community. The common grounds are nicely maintained with small ponds and river views. The house does not currently look as nice as photos online. We cleared fallen tree limbs along pathway to front door and the yard was a mess. Had to sweep and tidy up front and back decks. The interior was clean but not very inviting. The 5 cup coffee maker worked part of the time. The master bed was comfortable, didn’t use other bed so don’t know about that one. We still enjoyed our stay in Banner Elk and surrounding areas. (Didn’t have any communication with property management so gave 3 stars for that)
