10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This is a wonderful accommodation for a large family. Privacy is provided via the eight bedrooms and adjoining eight bathrooms. The large kitchen had all the dishes, glasses, and preparation utensils we needed. The large dining and adjoining sitting room provided ample eating space. The mountains views were decked out in fall colors. The nearby winery was a great place to enjoy fine wine and allow the children to climb rocks and walk stone paths around the pond. The mooing of the nearby cattle reminded us of our days on the farm. Grandfather Mountain State Park and the Sugar Mountain Oktoberfest were added treats to our stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2024
Property was overall amazing, only issue was one of the fireplaces did not work and could not be fixed when we were there. Would have liked that to be assessed and fixed ahead of time.
And took a while for the technician to come out yo assess the issue.
Otherwise though it was beautiful and would highly recommend this property and location.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2022
This property was very spacious and clean. We found the beds to be super comfortable. We found all the kitchen appliances to be in good working order. We had plenty of dishes, plates and utensils to serve our prepared meals.
Our group would definitely rent this home again.
