Perfect Vacation
This home was the perfect for our family vacation! There was more than enough space and room for everyone. Plenty of activities to do like swimming in the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, shooting pool, competing in ping pong, watching movies, playing board games and rocking in the rocking chairs on the deck taking in the beautiful mountain views! I can't say enough great things about this home. I will point out that there is no exaggeration when the description says the grocery store is a 40 minute drive. I don't consider that a negative though because we enjoyed being in the middle of nowhere with nature, peace, and quiet. We purchased most of our groceries before arriving. I recommend this home, especially if you want to just enjoy relaxing fellowship with family. We will definitely visit again!

Beautiful location
Beautiful location far away from the hustle and bustle. An incredible amount of space. Good stargazing when the sky is clear. There were two things that could have made our stay better: 1. The king-sized beds were worn out, and we didn't sleep well on them. The doubles in the upstairs bedroom were much better (we switched to those the second night).2. Mouse poop was found in and around a basement bed (nasty, but this is out in the country so weirdly I'm less upset about this than the poor mattress quality).

Great home with lots of room.
Home was as described with ample room. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The only downfall is the amount of time it takes to get to activities and stores, although this is in the listing.

Escape to the Mountains
We had a wonderful relaxing stay up in the mountains of North Caroline. Very peaceful and quiet, everything that you could possibly need was in the house. Tricky drive through the mountains if you aren't used to it, but well worth the view. Short ride in miles (not time due to the winding roads) to town, with restaurants and a good grocery store. This house would easily fit multiple families.

Beautiful Secluded Home
We had great time on our vacation. The house is beautiful and updated. It accommodated our 2 families and 2 dogs well. We really enjoyed the salt water pool and spent every day in it. Just a heads up for future guests, It does take about 40 minutes to get into town. Both families had a fantastic, memorable time.

Amazing Secluded Spot
This property was above and beyond what we anticipated. Very well kept and maintained. Far bigger than we expected… which we didn’t mind at all! The pool and hot tub were extremely nice! I had a couple questions at the beginning of our stay and the lady I texted always responded promptly and courteously! Loved our stay here!!

INCREDIBLE!
If I had to summarize the property in one word-it would be QUALITY. From the wonderfully comfortable mattresses to the fully stocked gourmet kitchen (one of 2 kitchens)-this home has it all! Our stay was for a 're-charge' family weekend. However, with the sheer size of the property, it could be used for much more than a 7 person family retreat. From swimming in the pool, to my 4 year old grandson 'hiking' through the forest looking for a bear :)-we had a great relaxing stay. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this property. While the inside of the home was incredible-the true gem was the numerous porches (screened and not screened) that provided a panoramic view. Sitting up high in the cool air-listening to the rain shower, was one of my favorite things this weekend. The home obviously was designed with the majestic view in mind-as the windows shower you with light and provide the breathtaking views. I could go on and on...STAY HERE-YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
