The house was very spacious and well built and very functional. The host was very responsive and quick to answer questions and gave a great list of things to do and places to eat! 15 minutes from Biltmore and really central to the sightseeing and hiking. There are tons on trails for all levels of health! Drive up to house was pretty steep but it is paved all the way to the house. If we go back we would stay here again!

Lovely property, clean, well stocked and accessible to many things. 13 minutes to Bilmore. Yard was excellent for pets and completely enclosed and secure. Owners are very nice and close if you do have problems arise. Would definitely recommend and will be back if we need a place to stay in the area again.

We had a wonderful stay at the High Windy! House was clean, close to everything we wanted to do, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Rodney the host was very friendly and responsive to all my inquiries. My dogs had a wonderful time on the back patio and yard. The only thing I was nervous about was the road to get up to the house is very steep and small, however that is probably because we are from FL and not used to driving up in a mountain. We would definitely stay at the High Windy again! Thanks so much for the wonderful stay!

We had an amazing stay! The home was perfect. Loved having 2 levels with great accommodations. Beyond comfortable. The area was great. The home is on a small mountain with gorgeous views. Plenty to do in the area and just down the road from the Blue Ridge Parkway and great hikes. We will definitely be booking again soon! Hosts were so lovely and communicated with us when we needed them.

Absolutely a 10/10. The pictures just don’t do this home justice. We had a very relaxing 4 day retreat here. The property is close to everything while giving you a very secluded feeling. We were surprised at the size of the home as well, much larger than anticipated. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. We’ll be staying again for sure!

So inviting & comfortable. We spent most of the time on the covered (deck) porch with ceiling fans in the butterfly forest. Adorable home with high-end finishes. The pics don’t do it justice. So close to town, yet far enough away. 4 stars

This house is perfect. Not too big or too small. It is secluded with an amazing back porch. Even with temperatures in the 90’s the temperature stayed 75 on the porch. Amazing views of the mountains and we saw bears from the porch everyday. We had everything we needed and the host is great. We will be coming back in the winter and falls months.
