Great place, enjoyed our stay

The place is just as pictured, clean and comfortable! Loved eating meals in the breakfast nook with an amazing view of the mountains! We hiked Grandfather Mountain nearby (30-45 min.

Great Stay at a Great Property

Best vacation rental I've ever booked. House has phenomenal views from the back porch; it's nicely decorated and well equipped; was exceptionally clean. It's off the beaten path in a quiet area, but conveniently located to grocery stores. I'll probably rent the property again next year.

Amazing Mountain Retreat

We loved this home in the mountains of NC so much I am hesitant to leave this review because it will be completely booked up once the secret is out. This home is perfect for a large family, is extremely well-equipped, has incredible mountain views, and the cost was very reasonable. It’s also minute from the Blue Ridge Parkway. We will definitely go back! Thank you for a great vacation!

Beautiful, comfortable home. Easy access to the property and plenty of parking space. Wonderful views from the deck. Very quiet, we loved it. We are already talking about coming back. The host was very helpful and directed us to places visit. We were here for our sons wedding. We all agreed the people here are very friendly.

Here’s a warm, heartfelt review you can use or tweak:---We stayed here just before Christmas, and it was such a special experience. The house is beautiful with plenty of space for everyone to relax and be together. We spent our time doing puzzles, painting, and playing games, but most of all, we simply enjoyed being together—and that made it unforgettable.One of our favorite touches was that the house was lightly decorated for Christmas. It added an extra layer of warmth and made the whole stay feel even more special. This home truly offered the perfect setting to slow down, connect, and make meaningful memories. We’re so grateful for our time here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to gather and create lasting moments.
Water color creations
Sunsets were beautiful
The kitchen was very well stocked to make meals for my large family.

Easy access on a paved road. Large home with spacious rooms and large deck . We enjoyed our morning coffee sitting on the deck bird watching.

Wonderful house with wonderful view

What a wonderful location and property! Lila was a pleasure to work with on arrangements and responded quickly to our one issue. The house is fabulous. Beautifully decorated, very comfortable beds - even the murphy bed downstairs, lots of towels. Kitchen was a pleasure to work in - so well equipped with pots, pans, hot pads etc.. AC and water all worked great. Love all the lighting options. Thanks for the local history books too! And you can't beat the back deck with it views of the valley and mountains beyond - gorgeous sunsets! Thoroughly enjoyed meals in Spruce Pine. The mountain biker in our group got a great workout!
