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.

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!

We loved our stay at High Windy! Very nice house in a secluded area, but still close to everything. The kitchen had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The porches were the BEST for relaxing and visiting with family. We would definitely stay here 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!
