We absolutely loved the seclusion and Mountain View’s. It was awesome that the property was pet friendly. Our dog got to join us for Christmas. The house was everything we wanted and more. From the outdoor fireplace to the hot tub, we enjoyed just being at the property. I put a one star for the skiing only because we were not there to ski and it was an unseasonably warm Christmas. But I would imagine getting to the slopes with HWY 74 being very accessible from the property. I wanted to thank Steve, the owner for outstanding communications and support throughout the entire process. We will definitely recommend the property to others. Hopefully we might get back there for some Trout fishing.

The property is beautiful and the most well stocked of any property I have ever stayed at. The owner was wonderful to communicate with. There was an issue with receiving the link for access to the property but once we got a signal the owner responded within minutes. I will add that getting the cabin is sketchy but once you get there the views are well worth the drive. Wonderful size of the property for a large family esp for holidays. Would def rent this property again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. 1. The drive to the house is challenging. It is about 30 min of mildly windy roads (very well paved) with poor cell signal. The owner included EXCELLENT instructions on how to reach the house without a signal. He warned me that the property does not show up on GPS maps but I later found that it shows up on Waze and that Waze can work without a cell signal. This made the the final stretch of a mile or so much easier (where the incline is greater). 2. The view is amazing. You can't really tell until you get to the house, but the rear porch has an awe-inspiring view of the mountains. There is also a clearing adjacent to the driveway that offers nearly 180 degrees of unobstructed views. 3. The house was in great shape and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us to stretch. The master bathroom was one of the better ones I've seen in a rental. 4. The house was stocked better than any rental house I've seen. We had more than enough paper towels, TP, and surprisingly had many spices and cooking instruments. The latter was key because it was not easy to get to the store (Ingles was 1 hour away). 5. We did a lot of activities at NOC. It also had the only restaurant that was close. It was about a 40 min drive from the house. 6. The AC unit on the main floor went out. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful in somehow getting this fixed over the holiday weekend. I really appreciated it.

Very large spacious house with lots of room for family and any guests. The septic system smelled terrible (especially in the mornings) when there was no breeze. Other times it was no issue. The smell was not good in the basement bedrooms at times. The cost for the cleaning fees seemed excessive in our experience from renting numerous properties. Very nice home but also the pet fee ($175), hot tub cleaning fee ($150) and regular cleaning fee of $300 ($625) seems excessive. Great views of the Natahala valley.
