Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at High Hopes to enjoy the 4th of July in the mountains and had a wonderful time. We were able to see fireworks at Lake Junaluska on Friday night and at the Maggie Valley Festival Grounds on Saturday night. The home is conveniently located to many things but also feels like you have the whole valley to yourself. It was clean and had everything we needed and more. The view is incredible from the porch, the couch and every window. The drive up is steep but paved and not a problem. The tv and internet were fast and easy to use. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils, dishes and a large grill is located on the porch. We weren't there long enough to use the game room downstairs but it would be so fun for a family! We hope to return to High Hopes and would highly recommend it for a short or long mountain getaway.

This was the second time we stayed at the High Hopes house and we had a great weekend again. The location is perfect for riding in the area and the house is very relaxing at the end of the day to sit out on the deck with friends and enjoy a beautiful view of Gods creation. We hope to be returning next year.

We had a great time. Main drawback is the bedroom on the first level (where the pool table is) was too cold for someone to sleep there

We've rented dozens of homes in this area over the past 30 years. We usually rent much higher up for a great view. This house has a beautiful view while still being a short drive up a paved mountain road. The covered wrap-around porch was a big plus, as was the large gas grill and the strong wi-fi. But.. beware the almost nonexistent upstairs AC. It was too warm to sleep up there. The TV in great room did not work: directions were to watch it via Roku, but there was no Roku. We were able to stream Netflix. There's an odd mix of updated vs outdated finishes, furnishings and appliances. Refrigerator had trouble keeping all of our things cool and there was no working water line. That meant there was no way to make ice and no filtered in-door water. The steps to the basement are precariously placed next to the kitchen and the handrail doesn't run all the way up. I wouldn't want a small child in this house. Great potential, just needs some repairs and TLC.
