My husband and I chose this house because of it's ability to accommodate our family of six, plus two additional friends. Rentals for 8 people are hard to come by at this price point and we weren't sure what to expect because we've never used VRBO or anything similar. The house was clean, tidy, and met all of our needs, with plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets, in addition to large cookware and enough plates, cups, and silverware to feed a small army. There were also simple things included that were a pleasant surprise, like cotton balls, q-tips, shampoo and conditioner, hair dryer, and a flat iron. There was a book of house rules by the front door, which clearly outlined the expectations of the renter, and we found this very helpful. We used both sofa beds, which were simple to set up and put away each day. We had a wonderful time by the camp fire and the view from the hot tub was beautiful! If we are ever in Blue Ridge again, we would definitely rent this house!
