This was a happy last min booking for my family and I. The home was Super clean, dog friendly, and well done with all the amenities any family would need. Easy check in and out. We appreciated the snacks and the generations of history on the walls. My dogs really enjoyed huge back yard!

We were long term guests - five weeks. When we're not RVing we stay in VRBO properties and I must say this was the most delightful ever. Huge yard, three (yup THREE) porches, three very comfortable bedrooms, well equipped kitchen (recently remodeled), responsive owners. This home has been in the family for many generations and each room had photos and newsclippings and memorabilia - the sort of thing we've always loved for our own home. Several things we didn't expect. First, we knew there was only one bathroom so being used to the convenience of two we thought this might be a drawback - nope. Turns out it's a big bathroom so sharing was doable and we managed just fine. Second, my husband and I love to play cards and talk yet enjoy some alone time in our respective dens at home. Turns out the dining room was perfect not just for the usual stuff but seated six comfortably when we had company and gave us the time and space to do our own thing with our laptops set up opposite each other. The electric fireplace was an unexpected prize. We spent several evenings cozily snuggled on the living room couch enjoying it and each other. So what if it wasn't a "real" fire? Coming from south Florida where there is rarely ever a need for a fireplace this one turned out to be a real treat. We would stay at this property again and recommend it to others - without hesitation. And did I mention how kind and responsive the owners were? I did? Well, then, it deserves to be said again! :)

This property is a total doll’s house - small but charming. Everything provided that you might need except food, though there was a bowl of snacks on the kitchen table to get you started! Beautiful scenery and refreshing, cool mountain air. Pet friendly with a huge yard to run and play.

This little cottage was full of charm and neat and clean! The hosts provided excellent communication and directions for where we could find what we needed. They provided lots of unexpected extras that made the stay feel like "home." Everything we needed was provided by the hosts...laundry detergent, softener sheets, stain spray (Shout!), zip lock baggies for snacks on the trail and more! We especially enjoyed the variety of local maps and books about local attractions and history. We hiked to 29 waterfalls over the weekend and the literature was helpful and informational. We truly enjoyed our stay and will recommend this property to others who wish to visit the western North Carolina mountains.

Great home and very accommodating. Wifi was powerful enough for myself and the young adults to work on their projects. One suggestion, even with with the top AC and a fan. The bottom level rooms had no ability to move air.

We loved this sweet farmhouse and will return next year! Just a note that the little drip coffee maker was not big enough, so we will bring one with us next year. It was so nice to bring our dog! We brought sheets for the furniture. This may be helpful to others: I am very sensitive to chemicals and perfume, so we unplugged the air freshener in the kitchen and aired out the house. It dissipated quickly. It didn’t occur to me to ask about scented laundry detergent and the sheets. I’ll either bring sheets or unscented laundry detergent next year. Other than my personal annoying allergies, the house was perfect for us. Thank you!

This is a unique cottage built partially into a hill! Our whole family fell in love with the home and property. Lots of green space and hills for exploring, rolling down, playing frisbee. It was fun to see how deliberate the owners are with preserving the history while also making small changes to modernize it/allow for space. Great for birding, reading on the porch, drinking a coffee during a summer shower... We have stayed at a lot of vacation rental properties and this one tops the list as memorable. It's a great location for nearby hikes and waterfalls, lots of yummy restaurants too! Our four children (ages 2-8) spent a good deal of time making a fort after feeling inspired by a book at the cottage. And it was perfect for our dog to run around! If you can't tell, we truly loved the place.

Beautiful little house with a hugh yard just 2 minutes from the lake. Owners have thought of everything to make your stay easier. Coffee and snacks to get you started. All the little things that you normally forget to bring. This little house had it if you needed it. Loved it
