1 Star to 5 Star Review (shortened to fit character limit). We excitedly arrived at the house and discovered that it was never cleaned! Anger, frustration, disbelief. We got in touch with the host, who was apologetic and response. He had a cleaning crew out in about 30 minutes. Crisis averted. The descriptions are accurate & the house met my expectations. I wanted something secluded and with a mountain view. Heed the warnings about needing an AWD vehicle. The house is several miles in & up a mountain with lots of curvy switchbacks. The gravel road isn't too long but it's steep and bumpy. I'm not used to this type of driving so, tbh, it was a bit nerve-wracking. The house is well-equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed playing video games, the fire pit (propane) and the hot tub (not all jets were working). The morning sun bathes the upstairs bedroom; bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in. ;-)The house is 'centrally' located so you can 'conveniently' get to many activities (meaning 30 minutes to 1–2-hour drive depending on what you're trying to do). Note that there is still damage in this area from Hurricane Helene so do your research in advance.Reco to host: Create a consolidated informational book and leave it in the kitchen. There are signs in various places with details on Wi-Fi, instructions for the fireplace, etc. but they were not immediately obvious.

Awesome weekend stay! The place was super clean and in a great location. A lot of fun stuff to do at the house. We made friends with a family of bears. That was the coolest thing ever to see them so close up.

Kids loved the game room!!!Wonderful accommodations!!!

Our group of 6 adults were very comfortable during our stay at this property. The views are amazing, accommodations are spacious & comfortable, and the amenities are wonderful! The host communicates very effectively about each step of the process, from the welcome email to checkout procedures. The information about the driveway along with ride-share accommodations were very helpful. We were glad to have known that 4WD vehicles are necessary as it snowed during our stay (the last 1/4 mile of the driveway is no joke!). We found it easy to drive a short distance into town to catch ride-share options to downtown Asheville, leaving a vehicle at the nearest grocery store. Overall, we definitely recommend this property and hope to stay here again in the future!
