    The property and chalet are wonderful. The views are amazing. Our stay was short but so enjoyable! The host(Martin) was friendly and gave us historical info on the property. Saw wild turkeys, chipmunks, cows, horses, birds, and more. Definitely one of our best trips and look forward to staying here on our next visit. Thank you Martin!

    We absolutely loved our stay at this chalet. It had picturesque views that were stunning. I have stayed in a lot of rentals and this was the most stocked place. They had everything a person needs. Even disconnected from electronics was rewarding because it brought us back to enjoying the simple pleasures in life. We plan on coming back to NC again and this chalet is the first rental I will look up for my stay.

    We had a great time on our trip and loved the stay here, with the mountain views, the trails on the property, and the livestock wandering about. If you need WiFi to survive, WCU’s campus library is a short drive down the mountain— but we suggest taking the chance to enjoy not having internet/cell service! The place was clean, family-friendly, and the hosts were ready to make you feel at home. We’d love to come back in the winter and make use of the fireplace.

    Could not have enjoyed it more.Remote, quiet, inviting, relaxing.Hosts were great, beds and furniture were comfortable. Kitchen was stocked, house was clean. Everything was easy to access. 10 minute hike to the gazebo is a MUST. Take a book and water and spend the afternoon in those porch swings.

    We loved the peace and beautiful view. Anyone who wants to get away surrounded by natural beauty and the excuse to honestly relax will love it here - no phone service or internet. We loved it. My husband and I actually read and talked to each other. It is about 5 miles once you leave the main highway. GPS will not get you there. Once you drive by the Mountain Grove Baptist church Martin and Melody's driveway is next. Onion Mountain turns into Mountain Grove and the house numbers go from high to lower as you drive. Bring carrots and apples for the horses and enjoy.

    Absolutely wonderful place! Peaceful, fun, relaxing and comfortable. The house was exactly as described. Loved driving up to it everyday of our stay. The host was also very informative and helpful with our stay. The property was fun to explore and we loved the visits we received from the dogs. Viewing the stars at night was also very special. Overall we had an amazing time and were only disappointed that we had to leave. Hope to come back again.

    Great host and great property! We loved giving corn dog belly rubs. He was also a great running buddy on the trails on the property. Watching the cows, donkeys and horses from porch was so relaxing. The hosts were great and easy to communicate with. Thanks again for an awesome stay. We can’t wait to be back to the mountains again soon

    Everything was absolutely perfect. The house was beautiful with an absolutely gorgeous view every morning and evenings with the sunsets. Could also not have asked for a better host! So friendly and helpful. We had the best time even my 16yr & 10yr old loved it, and that was without WiFi!! It was vice nice to be able to just relax and have family time with no way to have any interruptions. Highly highly recommend!!

    From the beginning, the host made the check in and whole entire stay very easy!! Great communication and incredible hospitality! We've stayed in a lot of places over the years but this place was by far our favorite!! Everything from the home to the land and animals was absolutely beautiful and perfect! The minute we left, we were already thinking/planning on when we will back to stay again in the future!! If you are looking for the perfect little getaway, we 10/10 recommend!!
