The property was clean and had plenty of space for our family of six. We loved the location and would stay here again!
A great vacation spot with beautiful view from the deck. Kitchen well equipped. Generous living space.
We enjoyed staying at Higher Ground in Yonahlossee. The location is perfect - great hiking, close to Boone and Blowing Rock. The house could use some kitchen updates - still has a coil top stove, dish washer bottom rack needs fixed, fridge seal needs reglued. No cleaning supplies at all (which the listing did say) but whoever stayed before us had a dog and there was dog smudge on the doors to the deck. Would have liked some Windex to clean. Beds were comfy. Living room furniture was perfect. Perhaps some better lighting (higher wattage light bulbs for us over 60s!). Would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time and the place was perfect for our time to watch the snow fall. However, I wanted to let you know a few things. 1) the disposal was very loud and it appears that it might need to be serviced. 2) there is a wheel missing from the bottom rack of the dishwasher. It does not affect the ability to clean but a simple part to replace. 3) the cleaning of the unit was not what I would call professional cleaned. Very dusty and the bathroom need a proper cleaning including the hand soap left - could not get the paper off due to it getting wet.
An exceptional and well appointed get-away. Our family of 5 really enjoyed the quiet and comfortable house without ever even turning on a TV. Waking up to 4” of snow on Christmas morning we were able to sled down the back hill for a couple of hours before departing on the freshly plowed roads. Hope to be back.
Hello, Please note we had a wonderful time at the property.
The only major downside was hearing neighbors beside us as it is a 3 story townhome so anytime anyone went up or down their stairs it was noisy (during sleep was the only problem) but otherwise it was a great location and place. We brought our own pans as we heard theirs were not in good shape. It was a nice getaway in the mountains.
While the unit is nice, there were a few deficiencies that impacted our stay. Upon arrival, we found a rather large tear in the middle cushion of the larger sofa, that we reported on a recorded line. The unit was well cleaned; however, the carpet was soiled and clearly in need of significant deep cleaning or replacement. As a duplex, we were surprised that we got to listen to our neighbors enjoy a movie most of the first two nights thru our bedroom wall. Our shower valve did not function properly as adjusting the temperature was very difficult, resulting in great changes in the water temp with very minor movements in the handle. The door gasket(seal) on the refrigerator was partially loose on the door when we first used it and gradually came completely off the day we checked out.The magnet in the gasket kept it attached to the frame of the refrigerator rather than on the door itself. The door would not seal as a result. I called this deficiency in to the office when it occurred.There was a dehumidifier in the lower bedroom that was clearly needed as I emptied it at least 5 times. There were not enough spare light bulbs as I managed to find the only one when our bedside table lamp blew. The views from the unit were wonderful from the deck. Other than some easily correctable problems, or stay was quite nice.
We enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, well furnished and the location was great. The only drawback was the renters in the unit next to us, played music so loudly, the bass bumped into our unit. They would quieten down by 10:30 pm. Also the walkway lights did not work, making for a dark walk out at night. We will def rent this unit again despite the music issue.
This place was amazing. I highly recommend this place to you. My only recommendation is to replace the mattress upstairs.
