    The home was very warm and clean when we arrived! Very easy to get to, The roads were all plowed and salted so you don’t have to worry about driving a 4WD.I had some questions mid-visit and the host was very responsive. Over all no complaints and I would definitely book again!

    We loved our stay! The home is very clean and welcoming. There were touches of Halloween all throughout the home to make it feel festive. The space was very relaxing and just what my husband and I needed to get away from all of the business of life. The host was easy to contact. I would love to bring my family back for a vacation.

    This is the seventh time in four years I have stayed in this house. I have had four mother/daughter retreats and three trips with a friend. It’s a clean, comfortable house, stocked with everything you need. The location is quiet and peaceful. Heather, the host, is wonderful

    The Creekside home, was a home away from home. Very family friendly with game room, great sounds of the creek and located nicely to enjoy several nearby towns. The home was very well equipped. Heather, the host, responded quickly to an inquiries.

    Our stay at Lickskillet was awesome. We got the full experience of mountain living, while also having everything you could want indoors. Our kids loved getting to listen to music on the record player, too. A really nice weekend for us all.

    This is a great place to stay, just a few miles off US19E.Very comfortable, nicely decorated.We loved sitting near the creek and cooking s'mores in the firepit.There are beautiful views from the house.Many hiking trails in the area are still closed, due to damage from Helene. But it's an easy drive to the Laurel River trail (we recommend it) or to Asheville.

    I stayed here with my husband and my two kids, ages 11 and 15. They LOVED the hot tub and the ping pong table. If I had to pick one word to describe the home it would be “thoughtful”. From the little notes all over the house to help the guests to the QR codes for directions on how to work the temperature control and the record player, nothing was overlooked. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. The views were breathtaking from the home and we loved watching the cows, deer, and turkeys We enjoyed eating at the Snapdragon and drinking (and more eating!) at Home Place Brewery. There were a few gift shops near the restaurant where we grabbed souvenirs. All in all, a wonderful getaway!

    Great house for a couple or a family. My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Lickskillet house. A nice getaway with lots of relaxation. We also enjoyed our visits to the little town of Burnsville! Hope to get the opportunity to return some time.

    This property was in such a beautiful location. We saw many deer during our stay. The teens enjoyed playing downstairs on the ping pong table. The creek outback had such beautiful views, especially during sunrise. Our family really enjoyed staying here. We look forward to hopefully renting again in the future.

    This is the best house!! Best for peace and relaxation if that is what you want. If you want fun/interesting things to do, this is a great location to access lots of things to do. This is my 5th stay in Lickskillet, including 2 times this summer and last summer. I love this house for many reasons

    We loved our stay at this peaceful mountain home! Heather has created such a wonderful home away from home. Comfortably decorated with notes to answer your every question. The hot tub was amazing after long days of exploring western North Carolina. We so enjoyed the valley view. The cows and fireflies were entertaining in the evenings and turkeys dotted the hills in the mornings. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. We had fun with the basement games. The creek was so relaxing! Easy check in and check the out! Would definitely recommend!

    I love this property! This is my fourth visit in three years. It is like going home. It is clean, comfortable, and well stocked. As I sat on the front porch swing one evening all I heard were the sounds of “night insects” and the relaxing sound of the little stream

    Small tidy home in a lovely setting on a rural mountain road. Kids (4 and 5.5) loved playing in the creek and the hot tub and were delighted by the fireflies in the evening. Convenient to the delightful town of Burnsville only 10 minutes away. The dead end road made for a lovely - and safe - walk in the mornings. A nice stay!
