Enjoy Beautiful Views of Cold Mountain from a huge deck at 3600' at Old Sarum

We have stayed at the Old Sarum for the second time now, and it was another great experience. The place was as pleasant and functional as before, but obviously our previous experience helped us to move around more easily.This time weather was a mix of cold (near freezing) and warm (60) days, but it is easy to control the temperature in the house and for those long chilly evenings a fireplace is readily available. The access road improved a little, but I did not find it too challenging. Still, a AWD/4WD drive will certainly be of help if road conditions are poor, especially in winter.All in all, this is by far our favourite place in the Waynesville area. The house is unique and very spacious, the site is nicely tucked just below the ridge leading up to the Cold Mountain summit, and the views toward the Shining Rock Wilderness with its mountain ridge. The views were absolutely gorgeous, just like before! We're already thinking about a short fall getaway to experience the changing leaves. To be continued for sure!

The peace and quiet was great. Everything as described. Beautiful view.

Great cabin and view. Had a great time

Great view and wonderful owner to rent from! We enjoyed our time at the property and had a wonderful time. The house had everything we needed.

Beautiful location and home.

Beautiful home with amazing views. Absolutely awesome for stargazing!

My family and I really enjoyed this amazing place, the mountain view is incredibly beautiful, and the cabin is perfect.Thank you

The house was exactly as pictured. Lenny was very quick with responding. The house is extremely well stocked with everything necessary for your stay and more, which is greatly appreciated. Our family came for a short getaway after Christmas and enjoyed our time together that only thing that would have made it perfect was a little dusting of the white stuff ;)

This was a really great and memorable holiday escape!!The house is very spacious, functional, comfortable, and clean (we are friendly with ladybugs). The views are obviously gorgeous and with very little light pollution the night sky views are equally impressive as the panorama during the day.Civilization feels remote and distant. which provides for really quiet and nicely relaxing atmosphere. For those who are unwilling to disconnect from the outside world, wifi connectivity and satellite tv is readily available.The only deficiency during our stay was a total lack of snow, which actually helped to quell our concernes about driving up the mountain on a narrow road. Something for something.Dogs seemingly had good time, too, as the area is pretty pristine with all unusual smells of wildlife. We had seen one herd of elk, squirrels, and a couple of hawks. Hunting seems like a common activity in the area, and so leaving dogs usupervised outside may not be the best option.I would also like to compliment our host, Lenny, who was very helpful and promptly answered our questions. He also made sure there was ample amount of wood so we could use the fireplace on those chilly December evenings. Thank you.All in all, it is one of those places that provides for fabulous, long-lasting memories, and makes one want to return for more. I hope we will have another chance to stay at the Old Sarum in the future!

The house was perfect for our long weekend in the mountains. Hands down the most unbeatable view AND awesome fireplace! House was clean, well stocked and just perfect! We will be back!
