Overall: the house was well equipped, beautiful, and incredibly spacious (more than the photos led on). The location was secluded yet close to a lot including the casino. The hot tub was the best, and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was probably the best equipped kitchen I’ve seen in a vacation rental with all the gadgets, and extras that you may need to feed a large party. All that being said, we did have a few hiccups during our stay. Some of the lights downstairs didn’t work properly, which made the part of our group staying down there have to crowd the other rooms when getting ready. Also, the housekeepers did a fabulous job getting the house ready- but they did overlook something downstairs- there were some chocolates left under the bed or in the closet downstairs that unfortunately my dog found before I did and it caused her to be extremely ill for a full day of our trip. All that being said, I’m sure this vacation home would more than satisfy any party despite the small lights quirk downstairs. Would definitely book again.
The house was lovely, comfortable and well appointed! Unbelievable view!! Needed lightbulbs and more importantly needed Vacasa to respond to our request for maintenance. Lights in the downstairs bathroom did not work….no guest access to the garage so we couldn’t test the breaker?? Called Vacasa, was assured someone would call……still waiting for that call after checkout. Homeowner should feel confident that their guests home issues are being addressed since they are paying them to do so with their fees. *did not reduce my stars for the home but I would definitely lower my rating for Vacasa and will keep that in mind for my future vacation home searches
Summit Escape was a perfect spot for a family gathering. Kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, appliances, & utensils. Clean home with spacious living room and game room. I would suggest bringing a few of your own cleaning supplies (ex: Lysol wipes), but overall it was fairly stocked with necessary items. Would definitely return!
The home was a perfect fit for our the celebration of our granddaughters 3rd birthday. The house was the perfect size, views were beautiful and we all had a fantastic experience.
House was more than we expected. Very clean and had everything we needed for our family. We will definitely be back.
The house was great just a little off the beaten path to get to hikes. We saw wild turkeys in the yard, great views, clean. Need to provide more shampoo and toilet paper
Everything it’s huge and clean and gorgeous
The cabin was beautiful inside and out. Centrally located to some great mountain golf courses. Even the course there, Great Smokey Mountain Country Club was challenging. Friendly staff and we had lunch after our round of golf at the Persimmon Grill. Great views from the deck of the cabin. Had fun playing pool in the lower level. The beds were comfortable and the entire cabin was very clean and well decorated. The outside was beautiful with the Dogwood trees in full bloom and the Rhodendrum starting to bloom too. We plan on coming back, hopefully next year!
Excellent property!
The house is wonderful and well stocked. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. It's 20 minutes to the casino, which was our trip's focus. You'll need to drive to the casino but there are plenty of Taxis to get you home. The house has a ring doorbell which is a little strange as a renter from a privacy perspective but that's our only complaint. Great value and would recommend!
