    The property was very dog friendly, which was necessary for me. I love the gated porch with it being full enclosed. This made it really easy, safe, and worry free to sit on the porch with my dog and just enjoy the beautiful mountains. The house was clean and inviting. The kitchen had an abundance of supplies. I felt very safe there but would’ve loved if all the sliding doors had extra safety measures added to them. Note to future guests: the neighborhood drive to the property is half very smooth paved (like new) and half steep older paved with multiple potholes to navigate around. I made it work in a Prius and was able to carefully avoid potholes. The property driveway is paved, flat, and free of potholes. Overall, it was a fabulous stay!

    The house was well appointed and clean. The only bad thing was the potholes on the road to the house.

    We had a really good stay, the house was good and clean with plenty of room. My only complaint is the driveway getting to the house. We were there specifically for the MiniTruck Nationals, so our vehicle sits low, and the potholes in the driveway were so bad that we would scrape the undercarriage and when we tried to go around some of the holes, we ended up scratching a 500 wheel that is irreplaceable because they no loner make them. In the description it states that you are driving into a paved driveway, which is correct, but the road to that driveway is terrible! I would highly recommend that you put this in your listing or at least know when events like this are going on in the area so that you can let people know who are wanting to rent the house. If it weren't for the road leading up to the house, we would have booked it again for next year.

    The views are definitely amazing and spectacular if you decide to go to Maggie Valley and just want to sit on the porch and look at gorgeous fuse all day long. This is the place if you’re coming for an adventure also, the place this home was very comfortable very clean Perfect layout private bathroom for each bedroom. The road is a little rough coming up a car that is lower to the ground that would have difficulty or if heavy snow we had no issues with a 2 Wheel Dr. ram 1500 will be looking to stay here again.

    The hosts are very good at communicating with you and making sure you are comfortable. If you need anything they are there to help. The house is great! Location, furnishings, and affordability is what you’re getting when you rent this house as well as caring hosts. We definitely recommend staying here.
