    The cabin is beautiful but it needs some minor repairs. None of the bathroom doors lock except the one in the loft. One exterior door doesn’t lock or latch at all. It was somewhat inconvenient that the thermostat is located in the master bedroom. As we turn the heat down at night but had to wait to turn it up when the occupants of that room got up.

    Excellent location and layout. Loved the game room, multiple living areas, hot tub, grills, and large family/great room. This was an annual extended family ski trip. Would recommend this to other larger groups (12+).

    Great place - we had wonderful weather. If it had been hotter it would have been an issue. The top floor (2 bedrooms & balcony) had no ductwork for A/C! There were fans - it worked since the weather cooperated (not hot) - but it would not been a place to sleep if it had been 7-10 degrees warmer! This home was advertised as A/C - but that was not accurate. The amenities for families on the mountain were great and we didn't spend much time in the home.

    Unfortunately due to an unexpected water damage, we were unable to stay at this property. However, I want to note Blue Ridge Rental managing the property were fantastic in all aspects of handling the situation and and I look forward to our next rental in the future.

    Red Stag was perfect for us. We had all ages so there was plenty of room to spread out. Eagles Nest has so much to offer there is never a dull moment.

    We stayed 3 nights at this property to get some skiing in. 4 families - 7 adults and 7 kids. The house is massive (4 floors) with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The location is great if you are looking for easy in and out from the main gate. Although you don't go very far up the mountain, the views are still nice (shame they built the huge stone fireplace right where the best view is though). The decor is fun, very rustic and log cabin like (love the wood wall in the half bath). The furniture and beds were comfortable except those wooden bar stools in the kitchen (not the saddle ones). Light switches were tricky to find and the lights in many rooms were glaringly bright (I think they were halogen). The dining table is squeezed into the space I would call the foyer. You literally walk in the main door from outside right into the table. There is not a bit of room around it between the door, bedroom, and kitchen. And despite this house sleeping 14 people, you can fit about 8 around the table. It appears to be an afterthought in the design unfortunately. There is only 1 bedroom on every floor of this house (with the exception of the top floor which has 2 king bedrooms with a shared tiny bathroom and a door between the 2 bedrooms) which was not ideal. The bedrooms do not have any view at all. The bunk area is on the very bottom floor and open and below the staircase. It was comfortable for the kids however the problem with this design is that the game room (pool, darts, ping pong, air hockey) is just above it and since the bunk area is open to the stairs, it meant that when the kids went to bed the game rooms is unusable - too much light and noise. We were hoping this would be a great evening hang out for the adults but we were never able to use it because the kids were right there sleeping. If you have light sleepers don't put them on the main floor bedroom near the kitchen - the wall does not go up to the ceiling and the gap between the wall and ceiling throws a lot of noise and light into that bedroom. The bedroom on the game room floor should have a king bed instead of a queen. The kitchen was well stocked and the house had all the amenities we would want. Nice house, we just didn't like the layout despite there being plenty of room.

    Beautiful older house that needs some attention. I really think this is a management issue: We arrived and the house had not been cleaned. Management addressed this immediately and the cleaning crew came and they were GREAT! We left so they could clean. Told on arrival that hot tub fixed so we could use it the next day, not that night. Garbage cans were full and had to have this addressed asap. Two property books on coffee table with different trash pick up dates. Lights outside front and deck by fireplace needs new bulbs as they did not work. The gas pipe to the outside fireplace was rusted off ( but we had no problem making a great fire the old fashion way !) The location was excellent! Beautiful older home, great location. Just needs some attention . Simple example: ping pong paddles were old and falling apart. I have recommended someone go through the home to fix things , replace bulbs, etc Only reason for the honest review is that we paid double the price for the Christmas holiday week. It wasn’t cheap and these issues need to be addressed for the next renter. Thank you.
