Serene gem with year-round mountain views, game room & theater

The house was exactly as advertised! Beds were super comfortable and had everything you could need. The views off the deck are amazing!

VRBO listed a home that featured a hot tub along with a lot of other amenities. Although there were many other desirable homes to choose from, my family decided on this one mainly due to the hot tub. When we arrived, one of the first things we noticed was that the hot tub was dry and not even plugged in. Contacted property management, VACASA, and was told that the property did not have a hot tub! Eventually was told that I would be refunded for the hot tub charge (a daily fee) and would be refunded one night’s stay. Still waiting for the refunds!

House was great! The deck was picture perfect. The house was clean and well stocked. Game room was perfect for kids. We will be back!

Didn't come with enough dishwasher detergent or trash bags, bathrooms didnt come with soap, cleaners didnt sweep under furniture. Kitchen did come with everything to cook so that was nice! Hot tub was nice heavily chlorinated though. Wifi was patchy but you were way up there so thats to be expected. Drive was killer turns and took forever it felt like, definitely no going back down once you get up.

Overall, this is an very good property, with two main provisos. The first obvious thing that any renter of this property will notice is the approx. 2 mile trip over winding gravel roads with a few switchbacks from the main road to the house. This adds 20 min. or so to or from the house, which has to be computed into any trip to dinner or activities, and it requires full attention to stay on the road (extreme hillsides in many areas). That situation is not disclosed in the listing. The agency attempted to share an alternate route that could not be followed. Second, the shower in the main floor master suite is tiny, maybe 3-feet square, nowhere near enough room to shower unless you are a contortionist. There is a neighboring hot tub that takes up too much space that should have been allocated to a much more comfortable shower. On the plus side, the back porch and lookout over the forest are fantastic, you will use this space a lot. Bedding was very ample and comfortable. Recliners in the main floor sectional do not operate well and appear to be malfunctioning. Kitchen is well fitted.

This house was absolutely amazing! It’s tucked back into the mountains so you feel as if you are the only ones out there. The house has everything you need and I loved the thoughtful touches like the labeling of the light switches. The real magic of this home is the outside porch. Coffee by the fire place in the morning, games and dinner with the family in the evening, the porch is where it’s at. You feel like you are floating in the mountains. We loved this home.

This was the perfect spot for our two familes - our kids are ages 8-12 and the downstairs area provided hours or entertainment while the adults were able to talk and hang out upstairs. The covered porch was a favorite of everyone. We hope to return in the future!

The porch is absolutely a tiny little slice of heaven! I spent as much time as possible just enjoying the porch. It a perfect spot for just sitting and finding relaxation. All of the bedsrooms are spacious and cozy! The kitchen was fully stocked - even a crockpot. The drive there is an adventure but we loved everything about this house.

Every bedroom has its own bathroom. Very convenient for individual privacy.

Great place

Awesome property to host a get together! Close and convenient to Beech Mountain and remote enough for a get away

Not impressed, none of the bedroom or bathroom doors would shut or lock. Not enough bathroom towels or kitchen towels. Was only given 1 trash bag and 1 roll of paper

Beautiful location, beautiful home and beautiful views

Amazing property, it had everything we needed, kitchen was completely stocked with every kind of pots and pans and utensils. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and beds were very clean. All rooms were decorated beautifully and we li we all the extra blankets for us to use when we were on the deck watching tv. The downstairs was a favorite hang out . . We will stay here again and I would have to say it was the best place we have rented. We had 3 couples and a 2 year old, a1 year old and a 7 month staying there and we had plenty of room. We did not use the 4th bedroom because of the bunk beds and the grandkids being so young.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Hiking and large enough to accommodate my family
