Vacation in Golf Resort Home with Majestic Mountain Views

I hope we could read review like this before rent this house. I will try to describe the property because it wasn't review and describe enough. We rented this home for the Christmas/New Year week. This year because of pandemic we had make this trip as last minute decision and didn't have big variety of home to rent at VRBO. We paid around $100/day more than our previous winter trips to NC and expected to have a great vacation. Communication with owner before arrival was Ok, but this was first time when for check in an owner doesn't use a lock-box and asked to met in the house. My wife is a medical provider and works close with COVID-19 so our family takes serious all safety regulations. Our first shock was when Varshana and Eric met us inside the house, they were walking around the house without masks and touching everything. Also we couldn't find in the house any COVID rules, sanitizers etc. This was our second trip to NC during the pandemic and previous house had everything to feel you safe. The house itself is clean and spacious, but you feel as if owners have saved on you. Old furniture, cheap bathroom and kitchen, low amount of decoratons, microwave handle has been broken, toilets easy get clogged, water heater is small and only two people can shower before water is run out. Basement floor has a bed but doesn't have bathroom, so if you rent house for big group bathrooms can be an issue. Also make sure to bring entertainment with you, they have only old dvd disks. When we arrived outside temperature was below 20 degrees and heating doesn't work properly. It took more than 24 hours to get 72 degrees inside. Our first night was terrible and freeze. Varshana tried to call HVAC guy but it was Christmas day nobody cannot come. So they keep us as is. We also were surprised that in such expensive house we have take our garbage to the recycle center which is more than mile away. I'd not recommend this house except you golfer and come to play at Mill Creek course.

2 families with young kids-we had a great time. The kitchen has all you need; nice play space in the moving areas; beds are comfy with space for a pack n play. The area is packed full of outdoor activities for kids. Such a fun trip!

We very much enjoyed our time in this spacious, clean home. We were able to explore the area in all directions and enjoyed our day trips with hiking, shopping and dining in Franklin, Bryson City, Lake Junaluska, Asheville, Brevard, Highlands, and Cashiers. Our hosts were very friendly and had rapid response time for any issues or requests.

No tv, house had spider web everywhere. Old picture of tennis court, no tennis court.

The house was clean, spacious and in a great location. The owners were very good at communicating check in and very accommodating.

Beautiful Views! The location was central to everything that we wanted to explore. The home layout is very comfortable and the home owners were quick to respond to any questions or issues. The golf course amenities have changed a bit since the ad was written.

We were a party of 4 adults and a 7 year old. The home was very comfortable for us and extremely roomy, although we did not use the basement area at all. We so enjoyed sitting out on the balcony in the cooler temperatures and enjoying the lovely view. The owner was very responsive to our needs when the router cable for wifi was not working. Also, there a lot of suggestions left by the owner of things to do and see in and around Franklin. The highlight of our trip was rafting on the Nantahala. We used Endless River Adventures out of Bryson City and was extremely pleased. Not nearly as hectic as NOC for rafting. We had a great time with our granddaughter and kept on the go. We hope to visit Franklin again in the future.

We spent a month and found the home very comfortable. The owners have been renovating and there is now wood flooring throughout, including in the bedrooms. The living/dining area was very expansive, and included a large desk. This was conducive to our needs, as we had two laptops, printer and scanner. The owners were helpful and when we mentioned we both needed to use the internet at the same time, they immediately installed a router so we had wireless access. When we discovered that the garbage disposal was not working, they came to replace it right away. They also got us passes to get into the wholesale gem show taking place in Franklin. The house is conveniently located near the entrance to Mill Creek, and is high on a hill with beautiful vistas. Would recommend for a family vacation.

Our experience in this house was not that great. It wasn't very clean and we requested that it be cleaned again, and though the owners complied and were very nice, it didn't help much. Nothing extra was supplied except a few cleaning supplies and toilet paper. The furniture is very old and scratched/chipped and dresser drawers didn't work right. There are huge stains on the carpet in all 3 bedrooms. Walls, appliances and light switches all had dirty fingerprints, handprints or scuffmarks. Pillows on the bed were very old, lumpy and smelly. No phone and no bbq grill.

We had an excellent time in the home. The house had everything we needed and more, and our stay was worry free and extremely relaxing. More importantly, the owners worked with us to make this happen last minute since we decided to make this trip a few days before our arrival day. They were really attentive and were concerned with our comfort during our stay above everything else. we will recommend this home to our friends and would love to stay there again when we get another opportunity to take a vacation to Franklin.
