Winter Getaway!

My family and I spend one week here and absolutely loved it! It's so close to Snowshoe and the property itself has a ton of amenities: pool table, ping pong, hot tub, outdoor fireplace, etc. Very private feeling, and plenty of room for everyone!

Mountain View’s❤️

The property is absolutely beautiful. One of the most peaceful places we have ever been. The cleaning needs to step it up. The dishes were still in dish washer from last guests. Most the towels were still in the dryer also from the last guests. We found a can of opened moldy fruit in the pantry. Used razor in our master tub area. Even an old contact lense on one of the bedroom dressers. The pool table felt is quite worn out and the ping pong table could use some tlc. The hi chairs were filthy and so was the pack and play. We didn’t use any of it. The Hot tub lid was broke but owners are waiting on repairs. The hot tub worked perfectly for those star lit nights. The sauna worked and was also very enjoyable. We Couldn’t figure out how or if the Karaoke machine worked. Even with all the cleaning issues we all had a great time once we cleaned things up. The house is beautiful, the surroundings were simply amazing. The owners were very nice and helpful they answered immediately when we called. The grounds of the home were kept impeccably clean. The grass was cut and so was a path thru the golden rod so you could walk thru the maze. Even With all the negative cleaning issues. We would still definitely recommend this location. Thank you for having us.

Great for all the family, but...

Our group consisted of 11 people of various ages- baby to older adults. The property was conducive to interaction, yet there was enough space to be by oneself as well. Plenty of games were available, a wonderful deck for relaxing together, outdoor fireplace and firepit, grill and kitchen with all that one needs to prepare meals. There were wonderful rocking chairs and deck chairs for just relaxing and watching the sunsets and the plethora of hummingbirds. The yard was great for a ball game too. A BIG downfall was the cleanliness of the place. Dog hair was E V E R Y W H E R E! Doors when opened, made hair airborne. Most of our family are not 'indoor dog people'. The one family that has a golden retriever in their house called it 'bad' by their standard as well! Bathrooms were clean, but we cannot say the same for the beds (dog hair on sheets) and the floors. Dirty tissues were in bathroom drawers and behind the toilet. Nice washers and dryers, yet both were stuffed with towels and sheets- still wet in the washer too. The entire place needs a hard core cleaning. The railing in the loft and going upstairs was decorative, but extremely unsafe. On the positive side, the owner was very much in communication with us and offered to help the best he could. Once WE vacummed and superficially cleaned, we decided that we could deal with it and chose to stay. Overall we kept it a fun, safe family-bonding experience. We won't go back though.

Why they chose this property

Lynn and I picked this property specifically for the flat open space on the top of the mountain. It's the only property like it in the area. Our goal was to have a place our kids could enjoy, play football, soccer, bike, hike, paintball, etc. It really has worked perfectly for us and we hope you could enjoy it the same way we have over the years
