This was a wonderful house enjoyed by four couples for a week of fall gorgeous weather and golf in the mountains. The house was beautifully appointed and had a well equipped kitchen for all our cooks. The home is well situated for trips to town for shopping and dining. We Will definitely be back!

The house was great for our use except, the noise from radon machine outside the master all the time. We rented for a month and it made it difficult without closet in the master with cloths for a month. Size and views were amazing. Great location.

Reviewer Comments:
We were disappointed with the bedroom locations because we were misinformed by the manager that not all bedrooms were on same side of the house which they were. We would not have considered renting it. The view and landscaping were beautiful and easy access to center of town. Furnishing was old and outdated. We would not recommend this house for couples with different sleeping habits as the hallway floors creaked each time it was walked on.

We appreciate your feedback on Hidden Gem and are sorry to hear it was not to your full satisfaction. The property has a style of a more classic/elegant furnishings as seen on the pictures prior to booking. This is the first comment we have heard about the furniture being outdated, but due the style of the home we would not think it is "outdated". We apologize if there was a communication error on the bedroom arrangement, after looking back on the responses perhaps "3 closer together and one on the end" should have been more clarified that they were indeed on the same side of the house. Overall, we appreciate your positive feedback, and we hope wherever your next stay is you get the full 5-star customer care. Thank you!

We loved this property! The house is beautiful and exactly as described - in fact, the back two bedrooms are much bigger than we anticipated. The kitchen is well-stocked, and the internet is decent, especially for the mountains.
We loved the wild turkeys, deer, and rabbits in the yard. If you fill the bird feeders, there are a ton of birds that will visit! It’s a quick trip into Waynesville (loved Beach Mountain Diner) and an easy 30-35 min drive to downtown Asheville.
The house has incredible views, as depicted in the photos, and plenty of space. The lot was very secluded and private, the furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen was amazing. We loved our stay!

We really enjoyed the property. Fantastic kitchen and master bathroom. The two gas fireplaces were great and used frequently. We will definitely try to rent this property in the future.
Beautiful location , honestly think there could of should of been a nice welcoming package or call from Agent, instead there was a list of fines if you did something wrong. Serious issue with trash, 2 small cans provided and we were a party of 8 adults. If you fill the cans, which we did in 2 days , you are told you must bring trash to the Maggie Valley Real Estate office dumpster. We paid over $4,000 to stay there and are being told to put trash in our car and drive to Maggie Valley. After two calls to the office we were told they would come out and collect the trash, they never did, we just purchased large trash bags . The online listing states the property has 4 bedrooms with bathrooms, that is not correct . One bedroom (4th ) says it has a queen size bed and full bath. The bath is across hall into the laundry area and then there is a door into a bathroom. 4 Sista's and husbands had to draw straws, no one was happy about that. Otherwise enjoyed the most gorgeous views, beautiful fire place, there are two, only one works, large family & dining table to play cards.
This was our second time to stay here. We like the area. Every thing is close by, but away from town. The views are wonderful. We'll be back next year.

Great!! Only a few things we saw when we got in, but it was truly wonderful, especially for dinner and being on the porch for wine time!!!
The property exceeded my expectation. The house was beautiful inside but the outside was extraordinary........Incredible view of mountains but also beautiful blooming flowers and bushes and the greenest grass. I cannot say enough of the grounds.
This home is absolutely beautiful as the pictures online show; in person there is so much space and picturesque views.
Each room and bedroom have high quality appointments. The bedrooms were very comfortable and also provided a lot of space. The area is vibrant again with dining, golfing and shopping. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.
We checked in and out after hours which went very smoothly. Not a detail was missed on this rental property from start to finish.
Wonderful house. Everything in order just as explained. Great view and not too far up the mountain. 'Our extended family greatly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.
