Response from VrboOwner on 21 Feb 2025
The welcome email states clearly that the hot water heater is turned off between renters and tells you to turn it on when you arrive. I was never notified about this. I would have been able to walk you thru the steps. The check in email is important to read for these reasons.

Hiking getaway

Wonderful Stay!

Spotlessly clean and well-equipped. Comfortable and welcoming. We had a wonderful weekend stay which we wish didn't have to end. The view from the back porch is truly breathtaking! We would stay here again in a heartbeat on our next trip to the NC mountains.

Like Staying with Friends

My time here felt less like a rental and more like a good friend let me use their beautiful condo unit. It was well stocked with kitchen appliances, kitchen supplies, and linens. We adored the views of the sunset from both inside the unit and the hot tub. This was also a perfect location for our weekend of hiking and tubing with kids in that we were close enough to come back to the condo for mid day breaks.

A gorgeous gem in the sky

My boyfriend and I felt extremely lucky to get to stay here. We decided to run away together for a romantic Thanksgiving weekend. Everything was perfect. We didn’t get to use the hot tub because of high winds, but it felt like a fair trade because the property was just so well kept and organized and clean. Great access to hiking, skiing, tubing, anything you can think of in the mountains. Hoping we will be welcome back!

Super!

The villa was gorgeous and the views were amazing! My only suggestion-there should be furniture on the deck. There was a large hot tub but that is not something we enjoy. Would have loved to sit out and enjoy the sunset.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
There is furniture for the deck. This villa is at the very top of the mountain top and has high winds from time to time. The furniture is in the storage space off the deck. For safety reason we do not want furniture to go thru the full glass windows along the back side of the villa.

AMAZING PLACE!

From the second you walk in the door, your jaw will drop because the view is just AMAZING! This condo has everything you need, and more. It's clean, well stocked, comfortable, and communication with the owner is easy, if needed. We loved it so much, we even stayed an extra night! We would've stayed longer, but, sadly, we had to get back to reality. We highly recommend this property. 5+ stars!!!

First Snow

We really enjoyed our stay and the accommodations made it so nice to relax. The views were amazing and beds very comfortable. Having the 2 king sized beds were perfect for us. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location being at the top of the mountain allows us to not feel surrounded by others and since it was at the end of the road we could take my son out to play in some of the snow that was his first time seeing. We made great memories and would love to come visit in a warmer time to do more hiking and water activities!

Annual Family Ski Trip

We loved our stay at this condo! We had everything we needed to fix meals after a day of fun and the hot tub was wonderful for the adults. The furniture was super comfy and great for movie nights. Since the condo is at the top of the mountain, the winds are fierce. I would recommend brining white noise machines to cancel out the wind noise. The view however, was spectacular!!!! We’ll definitely book here again!

Another great stay!

This was our second visit to this property and it was, once again, fantastic. Great sunsets and views from the balcony (of course), comfortable, clean, and homey interior, and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing after our hikes. Everything worked perfectly and Rachel was quick to respond to questions and concerns (power went out during the ice/snow storm--she notified the power company, told us where the flashlights were, and confirmed we could use the gas fireplace for emergency heat. Outage was only a few hours but we appreciated the support). So, all told, another great stay!
