This property is amazing! Wonderfully designed and with everything included. Sauna and spa, plus frisbee golf, two fire pits, and possibly the most beautiful deck ever. The neighborhood is beautiful (waterfalls, trails, picnic benches, etc.) and serene. The host was responsive and really worked with us. We will definitely stay here again!

Our family, including Bandit, our dog, could not have asked for a better mini‑vacation at Mountain Haus. If you're willing to give up the mountain view, this 3BR, 2BA home is absolutely worth it.All of our time on the property was spent out on the porch enjoying the hot tub, sauna, and projector with access to all our favorite streaming apps. When we weren’t on the porch, we were hanging out at the fire pit or playing frisbee golf on their three‑hole course in the backyard.We saw so much wildlife during our three‑day stay. Deer came and went constantly, and we even spotted the same fox every evening at dusk. The circle driveway also made getting in and out incredibly easy.I couldn’t recommend this property more. We had an absolute blast.

This was by far the best stay we have ever had while vacationing! Natalia’s home had everything we were looking for and more. It was spotless, close to shops/restaurants, and relaxing. Everything we needed was provided and she was excellent with communicating. From watching the deer in the yard daily, to roasting s'mores over the campfire, relaxing in the hot tub, and watching movies on the projector on the back deck, we had an amazing time. We have kids in all age ranges and we finally found a place that we could truly relax. There is a play set and disc golf in the back yard. The decks have gates and are enclosed so we felt very safe with our small children. There is a mini water fall two minutes away that was perfect for wading in the summer. We went trout fishing, gem mining, and visited shops all within twenty minutes or less away. The views are incredible as well. This was by far the best place we have stayed throughout multiple vacations and we will definitely be back!

Great place for our family to stay on our motorcycle trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Place was clean and well-stocked, host communicated very well and our family of 7 was comfortable. There was obviously no snow in mid-October so I couldn’t rate the skiing but this home would serve you well during the ski season.
