Amazing mountain getaway

The house looked beautiful online and it was even better in person. Everything that we seemingly needed/wanted was available on property. So much room throughout the house and it was very modern and up-to-date. We would definitely book again. The communication with the owner was fantastic.

Absolutely Perfect!

If I could give the property 10 stars, I would. The home was perfectly described in the listing, but even more beautiful in person. My family of 14 were able to stay here and have everything we wanted/needed and had PLENTY of space to spread out. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were stocked with towels and necessities, the kitchen had all of the utensils and pots/pans we needed, and the grill was ready to go. Nora was an excellent host, providing great communication all along the way. We will DEFINITELY be looking to book this home again!

Great location and views all around. Spent an entire month here and had various friends' family visit. The setup was solid (although only three rooms have a view of the mountains). They do have some cameras that may point inside toward the living room area, but not sure if they are functioning or not. There is a camera at the end of the house that points toward the yard/hot tub lower level area. They should probably remove those and/or fully point them away from the house. But if you are not concerned about the cameras, this place is great.

Thank you for the kind words about the location, views, and overall setup. We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed an extended stay at GIOIA Lodge. We also appreciate you sharing your feedback. For clarity and guest peace of mind, we want to note that there are no interior cameras anywhere inside the home. Any exterior cameras are clearly disclosed in the listing, are positioned for property security only, and do not monitor interior spaces or private areas. We take guest privacy very seriously and continuously review placement to ensure it aligns with platform policies and guest comfort. Thank you again for choosing our home for such a long stay. We truly enjoyed hosting you and would be happy to welcome you back anytime.

What's Not To Love?!

Our extended family of 13 stayed here for a mini-family reunion with ages ranging from 23-90. The property was AMAZING...with stunning mountain views from the wrap-around porch. There were plenty of bedroom & bathroom configurations to accommodate our group. We took full advantage of all the amenities, playing pool, cards around the dining table, dominoes, giant connect 4 & bags. The home is gorgeous and has everything you need plus some. Nora was extremely responsive and gave some great recommendations. It was about a 40 min. drive to Asheville, but the views were worth it. We will be back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Nora Gonzalez

Host profile image
What began as a retreat for our family has become a sanctuary for guests looking to rest, reconnect, and soak in the peace of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every space was designed to make you feel at ease — from the cozy living room with its crackling fireplace to the wraparound porch that offers breathtaking views year-round.
