Cloud Dancer was great! It had everything we needed and the view is amazing!! We were lucky enough to get probably the best mountain sunset I've seen in my life. Beds were very comfortable. Very convenient to Hatley Pointe to ski--just a short drive away. Would definitely stay here again.

Waller in the Holler

Nice place with one of the best stocked kitchen we have had as far as other rentals we have done. Hot tub big plus after hiking. Steep climb by truck / car up so 4x4 recommended. Lots of room if we would have had others join us and great spot downstairs to put kids to keep them out of the adults way. Pictures show a pool table but there is ping pong there now. Of course beautiful views. Only misunderstanding on my part was I thought this was an entire house. It is in fact a townhouse in a block of 4. The picture of the outside is a little confusing as it looks like you are getting the “entire” home. Also when you arrive you need to drive around the building to what you would think is the back … but it’s really the main entrance in the back. We vacation frequently here at the Wolf and prefer our own home but other than this 5 stars for sure. Don’t forget on your way up to get groceries, there is an Ingles in Mars Hill exit off 26 that is much closer than the old Weaverville exit. .

Jason, thank you for your detailed review of Cloud Dancer! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and found the hot tub a great way to unwind after hiking. We appreciate your feedback about the layout and access to the property; we'll work on making the entrance details clearer for future guests :) It sounds like you had a wonderful time, and we’d love to welcome you back for another stay! Safe travels, and thank you for the grocery tip!
