"Such a beautiful home! Every aspect of the house is well thought through. The kitchen has everything you could need, especially for a group of foodies like my family. The bathrooms are stunning!! The beds were very comfortable with wonderful linens. I can honestly say I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our host Julia and guest contact Linda were fabulous.

Perfect mountain home
The house is practically brand new with most amenities that you would want/need. The views are breathtaking and the feel of the house is serene. Definitely recommend this place as your weekend getaway.

From the Owner: "Nives, thank you for taking the time to review the Mercantile! We're so happy your family enjoyed your Labor Day weekend getaway. We'd love to host you again anytime."
I can’t tell you how happy all 9 of us are with our stay at this property. It has everything you need for a comfortable vacation with family and friends. The home is beautiful and pristine, beds are very comfortable, and the AC works wonderfully. We 3 families enjoyed all of our dinners around the table. We spent most of the time hanging out on the back decks! The deck sits perfectly aligned with the sun in the summer so we remained comfortable despite it being hot in mid-July. We love that it’s in Coosawattee River Resort for all of the amenities. The owners are very kind and have great communication should you need anything. We can’t wait to come back!!

We’re sorry to see the 3-star rating, as we aim for 5-star stays. Allen shared that our property was “very nice” and well-furnished, and we’re proud of that feedback. We’re disappointed the rainy weather affected their experience, as this is beyond our control. While we could not fully refund a cancellation request 24 hrs before check-in, we offered flexible options and ensured a seamless stay.
We welcome feedback and invite you to enjoy our home again in the future with hopefully better weather.
