Book a stay here- you will not regret it. Beautiful home with stunning views. Home was comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed. Fun things to enjoy both inside and outside. The outdoor property is beautiful. We enjoyed the stay with our teenage kids and our dog. Close proximity to hiking, dining etc. Kathy is a wonderful host. Very responsive and makes sure that you enjoy your stay.

Thanks so much for your kind words. We agree that the views are great -- one of my favorite things in the world is to sit out on the deck and see the sunrise or just watch the shadows on Grandfather Mountain. Thanks so much -- please come back soon!

Everything was as advertised and the communication with Kathy was probably the best I’ve experienced with an owner. She replied to questions within 30 min and genuinely wanted to ensure our stay was comfortable. House was well supplied with everything we needed. Beautiful view, hot tub was nice, and we enjoyed seeing the resident groundhogs and even a black bear!

Response from VrboOwner on 14 July 2026
You saw the groundhogs? I am thrilled to hear that! We haven't seen them since Hurricane Helene, and have been so worried about them. And a black bear too? Was he in the pond? They have been known to go for a swim and then dry off on the patio. You are so lucky to have seen these wonderful creatures! And I'm really glad the house worked for your group. Come back soon!

So clean, convenient to all the town has to offer and the view of Grandfather Mtn from the back of the house is stunning!

Kathy has ensured you have a home away from home with this place. The house is so beautiful with lots of thoughtful touches. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and location. We were lucky enough to have a winter wonderland and were very grateful for the shuttle to the lifts! Kathy was so communicative and helpful and we can’t wait to come back! Thank you for a great vacation.

The house is beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice! The host is super quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had. We had a winter storm coming in and the host made sure we were safe and gave us a refund because we had to leave a day early to not get caught by storm which other host would not do. I will definitely be coming back and telling my family/friends to stay here.

This was one of the best vacation rentals I've ever had. It really felt like a home and was perfect for our group of 30 somethings. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and relaxing on the many patios!

This is a fantastic home for a family vacation. It is spacious, well-equipped and located in a great area. The views are spectacular and the back yard with a pond and waterfall is very relaxing. We will definitely stay here again if we return to the Grandfather Mountain area for vacation.
