Recent Western North Carolina guest reviews

This house welcomes you like a hug. Walking through the front door one already glimpses the treetops through the glass in the great room. The ample kitchen and dining space, the fireplace, the decking, rocking chair porch, and fire pit all say, "Come make yourself at home." The fact that the property can accommodate friends and family further invites cozy lingering. A perfect retreat in summer or winter.

We decided this year to try something new and spent thanksgiving away and chose this location for quiet peace and the fact it was dog friendly! With a fenced in yard partially it allows so much ease to open the door and allow the dogs out and know can’t run away! The kitchen was literally the most stocked I’ve ever seen!! I’d love to visit when little warmer to be able to enjoy the outdoor game area and porch but was little too cold when we were there but looks so fun! Sadly didn’t use the hot tub but it looked lovely! Beds were comfortable and WiFi worked great! Would def recommend for family getaway or even group of friends!

Spacious apartment with high ceilings, comfortable furniture especially the beds. Well equipped kitchen enabling us to cook breakfast each day before heading out to explore this wonderful town full of art galleries, great eateries and a vintage upstairs/downstairs general store named Masts that will make you feel like you're traveling back in time. Nice balcony, terrific shower. Very secure building in a nice cozy neighborhood. Reasonably priced and sometimes nicely discounted! Infinitely preferable to staying in a cookie cutter hotel room.
