Recent Western North Carolina guest reviews

The design is open and airy. Very comfortable.
Mason E. | Jun 2026
Very comfortable condo centrally located with gorgeous views and lots to do. Outdoor pool is lovely and fitness center served its purpose while on vacation.
Bonnie H. | Jun 2026
Lovely home with cozy feel! Easy check in. House very clean other than the silverware in the drawer. Some conflicting information in terms of check out and clean up on the website vs the hardcopy manual in the cabin. Simple and sweet location. Parking may be tricky in bad weather. Would stay here again!
