This is a beautiful, clean, nicely decorated home in a well kept neighborhood. Loved having the amenities, the nice paved roads and the pool. The outdoor pool is just beautiful! We enjoyed all the Adirondack chairs on the porch and spent our mornings sitting out there drinking coffee. The only reason we didn’t give it five stars is we had some water issues. I believe this affected several houses in the area. One day the water started running brown and shortly after that we were notified we were on a boil advisory. This lasted several days. So it was inconvenient to be on vacation, trying to relax, but not able to brush your teeth or wash your dishes without boiling the water. It would have been nice if the rental company made some accommodations. We had to run out and get a lot of bottled water. Two people in our group ended up getting sick with stomach issues-We are not sure if it was related to the water or viral. Unrelated to this boil advisory, several of the toilets in the house ran pretty much constantly and therefore had trouble flushing. The water issue aside, our stay was lovely and really it’s not a reflection on the quality of the house itself. It was just an inconvenience to experience while on a vacation. We would definitely stay again!!

We really enjoyed staying at Blue Sky. The house was great and had plenty of room. It could have used more cooking (i/e/ pots and pans, ) for cooking for a large family. Other than that, we really enjoyed it. The pools and amenities were first rate.

This property was great for my family trip to celebrate my parents anniversary. There was space for each family to have some privacy and the communal area was large and well laid out. The kids loved going to the indoor pool and we were close to lots of activities.

The house was great for our family trip. We visited with 4 families, including 5 small children and the space worked very well for us. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and the check-in process was excellent. We had an issue with the hot water the first day, but it was dealt with promptly. The location of the house is perfect. We were near hiking, wineries, breweries, the alpine coaster, Grandfather Mountain and restaurants and grocery stores. The indoor swimming pool is right across the street and the kids had a great time swimming. There are two bedrooms downstairs. We used the bunk room, but prospective guests should know that the other room downstairs doesn’t have a door and was less usable as a bedroom.

We had an amazing time! I loved the spaciousness of the house. We had three families and all the kids stayed downstairs. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool and the parents enjoyed outdoor time with their families.
