This is a beautiful property in a great location! Excellent view. It is very clean and has a well-equipped kitchen. Large, comfy living spaces! Plenty of room for a large group to spread out too! We will be back.

Great family vacation

On our first day we found stinky decayed dead mice on a sticky board beneath a table in the main room. Messaged the host. "John, we arrived just after 2:30 PM. Everything smooth. Decided to brush up on a little putting game I have and the ball went underneath the credenza. Looking under to retrieve my ball found these two dead mice on a sticky board decayed and odiferous. I have the photo here to send you, but I do not know how.to attach it. I have disposed of them, but frankly shocked." His answer: Message from the host "Bryan, I am sorry you found those. To be honest, they are very common in the mountains. We have six homes up here and all six of them are treated A-1 pest control. it seems like no matter what you do they still find a tiny crank or an open door to get in. Please accept my apologies for this unpleasant experience. I will contact the pest control company tomorrow. " Not what I was expecting and insultingly condescending. Also, you need to know this property is stairs and stairs. It's not a bad place but best for young families or teens. The dead mice incident, which from the decayed corpses indicated they had been there a long time, and the cavalier response would dissuade me from any of this host's properties. The property is, however, well-decorated and has a lovely view from the deck. This is only my experience. I have stayed at VRBOs in the US and Virgin Islands and have had many good experiences in the past, and we prefer VRBOs.

We had a wonderful time. Loved this place. Our only compliant was lack of soap to wash hands.there was no dish soap to hand wash dishes. The house was very centrally located to everything.

There were 8 of us on a church retreat. The home is beautiful and well equipped. The views are amazing. There are several steps to get down to the walkway to the home that should be noted for older renters, we had an 83 yo with us and it was difficult for her. The steps inside are a little steep and she had to stay on the main level the entire 7 day stay. Also, on the warmer days the home reached 76 - 77 degrees (in April) it was quite warm inside even with the windows and doors open (that we could open). I contacted the owner about several issues and his response was to raise the windows and open the doors and indicated that ac wasn't really needed in the mountains and that he would address the other issues after we left, including the ice machine that had quit working. Not the response that we had expected.

Access to property was good. Close to banner elk downtown. Def bring extra PT and TP, soap, shampoo. Great views. Nice layout for families with separate floors. Hard to control the temperature since no AC and vaulted ceilings.

Beautiful property with the best views. The hot tub wasn't working but that was the only thing my family complained about.
