The following issues occurred at our ~1k rental: - The house was damp and sticky and the basement was uninhabitable because of the musty, dank, wet smell. We did locate the dehumidifier in the basement but it was completely filthy and covered in mold. (Based on reviews, prior guests had complained about this so Pristine Vacation Rentals clearly knew and hadn't addressed it.) - The floor was *dirty* - Some of the “clean” cups and plates in the cupboard had crusted food and drink stuck to them - Black curly hair was on the mattress when we stripped the sheets in the morning - The fireplace didn't work - The TV didn't work - One of the kitchen stools was broken - A chaise was broken and buckled when you sat on it because a wheel was completely detached and had been propped back up. When this was relayed to Pristine Vacation Rentals they asked us why we didn't let them know so they could clean.. we were there for one full day, we kept discovering issues gradually, and we were also exhausted from grieving the loss of a loved one which is why we went to the mountains in the first place. Were they going to spend the entire day we were there cleaning the house that was already supposed to be "pristine"? We conveyed this and never heard back. So disappointed.

My friends and I had a wonderful time. Plenty of things to do, hiking tubing,shopping, and going out to dinner.

Had a wonderful weekend. Property is a gem.

What a lovely spot to rent, great view, perfect set up, and super clean. Our friend retreat was perfect here. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. We all agreed this would be great to rent again, thanks!

Secluded peaceful location, but close to everything you need. Amazing views from the deck. House has everything you need to relax and recharge.

This property has everything you need for relaxing and more! Beautiful decor, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, beautiful views, and amazing hot tub. We had a great time and would highly recommend this property.

loved the location, getting there is a little difficult. was very disappointed in the bedroom down stairs was damp and mildew couldn't sleep down there.had to rearrange our sleeping assignments, parking also very difficult to turn around especially if had more than one vehicle but overall had a great time would recommend it,and would do it again .

Everything was great--clean, secluded location, hot tub, mountain vistas from the back deck, quick communications and replies from property manager. Definitely a great place to get away and reduce your connectivity a bit.

A true gem in the woods! Peaceful and beautiful inside and out.

The. cabin has lovely views in a tranquil and quiet location. Tons of space and a well-supplied kitchen. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck overlooking the mountains or gazing at the night sky. We also enjoyed hiking on the mountain and waterfall hikes along and near the Parkway. We can recommend Suddreth Automotive in Spruce Pine in case you run into car problems during your vacation, as we did.

Could not ask for a better mountain house. Also extremely clean

Beautiful mountain getaway, We thoroughly enjoyed our experience staying in this beautiful mountain getaway! The views were magical the home was very comfortable and we all slept like babies!!! We appreciated every special touch!!!

Great setting on the mountain, loved the creek and view. Our family loved our time there.

House is off the grid, which we liked with creak running through. Very Clean with nice hot tub. only 5 miles to town. downstairs had damp odor, which could be solved with a dehumidifier. Since we all stayed in upstairs 2 bedrooms not a problem. Great long range mountain views from kitchen, dining area and living room/deck.

Perfect place to getaway. Private, great view, hot tub, plenty of space inside. This is a great place to spend family time...they even allowed our dogs to come which saved us a ton in boarding fees. Absolutely worth it to check this place out.

I rented this house for the long Columbus Day weekend And enjoyed everything this property had to offer. Very private and quite. Exactly what I was hoping for, and not far at all from the neighboring cities of Asheville and Boone. Overall it was a great experience!

great

Gross!...This cabin was simply not clean despite multiple confirmations that it would be thoroughly cleaned before we arrived in order to comply with COVID-19 requirements. There were bugs in the upstairs shower, bugs in the kitchen sink, bugs in the basement, bugs in the bed, and spiders everywhere. The basement was SO damp that we were not even able to utilize that space. There was dust everywhere as well reflecting once again the lack of cleaning that was taking place. When I couldn't take it anymore, I finally contacted the owner towards the end of the week they said I should have done so earlier and there was nothing they could do for me.

We loved our stay! The house was so secluded, peaceful, and quiet. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. The amenities were top notch. Ours kids really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after long days of hiking and sight seeing. We also enjoyed all of the board games that were provided. So many things to do within a short driving distance. We will most definitely be returning!
