During our stay, the outside temps were often in the single digits...unusually cold even for this area. The max setting on the thermostat was 74, which meant the main level was tolerable, the upstairs master was toasty, and the finished basement was almost uninhabitable...too cold to relax or sleep comfortably. The gas log furnace in the basement den has no chimney or exhaust pipe to evacuate the buildup of fumes and CO2 that occurs once you turn it on. It is certainly not anything one should leave on all night as a heat source. If one reads the welcome/instructions letter from the owners, you are cautioned to "crack a window", which obviously defeats the purpose and allows cold air to enter the space. The bedding was so firm and hard (with the exception of 1 bed on the main floor bedroom) it was difficult to sleep comfortably in the master suite king upstairs. Memory foam, or whatever the mattress material is, must be an acquired taste - one with which we had no familiarity, and after becoming familiar with it, no desire to ever sleep on it again.The gas cooktop had to be lit with a lighter (provided) as the electric/spark igniters aren't working.Great location and potential. The bottle of "two buck Chuck" wine was surprisingly decent.

We loved this house! Very nice touches throughout and awesome that it was decorated for Christmas! Only two things that would possibly improve it is more seating on the main level and if the hot tub was working. That aside this house is awesome and we’d stay there again for sure!

Was a beautiful cabin and close to everything.

We were disappointed to find that the hot tub was broken during our stay (which we didn’t find out about until after the cancellation deadline. I never heard back regarding what could be done to accommodate us cost wise since that was a main reason for renting the house. The house didn’t feel super clean. There is a heavy musty smell upon entering the basement. It didn’t seem as though the deck is ever swept or the rails wiped…there were very aged spider webs (while I realize that is an exterior area, it was clear the webs never get taken care of). The coffee pot still had the previous renters grounds in it. We never used that pot for that reason. There was a broken glass left in the cupboard as well, so it just didn’t feel like the cleaning company is very thorough. Evolve isn’t super swift about responding either. I’d much rather deal directly with a homeowner than a company.

Beautiful chalet with all the amenities! Plenty of extras as well such as coffee, cozy blankets, shampoo and body wash. It's a great place to have your coffee on the deck surrounded by beautiful mountains. The kitchen is on the second floor so anyone planning to stay should be able to climb stairs. I would definitely recommend this property.

Sorry for the delay in writing this but it was a great place lots of room very great accommodations for a good family get away for the graduation

Beautiful, clean home with great decorations for Christmas! This home is not high in the mountains….but it still has pretty views! Everything was clean and a welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch! The only downside was the size of the living area/dining area. Most of the space is for sleeping spaces but not a lot of “hang out” space for a house that sleeps so many guests! In warmer weather there is ample deck space to extend the living area. We had three teens with our family of five and it would’ve been great to have more space to be together…the living room seats three (loveseat plus an oversized chair). But for a smaller party it would be perfect! It’s a beautiful, well maintained home.

The property is as advertised. It was well equipped and the beds were great. It was not a steep drive and close to Boone and convenient to ski slopes, Grandfather Mountain and Linville attractions and the parkway too. Will definitely stay here again.
