Our group of three families stayed at Emerald Bear in Maggie Valley, NC for a ski weekend trip and we couldn't have been more pleased. From the ease of booking to the responsiveness of the Yonder team down to the actual house, we were pleasantly surprised. We usually go into a rental house expecting to be disappointed, but with each turn, we were pleasantly surprised! The house was clean, well-equipped, spacious enough for 11 people and comfortable. The hot tub was immaculate, plenty of towels for everyone. The bedrooms were clean with ample sheets, pillows, etc. The kitchen was decent, not gourmet, but it worked for our purposes. We all loved the setting and enjoyed both the propane fire pit as well as the wood fire pit. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are expecting to return next year for another ski weekend trip!
