Great views!

This is a duplex but parking is very tight. Thankfully no one was staying on the A side during our time, but if there was then parking would have been a nightmare. Needs lighting in the driveway and sidewalk to front door. Other than this at arrival most everything was great.

Great place to stay. But the pic of outdoor pool is for owners only. Shouldn’t be misleading. Kids were disappointed. Overall it was great!

The Trip With Access To Everything

This property is an underrated gem! Its location provided easy access to local activities, including Beech Mountain, and daily indoor swimming for the kids after being out in the cold! In addition, the property management staff was also highly responsive and could address the wifi issue within minutes of my reaching out. We are happy to report that this vacation stay with Foscoe rentals has set the bar for our future mountain vacations in that area.

Great location

The house is old and has not been remodeled. The cabinets show the age of the property. Cute space. Fireplace does not work, which was a let down. Could have used some blankets or throws for the living room. The TV is crazy old, and the one in the bedroom with the twin beds was broken. Internet was not consistent.

Fantastic Mountain House

My friends and I LOVED our stay at this property. The house is beautiful, spacious and has a great view from the multiple decks/porches of the mountains. Parking was the only potentially challenging thing as the property is limited to 2 cars onsite and we had a good amount of gear to load/unload, but it still wasn't that bad. We would LOVE to stay here again next year!

Pre Christmas getaway.

This getaway was planned to bring together my boyfriends son and daughter with my son to celebrate Christmas. This was a spacious, clean and perfect property for Christmas. The views were beautiful with a lot to do in the area. Our adult children enjoyed our trip and are looking forward to doing a trip together again.

Great location

This places was beautiful inside and out. The landscaping, view, easy access to everything, layout and amenities it offered for the price was great. My only complaints are the beds are super firm and while trying to enjoy the back deck you can hear cars by. So if you can look past those two things it’s great.

Great place, very clean, spacious, well appointed and perfect location. My only teensy complaint is the spotty WiFi. Would not have mattered but I ended up having to do work. If router got moved upstairs it may work better.

Anniversary Hiking Getaway

My wife and I had a four-night in July, enjoying the close proximity to wonderful hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The house had everything we needed. The porch and views of Grandfather Mountain were great as were walks around the hilly neighborhood.
