The drive up the mountain is amazing, with beautiful views. We saw deer numerous times and bear twice on the ride. There are a few very steep climbs and switchbacks, so be sure you have good brakes before you begin.
The property is set back from the edge, so do not expect to walk out on the deck and have an uninterrupted vista. The view is certainly there, but you have to walk out to the road for the long distance views. Also, don’t assume that there will be rocking chairs or comfortable seating waiting for you in the front porch. Sadly, when we visited, there were two dirty plastic chairs. That’s it. The porch is long and wide and could be amazing, but it needs furniture. The Adirondack furnishings in the pictures on a small back porch and are cable-locked into place.
The interior of the house was clean and comfortable. (Be aware that you are NOT allowed to build a fire in the fireplace. That was disappointing.) The beds are comfortable and we found bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths nicely arranged and waiting on top of each. Plenty of hot water in the showers . Cheap single-ply toilet paper in the bathrooms, but the home is on septic so I understand. The kitchen was well supplied and had everything we needed. There are very large windows in the rear den that have a very nice view, so we spent out time in there.
Did we enjoy our time on White Oak mountain? Yes. Would we rent this same property again? Maybe, but probably not.
