'Beautiful 7 BR 5 Bath Log Home with a game room, Hot Tub, and Starlink internet

10/10 Excellent

"Great house!! There were 13 of us and we had plenty of room. Host and maintenance people were quick to answer questions and take care of a few minor issues. I think my only recommendation would be to put a second refrigerator on the basement. When you're buying food and drinks for that many people, one fridge was cutting it right. We would definitely come and stay here again."

The Farmhouse is located in the Beautiful Mountains of Western North Carolina.

8/10 Good

"There is a bad spot in the living room floor. It can be a liability. I almost tripped and fell. I was anxious about my mother falling. Otherwise it was quaint and quiet. Highly recommend once the living room floor is fixed. You will need to bring extra supplies like aluminum foil or parchment paper. Also you will need your own laundry detergent."

Enjoy the mountain view @ Panoramic Point a modern cabin w/Hot Tub+Wifi+Gameroom

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay here! Our grandchildren loved the gameroom and pacman game! The views were the absolute best and we spent almost every evening on the porch! The kitchen was very well stocked, which we appreciated since we were here a month! The cabin felt very spacious. The beds were comfy and the hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking! Tiffany was very responsive and the check in process was seemless. We would absolutely recommend this cabin and will be back to stay here again!"

Big Bear Hideaway Perfect Mountain Home

10/10 Excellent

"Great property! Very quiet, the deck area is very nice. I really enjoyed grilling in the evenings on the deck and winding down after a long day. The small lake down the hillIs nice. Everyone in the community is very friendly when out walking. The house is older but in great shape and clean. I will likely book it again if I’m ever back in the area."
