My family and I chose this house because of the amazing views and proximately to things we wanted to do - hikes, vineyards, and the Biltmore. We had 6 adults, a 2-year old, a 4-month old, and we rented the entire house.
We visited for Thanksgiving week and the views were even better than what is pictured. If you’re up early, you’ll see gorgeous orange/pink skies over the mountains.
Pros:
• Michelle was very accommodating with the timing of our arrival. She checked in on us throughout the week to make sure we were enjoying our stay.
• The views!
• Large house with enough space for our group.
• Proximity to things we wanted to do. Everything that we planned was within half an hour - Collier Cove Nature Preserve (right by the house), the Biltmore, Burntshirt Vineyards, Looking Glass Falls, Triple Falls, Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards, Lookout Point Vineyards, Granddad’s Apples. We also did the Rainbow Falls hike, which was an hour away but totally worth it.
• Amenities - laundry, WiFi, cookware, hot tub, fire pit, etc.
Cons:
• The upstairs guest room is not as pictured. It has been turned into an office and the guest room that we had to utilize had a couch bed.
• No screens on most of the windows. We opened a few to enjoy the cool weather but a big moth flew in right away so we closed them.
• If you stay in the lower level unit, you can hear everyone on the main floor. Not a big deal at night when everyone is sleeping but it was tough for the 4-month old to nap when the 2-year old was upstairs running around playing.
Overall, we had a great week and we’re glad that we found this house when we decided to drive north for the holiday!
