This is a very quaint small home tucked away in the mountains and not too far away from gas and food and entertainment. I never met Mark and we only communicated once and that was fine we didn't need much to speak about. We screwed up and got to the home early, which was a surprise since it was 4:30 after our drive from Raleigh to the home. Ana our home contact who is the neighbor was worried she screwed up, and upon further review she didn't the check in was 6PM. That I missed in the all the hurry to get out here from Chapel Hill, so keep that in mind when you book this home the first day is really a few hours of night. The home itself has pretty much everything you need to entertain, or relax, oddly it has movies to watch and no TV. Not a big deal for us we kept busy with many other things and don't as a rule watch a TV - however, we are not the norm some people need a TV. The beds are different the smaller one is soft while the larger one is pretty hard, we got through that ok and if you need a soft bed the larger one is not for you. The toaster over is crazy slow, you need to just figure on about twice the time, maybe it is time to replace it? Over all the balcony was nice in the morning with the birds and fresh coffee, and Anna was nice and did a good job cleaning. Overall a pleasant experience, and on a side note not much walking about space outside the home if that is your thing, pretty much down to the street and that is it. We enjoyed it and it fit our needs, hope this review helps out.
