The photos don’t do the place justice. It has a beautiful view of the moutains, is located just far enough away from Asheville to feel like your immersed in the mountains and close enough to enjoy it with ease. We were 3 families with 6 adults and 6 teens and we fit in the place easily. There were enough dishes, etc for 12 but the kitchen overall contained only the bare essentials. We saw a turkey regularly and one evening we were blessed with a young mama bear and 2 cubs walking across the back yard. Beautiful views of the stars at night and a wonderful patio/deck area. Nice places to sit and socialize and with 12 of us we did not feel like we were on top of each other at all. I rated a 4 on the communication because the management company was a little slow to respond and give the code to the place to put garbage (Which piles up fast with 12). Otherwise the place was all 5 stars, there were no problems, check in was seamless, and we would all definitely stay again!
