Katy's house was a brilliant place to stay in. I arrived to a wonderfully clean and open house - fridge stocked with craft beers ($2 each - well worth it and much appreciated after a long drive!!!)), lovely plush bed linens and towels, a/c buzzing (though I just used the ceiling fans and opened up windows for the beautiful fresh country air).
The whole place was very comfortable with a cool industrial chic - but still cozy. Equipped with all you would need in the kitchen, a gorgeously spacious bathroom and giant rain shower. It was great to have a washer and dryer and all the laundry detergents etc so I could take care of my daughters laundry from her 2 week camp.
Our dog loved running around the yard with Katy's dog Leah and drinking from the creek ... And we enjoyed running up to the Blue Ridge Parkway for exercise in the morning. i really appreciated all the details laid out in the "manual" - things to do, places to eat etc ... The house is brilliantly located as you feel away from the hustle and bustle yet you are close to groceries, restaurants and a short drive up the hill to some amazing hiking. I loved the patio space with a large dining table and the extra seating ... Really nice for sitting with a cup of coffee in the morning.
Mattt and Katy were super friendly - their house is a delightful place to stay. Highly highly recommended!!!
