We loved the house and the views. They experienced snow a few days before our arrival so we were lucky to have 4 wheel drive vehicles or we might not have made it to the house. The roads are adequate in dry weather but could be a little hairy if you are not prepared for snow and ice but remember you are in the mountains! The house was setup perfect for a large group and the views were amazing. We enjoyed the deck and the firepit. This is a great location to visit the downtown scene as well as enjoy the Blue Ridge Parkway and all the hiking areas. We will be back next year!
