Location was great! 10-15 min from Downtown and about 45-1hr from longer hikes. 25 min from Catawba Falls. We loved staying here. Lots of space for 4 couples and a baby. They even had a high chair & baby toys. The view was amazing at sunset and sunrise. I highly recommend staying here. If we have another big group, we will most definitely stay here.
The only thing I would say to expect is that the house is on a windy road in a mountain. I would get there before dark just to make it a little easier on you. Not a bad drive at all during the dark though.
