The house was perfect for my large family. The way all the bedrooms were located in the house was perfect for different needs of my children and grandchildren. The location was perfect to Appalachian State university. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place with a large family. Felt like home.

Lovely house on a good lot with nice views. Master was quite nice. Patio was quite nice, a tv over the outdoor fireplace would add a lot.
The only place to watch TV is a small study that is not well furnished. If there was a TV in Living area and outside over fireplace, I would rent it again.
