Family Trip
This property was great for my family trip to celebrate my parents anniversary. There was space for each family to have some privacy and the communal area was large and well laid out. The kids loved going to the indoor pool and we were close to lots of activities.

Great house in a great location!
The house was great for our family trip. We visited with 4 families, including 5 small children and the space worked very well for us. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and the check-in process was excellent. We had an issue with the hot water the first day, but it was dealt with promptly. The location of the house is perfect. We were near hiking, wineries, breweries, the alpine coaster, Grandfather Mountain and restaurants and grocery stores. The indoor swimming pool is right across the street and the kids had a great time swimming. There are two bedrooms downstairs. We used the bunk room, but prospective guests should know that the other room downstairs doesn’t have a door and was less usable as a bedroom.

Great Mountain Getaway
We really enjoyed this property. Overall, it was clean, well maintained, adequately stocked and a great location for all of our adventures. The living room was a little smaller than what the pictures made it seem, but we made it work. The porch and outside seating were awesome. The mattresses in all the bedrooms except master really need to be upgraded. I’m not usually picky, but these were pretty flimsy and cheap. And one or two more small/medium size pots for cooking might be helpful. Overall though, we had a wonderful week spent with family. The amenities at the resort were amazing and the communication with the rental company was right on point! We would for sure stay here again!
