The views are beautiful and the hot tub was clean and comfortable. There were a few maintenance and cleanliness issues that leave room for improvement. Overall a good place with a nice view.

This property location is gorgeous! It was a stunning backdrop for our daughter's wedding. Even in the pouring rain. There were some issues with cleanliness/maintenance that were addressed with the owners. Overall, this home is wonderful for large families and gatherings. Well stocked kitchen & the game room was a huge hit! We would definitely rent again! Owners were very fast to reply and accommodating when we needed to check in early. Just a note in case you're needing for party/gathering. There was a 250 event fee that was tacked on that I didn't notice in the description.

Very accommodating
The house is very well laid out. Game room downstairs allows guests to have separate activities going on at the same time. Host was very responsive to requests, and checked in after the first night to see if there were any needs. The view from the porch is amazing , and we enjoyed the visits from neighboring horses. Highly recommend.

Brother’s Wedding
I rented this property for a beautiful quiet place to hold a wedding for my brother. We had 12 people stay at the house and a total of 23 people for the wedding. At no time did it feel crowded. The house was beautiful and covered all of our needs. My family had a wonderful experience there and would definitely wanna stay here again for a family gathering! I would recommend staying here to anyone! We all loved it!
This home provided the dream wedding for our daughter and new son-in-law! We spend a lot of time on the large wraparound porch just admiring the view!

Amazing Home
Our trip to North Carolina was amazing. We were there for a wedding but can see ourselves coming back just to stay at this property! The house is huge and great for multiple families. We had plenty of room. The ping pong table and basketball game kept the teens busy and engaged. The view was beautiful. The time spent at the house was very relaxing and enjoyable. We hope to be back!
