Gorgeous home and views

The home was everything the listing said, and more. Everything--the house itself, the beds, the linens, the kitchen--was quality through and through. We were able to get to the owner when we had an internet issue and it was resolved. All in all, a fabulous place to meet and make art. The mountain setting was a bit remote, but it worked perfectly to keep us focused and enjoying each other and the property.

Fabulous VRBO!!!

Spacious for 16! Very nice having a bathroom for each bedroom. Two large tables were great for dining. Kitchen is well-stocked. Gas fireplace made our stay cozy on a cold January weekend. The basket of blankets was appreciated. Enjoyed the downstairs space for those of us who like to puzzle. Beautiful view from the living area, some bedrooms, and the deck. The host was responsive to our needs. The mattresses were the best... so comfortable! Definitely would like to return!

We've been here 2 summers now and will continue to come back, we have a large family all over the Southeast and need a large house to sleep all of us. Our favorite parts - every bedroom has a bathroom, the common areas, the front yard & the views from the back porch and living room!

A Family Christmas Stay

This property is amazing. Spacious is an understatement. There were 12 of us and we were all very comfortable. The two living areas are spacious and comfortable with plenty of activities such as a pool table. The house was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. May be the cleanest and most comfortable property I have stayed at.

Great family gathering!

We've stayed at a lot of properties over the years as a family, but this one was the best! Beautiful home, gorgeous surroundings, comfortable and plush furnishings, plenty of room to gather or sneak off to enjoy some solitude. We hiked to a nearby waterfall, cooked family meals, gathered at the firepit to view the stars and roast s'mores, and went ice skating at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. We didn't want to leave!

Family Gathering

The home worked out great for our family gathering of 13 people. Plenty of room for privacy and the recreation area on the ground floor was enjoyed by everyone especially with some rainy days during the stay. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, etc and with 2 refrigerators accommodated storage for less trips to the grocery store. The host was very responsive with communication and information on activities in the surrounding area. I would highly recommend this facility for future events.

Amazing for a retreat

We had a wonderful time at this VRBO property. It was the perfect place for our remote company to meet in person for the first time. The property is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Each room has its own bathroom, which was very convenient for our group of eight. The common areas are cozy and inviting, with plenty of seating and entertainment options. The views are stunning, and the screened in area and the fire pit are great for groups. We enjoyed playing corn hole and relaxing by the fire. The property really elevated our experience and made us feel at home. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway..

Beautiful vacation retreat!

We had a party of 17 staying at this location. It was extremely spacious and had plenty of room for us all. It was equipped with more than enough towels, dishes and cookware, and even toilet paper, paper towels, and detergent. The location is beautiful - quiet with amazing views! The upstairs and downstairs washer and dryer were very convenient, although we had some trouble getting the upstairs dryer to start. May need a vent cleaning. I would highly recommend this property!

Christmas Memories at The Retreat

Our extended family had a magical Christmas 2022 at The Retreat in Mill Spring, NC. The house was nestled in a gated community in the beautiful mountains of Western NC. The grandeur of The Retreat was evident the minute we pulled into the driveway. The house boasted 8600 sq ft of beautiful, well appointed accommodations. The wood craftsmanship throughout the home was spectacular. The floor to ceiling windows provided breathtaking views of the mountains and golf course. The layout of the home was perfect for our group (aged two to eighty seven years). Each of the eight bedrooms featured their own bathroom en-suite bathrooms which were so convenient and private. All of the beds were super comfortable too. The open concept kitchen lacked nothing! It was supplied with every appliance, utensil, pot, pan, dish, etc. one might need to fix a meal. The media room with the pool table, chess /card tables, 70 inch TV and wet bar was a big hit with our younger crowd. Our elderly parents enjoyed relaxing by the beautiful stone, gas fireplaces. Even with the frigid temperatures during our stay, our grandkids were able to sit by the fire pit and fix a favorite dessert - s’mores. Check in and out at The Retreat was very easy. The owner, Ed, was great to work with. Our family had a wonderful Christmas ! We would absolutely rent this amazing home again! Wayne and Jennifer

All family members had their own space and yet we could come together in various spaces for a variety of entertainments.

Cozy and elegant

I have stayed in many vacation rentals and never have I been in a place that included so many amenities. The kitchen was WELL appointed. There were many, many glasses, cups, bowls,plates, platters, knives, spatulas, even an electric ice cream maker. A wooden box containing a selection of teas was available. There were pods for the dishwasher and washing machines. There was a large box of instant hot chocolat. We never had time to use. There was a good supply of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner. The towels were good quality and there was an ample supply. We went to play bridge but a fancy case of poker ships was available. With the fire pit came a nice supply of wood and kindling. There was even fire starter which we did not need. We had a wonderful time.
