Loved our visit!

The house was a perfect size for my family. I loved how responsive the homeowner was whenever we needed help. We really enjoy the Linville Land Harbor neighborhood; it’s very peaceful. We would love to return on our next trip to the mountains!

Nice little home in the mountains

We were able to get in and use the keypad lock with no issues, and how to use the alarm system was well documented. The deck is awesome. Covered deck with a hammock, plenty of seating and tables, and a gas firepit. It's a great social space or place to relax in the fresh air. I failed to realize that there's no AC in the home, but that's my own fault. We were staying during peak summertime, so the house was quite warm, even with the windows open at night and fans going to try to keep cool. The kitchen is open to the living room, which has comfortable couches and an additional eating area/card table. All instructions for using the on-site amenities were clear. The twin bedroom was quite small with no closet, but it was fine for sleeping and changing. We shared the master closet for the things we needed to hang. The master bedroom and downstairs bedroom had plenty of space. The pull out sofa had some rust stains, and despite that there were dehumidifiers running, it was somewhat humid inside. The owners were proactive in responding to community alerts and letting us know what was going on (there was some air in the community water pipes, no big deal). Overall it was a great little house to stay in.

The house from hell

The house was disgusting. The second master bedroom is actually in the basement with a dehumidifier running 24/7 and while we were there, the handyman came, and the filter was completely clogged. The basement smelled of mold or mildew. It needs to be tested. The rest of the house was filthy. The furniture was like somebody raided a thrift store and unless you’re agile, you will never get into the bathtub shower in the one bathroom that you’re able to use because there is a huge washer and dryer blocking your ability to enter. The owners agreed to return $1000 to me which they did all but $115 and expect me to chase them for the $115 and are waiting till the last day when I cannot submit a review and then not reimburse me The gentleman that rented the house before me had the same complaints and the owner claimed his review was not true believe his review and believe this review do not stay in this house. I have pictures and a list of all the issues. My husband who is ill, his illness was further exacerbated by the staying in this house VRBO must not look at these houses, nor do they make sure that they’ve cleaned or not My last experience withVRBo on Amelia island was fabulous. I am so shocked by this nightmare.

Awesome for pets!

The property was awesome! It was very pet friendly, and had an older style to it, but was very homelike. The beds were comfortable and there was a lot of room for everyone! The porch was huge!!! next time we’re up there we will rent again! The hosts answered any questions we had even when we unfortunately had to call them on Thanksgiving, they were great.

5 people 2 doggos and one amazing stay

We went skiing both at beech mountain and sugar mountain and Brenda's place was the perfect location! 20 mins to sugar and 30 mins to beech! It was very clean and tons of room! We loved that there were two porches (one out front and one out back). The back one is all closed in so if we wanted to sit at the fire table we could let our dogs roam. The front one is smaller but great view! We were able to see the moon with the telescope we brought which was so fun. We would go downstairs to play games and it was the perfect space for the 5 of us. We also were able to make all of our meals at the house which was great. If you wanted to she even has a crockpot so you could have a meal ready when you are back from adventuring. During the mornings we would take the dogs around the neighborhood and it was so peaceful. We also drove to a short hike that had an amazing lookout only 10 mins away and were the only ones there. We cannot say enough great things about Brenda's mountain house. Brenda was also very quick to respond to our questions and very nice! We would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family. Highly recommend!

House was great - hospitality was even better!

We rented this house for a long weekend of skiing at Beech Mountain (30min drive to the slopes). It had plenty of room for 4 adults and 1 dog. We loved that the eat-in kitchen was open to the living room so that everyone could spread out and still spend time together. This was also hands down the best stocked kitchen we’ve ever had in a rental property. Brenda was incredibly hospitable, easy to communicate with, and willing to accommodate a special request. We can’t wait to go back!

This was the perfect home. It was so nice. In the chilly weather, we loved the covered deck in the back with a gorgeous fire pit. We did not use much inside other than the beds, which were great. We would go back.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Kornblit Kennell

We fell in love with this house as a place we can come with our family members during all seasons. Even our dog loves hiking around the lake or along the river. We have enjoyed eating fresh caught trout, and sitting out by the firepit in the evenings.

Why they chose this property

There is so much to do within Linville Land Harbor - hiking, fishing, boating, golf, tennis, to name a few. At the recreation center there is a beautiful pool and several activities and game rooms. During the late spring - fall there are concerts and parties near the lake. You can hang out at the pool or on the lakeside beach.
Banner Elk is about 15 minutes away, with great skiing in the winter and hiking in the spring-fall. There are several fun festivals at different times of year. Boone is about 30 minutes away for skiing, concerts, shopping, and wonderful restaurants. In the winter, there is tubing in Jonas Ridge (about 10 minutes away), and you should drive the Blue Ridge Parkway during leaf season (5 minutes away).
