Just okay

Overall, the place was okay. There was no shampoo, conditioner or soap, and there were light bulbs missing out of the fixture. I couldn’t find the coffee maker. It provided me a place to sleep for the night, but that’s all that it did.

Excellent

The house was beautiful. Setup was outstanding. We love the cardinals and everything about faith and pleasant homey like setting. Couldn't find a hot tub but we wasnt there long enough to use one anyway everything else was awesome. We love the swing on the front porch as well. Will definitely keep this address in mind next time we go to Lake Chatuge. Thanks Nicole for staying in touch checking in to make sure we made it and everything being okay.

Refreshing

We were the first guests and everything was well prepared for us. It was easy access from town, clean and charming. Communication was easy and prompt. Laying on the porch bed swing and looking at the mountain was amazing. We will be back.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood holds a special place to me. I was raised a few houses up the street. This house holds a very dear place as it is the house my grandfather built. I was able to purchase the home and remodel it to turn it into an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

What makes this property unique

Great view of the mountains and very peaceful neighborhood
