Beautiful mountain getaway

The property is located at the top of the mountain and has beautiful views. The house was spacious with lots of common area and plenty of amenities to enjoy ( pool table, jacuzzi, game tables, etc)We had a couple issues and the response time was so delayed as to be unhelpful. Apparently power outages are common and we didn’t know how to reconnect the internet. A response hours later in the middle of the night was so late it was not helpful.The kitchen was spacious but lacked some quality tools like spatulas. Overall we had a wonderful stay and it waswas nice.

Great family retreat with wonderful views

Delightful property. Up the mountain yet still close to town. Loved drinking coffee and watching the fog in the valley come and go. Keep an eye open for a mama bear and three cubs!

Nice

Lovely home with beautiful view, well stocked kitchen - we had a great time in Waynesville, and even got to see a mama bear and cub by the driveway! That being said there were a few areas that would have made it five star…the gas grill was dirty and out of gas, there were only two usable pool cues the others were missing tips, the fireplace downstairs would not stay lit, I think it may have been out of gas? There is construction on a lot below this house, so there was that construction noise M-F and it was a bit of an eye sore so we tried to take our pictures from an angle without it, but not a lot owners can do about that but it did affect our enjoyment of the porch/view. The last night we were there the neighbors with the locked gate were having a get together and were loud enough that we just went inside since it made it hard to enjoy the porch and nature. We did get a lot of joke mileage about having to supply our own TP…overall nice house.

Mountain Cabin

This home was at the top of a mountain. It had stunning views of the valley below as well as of other mountains. The house itself was large. It could sleep 3 couples and two others. It was in great condition. The drive up the mountain was intimidating to some in the group. But the view made is. worthwhile. I highly recommend the house.

Family gathering

The property was perfect for a large group. The kitchen could have used more drinking glasses, there was only a mishmash of small glasses for water. The kitchen was easy to prepare meals in. The livingroom was a nice gathering place for conversation and building a warm fire. The views are amazing! The game area and hot tub are added bonuses! Beware of the steep road getting up to the property. If the road is icy, I would be afraid to drive down from the house. I would rent this property again without question!

Mountain house

The property is beautiful and has great views. My only critique is that the downstairs bedroom needs some TLC especially a new mattress. Our family enjoyed our stay overall. We made memories that will last forever.

Great Family hiking weekend with adult children & family dog

Gorgeous mountain home with full amenities and view! Spacious enough for my husband and I and 2 adult children and their spouses, plus family dog. Close to Pisgah National Forest where we hiked a total of 24 miles over Memorial Day weekend - enjoyed the hot tub. Kitchen was large enough for us to make meals together. Precious memories were made sitting on the porch looking a mountains talking, playing guitars & piano ( available at house), and family meals around the large table. I would recommend to groups of 6 or more people.

Comfortable Stay in Waynesville

House was in a nice area and had a nice set up. The half bath in the bedroom upstairs was a nice little plus! Be aware-in bad weather you WILL need 4 wheel drive (the road up is VERY steep with lots of twists and turns). Kitchen could have used some more cooking utensils. We had to buy some spatulas and spoons (cooking for 7). A “check-in” binder with WiFi info and whatnot would have been nice-we had to reach out for the info after arriving. Also, being made aware ahead of time about the extra charge for trash would have been nice. Need to make that more obvious in the listing. It wasn’t a big deal, it was just frustrating to find that out when we arrived (as we were celebrating a family Christmas with 8 people, so we had A LOT of trash). Also, some of the sheets were a bit scratchy/hard, and we could have used a few more throw blankets upstairs as it got cold! Also, be aware that there were no blinds/curtains in the windows, so the mornings were early and bright. We loved the hot tub, the pool table and the view! House was also very close to a nice Walmart for last min shopping, and a few other stores.

The Mountain House Oct 22

The house is in a great location with a wonderful view. We enjoyed our stay and the local area. We had 6 adults 60+. My wife and I stayed in the lower level bedroom. The mattress had some sort of protective cover that crinkled and made noise every time you moved and the mattress wasn’t very comfortable. The bottom sheet kept coming off the bed leaving you on that mattress cover. We didn’t sleep well. One of the common comments by our group was that the furniture wasn’t really comfortable. The couch and love seat wasn’t bad but it was very slippery. Kitchen was good and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the game room, played pool and foosball.

Beautiful views!

Our party of 7+ (6 adults, 1 child and a beagle) really enjoyed this property. The views are spectacular. The listing was very accurate. The kitchen is well appointed. The location is a short trip into town. The master suite is very spacious. The basement bedroom, while nicely appointed with a bathroom, is not spacious. The stairs to get into the house are no joke. The outside stairs are not really needed because you go in and out of the house through the basement - which was nice when it was raining. But, the stairs from the basement to the main floor are not senior citizen friendly - something to note if you are traveling with grandparents. The only trouble we had with the property was arrival. We did not receive the code to the garage which is the only way into the house using the door code which is provided. We had a friendly black snake try to make it's way through the garage into the basement but we shooed him away. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and Waynesville is very nice.
