Jan 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Excellent location in proximity to ski slopes Great stay but it seemed housekeeping was interrupted before finishing. Towels left wet in washing machine and linens cleaned but not on bed. Judging by other reviews this was an anomaly. Would stay again. ##### Nick P. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Adam K. Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Disappointing The house was not clean when we arrived. Dirty glass and silverware in the sink, leftover food in fridge, trash was not taken out, kitchen counters and stovetop were not clean, dishwasher full of semi-clean dishes (full of so many pots/pans/glasses/cup/dishes that none of the pans were clean, and most of the silverware needed to be rewashed). I’m not sure that the bed was remade in the master - sheets were unkempt under the comforter at any rate which did not give the most confidence considering how dirty the kitchen was. A few other cleanliness issues. We spent some time cleaning and wiping counters when we arrived so we could use the kitchen. The management company said the right things (when not a chat bot responding) but none of the issues with the dirty space were resolved by them and they did not refund any of the cleaning fees. I feel bad for the owners who probably have no idea how poorly the cleaning crew handled their space. Also, the pictures on VRBO suggest a nice entrance to the unit - in fact it is 3 short exterior flights of stairs down from parking (not a big deal) through a mildewy stairwell corridor to a bottom floor unit. Thankfully there was air conditioning because you do not want to open the bedroom windows since they look out under the wood deck stairwell at the front of the unit. Close to Banner Elk and slopes. Overall very disappointing and would not stay again. ##### Adam K.

Dec 29, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Moldy This is a basement condo. As soon as we entered the condo, we were overpowered with the smell of mold. We opened the sliding door to get fresh air in, but opening other windows just brought in more mold since the other windows are at ground level under a deck. A dehumidifier in the living room and obvious water damage in the kitchen floor were dead giveaways. When I contacted the owner, he suggested running the air conditioner. We had to stay that night due to sold out hotels, but left the next morning. The owner claims that everything is OK, and refused any refund. Mold is really dangerous and can cause some long term health conditions. ##### Don K.
