Fantastic site amenities for everyone...the only reason for a 4 star vs a 5 star, is traffic noise early morning, but with the boom going on in that area, everyine is building homes and that means trucks of lumber etc... other than that FANTASTIC!! ##### Kelly W.

The kitchen has everything you need and top end appliances. The sheets and bed are like home. The a-v equipment is perfect. Outdoor fireplace and grill. Spectacular. ##### dave p.

Joanie and the property management team were extremely responsive and actually reached out before the trip to make sure everything was setup and ready for us. They were very helpful, even reaching out during our stay to check and see if we needed anything. The house is phenomenal, and was perfect for our trip. It provided perfect accommodations for our golf group. We would definitely recommend this house, and we would absolutely rent it again. ##### Sean C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathie B. May 4, 2018 #### Beautiful! The house was beautiful and super clean. It had beautiful views and was very relaxing. Loved watching movies in the theater room, playing pool/board games, cooking and relaxing on the gorgeous deck. . Great bedroom suites with comfortable beds and great bathrooms. Wonderful home that we all loved it. Kitchen was well stocked, gas fireplace was lovely and house was super spacious. Definitely worth the money. I can't say enough. Highly recommend and Joanie is great! ##### Cathie B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Labor Day weekend Last minute Labor Day weekend getaway with family. Very clean and spacious. Could not watch movie in theater room, but besides that everything was wonderful. When called the property manager to inform, someone responded promptly. I would definitely recommend and would come back again ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew C.

Perched on a mountainside with remarkable views, this is a very spacious and comfortable home. May be the best appointed kitchen I have rented, and the instances of forethought just keep coming. The sticks for marshmallows are at the fireplace. Green egg maintained 600 exactly as long as asked. There are many amenities in this neighborhood. A super place - five well earned stars. ##### Matthew C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Ryan B.

We found cigarette butts all over the balcony of the hot tub. We would love this items resolved before we book next year. ##### Ryan B. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart I. Mar 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### A great family reset The property is so well put together. The electronics and appliances are state-of-the-art but straightforward to use. My one area of feedback is for the property company (not the property owner). The after-hours phone line needs some improvement; the call center should have at least the basic details of the property to help with emergencies (for example, the electrical breakers, water outlets, etc.). An outstanding technician, Mr Trapper McGuire, resolved our issue the following day, but the call center needs to improve to avoid dangerous situations. I would 100% come back and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks for everything The Irving Family ##### Stuart I. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra H., Saint Augustine Florida Jan 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful! We loved our stay! I have to say the pictures online do not do the property justice. Everything you could think of has been covered! The place is located perfectly and is stunning. We enjoyed the neighborhood UTV rentals all week as well! When we had a question by text we got a prompt response even on a Sunday! We would stay in this property again for sure! My only take away was after a 8 hour drive and arriving at 4PM the cleaners were not done so we all stood outside for 20 mins waiting for them to be done cleaning the property. Another note is the rental company does have a way for you to order firewood and I assumed all 3 fireplaces were wood burning and ordered 7 days worth of firewood. For other renters the only wood burning firewood you need is if you use the outside fireplace. The main floor inside fireplace is gas and the game room fireplace is for looks only. But we loved using the main floor fireplace! Other than that we loved the home so much and will be back! ##### Sandra H. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### steven n., New Albany Sep 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### superb home The home is far superior to anything pictures can do justice. Having built 3 homes in the 850-million dollar range, I can attest that the owner thought out everything in this home and spared no expense. The furnishings are super comfortable and the kitchen has absolutely everything and anything you could possibly want. The basement is very well equipped and there are endless board games etc to keep you busy. The location is perfect as it's high enough to have a beautiful view but not so much that you need oxygen to go all the way to the top of the mountain which can take time. Easy in and out for visiting Grandfather mountain, Boone, Sugar mountain, beech mountain or anything you may want to explore in the area. We did go up and rent a couple of ATV's to explore the trails in the community which was a gas. We went to Grandfather Winery north of Banner Elk and it sits right by a river and is very peaceful. A couple of negatives is the construction traffic starts at around 7 am for workers heading up the hill which can be noisy but they did not bother us at all. The ice maker was not working and the player piano would not accept CD's to play. 2 bedrooms windows would not open for the cool night but I'm sure they would have come right over to fix but we didn't mind as we were only there 3 nights so we didn't want to give up the privacy of just having the house to ourselves with no maintenance personnel coming in. We will rent the house in a heartbeat again and plan to. Beautiful stay. I hope they don't ever sell it and just keep renting it ##### steven n.
