Sep 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A perfectly-sized, lovely home surrounded by woods and nature. Very clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed its proximity to Chimney Rock and loved our nightly visits by a small black bear who tried (and failed) to open the trash receptacle holder with each visit. Thank you for a much needed vacation! ##### Kim S. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brent F. Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What an amazing home! It is beautiful, clean, and has everything you need and more to be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful surroundings. It is a perfect spot to get away and enjoy the wonderful outdoor amenities while stargazing. It is close to several resturants and places to grab a drink while enjoying the beautifil sunsets. Communication with the management team was prompt and easy. We are already telling our friends and family, and planning our next trip back. We may bring some others to stay near by at sister property Bear Paw, which was equally as beautiful. ##### Brent F. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy A.
