Absolutely Wonderful!
​
Everything about this place is absolutely amazing. The views, the house, the serenity! Beautifully put together and it has everything you need from comfy beds to all the kitchen supplies for cooking as well. The views though, did I mention them??

Wonderful Getaway!
This was the perfect getaway for my husband and boys. I wanted a beautiful Mountain View to wake up to, and I got more than I imagined! The pictures do not do it justice. The house had absolutely everything we needed, and more. We had such a wonderful experience with the owners and rental contact. Highly recommend!!

The House and Property were Amazing!
​
The property was amazing. We loved everything about it, the house, the view, the convenience to Hidden Hill Venue.
I would love to stay there again.
I would love to know the paint color of the walls inside. I am ready to paint my entire house. Thank you .

Best Family Vacation
​
My family traveled from Ohio to be a part of Taylor and I wedding day. They absolutely enjoyed this very clean and well organized house. They said now if we can duplicate it and place more of it throughout the Blue Ridge Parkway!! It’s hard to find nice places to stay at and this home blew all of us away. Thank you sooo much.

Amazing View
​
The view was absolutely gorgeous! My husband and I wanted a change of pace with our 3 kids (3, 5, 6). We were able to work a few days with that wonderful view. And the rest of the time, we enjoyed the mountains. South Mountains Park is only about 45 min from the house as well as Lake James! We had a wonderful time and hope to be back soon!

Perfect Getaway!
This house is beautiful inside. The house was clean and had everything we needed (except groceries of course). The house has this homey feeling to it that welcomes you in and you don't want to leave. The many windows in the house and deck allow for you to enjoy the beautiful view. On the property we seen wild turkey and deer. Such a relaxing and peaceful place.

Breathtaking Views For A Relaxing Family Getaway
​
Our family had a great time at this beautiful home! Finding the perfect mountain house for a family traveling with two kids under the age of 3 that would also feel relaxing for us adults was a challenge. This house far exceeded our expectations! The kids were able to enjoy being outside safely on the fully enclosed back porch with us. The home also had kid friendly amenities from kitchenware to toys. Check in was easy, and the home was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend, and we hope to return for another great stay.

Family Getaway
​
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Everything we needed was available. The manager and owner both ensured we were satisfied and responded quickly when we had questions. We would definitely be back. My kids enjoyed the games and bunk beds. The adults enjoyed the peacefulness and the beautiful Mountain Views. Fireplaces were bonuses. Kitchen was well stocked with lots of dishes, pots, pan and every gadget you might need. Thank you to Lou and Liz. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Karen for being so prompt. We appreciate you.

Absolutely Beautiful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at this beautiful home. We loved the decor, the views, and the peacefulness. Karen was very responsive, though we didn't need to bother her during our stay. Between the labels, guest guide, videos and pre-trip email, we were able to navigate everything pretty well. Thanks for a great getaway. We can definitely do this home again!

Family Quality Time
​
Place was perfect for some family time! Bring your games, stock up the frig and enjoy each other. Not many activities but Lake James State Park is not too far. The weather did not permit but this is a place you can go swimming and/or enjoy a hike. Kids still enjoyed running down the lake sand while getting sprinkled on!!

Thanks for staying with us! There are lots of things to do within about a 30 minute drive.

We are happy to supply detailed information to each guest if the desired activity is nearby. Come back anytime!

Stunning Views and Peaceful Retreat
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our week in this beautiful home. Views for days…literally. I never got tired of enjoying the views in every direction!
The house is sparkling clean. The home is beautifully decorated with lovely and cozy furnishings. They even have soft blankets for curling up on the couch and enjoying the fire. Our kids loved having their own space downstairs. There was plenty of space for family time too. We enjoyed game nights and movie nights. There is a cabinet with board games and a great foosball table. We brought some of our favorite games and enjoyed quality family time.
The kitchen is fully stocked with all the tools you will need. We cooked all our meals here and had everything we needed down to pretty much every spice. We enjoyed dinner in the outdoor dining area each night. We loved the peace and quiet of this space. Only a handful of cars would drive past the road below the house (none in front). This was the private and peaceful getaway my family needed after a year of homeschooling and working from home.
The linens and towels were of incredibly good quality and the mattresses were comfy. There is plenty of space to unpack and make yourself at home. The closets are spacious and clean.
Karen, the property manager, provided detailed area information prior to our travels. She answered all my questions and shared event info for the time we were there. The house also has a binder full of activities, restaurants, shops and more. The instructions provided were spot on. We had no issues entering the neighborhood or accessing the keys to the home.
We enjoyed hikes to some beautiful nearby waterfalls including Linville Falls, Roaring Fork Falls, and Setrock Creek Falls. Lake James state park is not far either (perfect for summer activities).
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us :)

Beautiful!
This is an amazing house. Sparkling clean, lovely furnishings, and amazing views! The setting is truly peaceful, a great place to get away from it all. The kitchen was stocked with all the tools you would ever need, and there were nice touches like blankets to wrap up in when it’s cool on the deck. Communications prior to our arrival were timely and clear, and we got a quick response to a question about how to start the fire in the fireplace. We couldn’t be happier!

Mountain getaway
My family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The pictures do not do justice to the spectacular views in every direction! The property manager was very responsive and getting into the house was a breeze with the instructions provided. The home looks exactly as pictured and not a detail was missed in the design. This is probably the best stocked house we have ever stayed in as well...though we brought everything we thought we would need there is always something to forget and we noticed a lot of items were already in the house which was really nice (it saved us a trip or two to the store to pick up that one small item we needed or forgot). We loved using the outdoor dining area and the outdoor fireplace all weekend. It was very quiet in this area, not really any cars passing by and we didn't see any of the neighbors except for one that kindly helped us get the pilot light lit for the outdoor fireplace. If you've ever looked up at a home on top of a mountain and wondered what the view is like from up there (or how they managed to even build house up there) then this is the spot for you. The only downside would be if you were making frequent trips to town or to do other things, it takes about 20 minutes to get down the mountain on some winding roads. However, we loved spending a couple days enjoying the quiet views and amenities that this home had to offer. It was a wonderful getaway...thanks for sharing!

Beautiful views!
If you are looking for a remote mountain getaway this is the one for you! This home had everything we were looking for, phenomenal views, great porch, fully stocked kitchen, toys for kids - even a baby gate for the stairs! The owners had everything labeled and a nice welcome binder full of information about the house and area. It was easy to feel right at home. It was a bit far from beech and sugar mountain (1hr 30min) so keep that in mind if you are looking to take in those activities while on your trip. We enjoyed our stay here very much.

Thank-you for staying with us! We hope that you enjoyed our light snowfall! The ski areas are an hour away from Morganton proper, by the time you reach the bottom of our mountain, it adds to the drive time. We hope that you made lots of good memories! Summer is also great, with the lake and lots of trails nearby. Come again anytime. Karen

Spoiled with the views
We‘ve rented all over the country, short term and long term. This Vacation rental by far exceeded our expectations. We aren’t used to having high quality amenities available for use. It was well stocked, beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable. The kids had the entire downstairs to themselves and loved it. They also enjoyed the wild life that visited, especially the wild turkey. The place sat up high on the mountain. The views of South Park Mountain were breathtaking. The owners of this vacation property take very good care of their home and did a good job making us feel invited. Can’t be happier with our experience and look forward to coming back.

Stunning house, amazing host, already planning our next visit.
We could not have asked for more! We loved the place and the house! We rented the house for our family vacation and we had such an unforgettable and amazing time we are already planning our next visit. The place was exactly what we were dreaming for a perfect vacation. Spectacular surroundings, stunning views, super comfortable and large spaces. Although very spacious still super cozy and warm house. We love to cook and the Kitchen was equipped like a restaurant, anything you might need is available, almost new and pristinely clean. I have a 4 and 5 year old and they also enjoyed so much. They absolutely thought about everything to equip the house. Like-new Board games, card games, a PlayStation, drawing and coloring supplies, everything! Karen was very responsive to text and calls, access was very easy.
