Our vacation in the mountains was great. Blowing Rock downtown is quaint and fun, rafting was a blast and the Boone Fork Loop hiking was amazing.
However, we were not impressed with this property/stay, and I’m normally very forgiving. First, it says it sleeps up to 9 people, and my wife and I, with our 5 kids had a hard time sleeping 7. The pull out couch was horrible and had to put it on the ground, and it still was not comfortable for my wife while I slept on the couch to get some kind of sleep. The house was hot and I could not find the thermostat to save my life, so I slept with the deck doors open, and got scarred awake by a bear attacking the trash can one night. The bathrooms were very nice, but the shower walls had mold all in the grout. The hot tub great for the kids but it was over chlorinated. You get a very limited view of the mountains, as it was not high up at all. And in order to watch TV, you have to be an AV expert to understand the three remotes to make the system work.
The place has potential, but the pictures need updating, they should update the description so they don’t oversell the property, and then they need to address all these concerns so the next family can enjoy their stay. I’m sorry for the poor review, but it’s hard for me to give a great rating when it just wasn’t great.
