What a gem! We had a terrific stay--the property is updated, clean, well-appointed, well-stocked, and so cozy. Staying in a gated community gave us terrific access to some amazing hikes.
The house was beautiful and very comfortable, and the owners generously share all the best with their guests. I've never stayed in a vacation rental with such a well-stocked kitchen--there wasn't a utensil lacking for our stay. The owner provided the basics too, so we didn't have to lug toilet paper, hand soap, or shampoo.
We enjoyed the slackline, watching the deer grazing in the yard, sampling the great record collection, playing with Legos, and simply relaxing at the house between hikes.
The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with, and even checked in on us during our stay.
Blackwater Falls, Dolly Sods, and Canaan Wildlife Refuge were great (Freeland Rd boardwalk). Ice cream in town was great, but lots of dining options have limited days/hours of operation, or were unexpectedly out of business. Plan your meals accordingly!
I would definitely love to return for another getaway @ Timberline!
