10/10 Excellent
"*60th birthday getaway with 3 adults, 2 dogs. This place is amazing. Spacious, clean, well stocked, private, quiet, surrounded by beautiful trees and a view. This was the best dog friendly rental I have ever stayed at. Decking on multiple levels with secured gates, helped with dog management. And a fenced in area behind the house. This area is extremely steep, but it offered secured exercise time and if you get your dogs running up the hill they’ll be tired in no time we used it multiple times every day. There is a door to the back from the lower level basement, which helped separate our dogs from the rest of the house as needed. Lots of comfortable space inside and seating outside. Very serene and pretty. I worked remotely while I was there and the wireless was very reliable. Quick access from the main road. Very close to a huge awesome Ingles grocery store. Close to Chimney Rock and Minutes to Lake Lure. We will definitely be back. Lori"
