Was in the area for a surgery at Haywood Hospital . The property is a short drive and very convenient. Easy communication with owner and the house was clean and nicely furnished. Would definitely stay again .
Great place for all ages! Got a true mountain experience for the grandkids. We roasted marshmallows at the fire pit and they all loved the little creek behind it! Had everything we needed.
We arrived Friday evening and left Sunday morning. The home was perfect and relaxing and we spent a lot of time on the back porch taking in the views. Saturday we walked around Lake Junaluska and explored downtown Waynesville, both minutes away. Everything in the home was clean and cozy and we appreciated the updated open living space. We look forward to staying here again in the future, hopefully for longer, since there is so much to do and see in the area.
Nice property well keep, owner available to answer questions. We originally planned on staying 2 weeks but decided to stay an extra week. If you like the mtns you will like this view, while the drive up was a challenge after a day or two it became very manageable.
I brought my family to the mountains for the weekend. Excellent location we were able to shop, dine and spend a day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The home is family and pet friendly. We spent one evening playing games and roasting marshmallows by the the fire-pit. They supply everything you need minus toiletries. The home has a beautiful view of the sunset off the top porch which I loved. We will definitely be back.
Everything about our stay was wonderful. From first booking throughout the entire stay we had no issues. The house was exactly as described and a great place to stay. Everything we needed to spend the weekend with family was available.
Stayed here for our Thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful time. Mr. George was a super host, very accommodating for our special requests. We loved the gas gireplace, outdoor fire pit
Host was available right away to give us the access code, as VRBO had sent us the wrong code. Really enjoyed the beautiful sunset views from the wrap around deck which was perfect for our dogs. The house is very nice on the inside, except for the stove which had melted plastic on one of the burners. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and even saw a deer on the property.

It fit us 6 adults perfectly. We got lucky choosing this one.
Over the river and through the woods and up to gorgeous views! This property has been thoroughly renovated on the main floor with a well appointed kitchen, inviting living room space, wrap around porch, Fire pit area, and two comfortable beds and baths. Conveniently located near Waynesville, we enjoyed the downtown area with its restaurants and shops. Rode on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Visited Asheville. But more importantly, spent quality time as a family!The owner was super responsive when the access code provided via VRBO was inaccurate. The only nonissue was that no one wanted to stay in the downstairs bedroom suite. The pictures are accurate. We just didn't realize it was connected to partially finished basement space. More family togetherness! Would stay there again for sure!

Disappointed on arrival
The place is nice. Good location. However, They forgot we were coming. The place was not cleaned up from prior people. After a long day of driving we had to wash sheets, clean tub, scrub kitchen sinks and counters so we could eat and sleep. The bathroom door in one bedroom wouldn’t close all the way. Owner gave us a credit for one day, that was appreciated.
Can’t beat the price! Great if you don’t require bells and whistles.
A little dated. Carpet was very stained but clean. The hall bathroom shower will scream at you which we all got a good laugh at. The house rules need to be posted on website for review when booking as we were unaware of the dogs on bed policy and scrambled for extra coverings. All in all, this was a clean, quiet home to use as a base for our vacation outings. Beware of the steep road as my daughters car did bog down on the steep curves.

Sorry to say, but disappointing- needs work
Steven seems to be a very nice guy and is great on communication, but the property definitely needs some TLC, and a good scrubbing.
Positives- nice big deck areas (were dirty), nice view and sunsets, quiet, very peaceful and relaxing. Nice fire pit area (no wood- bring your own). Good hot water and A/C. Downstairs living area is clearly newer and than upstairs and a great area for family/friends to have their own space. Washer and dryer work great. Fridge keeps food nice and cold but ice maker does not appear to work (didn't care about that this is just an FYI. There are trays). Nice to wake up to birds singing!
Negatives- the upstairs carpet is disgusting and I would not consider staying there unless it was replaced. We walked in and it stunk VERY strongly like dog- there are large and numerous stains on the carpet. Steven got right back to us regarding this issue and told us to spray odorban on it which did help, but a horrid first impression. We opened the windows as much as possible. We stayed for 2 weeks and I sprayed odorban about every other day. The last 3 nights my daughter came with her dog, but we did not have a dog the other 11 days, so it was not from us. It was quite difficult to get past that odor!
As mentioned above, the decks were very dirty. There were 2 rocking chairs downstairs- one was broken. 6 Adirondack chairs-2 were broken. The outside table had to be leveled in order to eat off of it and the downstairs outside end tables were filthy. Kitchen stove had large melted plastic on one burner and could use a good scrubbing. There is definitely a need to replace and provide more cooking pots and pans and forks-I think there was a total of 6 miscellaneous sized forks. I used baking dishes but they needed to be covered in foil- they were pretty gross.
The property would best be described as tired and in need of some TLC. (And a better cleaning crew)
The drive up to the property is quite steep and there are some hairpin turns. This is not anything bad about the property-just be prepared for that. We wanted to be up high with a view so that is what we got. We jokingly referred to it as "one beer hill" because you would be very foolish to have more than one beer and drive up it. We made sure to be back before it was totally dark out after we drove up it in the dark once- it was pretty scary.
I am not a person to leave a negative review and it pains me to do so but I also think this is a realistic view of the property.
