I stayed here, having been raised in the mountains of NC with my husband and 2 kids (a 2 year old and infant). Overall the stay was great and the committees with towels, space and the ability to keep it clean was great. The only problem we had was the porch wood had a few splinters which my oldest found after tripping. Despite being in the mountains, the Wi-Fi was mostly stable despite cutting out a couple times but not enough to be inconvenient. It was very homey and I defiantly plan to stay here again when visiting NC again.

2/10

Nasty. The fireplace didnt work or the dishwasher. Floor had wet spots All over. The fire alarm was not working, no batteries. Missing light bulbs. Moldy refrigerator. Most of all the owners would not answer my comments.

great house just far enough from the town activities good view of the changing fall colors

6/10

The house was very clean and we found the seating and beds to be comfortable. The rental property is as pictured. However, some basic amenities are non-existent such as salt/pepper, aluminum foil, Kleenex and extra wash clothes/bath towels. There is Wi-Fi on the premise, but the network and password given to us was not correct. Even after numerous contacts with Vacasa, this was not remedied in our 4 days stay which severely limited planning of restaurant visits and daily activities. This would not have been an issue if dealing directly with the homeowner or if a basic notebook of information was provided.

Wonderful place to hang outside on the deck. Good view, small creeks on each side, quiet. Great place. Inside a little dated, but very comfortable.

8/10

The house is about 10 minutes up the mountain from Waynesville with a beautiful view of the mountains, quiet, serene, no traffic, a creek on either side of the house with a deep side porch to rock and enjoy the sunsets. It’s one floor, easy to get around, pet friendly. Large primary bedroom and nice size secondary with 2 baths. Have stayed before and did not disappoint this trip . Needs some upkeep maintenance- but not enough to keep me from coming back. Very clean on arrival with all the basics provided.

4/10

The house is in a beautiful location, but the listing is misleading. The driving directions are incorrect, and there's no guidance once you arrive. We attempted to contact management where to take the trash and never heard back. The house is outdated and has a smell. The advertisement listed a jetted tub which there wasn't. The fireplace in the living room didn't work, and we couldn't get the heater to work in the master bedroom. We woke up multiple nights freezing because it snowed during our trip. Management never answered our calls or messages. We also called VRBO. VRBO said they would call management and follow up with us. We never heard from either group. The listing is not worth the money.
