The property is beautifully landscaped and mountain views are amazing! From the time we booked until we checked out Josh and Amy were very responsive and helpful - answering any questions we had promptly! They offered us early check when they did not have anyone booked to check out the day of our arrival, which was so kind! The home was exceptionally clean 10 out of 10 🤩 We appreciated the small details like stocked coffee bar, drink holders in game room, towel hooks on the deck. Mattresses and sheets so comfortable! Fire pits, ping pong, cornhole, shuffleboard and of course the GOATS during our short stay we were able to fit in Biltmore, hiking/waterfalls, Alpine Coaster, white water rafting and plenty of time relaxing at the property - very convenient location! Lots of great local restaurants and shopping!

Wedding Weekend

The Property was fantastic, it had all the amenities we were looking for to celebrate our nuptials with our adult children. The steep driveway and parking for large groups proved to be challenging but achievable. The Goats kept us entertained and the views are exceptional. We hired an officiant to come to the home for the indoor wedding with family and it was an amazing experience for both my wife and I. Definitely a great venue for an intimate wedding. Thanks to Josh, Amy & the Goats!
