This property was nice for our little getaway! I loved the retro vibe of the house and the kitchen table is beautiful! The kitchen appliances have been updated since the posted pictures. We stayed on the main level and didn’t even go downstairs. We actually were on the go most of our trip and didn’t spend a lot of time at the house! I did enjoy the sunrise views from the deck and the gas fireplace at night! It was very close to the Hawks Nest Tubing, which is so fun! We also enjoyed hiking Rough Ridge, Skiing at Sugar Mt, the Alpine Roller Coaster, Dining in Banner Elk and shopping in Blowing Rock, and the Grandfather Mt Winery…ALL which seemed within 25 minutes of this house! The location was GREAT for our needs! The only thing that was hard for us was the trash removal. We got down the mountain with all our trash and the garbage dump was closed ALL DAY on Thursdays. It isn’t the owner’s fault, but how can this county expect you to bring your trash to dispose of and not be open every day in a touristy ski town? The people at a local restaurant were nice to let us use their dumpster. Overall, we would stay here again!
