Fantastic stay!
This property is so well maintained and beautifully decorated. It has everything you need or want. I appreciated the garage parking, fully stocked kitchen, and the little touches they put into this home, right down to the throw blankets for watching a movie on the couch. Honestly, I cant think of one negative thing about it. We will definitely return.

Family Getaway
The sweet birch retreat is by far the best property we have visited. The pictures do not do it justice, and the amenities are plentiful. We were centrally located to all of the activities that were both planned and unplanned. We ate dinner the first night in town, at My Father’s pizza, visited the Biltmore, Sandy Bottom Trail Rides, and Stepp’s Hillcrest apple orchard. We had a fantastic vacation and look forward to returning to this beautiful home and area!
