Staycation
Located in the mountains of Marion NC quiet little area. We enjoyed some downtime and the BigFoot festival this past weekend. Everyone in the area is so nice. The house was clean and well updated. Check in and check out was a breeze and the hosts communicated well with us. Will definitely stay there again if or when we go back to the same area.

Weekend getaway
Nice property. Good amenities. Large kitchen and bedrooms. Smart TV was nice as we could use our subscriptions. Driveway was a little steep and tight but that's to be expected in this part of NC. Overall we had a great experience just wished we could have stayed longer.

Mountain Getaway
We enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable home. We went hiking, tubing, and shopping in several small towns. Communication with owner was excellent! Only suggestion is curtains in family room and in upstairs bedroom. We would definitely rent here again.

Blue Ridge Getaway
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Breakaway Bungalow! We were visiting friends in the area for five days and it was in the perfect location. There were so many things to see and do in the area. The home was neat and clean, was nicely decorated, and was well equipped with everything we needed. Even though access to the home was up a steep, gravel driveway, it was easy to get to the house and we appreciated the solitude while still being close to the main road. We would definitely stay at this property again!

About the host

Hosted by Carl W Dornan

Host profile image
We are a family of 5; 2 adults, 2 children, and one dog. Like most, we are busy with work, school, home, and multiple activities. But when we can, we escape to the mountains. We love to explore waterfalls, mountain bike, or hike, and enjoy new places to eat and drink.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! The Breakaway Bungalow provides us with so much. It's in a private location surrounded by trees where we can instantly unwind but our favorite places are at our finger tips (We are talking Black Mountain, Mount Mitchell, Asheville, Brevard). There are plenty of restaurants, breweries, and wineries within a short drive, as well as quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, with amazing waterfall hikes and bike trails nearby.
