Pros and Cons
So, overall this is definitely an older home with interior that could use a fresh coat of paint and some TLC.
Pros: Exterior is beautiful, the front porch is really nice, and the location is great! It is so accessible to Waynesville, hiking, Ashville, etc. There is plenty to do and great restaurants, coffee shops, etc. within easy driving distance and the really lovely walk all the way around Lake Junaluska that is about 2.5miles right outside the front door.
Cons: You can see some of the quirkiness of this old home in the pictures (for example, stand-alone sinks in the bedrooms). And just because its old doesn't equate to bad but I think what really hurts this property as a rental is level of hygiene, the old bedding and dingy carpets which do not make it very comfortable. Cleanliness was really an issue. Our family has had plenty of experiences with rentals but there were some things that just grossed us out. We came in for the first time late after attending a wedding (about 11pm with check-in open at 4pm) and in the first bathroom although the "santized" tape was over the lid the seat and underside of the lid had still wet URINE and HAIR all over it. The floors were dirty (sticky in some places... yuck), and bugs. in. the. kitchen. and really all down stairs. Lastly, some of the bedding had stains which in my opinion is a really big no no for a rental. Another note for warmer months the air conditioning struggles up stairs and it is a bit tough for sleeping. The room units didn't really cool down ever and the ceiling fans weren't very effective either.
