Wonderful home for a large group

We had a great stay in a beautiful home near Sugar Mountain. We were a group of 4 families and the space was perfect for us with stunning views. The kids in particular loved the game room arcade that was full of games they enjoyed during our stay. Subtracted 1 star due to sparse communication with the property management company. We reached out with a few questions and never heard back. We also really wished the check-in could have been a bit earlier than 4 and the check-out a bit later than 10. Overall, though, fantastic property for a large group.

Great family vacation house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a fabulous home for a family to share Thanksgiving! The kitchen was a fabulous place to prepare a large dinner. There was plenty of dining areas to seat all 15 of us. The favorite area of the house was the downstairs playroom. The kids played there our entire stay so that gave the adults a quiet place to have conversations and watch Carolina basketball! Thank you for allowing us to make more family memories!

Great view but stinky

The view is amazing but there was smell in the property. When we entered the garage there was trashed piled on the floor plus trash loaded on the back off the golf cart must of been there for days. I called the emergency number of the property management and was told the maintance people would come on Thursday and when know one showed up I found the local dump and took the trash there. When I left on Monday trash was still on the golf cart. The money I spent for the 5 days wasn't worth it.There was ton of flies because of the trash. We where up in the area for my son wedding and although the view was amazing everything else was stinky

Family Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All of our group (Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and Georgia) are back home after a fantastic week on Sugar Mountain at the cabin. We had a family reunion and the adults loved the upper porch, fireplace, grill and kitchen. The kids took over the game room and had a good time.All the bedrooms worked out well. Very comfortable and great space for those that wanted some quite time. I was surprised how well the internet work with dozens of devices and TVs going on at same time.The kitchen was very well stocked and we took full use of the two ovens, grill, two fridges and the electric griddle. Also a couple of huge soup pots that came in handy.Great location for Blue Ridge Parkway and Grandfather Mountain. Also enjoyed Elk City. Local grocery and ABC stores came in handy.
