Clean and cozy with a killer view!

Close to local attractions and restaurants, yet tucked away on a private mountaintop location, we found this cozy, clean and comfortable vacation spot perfect for us. Awesome view, well-stocked kitchen, handsome furnishings, and huge deck, this location is highly recommended!

A Blessed Week away from Heat

It was very cozy in the "Owls Nest", and comfortable. The porch of Grandfather Mountain was Breathtaking. The house had everything we needed to have an incredible visit.

Gorgeous mountain home stay

Title: A Perfect Mountain Retreat! I recently stayed at this stunning mountain home, and it was an incredible experience! The place was impeccably clean and well-maintained, showcasing the owners' pride in their property. The rustic charm, complete with wooden beams and a cozy fireplace, created an inviting atmosphere that felt like home. The outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee with beautiful mountain views. I can't wait to come back and stay again—this place truly is a gem!

Beautiful long weekend

Great condo, fabulous long-range view. Unit was clean and well stocked. It would have been nice to be able to reach the cereal bowls, and to use the lamps by the sofa. Lightbulbs were missing in the smaller bedroom, and lightbulb in the nightlight had burned out. High quality sheets and thick towels - thanks for everything!
