Nice property, some amenities not working att all, housekeeping definitely needs too improve in bathrooms and also alot of towels and bed sheets were dingy in color as they were white. Very peaceful and the property was overall nice, there was a tv missing.
Wonderful house with a beautiful view in every direction...plenty of space and very well laid out.. loved all the big gathering tables through out and the kitchen had more than you needed! Great communication and very helpful.
The cabin was very rustic in design and tastefully decorated with interesting wildlife accessories throughout! It was very comfortable and roomy for our family of 10 adults. The deck had plenty of chairs and rockers for us to enjoy the beautiful view of Fontana Lake and mountains. The big surprise was the 3 mile curvy road,with no guardrails, up the mountain to the cabin, once we entered the privacy gate!! We had a wonderful stay and made so many fond memories!
Words are simply not enough to describe this place. Heck, even pictures are not enough. The only way to understand how amazing this house is to stay in it. Morning coffee on the patio was my favorite part. This VRBO listing far exceeded my expectation.
