Overall this suited our purpose. We all had a great time. My husband and I took our adult children, young grandchildren and both our mothers. Everyone had a great time. There were a couple minor disappointments/discourages…which would have possibly kept me looking for another property if I had known…mostly sleeping arrangements. I knew we would be right and that someone would be sleeping on a pullout or air mattress which was fine. But the descriptions are (were) deceiving. It was not clear the upstairs bedrooms shared a bath. That has been fixed if you read the full description…go by that…it is the most accurate. Only difference is the downstairs card table is not downstairs (which is better because the dining only sits 6 so we used the card table for extra seating). There are 4 folding chairs in the garage…still not enough seats for a house that sleeps 12 to sit together but we made it work.
If you’re there for the Wi-Fi …don’t go. It absolutely is not strong enough to even check your email. A couple of us needed to work o e day and were unable. Also at the advice of another guest we took a Roku stick but couldn’t use it due to the Wi-Fi signal being too weak. We played a lot of card games (though they have plenty we took our own). Also put together a couple puzzles they supplied. Went to Boone a couple times, grandfather mountain, blowing rock, Lincoln falls, and Tweetsie Christmas: all of which weee easy sei Ed and the kids (big & little) loved!
If you’re bringing animals (we did not) consider this …One of the neighbors, I believe the red house across the street, has 1 or 2 little hippy dogs that keep getting in the road and crossing over to the yard and doing their business! One of the kids actually stepped in it at one point! I did complain to the property manager about this but I’m not what or if they did anything or if they even can. Though NC does have a leash law.
I also let them know about the wifi. They said they’d send someone out that night but no one ever came.
All in all we had a great time and it’s a very nice property in a great and beautiful location. I’m would not go back with that many people as it was a little crowded. And the pull-outs are extremely uncomfortable. But if you have 8 or less people and don’t need Wi-Fi …I’d say go for it. Totally worth it!
Also we had a couple deer in the back yard one morning! …until The yippie dog barked them away 🙄
