Nice property. Great mountain views. Very spacious. Too many bugs around especially in the basement. Recycle left from previous visitors, plus garbage on the front porch.The front door couldn't be locked from the outside. That door was unlocked when we got to the property. The beds in the basement are very uncomfortable and should be updated. Would be nice to have blinds on the windows in the area across from the bedrooms. Didn't really like the barn doors. The doors didnt seem to close properly. I don't believe they were private enough. I thought the house was closer to WCU than it actually was. About 30 minutes away. We were there for graduation.
