The front door opens to a large living room featuring plush furnishings, eclectic decor, a bar perfect for entertaining, a gas fireplace to cozy up beside, and access to the patio which looks out to breathtaking mountain views. There will be no need to fret about mealtimes, as two kitchens and dining tables await to make preparing and enjoying meals together a breeze. The main kitchen on the upper level boasts a large pantry, double ovens, two dishwashers, and a gas cooktop. This level also features two bedrooms including the first primary suite with a gas fireplace, a flatscreen TV, a luxurious jacuzzi tub, and a covered veranda with mountain views!

Awesome Outdoor Spaces
This beautiful, uniquely decorated place provided our family a great place to stay and enjoy time together. We spent countless hours in the outside spaces. For us, the couch and 4 chair set up around the gas fire pit, overlooking the mountains was was the biggest highlight of the house. Also, we were left plenty of propane so that was a plus. We also enjoyed the tennis courts and hot tub. Upon arrival, we encountered one bedroom not being usable due to a recent water damage, but a refund was issued to rectify the situation. So, I appreciated the customer service on that.

So close
The place is so close to being awesome but the lack of maintenance really shows! 1) We were given a gate code, the gate was not closed when we arrived nor did it ever close we fretted it might close on us at anytime. 2) the koi pond constantly leaks over the entrance way. 3) way too many light switches that seem to do nothing, labels are easy 4) guidance on the house surround system would be nice, never could figure out the downstairs and it was the third day before finding the controls for upstairs. Also would be helpful to dispose of all the old remotes and components. It is just confusing.5) were never able to get the TVs to work in any of the downstairs bedrooms the garage loft bedroom and the master bedroom. 6). The sliding glass doors and decks that were off limits were very inconvenient 7). The basement bedroom with twin beds had a blind in such a tangle it could not be lowered. 8) The dishwasher near the sink has a broken mechanism on the soap/pod dispenser. 9) the master bedroom was horrible! TV did not work, lights and heater in the commode room would not turn on, we used a flashlight. No power in the outlets. The GFI plug was tripped but would not reset. No lights in the closet either. Mold in multiple places in the shower. And the mattress was so broken down and hollow in the middle that we would roll into it and could not move away from each other. Finally the antiquated toilet had to hold handle for 10 seconds. There is more but your field limits length

Awesome staff trip
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here! We had 7 people in our group and we had so much fun hanging out together. Each person had their own bed and just a few had to share a bathroom. We learned that the thermostat for the two bedrooms on the main level is in the living room. There was no hot water in the kitchen, the baseball room downstairs or in the apartment above the garage. The shower drain was super slow in the bedroom main level on the left. We have notified management of all of these things. Just wanted to let you know in case they are not fixed before you come. None of these things damped and our time together. We thoroughly enjoyed the downstairs area where we were able to hang out, play pool, darts and have drinks together. We enjoyed the kitchen table where we played games and had lots and lots of laughs. We enjoy the spaciousness of the house and how everyone had their own place to go when it was time to go to bed. Awesome place to stay!!

Wonderful View and Huge House
The house and grounds were beautiful. Although it had a wonderful view of the mountains it was still not too far from a grocery store, the dump and restaurants. There were wonderful adventures within 45 minutes drive. Unfortunately there were not enough towels, toilet paper and one bed was unmade. And there was no laundry detergent. There were minor issues in the house that need repair. But we enjoyed our stay.

Great stay in a gorgeous property!
We loved our week in Waynesville staying at this fantastic property! The layout of the house is perfect for bigger families. A huge plus is that there are 2 bedrooms with private baths on the entry level so my 85 year old parents never had to use stairs! The view from the back deck is breathtaking and the sunsets amazing. Probably the cleanest house we’ve ever rented. Close to Asheville, tubing in Canton, and the waterfall trail. Perfect week!

Wonderful Family Time!!
This home is beautiful and unique! We all "claimed" our own bedroom. We had plenty of lounging/play spaces. We spent beautiful sunrises and sunsets overlooking the wonderful mountains. Had relaxing moments in the hot tub. This home is laidout very well for our family. The home is full of unique, unusual, beautiful artwork and sculptures, we kept seeing new things as the week went by. The grounds around this home were just wonderful to explore with our grandson. The whole family wanted to purchase this home!! But Please update the bed sizes in the home and we could not find additional blankets that were needed in a couple of the bedrooms towards the end of our trip when it got cooler at night. Otherwise, we loved the house and our time there creating wonderful memories. Thank you!!

Very Spacious
Gorgeous views. It snowed lightly the first night and that made it all even more immaculate. Extremely spacious, we all felt at home and accommodated for our large 12 member family. We really appreciated that they allowed us to bring our pet along for our weekend gateway. Private rooms were very comfortable and the common areas easily facilitated our large family bonding. We enjoyed our stay and are already planning our next visit.

Great cabin in a great location
Great house, we really enjoyed our visit. I would however recommend more hand towels in the kitchen, towels, hot tub towels, and updated/ larger pots and pan options. We had a large group and had a hard time cooking with the small pans. We also felt more instructions should have been given. We didn't know where to take the trash, the alarm beeped all night, we were unsure of what needed to be done before departing, etc. I think a list would have helped. Other than these few things we had a great time!

The grounds are stunning and the home is stately. Amazing artwork inside and out - a feast for the senses. Every possible amenity is available upstairs and down. The apartment above the garage is a hidden gem. The digital systems (WiFi, satellite TV, whole-house audio, and security system) throughout the estate are surpurb. Hard to choose whether to spend time outside on the amazing vaulted porch around the cozy fire pit overlooking the entire valley, OR to take advantage of one of several gathering areas indoors by the fireplace, TV, bar, or game room. Why choose? We loved it all!

Beautiful House with Great View
This house was perfect for our family. It’s very spacious and private with beautiful views. The kitchen is large and well stocked and we loved sitting out on the deck with the fire pit on enjoying the mountain view. If visiting in winter months, make sure your vehicle can go up the icy mountain roads. The road needed to be salted. Great house for a large family. We loved staying here and would definitely rent this house again.

Over Priced and a bit misleading, but beautiful aspects of the property and house
First, my family rented this property for New Years week, with my two children (9 & 2), the grandparents, greataunt & greatuncle, a cousin and her son. We enjoyed the trip; however, I would not rent the home again and became frustrated at the issues we dealt with and in overall quality of the home. First this is NOT a six bedroom home, which posed a big issue for my family for a couple reasons, we needed 6 bedrooms due to the number of people and with half of the guests being elderly - stairs were an issue. The 6th bedroom is actually an office at the front of the house with an attached bathroom. The sofa pulls out to a very low quality pullout bed. To even pull out the bed you have to move a VERY heavy desk and table out of the way, which given the size of the room, you can barely get around the bed to the bathroom once it is pulled out - I was told it would pull out without moving anything. The mattress was no more than 5 inches thick and there was not adequate bedding available and with the bed only 18 inches off the floor, it made for a very tough time for an older couple to sleep. This should NOT be being advertised as a 6 bedroom home and disclosure should be made regarding that rooms issues. This is home is being marketed and charged as a premium property, and while aspects of the home & property are premium, there are a lot of issues that take away from the home and a future renter should be aware. The main kitchen (upstairs) is very small and the configuration is not conducive to any serious cooking. For instance the stove, which is gas (good) is hindered in its use by a microwave installed directly over the stove at such a low hieght that you cannot use the back burners with any decent size pot (4 qt or bigger no way..) because you cannot stir anything - cooking new years day meal was very difficult even with 2 stoves (downstairs has same issue). There were several general maintenance issues I found througout the house, doors that the knobs would not open, even resulting in locking my child in the master bedroom. Other areas needing painting, repaired, etc... that took away from a "LUXURIOUS" feel as marketed. the home needs some TLC and a bit of attention to detail in order to warrant the rates being charged. I took pictures and documented many of the items that should be addressed if the owner would be interested.
