Beautiful and cozy cabin with spectacular views

Beautiful mountain cabin with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. The cabin is well-equipped with everything you need including kitchen utensils, fire-pit and spa. Cleanliness of the cabin was superb, and everything was taken care of for the arrival (towels, starter-kit for a weekend, bedding etc.). We can highly recommend a stay in this cabin and we would love to come back.

Tranquility

As four busy professionals, we rented this home for a peaceful holiday weekend and it sure delivered! The home was impeccably clean and cared for, the views were stunning, and we had no problem getting to the home in the Jeep we rented. We will definitely be back!

Spectacular Home and Views

What an incredibly beautiful home settled on the side of the mountain with indescribable views! This home is worth the haul up the mountain. The privacy, views, and special touches from the property owners (cut your own wild flowers while you stay) make this home an ideal destination! Five stars all around!

Great Views

The views are amazing! We really enjoyed having a fire every night. The house was very clean. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped! The house is very comfortable and nicely decorated! I would definitely recommend four-wheel-drive to get to the house! Overall it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it!

Great location and house

We booked this house for thanksgiving weekend and so glad we did. They have a fully stocked kitchen, coffe makers. Two refrigerators and four beds. The place was exceptionally clean and well maintained. We didn’t have any issues with hot water. Wi-Fi was reliable. Breathtaking view all around The drive up to the property was steep and agree with AWD/4WD vehicle.

Absolutely loved this property

We were looking for a property away from busy touristy towns where we could relax and enjoy time together as a family the day after Christmas. This property was everything we anticipated. It was only myself, husband and 2 girls (12 and 8). The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. It had absolutely everything we could need. The master bedroom and an extra room were on the first floor attached by the laundry and master bath. There were plenty of books, a desk and a nice recliner in the spare room for relaxing. Up a spiral staircase was a large room with windows that could open to the dining area (my girls loved this), a full bed and a twin size bed. There was a living area with a large card table, TV and Xbox on the upper floor. Across the hall was an open office that overlooked the master bedroom. It had a futon and extra linen. It was obviously not very private for the master but definitely an extra sleeping option if needed. In the basement was a full kitchen, large bathroom and bedroom with a ping pong table, TV, and keyboard piano. It had separate entry from the main house if needed and would be awesome for multi-generational visitors. The outdoor area had a great hot tub, solo stove, plenty of firewood, seating and the best view. The drive up to the home is a little nerve racking at first, but once we did it once or twice it was fine. We drive an AWD SUV and had no problems with getting there. We did not have a problem with water at all, we washed dishes, used the dishwasher and washed clothes with 4 people showering daily. One thing to note is the home is at least 30 min from the nearest store. It was a good drive to Lake Lure and Asheville. We didn’t mind that at all and knew this when we booked. We didn’t need anything from the rental agency, but they were very helpful and checked in with us several times prior to our stay and made sure we were prepared for our visit. We loved everything about the home and would definitely return if we were ever back in the area.

Beautiful house missing basic amenities and not a lot of help

This house is beautiful, clean, well appointed with large bedrooms and a sparkling kitchen. Amazing vistas, gorgeous landscaping, an inviting fire pit and trails: it's exactly what you're hoping for on a mountain getaway. Would have easily given it 5 stars, except.... After 36 hours the house ran out of water - nothing from the taps. We are not excessive or wasteful. This is a structural flaw. The real issue though was the lack of support from the rental agency: 1. When we called to tell them about the water, the first reaction was a host of excuses: we brought too many guests, they warned us in advance, we didn't understand the reality of mountain living, it was a new property for them. On the "warning": 48 hours before we arrived I called them to ask about a crib. During that chat they airily remarked that the guest maximum was 8, we had 9 and we might have an issue with HOT water. There was no warning about losing water entirely. Also, 4 of our 9 guests were under age 7 and they showered together - it's silly to claim one extra 6 year old caused this. 2. Then, they told us we had to move. They made an attempt to find another house and told us to call other rental agencies ourselves, and mentioned that the Days Inn (?!) might have space. They didn't seem to get that we didn't WANT to move and wanted to work with them on a solution - we suggested they cover the cost of a hotel room we could visit to shower and they said no. We unilaterally decided to tough it out and spent ~$120 on water jugs, paper plates, napkins, and plastic cutlery. After a day the water slowly began to replenish and we severely restricted use for the remainder of our stay. We still had a great time by making light of the situation and not caring about getting a bit grimy. We didn't hear a peep from them after that. No check ins and certainly no courtesy water drop-off. They did refund us for 3 nights of our stay. Is this a fantastic property? Yes. Does it have a major flaw? Yes, but either it'll be fixed or you can come prepared (hello, dry shampoo and wet wipes!) In our minds the choice for any renter is whether you are OK figuring out what to do if something else goes wrong - the rental agency missed an opportunity to provide good customer service to a reasonable group of folks trying to make the best of a challenging but by no means impossible situation.

Stunning Views

This is a beautiful and comfortable home with magnificent views. The driveway approching the home is somewhat difficult to maneuver during daylight hours; it is dangerous at night.

Mountain get away

Beautiful house and property. Location a bit tricky, but the views we're just amazing. The hot tub was out of commission but I enjoyed the soaking tub. The falls at the bottom of the hill are really pretty.

Beautiful home - hard to get to

This is an absolutely amazing home on a beautiful property with gorgeous views! It has a ton of character and is kept in pristine condition. Our stay would have been absolutely perfect and we would have loved to come back but for one thing ... the driveway. The home is somewhat difficult to find and up a very steep road. The road itself is paved, but the driveway leading to the home itself is not - and it is long and very steep. We rented an all wheel drive vehicle as instructed. My husband has a lot of experience navigating treacherous conditions including snow and ice in AWD vehicles and we still struggled. It took us 3 times to make it up the hill on our first arrival. He then practiced getting up and down because we needed to go into town. Still got stuck but was ultimately able to do it. When we returned after our trip to town however it took us about 8 tries and 30 min to get up the driveway! It was quite scary, and we almost had to park the car at the bottom and walk up. We did contact Greybeard prior to that 3rd trip up and down, and they were responsive and gracious, even offering to move us to a different cabin. We declined preferring not to move, but in retrospect might have been better off saying yes. I hope they might decide to pave the driveway as we would love to return! But the issues getting there were significant enough that it would deter us from renting it again as long as the driveway remains unpaved! That driveway is truly an adventure! The home itself is perfect if you can get there!

Beautiful mountain escape

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The house was beautiful, had everything we needed. The view was spectacular! We enjoyed the fire pit as well as the hot tub that provided great views of the mountains. The drive up the mountain to get to the house was a bit scary the first time as you are not sure if you are on the right path. It’s a one lane gravel road so highly recommend 4WD. Once you reach the top / house it is worth it!!
