Home is close enough to downtown but just far enough to be away from it and peaceful at night. Home is as described. Had 1 question/issue while we were visiting but response was excellent.

Great View

This was our second stay at the Potato House. The location and view is great. The house was very clean. The landscaping needs to be cleaned up, everything is overgrown. The deck was lovely to sit out on any time of the day.

Good value rental

For the cost of what we paid for the rental, it was fantastic. It has 2 great outdoor spaces, with a top and lower deck. It is small, but enough space for what we needed. It needs a few simple things, that I noticed others mention, like more towels. We are 60 guest and had to maneuver to get up the outdoor steps and to get in to the high ledge bath tub/showers. We found the furniture and beds comfortable. The kitchen had just about anything you could use, but a big pot to boil spaghetti. We never figured out how to turn the TV's on in the bedrooms, but that could have just been us?!

Simple Mountain Getaway

What a lovely location! The Potato house is nestled on a hillside facing Seven Devils. Peaceful views of the ever changing mountain colors from a walkout balcony. The house is very simply equipped with the basics for a getaway. As previously stated, the hot tub is non operational and and outdoor fire pit is also not available for use. Otherwise you’ll find a clean propane grill on the deck and a gas cooktop and oven inside. Drip coffee maker available, but you’ll have to supply your own coffee and fresh water. WiFi worked well. Plenty of plates silverware and small plastic cups. Dishwasher small but functional. Stackable washer and dryer is available, bring your own detergent. Two king size beds were comfortable, but the linens are tired and could use some replacements. As mountain getaways go, this checks all the must have boxes. Very private, extremely quiet surroundings, and beautiful views. Only a few minutes to Banner Elk Winery and a few miles to downtown.

Accurately priced, but tired.

While we thought the home was accurately priced, the amenities were lacking. The Potato house is missing the creature comforts we book VRBO's over hotels for—no where to sit comfortably, everything is very dated and worn out from the pots/pans, to the outdoor chair pillows to the couches—it felt like being in a dorm, where just the basics were covered. The structure of the home is beautiful so it's a shame other elements of a comfortable rental were missed. Even the welcome book has outdated info and conflicting directions to local trails, etc. The one positive was that it was very clean. All of that said, we would not stay here again.

Awesome place

Only complaint was smelly pile of blankets in one of the bedroom, closets and old hairbrush behind one of the beds.

Great weekend get away

We had a great weekend vacation at the Potato house. It was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. The wifi was a little quirky but it did work. The heated bathroom floors was a nice feature, the ladies really loved that. All in all it was a quiet restful weekend and we enjoyed the stay there, would definitely stay at the Potato House again.
