The view was stunning and the location was great. As other people have mentioned, you are somewhat secluded in the mountains but it is an easy drive to both Blowing Rock and Boone. I was, however, disappointed in the cleanliness of the house.
- both trash cans were full in the kitchen when we arrived
- sheets in the upstairs guest room had crunchy debris between them (made me wonder if they were changed since last use)
- there were crumbs and dirt under the kitchen cabinets. I was able to locate the vacuum and clean with the hose attachment
- the dining table was sticky, which was partly the finish (which is fine), but when I wiped it down the cloth was visibly dirty
- this is not necessarily attributed to cleanliness, but just mountain living.. do not leave food or dirty dishes on the counter to the right of the sink, ants will come marching in.
We had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the area, it was just unfortunate that the space was not fully cleaned before our arrival.
