10 Bedrooms for extended family
Everyone agreed that having us all together in a big house made our gathering much more enjoyable, as opposed to being in 8 to 10 different hotel rooms. When we amortized the cost, it was decidedly less expensive than renting multiple hotel rooms. With two kitchens, including two refrigerators and plenty of kitchen, equipment, utensils, pots and pans, coffee mugs, etc. we were able to feed the crowd successfully many times. We were able to make the drip coffee maker work, but it took some engineering because it was not right.
We were pleased with the adequate bedding, towels, toilet paper, and soap. We had a big crowd and did not run out of any of those essentials. The four bathrooms were an adequate number for us, since each one had an associated shower or tub. The sink areas were small but adequate. It should be noted that some of the bedroom areas did not close up very well for privacy.
The living room and porch area was fantastic for our crowd. It gave the kids room to run and the adults space to socialize. It provided plenty of eating space. Everyone could have a seat at a table.
Parking was never a problem. The view out to the smoky mountains was awesome.
The location was wonderful. We walked from the house into the Smoky Mountains National Park along Deep Creek. The Ingles grocery store was less than 10 minutes away, and the microbreweries were easily accessible within 10 minutes.
Overall, we had a wonderful extended family event.
