Perfect Christmas Retreat

The property was perfect for our Christmas vacation. Vincent is a great host and he obviously cares about the satisfaction of his guests. We came in with our luggage and groceries and had all we needed for a great trip to the area.

Mountain Paradise

Amazing long weekend in Murphy NC. The owner Vincent was extremely responsive and helpful from the booking through checkout. Called us after we made reservations to give us all the information about directions and the house in general. When, we arrived the cleaning person had left a note on the front door explaining the detail which she took in getting the house cleaned and safe for our visit. Very thankful given the current climate. The house is extremely comfortable and relaxing. Large deck with a grill, but most important, amazing Mountain views. Updated kitchen and great living area as well as nice bedrooms. Particularly the master with the 65 inch tv. Thank you again Vincent For your amazing hospitality. Great visit. The trip brought some needed tranquility to me and my wife. Highly recommended. Hope to make it back for the fall!

Beautiful views

The cabin was in an amazing location. It was very pretty. They are remodeling making things a little dangerous, particularly if you have kids or pets. Lots on nails and construction material about. The AC didn’t work but it was nice at night so we survived. The internet doesn’t work well and it was hard to get anything on the tv, but that really only bothered our teenager. The owners were very communicative and the property will really be amazing when all the work is done. We loved listening to the waterfall when we ate dinner!

Great house in the mountains

We rented this house for a short little trip away. It snowed on the weekend, so that was even better. The layout of the house was perfect for us and our two dachshunds. The area was so quiet and we even saw deer close by in the woods each day. We had a few questions for the owner, but he was very quick to respond and that was very appreciated!

Cozy cabin

Honestly this was the best part of our trip. We made a fire every night. Watched holiday movies, did puzzles. Really great family bonding time. The kitchen is well stocked, the showers don't run out of hot water. Highly recommend.

Trip to Murphy NC

We had a great visit but the weather did not agree. We made the best of our time, had firewood furnished so we enjoyed two evenings with fires in the fireplace. All in all had a good time.

Beautiful view!

This home is perfect if you're looking for a relaxing getaway and magnificent scenery. Vincent was easy to communicate with and provided everything necessary for a great stay. There are large TVs in every room, overhead fans, wifi, etc. and a fully stocked kitchen. All was as described but be prepared for a very steep drive up to the house.

Who needs a tv when you have that view?

We had an amazing stay at Monti Alto Chalet. Vince was so helpful - from walking us through using VRBO (first time!) to checking in to see if we wanted restaurant recommendations - he was a perfect host. The landscaping and property is beautiful, and we enjoyed our time on the deck with the hummingbirds, squirrels, and the deer down the hill. We could not have asked for a better getaway.

Want to go back!!!

This cabin home is complete perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day and didn't want to leave. The view from the porch is incredible. Mountains in the distance that were beautiful to view during morning coffee or evening cocktails. The home has everything you need and Vince is great to work with. The community is lovely and serene. Drive up to the cabin is steep and one lane, scary the first few times but you get used to it. Rarely is another car coming the other way. All around EXCELLENT stay.

Miss it already! Great communication with owner, easy check-in/check-out, beautiful & well kept property, great location to launch your adventures or just sit on the deck & enjoy nature. Watching the sunrise from the master bedroom is a treat in itself. Hope to be back soon! 👍

Relaxing cabin and a fantastic view

We stayed for 5 days and had a wonderful time. Vince was a great host and gave some great recommendations for dinner. The place was perfect. Our dog loved the deck which had a gate so we didn’t have to worry about her getting loose. We had dinner outside a few times and enjoyed the view of the mountain across the way. Vince has the best view of all the other houses on his mountain top. WiFi worked great as one of us had to work for 2 days. The pond and paths on the property are a great touch. The house was clean and well stocked. I think we got lost twice on our way back to the cabin during the five days we were there. The road is narrow at times but we only ran into another car about 3 times during our time there and it was easy to pull into a driveway or hug the side of the road to get out of the way. Highly recommend and would definitely return again!!!

Outstanding views

We loved the views from the deck and the owner was very attentive to anything we asked for and even things we didn’t ask for. The morning coffee was outstanding watching the beautiful sunrises that happened while we were there. It is convenient to just about everything les than an hour’s drive to most attractions and mountain shops and casinos if you like that. Short drive into Murphy for food. I highly recommend this property for a weekend getaway or for a family vacation. Our kids loved tubing in Bryson City, NC about an hour’s drive. Vince was a great host. Enjoy your stay we did
