You can't get any more mountain top than this house. The view was impressive. The house was clean, the beds and living room furniture were compfortable. The pictures are accurate to the listing. The first half of the drive up the mountain was pretty easy, but the second half is pretty narrow and steep. It would be pretty tight if you encountered a vehicle coming the opposite direction. Luckily, by the time you get to where the road narrows, there is only one or two other houses.The host was very responsive to questions. We would stay herer again.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING about this home was beyond awesome! The hosts have done a wonderful job of making this a place where guests are comfortable and not lacking for anything. The views --- OMG stunning. Once you master the drive up the mountain, it becomes a fun adventure. If you haven't been, and are checking out the reviews - this is another one to add to the YES, BOOK IT!

Beautiful setting atop a mountain not far from downtown Brevard. Interior and exterior of the house was well maintained. House had all of the amenities to make for a restful week vacation. The wrap around deck offered a breath-taking view of the mountains in the surrounding area. The host was quick to respond during booking period and to answer a question we had while there.All directions were clear and thorough.

We had a great time. The driveway in the fog is very exciting to navigate in a large truck. :)

Holiday getaway in the Clouds

Clean and fairly well stocked. The cookware was only fair. Approach road is difficult to navigate in pea soup fog (which is what we had for the first two nights). House was very spacious and was furnished nicely. It would have been better if the steps into the house had been blown off. They were completely covered in leaves, which were wet and slippery. Overall, we had a wonderful and very restful stay and we loved the gas logs. View is execellent, once the clouds lifted on Wednesday afternoon. We will definitely come back. Hopefully the coffemaker will be replaced by then. It was pretty grody looking.

Remote setting / slightly dated / great view

We arrived late at night and the property felt like you were quite remote -- which can be good or bad. Apple maps took us right there. The check in instructions were good but lacked some information inside the unit. Some of the sheets were not clean and there was no ice in the fridge. One of the fuses had tripped and the panel was not accessible. The AC was struggling to keep up with the summer heat. Lack of cleanliness of bed linens put things on the wrong footing but property has great potential.

Mountain retreat

We enjoyed our time in the area, which offers great hiking and waterfall experiences. Town was cute and had some good restaurants. The property listing grossly underestimates the time it takes to get into town. We found it took almost 10 minutes to get down the steep drive to the main road, and another 10 or so to get in to Brevard. This was a drawback for us. Icemaker mentioned in listing was not working. Pick up a bag of ice in town before you go up the mountain. Showerheads in both bathrooms were very low output; you had to really work to get wet and then to rinse off. The wonderful view from the porch was partially blocked by an overgrown tree smack in the middle of the vista; trimming it would greatly improve things. Kitchen is reasonably well outfitted for cooking, and the gas grill is a nice touch. If we return to the area, we will look for something a bit closer in.
