Short stay for a wedding

We attended a mid-week wedding nearby so our stay was short. We definitely wished we had stayed a day or two longer to explore the area or just sit on the gorgeous deck and savor the scenery.This home is elegantly simple, all details are thought about and taken care of. The decor has so many stories, the art work, the books, the birds- just a tranquil oasis.The only part we were not prepared for was just how steep the roads were leading up to the house- definitely best to arrive in the daytime. Once we went up and down, we were fine! The owner definitely said the roads were steep but we were still surprised. Highly Recommend!

Treehouse with hot running water!

We were elated with the mountain and forest views. Enjoyed watching the continually changing clouds and the variety of birds. We told friends it was like living in a treehouse with hot running water! The decor is tasteful, the kitchen fully equipped, the beds comfortable, and the library very rewarding. We enjoyed the fireplace on chilly mornings and the deck on warm afternoons. Mountain View House is a lovely, quiet haven.

Amazing!!

We had such a great time at Pam's house! It was an amazing property with the most beautiful mountain views, fully equipped kitchen and everything we needed was there. The drive got a bit confusing and nerve racking at some point, but if you follow Pam's directions exactly and drive cautiously, there should be no problems. Pam herself was an incredible host, always kept in touch, responded quickly, helped us with any issues we had and was so sweet! We really loved our short stay at this place, and would absolutely come back soon!

Perfect Mountain Retreat

My husband and I’s experience with the booking, payment, communication with owner, scheduling, etc could not have been better for this property. Can not say enough wonderful things about the owner, Pam, truly! We had a death in the family and services occurred during our scheduled trip at the house. Pam was more than generous in working with us to move dates around so that we could do both. The home is a mountain retreat. The pictures do not do it justice! Views of the ridge and lake all along the back side of the home are gorgeous. The home itself is beautiful with it slate fireplace and thoughtfully decorated interior. The outside of the home is modern but natural looking. Pam keeps the house very well stocked. Towels, toiletries, kitchen tools, cookware, a large grill, wood for the fireplace, even birdseed for the bird feeders hanging from the exterior edges of the home are filled to the top, just bring your own personal necessities and groceries. The home is exceptionally clean, which my husband and I breathed a sigh of relief over during these times. There is also a binder provided by Pam of all the trails and other activities to do in the area. We hiked 3 of the trails she suggested in the binder. Wonderful experience that we will definitely repeat. Book this property and you will not regret it.

Wonderful Place

The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with gear - we were able to make Thanksgiving dinner without difficulty. Communication with the host was excellent - very proactive and responsive. The only downside is that the last mile to the house is a steep gravel road with hairpin turns. It is fine once you get used to it but can be a bit nerve-wracking the first time.

Mountain veiw cabin

If it is a view with privacy you want this cabin is spectacular! The view of the mountains is incredible. Large deck for your morning coffee or evening dinner. When you walk in the cabin it's like you are entering someone's personal home, not a rental. Everything you could possibly need is there. Pam was great communicating with and the check in was a breeze. Here's a few pointers before going. Shop before you go. Make sure you have gas in your vehicle. The road going up and down the mountain is tricky as well as the signage. The cabin is at the top of the mountain so the drive is roughly a mile up and down. Ask questions! This cabin is 4600 ft. up. Check in in the daylight. Driving the road at night could be a problem if your not familiar with the area. Over all, beautiful home, beautiful view! Great host!

Perfect mountain getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at Pam's place. The house is on top of a mountain with an amazing view. It's bright, spacious, airy and super clean. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Really loved seeing all the different types of birds that would come visit the feeders. We went on a 12-mile hike and didn't even have to get in our car to get to the trail, you could connect to the Appalachian Trail from her house. This is a perfect base for nature lovers who also likes the comfort and luxury of a clean, relaxing, modern house. Pam was an excellent host, great communication and put a lot of thoughtful touches in the house for her guests including a huge guidebook to help you get to know the area. She spent considerable time cleaning the place before we got there, which we greatly appreciated. All the positive reviews are right, this is the kind of place where you'll wish you'd stayed longer. We were there for 4 nights and wishing we could come back and stay even longer.

What a wonderful location and property! We (3 adults) had an awesome stay at Pam's beautiful home and would have gladly stayed for a few more days if it had worked out. It is definitely a great place for 'getting away from it all' and de-stressing. We had a fun time hiking various trails, but enjoyed some downtime afterwards. Pam was very responsive to any questions from us and we highly recommend her property to anyone who wants a beautiful mountain getaway.

Hard to get to but worth it

If you want to feel isolated/have privacy, this is for you! The trip up the mountain off the paved road is best suited to an SUV but my Lexus sport sedan (low road clearance) made it with a couple of anxious moments. Once there, it's worth it. Beautiful view of the mountains off a private balcony with all the conveniences of home and a great CD library. Unlimited hiking trails, many with stunning vistas. Stock up before you get there and don't plan on eating out every night as there is one restaurant within less than 30+ minutes and the nearest grocery store is @ 30 minutes away. But you dont rent a mountain top house in rural NC for the restaurants, right?

Amazing mountain retreat!

Great place to get away from it all, in a modern house on the mountain! The view of the mountains is amazing. Nantahala Lake is at the bottom of the mountain. We saw a number of beautiful birds on the porch. If you’re lucky late at night you can see flying squirrels on the porch. There is a marina close by called Lake’s End Marina where we rented a boat. We went river rafting one afternoon with Carolina Outfitters and it was just a 30 minute drive away. The Wifi was slow but that could be on account of a storm while we were there. On the whole it’s a wonderful property and we would love to return.
