The views are wonderful! However, the property seems to be neglected. Multiple issues with electrical sockets and lamps not working. Heating was a problem, we kept thermostat set at 68 and it would get to 50 degrees on the main floor. No extra blankets were available. Communication through messaging was not timely at all on the rental companyâs side. The windows in the crows nest had ice on the inside.Every mattress in the home needs replaced. I love the retro vibe but many things need to be replaced. Lighting on the main floor is an issue. I love the gas burning fireplace and the openness of the main floor. Itâs a shame that home the size of this one and the awesome views is being so badly neglected. Also the seating area in main floor needs to be opened up around the tv- perhaps put the tv over the fireplace so you can enjoy the fire place while watching tv.There was no trash can on the property to put bagged trash. Also, it was not convenient to have no access out of side door by garage opening. It was locked and no key available.The float in 1/2 bath toilet is messed up. Shower heads leak.The lamp on table by sofa on main floor has some chew marks and didnât seem safe to use.
Blue ridge mtn rentals is of the better rental agencies weâve used. They were very good about communication and ensuring that we were able to check in, and the door was coded correctly when we got there. Iâm still not convinced itâs on a well. If it truly is, itâs the best well water ive ever used. The towels and linens were very clean and plentiful. Our 3yr old was very careful on the stairs and bannister and had no issueâŠ
Endless vistas is worth a stay even though it really needs a renovation. It was 80 degrees at 10pm in the master, only one of the windows had a screen and also opened. No central ac, no spot cooler, nor a window unit. It also does not have an attic fan or any means of moving air throughout. Iâm sure it is unique to my personal misfortune, but the wind didnât blow more than 5mph for Labor Day weekend 3 nights. The main level had one window with a screen that opened. The upstairs had one in the master, two in the full/queen bedroom (new windows) and there are two doors that open on that level with screen doors. The crows nest has two casement windows with screens and they operate well.
In the basement the windowsill in the billiard room was covered in dead houseflies, and we didnât spend any time down there because without the heat on it was pretty humid. More houseflies in the crows nest. Positive note, we didnât see any flying around or any other bugs at all. The carpet in the living room turned our socks black and was a bit sticky⊠great view though!
I was very disappointed in our experience. This was a trip for my birthday, and the stay at this home really dampened the entire weekend.
The house was hot when we arrived. We had to sleep with the windows open WITHOUT screens on them. We had to lower the blinds and hope that bugs did not enter. We did find moths on the floor in the living room so I had to wonder if others had done the same.
The narrow, winding stairs to the upper floor was the only way to reach the bedrooms. Im just glad that I am still moblie enough to walk that!
The view from the balcony was beautiful. Unfortunately, that is the only positive comment that I can make. I dont usually leave negative reviews, but I felt like the description of the home was misleading compared to what we found on arrival.
I would not stay here again.
We stayed for 8 nights and we loved it. The views were stunning and the listing was very accurate. The only one suggestion we would make is the king size mattress needs to be replaced since it was indented on both sides. Other than that we loved the house and you can't beat the views. We got to see our first bear sightings in the driveway. Can't wait to stay here again!!
We enjoyed a family Thanksgiving together at this home, which is centrally located for our East coast diverse family. It is a beautifully sited property. It served our needs. With some repairs and upgrades, this could be an amazing home. We would not choose it again because it needs some TLC but it has great bones.
As described by the property name, no better title for a simple review. The view is just amazing from enjoying a morning coffe in front of the living room, to finishing with a bbq by the main balcony. Best view ever
The property was very impressive. The views were the main draw to our stay here and they delivered as advertised. With that, comes some challenges in accessing the house via winding roads and switchbacks, but we were warned of that on the listing. Plenty of beds and bedrooms and congregating spaces. Close proximity to Sugar Mountain and Boone.
Cabin is as advertised. Great views all around. Very comfortable and clean. Gas fireplace was very nice. Spiral staircase is a little challenging if you have physical problems. Would definitely recommend
The house was so amazing⊠full of character. The views were incredible! My kids had so much fun playing pool and going up and down the spiral staircase. Will definitely stay here again! Thank you!
The views are totally worth the stay. Why go to a hotel with a view of a parking lot, when you can have views of the blue ridge mountains from a mountain top home? I would definitely stay here again.
The house has a birdâs eye view of glorious vistas, mountains from multiple balconies
and decks. We spent many peaceful sunsets on the main deck , though the deck furniture was uncomfortable metal chairs and no table. The house itself has certainly seen better days with outdated and damaged chairs/furniture. That said, there are lots of different areas to relax so even with a large group, there are game tables, pool table , sitting areas and tvâs to spread out. The bathrooms are woefully outdated and bedrooms with twin beds have really ancient , uncomfortable mattresses but kids probably wouldnât notice.. Nice size master and bath but other 3 bedrooms tiny and basic. Amenities lacked as well, with one set of thin towels, minimal cooking utensils and pots. Overall for the price and view , this house provides a nice landing spot for a low key gathering.
