My 3 kids (14, 14, 11) and I loved this rental! We were all working/schooling remotely, and this was the perfect change of scenery for a Sunday-Friday stay!! It was just the 4 of us, but the house could fit 6, maybe 8, comfortably. It was the perfect location for work and school during the day and skiing at App Ski Mountain at night. Only about 10 mins to the ski lodge, only 15 to Blowing Rock and the nearest grocery store. I loved that the roads around the house were not too hilly, and I was able to get in several good walks/runs during the week. It snowed several inches while we were there, but the roads were plowed in a timely manner so I felt comfortable getting down the mountain the next day. Only constructive feedback is that there is no TV on the main level of the house - in fairness, that was shown in the pictures, but still would have been nice to watch a movie on the main level (where all the togetherness happens) with the fireplace. Also, maybe I didn't look hard enough, but couldn't find any scissors. Would definitely rent again!
