My husband and I brought our 3 older kids and each of them brought a friend ... plus our 2 dogs. The location was perfect, as it was close to town and activities (we went skiing in Maggie Valley). Although there were other houses relatively close, this one was tucked down on the side of the mountain with a gorgeous view. I actually preferred the night view with all of the lights against the horizon. The house had everything we needed, from firewood to plenty of cozy blankets. The kitchen was very well-stocked, also, including waffle mix and a waffle iron (that we didn't actually use but I was impressed that it was available). The house is somewhat small, but the main living area is spacious and open. It's also decorated with a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. The plants were a welcoming touch! The outside space is nice, too, with a firepit and room for our pups to run off a little energy. There's more I could write, but who really wants to read all of this. :) We would definitely recommend it to others and will possibly stay here again!
