My 16 year old niece penned a nice note before leaving, so maybe she says it best:
"Wow is all our family has to say about this place. It truly is magical!
The best memories that will be engraved in our minds forever, will be the sunrises on the top deck. It's hard to explain why, but to be able to sit and stare at the landscape in front of you is amazing, and to see and hear the birds chirping and flying by is a testament to life here in the mountains.
Everything about the house was absolutely perfect and supreme, the only issue is that we had to leave.
It was a perfect get away for family, and I wish we could have stayed longer. This place truly is a treasure."
From an adult perspective I'd agree completely. Great location, maybe 20 min to downtown Blowing Rock and 20 min to Grandfather Mountain. The views are spectacular from sunrise and beyond sunset, with lots of space on either deck to take it all in. The neighborhood is peaceful, the setting relaxing. The house itself is clean, comfortable and spacious, and perfectly laid out. i.e. plenty of space for adults and plenty of space for kids, but plenty of space for all of us to be together as well! I couldn't have asked for a better set up in any way. We look forward to returning one day soon for a longer visit!
