Great stay

Great mid-week stay for my family. The space is small but it's all we needed. Check in and out was easy, there were plenty of towels, and amenities were great. The EV charger was really beneficial (it was a J1772 adapter).

Needs improvement but could be great

Pros- very responsive host! - great view of the mountains and slopes - relatively close to alot of stuff Cons- not clear at all how to get to the actual unit. They gave an address to a building on the opposite side of the property, there are 11 buildings so they need to be more clear on instructions on exactly what building to go to and what floor. -No pool/spa access- you have to scan a badge to get into the pool/hottub area and there was no access key left in the room, which the heated pool and hottub were the main reason I booked the place. While the hosts were quick to respond, they had no solution to the problem so this really needs to be addressed if you are like me and booked for the hottub. Very disappointed with this... - they need to be clear in the listing that the fireplace is not able to be used, they show pictures of it in the listing but don't mention that you can't use it. It's an electric fireplace so I don't know why we were told we can't use it but also a negative. If they fixed these issues it would be a pretty chill experience but based on my experience I would not book here again

Great place to stay! But lack of information.

This place was great! I booked it just to use their pool and hot tub. Called the host (Vrbo) to see if it was open, but they did what I did, they just looked up the website to see if it was open or not and told me "it says on their website that it's not open." Got there and spent many nights at the hot tub:) I understand they don't own the property, but still, they should have contacted the property manager to ask. Lack of communication with their own place they are using to rent for the public. Other than that, I had a great stay at the place with great views!

The view is astonishing, and a 12-minute drive of free entry to the grandfather mountain trail. The main gate to grandfather mountain took 15 to 20 minutes to drive. The room is small, but no issue for me, and we spend a few hours a day except for the toilet blocking.

Nice place

Enjoyed our stay. Everything was done online. Only issues we had was we never received a parking pass and info we received said one was needed. Spoke with someone and they said they would bring one but never did. Also checkout was confusing. It said to turn in key at the office. We went there at 9am but nobody was there so we left it in the lock box at the room. Other than that the property was great.

Disappointed.

Furniture legs were all loose, blinds and baseboards very dusty. Bed was not proper made. Trash bag very fragil. I clean houses for living and seeing this the rentals that I clean are clean like if the queen was coming to stay.

Great location but a few minor issues

First let me start w/ the positives: the location is great, the views are good from the balcony, the price (it was reduced when we rented) was excellent. That said, there were a number of little things that kept this from being a perfect stay. For starters, our parking pass wasn’t available until the day after we arrived & that was likely only because I had emailed the property management company with concern about our car being towed. Nobody replied to me to let me know what was going on, just suddenly after returning from a hike the following morning, the parking pass was stuck in the door to the condo. So it worked out fine in the end but communication on that should’ve been better in my opinion. Then there were a few other things: - the chairs w/ the dining table are wobbly & literally about to break. - the towel rack in the restroom isn’t properly secured to the wall & falls off every time you use it. - there is a hole in the screen for the door to the balcony which has been patched with a band-aid. - the mattress is noticeably sagging & not very comfortable. - the liner for the shower isn’t wide enough to keep water from spraying out. It is literally at least a foot & a half too narrow for the shower. - the kitchen sink faucet probably should be repaired or replaced as it will often keep running once it’s in position where it should be off. That may seem like a lot, but if those pretty minor things were dealt with this place would be really special.
