Excellent communication from the host that covered all of the relevant details and more. The home was cozy and comfortable. It was handy to have all the drawers and cabinets labeled making it easy to find things. Very nice central location to a variety of hiking destinations, which is what we were there for. We’d happily stay here again in the future.

“I had a wonderful stay! The home is beautifully decorated with so much charm and character. I especially loved the collection of old books—it gave the space a cozy, personal feel. It’s clear the place was thoughtfully set up with guests in mind. I didn’t want for anything during my stay—everything I could have needed was there. The hosts were also very attentive; when I reached out to ask for the entry code again, they responded quickly and helpfully. Thank you for creating such a warm and welcoming space. I would definitely stay again!

Nice, cozy stay

This house is in a great location to town and easy to get to. It has everthing you need and is very cozy. We went to NC to help with disaster relief and worked long days. It was great going "home" to such a relaxing place that was clean and well stocked. I did have a question about wi-fi and contacted the host and they were very quick to respond.

Impressive little house

Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The kitchen was quite nice. The amenities even included a few staples available like strawberry jell, butter, and black pepper. There is plenty more but that is what I used. Having Ruko on the TV made it easy for me to use my streaming services.

Comfortable, clean and very cute home.

I enjoyed my stay at this VRBO, it really is a cute little gem off the beaten path. Very private with safe neighbors. I stayed there while attending Penland class. It's a close drive and I enjoyed being able to unwind from a daily classroom instruction at Penland.

Sweet, thoughtful and artful home away

Owners thought of most everything in this home. Good tools, dishes etc in kitchen. Having laundry for a longer stay (nearly 2 weeks for me) very helpful. Varied art with credits in the “area folder”, record player with something for all, ample linens and basics made for a very homey stay. Quiet neighborhood and good proximity to town. Host checked in and communicated very well. Would stay again for sure! Grateful and felt right at home

Cozy little house

I took my kids for a few days of bird watching and found this little gem in Spruce Pine. It was centrally located to the places we wanted to explore. Spruce Pine has a small downtown with restaurants and taverns. It’s close to Burnsville and sits between Asheville and Blowing Rock as well. The house was comfortable and well equipped. All the drawers and doors in the kitchen were labeled so you can find what you need easily. There are mini-split air handlers in the main parts of the house for dialing in your comfort level. The WiFi was easy to access and the home was comfortable overall. The owner was in contact several times to check in on us and see if we needed anything. So big thumbs up for that! Enjoyable stay!!

A place to stay while attending Penland school

Quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants and post office and library and highway. Very nice appliances (A/C, oven, washer, dryer, coffee maker). We spent the days at the Penland art school, which is about a ten minute drive away.
