Oz weekend
Amazing property, it had everything we needed, kitchen was completely stocked with every kind of pots and pans and utensils. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and beds were very clean. All rooms were decorated beautifully and we li we all the extra blankets for us to use when we were on the deck watching tv. The downstairs was a favorite hang out . . We will stay here again and I would have to say it was the best place we have rented. We had 3 couples and a 2 year old, a1 year old and a 7 month staying there and we had plenty of room. We did not use the 4th bedroom because of the bunk beds and the grandkids being so young.

Nightmare
The cabin was very nice and clean but the WiFi did not work so couldn’t access any of the TVs. The hot tub was freezing. We called the support number. They had no one who could come out to help us with either issue. By morning we still hadn’t hear from anyone so decided to check out and move to a hotel. We rented this place because of the amenities listed. We feel we should be given a refund for the remaining two nights. We have rented several times from VRBO without any issues. This is the first time our rental was handled by Vacasa. Whole thing was a nightmare. We won’t be renting again. It was expensive and certainly didn’t live up to listing.

Serene/peaceful and remote
Gorgeous house tucked away in a very remote location w amazing views. Plenty of room for our family… main reason I rented house was for the back porch- but sadly nothing worked- fireplace wouldn’t light and propane for heater empty. Upstairs air didn’t work, several remotes and clocks had no batteries or they were dead, microwave did not heat, screens were missing in windows (later found hidden behind dresser). It indicates pet friendly but for little dogs yard was a struggle; so be aware- it’s also a distance from Boone (not being familiar with mountain driving- 12 miles to me is close- however it’s a 45-50 min drive). If house was inspected prior to rental; would’ve been an amazing stay.

Misleading stay
Overall my friends and I had a good time but some things we were not satisfied with. The following were issues we had: broken hot tub, broken locks on doors, falsely advertised gym, missing bed sheets, only a $50 refund for a broken hot tub, tv remotes missing , beds not being made, and a very poor cleaning job.

Amazing House -Needs Some Attention to Details!
The house was in an amazing location and what sells the house is outdoor living space. It was perfect and we spent 95% of our time there. However no remotes worked in the house, tv, ceiling fans, nothing. There was not a spatula or cooking spoon in the house. There was not no hand soap in the bathroom, no dishwasher detergent, no kitchen towels or dish clothes. The outside heater only Elgar enough gas for one night. It is an amazing house the owners needs to do some refreshing on amenities. Thanks!

Rainy weekend on Beech Mt.
The house on Locus Ridge Road was adequate, with plenty of space for our multi-generational group to spread out. The outdoor covered porch had two heaters,necessary this rainy weekend. A few kitchen tools that we needed for baking were lacking, measuring spoons, etc. We could have used better instructions about where to take recyclables that our group generated, and convenient grocery shopping locations.

Nice stay!
We enjoyed this property for 5 nights. Beds were comfortable, easy check in process. There was a huge yellow jacket hive on the back porch which was removed the next morning after check in. The property manager called to tell us it was there. I was very grateful because I am very allergic to bites of all kinds. The property is about a 10 min drive to restaurants in the Beech Mountain area. It is a very curvey drive to get to the property. You would definitely need a 4WD in the winter. Very isolated only one neighbor. 20 mins to Banner Elk. 35 mins to Grandfather Mountain. Good place to visit and to relax!! Would recommend.
