This house was perfect. We showed up super late and it was still easy to locate. The sunrise view off the back porch was amazing every morning, and the house was secluded, very quiet, and peaceful. It was clean, as shown in the pictures, and only 10-15 minutes from Maggie Valley which was convenient for us as we were there for an event. We had a great time, and would definitely recommend this house to others. Thank you Alissa for letting us stay in your home!

Had a lovely final spring break here with our college friends :) It was the perfect getaway and the views were STUNNING (waterrock knob and soco falls were such good recs!!). We loved the house (the deck views and hot tub especially), and Alissa was such a lovely host.

Luke & Alissa were amazing. We had some hiccups with the snow and had a hard time getting to the cabin but Alissa was so responsive during this time and so helpful. She even gave us an additional night at no extra cost to make up for the troubles we had that were not even their fault! Luke and Alissa were so incredibly kind, they were so helpful and made sure everything we needed was there. I've never experienced such amazing hosts like Alissa & Luke. The cabin was spacious and beautiful, we loved the mountain views that were right in the backyard. Perfect for sunrise and sunset watching. Our stay was perfect even through the small hiccups. 10/10 Airbnb stay and I'd recommend it to anyone. I'd love to come back one day! If you're thinking of a place to stay, consider this beautiful Airbnb.

Alissa’s place was exactly as described. It was a beautiful place to stay while up in the mountains. It had a beautiful interior with an even more beautiful view outside on the patio. The amenities such as the hot tub and ping pong table were a nice inclusion. Alissa provided perfect instructions on how to arrive at the house as well. I would highly recommend her place to others; I would love to return sometime as well.

You won’t regret this one, Book it! Hosts were friendly, and very responsive. If I had a question, it was answered extremely quickly. The view is absolutely stunning 🤩 I truly felt like the pictures don’t even do justice to what my eyes were looking at. Very convenient to the ski area. Cute local shopping areas about 15 minutes down the street. The house was exactly as described. Kitchen was well stocked (which I very much appreciated). Fire pit and seating area were awesome! I honestly don’t have anything negative to say. We loved our stay here, and would return in a heartbeat ❤️
