Great mountain location!

We throughly enjoyed our stay. The large open living area was perfect for our extended family and small children to visit and play. We enjoyed the firepit ever night and loved that the quality firewood was delivered in advance of our visit. We held ping pong tournaments and watched movies in the theater room! The location was perfect for day trips to Cashiers and Brevard and we drove to nearby hiking in Gorges State Park. The park and waterfall down the street was perfect for the kids and the dogs loved the dog park! Wonderful vacation home!
