The property is beautifully landscaped and mountain views are amazing! From the time we booked until we checked out Josh and Amy were very responsive and helpful - answering any questions we had promptly! They offered us early check when they did not have anyone booked to check out the day of our arrival, which was so kind! The home was exceptionally clean 10 out of 10 🤩 We appreciated the small details like stocked coffee bar, drink holders in game room, towel hooks on the deck. Mattresses and sheets so comfortable! Fire pits, ping pong, cornhole, shuffleboard and of course the GOATS during our short stay we were able to fit in Biltmore, hiking/waterfalls, Alpine Coaster, white water rafting and plenty of time relaxing at the property - very convenient location! Lots of great local restaurants and shopping!

Wedding Weekend

The Property was fantastic, it had all the amenities we were looking for to celebrate our nuptials with our adult children. The steep driveway and parking for large groups proved to be challenging but achievable. The Goats kept us entertained and the views are exceptional. We hired an officiant to come to the home for the indoor wedding with family and it was an amazing experience for both my wife and I. Definitely a great venue for an intimate wedding. Thanks to Josh, Amy & the Goats!

Great property with a great location. I can not say enough wonderful things about this property. I have stayed at numerous rentals and this one was our favorite, of course the goats were a nice added bonus. We enjoyed greeting them before our adventures and once we got home. The property was far enough off the beaten path in a quaint little town nearby, but still close enough to go do all the things. Will definitely book this property again if we are in the area.

Great Experience!

I held a staff retreat (6 people) at this location, which was excellent. It's comfortable (awesome beds!) and cozy, yet there is room for people to roam and be alone. The hot tub was fantastic. We did lots of cooking and grilling; the kitchen had everything we needed. Responsive hosts. Highly recommend!

Wheelchair Accessible if you have ramps

Our group of 6 women travelled from a pregnancy and parenting resource center, Life Choices, in Roxboro, NC, to bring items needed, a time of respite, good food, fun, and fellowship to our sister center, MY Life Center there in Burnsville. The main level bedroom and bathroom were large enough to fit in my wheelchair. Just needed my ramps to get up the 3 steps.

Excellent Review of a Beautiful Property

This is a beautiful property, exceptionally clean. The beds are very comfortable and kitchen is well-appointed with the basics. Josh, the host, is very responsive and communicative. We ran into the possibility of bad weather. Josh was proactive in his communication and he was planfull in thinking forward to our check out in the event of ice/snow. Don’t miss downtown Burnsville, so many fun shops and restaurants. Most of all… the GOATS!! The goats make this place so special.
