Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Such a beautiful place. Close to one of the most beautiful parts of the blue ridge parkway I have ever been too. Every thing was super clean. Loved the sauna, Cold plunge and the hot tub. Great way to end our days after hiking. The big window was wonderful. Well stocked. The robes were a nice touch as well as the snacks hats and coozies. You thought of everything. 10/10 we will be back.
