Great View of the Lake

This house was very comfortable for our family of 9, with plenty of gathering space and dining space. It was a convenient location to Asheville, Waynesville and Maggie Valley.

There was issues with the plumbing, both in the half bath upstairs and one of the bathrooms downstairs. Both toilets overflowed. A plumber may need to snake the lines as something is obviously backed up in them. Staff was really great to work with.
