This property worked wonderfully for our group gathering. We weren't holding a large event, just a reunion of several families and individuals, totaling about 20 people staying at the house. The property managers were very responsive and accommodating throughout the process. And the property - oh my goodness, the views! - was amazing. It was sufficiently cool, even in late July, to enjoy the massive deck throughout the day. The surrounding area is also so beautiful and we hiked to Crabtree Falls one day, Linville Falls another day. Overall, would definitely stay here again!
Just for reference (but not significant enough to warrant a lower rating): The parking is tricky at this property. They don't allow use of the garage so fitting more than a few vehicles becomes a tetris tournament. We made it work, but just be mindful of this. Also, it is a little odd to have a house this large and accommodating this many people, and only have one refrigerator. Most similarly sized homes for rent have two. We made it work, but just a comment for future guests to prepare for.
