This was exactly as described and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Several said that they would like to return again in the future too. We had no issues getting in and out of the place as we were in the area for a wedding so there was lots of coming and going. It's comfortable for a group with all ages too.

Very beautiful home! We had a great stay. Very spacious house with all the commodities we could want. They aren’t kidding about the 4WD, though.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful, spacious, and was a great fit for our group of 9 adults, 4 kids, and an infant. There was tons of room for everyone to spread out, have their own space, and sleep comfortably. The kitchen was also very well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The views are absolutely amazing once you make it up to the house, and the location was great for us. Having an Ingles only about 8 minutes away was really convenient. The last few minutes of the drive up to the house are a little steep and can feel intimidating, so I would definitely recommend AWD, especially depending on the weather, but it wasn’t terrible. There were a few cleanliness and minor maintenance issues during our stay that we shared with the property management team so they can hopefully address them for future guests. Aside from that, we had a wonderful time and would definitely consider staying with Yonder again!
