We booked at the last minute to replace a cancelled trip to the NC mountains after Hurricane Helene. We didn't expect to find anything special so close to our travel dates, and we had never heard of Hanging Rock, so we crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. What luck! This property is AMAZING! It feels completely secluded and private, it has so much character and charm, and the local trails/parks are just as exciting as the ones in the Blue Ridge Parkway. Even better, it's the CLEANEST Vrbo we've ever stayed in, AND we didn't see a single bug inside the entire stay. There isn't a thing lacking in the house, the firepit is lovely, the old homestead is fascinating, and Emily and Cory are immediately responsive and helpful. My husband wants to move in, and our two teen girls are already asking when we can go back. HIGHLY recommended!!
