Tip Top
Beautiful views, close enough to town to do business yet far enough out to see deer daily in yard. Place was spotless with plenty of firewood. My girls and I couldn’t have enjoyed it more!

Incredible view and so much fun
The property is kept in great condition, and it’s so spacious! The view is unreal, the pictures do not do it justice. The road up was difficult but fun. Overall, I would go back and definitely recommend!

Needed more days!
As good as the pictures are, they don’t do it justice. It was a perfect stay for us. We had one day that rained off and on all day and kept us at the house and everyone agreed it was their favorite day of the trip. There’s plenty to do inside and outside. We just thoroughly enjoyed it! The kids are already talking about what times of the year they want to come back. It’s just about the easiest check in and check out process I’ve ever experienced too. Highly recommended

Great experience
Beautiful home and view. Slight issues with cleaning (dirty wash cloths and towels, hot tub clarity). The road prior to the driveway is not paved and says keep out. Otherwise very nice. Would stay again.

“Not sure we will ever come back vacation”
If we are being honest …. First house infested with roaches wasted our Friday waiting to be moved … second house was fair price for what we invested in first property and out $600 to be exact besides the grief it’s caused and we got to second home fridge not working had to bring us cooler with ice… and currently we have no hot water for shower and planning a float trip at 1pm which is an hour from here …. Very disappointing worst trip we have ever taken ! This was our one family vacation here before school so with that being said won’t come back

Beautiful mountain get away
Overall the house is beautiful setting is beautiful. Amazing views, beautiful fire pit and great deck. A few things to know for your stay. House is very loud if you are not in one of actual bedrooms you can hear everything in the house. Once one person is awake upstairs it is very difficult to sleep especially in the loft or the downstairs which has the most beds. So if you are staying with a large group being earplugs. House had a well equipped kitchen and fun game room. A few negatives. The listing should warn you that you need to put your car in low gear. The gate comes at the steepest part of the driveway. If you don’t put your car in low it is hard to regain momentum and your tires spin. We arrived at night so it would have been nice to be a bit more prepared for this. Also you will pass a painted rock saying no turn around that many of our women found creepy just keep driving. Also if you are intimidated by an insanely steep driveway with very tight turns at steep angles this is probably not the place for you. Also checkout was at 10 which is very early and they pre-warn you that the cleaning crew can arrive as early as 10:01. Well out cleaning crew arrived at about 9:20 which was very annoying as we then felt like we were being rushed out with an already early checkout. We had planned to take some pictures prior to our departure and had to go ask the crew to move. Overall not a huge deal we just didn’t appreciate feeling rushed out earlier then necessary.

Bears and Deer
Yes, we saw both at this home, Great views, fantastic quite stay. This home would easily hold a large family and talk about private. Dont mind the sign that says dont enter this area, just go past that, some harmless locals. The drive is really not bad at all.

Family mountain getaway
If you are looking for a place to get away from it all and reconnect with loved ones, this is the place. We chose overlook mountain retreat for our first family trip with our adult children and their significant others, and it was perfect. There was plenty of space to escape and find a few quiet moments alone when needed, yet plenty of things to do together. We had pool and video game tournaments, roasted smores at the fire pit, relaxed in the hot tub, played board games, and took little trips now and then to Marshall, Mars Hill, and Weaverville. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Be aware that the driveway is very steep. There aren’t tons of things to do in the nearby area unless you’re ok with venturing a little further to Asheville, but that was fine with us. Wonderful stay!
