Wonderful house and location in the mountains for a long weekend with friends. Wish we could have stayed longer. Wonderful views from the decks and firepit area. Would stay here again.

Great location. House is great. Loved the hanging swing/bed on the middle level porch. View is fantastic. Morning sun feels great on the porch. Some minor broken things when we arrived, but I chatted with the property manager and it doesn't sound as though we will be charged for those. Very nice property manager who is easy to communicate with.

We have stayed here 11 of the last 13 years. A great view as well as a good place for my group of bikers. Will stay again soon.

This home is a great place for a mountain vacation. The porches are amazing and perfect for enjoying the view. We loved the fire pit on the cold evenings. We cooked most meals at the house and found everything we needed as far as pots, utensils, storage containers, appliances, etc. There was plenty of room for our group to spread out. The fireplaces were wonderful (and much needed on our trip). There were a lot of steps so this could be an issue for young children or people with mobility issues. Although the house is up a winding, mountain road, it was paved and easily driven. I definitely recommend this location!

The view was amazing! The amenities were perfect for our family trip. Three couples stayed with two kids and it was a fantastic set-up where you could have your own privacy but also have enough space to gather together and not feel cramped.

This house was perfect for our long weekend get away with adult kids and their spouses. Everything was even better than described! Plenty to do at the house (lots of games), plenty of space for each couple to enjoy quiet time and lots of room for us all to enjoy being together. After hiking and exploring each day, we loved hanging out on the amazing deck and watching the clouds literally float right by us. We will return!

Large house with several decks that overlook the valley below. We enjoyed the firepit area at night. Secluded area up a mountain that we really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Kitchen was well stocked and place was clean. Would stay here again.

We spent our Thanksgiving with our family at Mt Vista and had an amazing time!! The house was perfect for us all! There was plenty of room and we were very comfortable throughout our stay. We enjoyed time in the great room with the beautiful fireplace and also enjoyed the outdoor fire pit at night for smores! The views were stunning on each of the multiple decks;). We were so pleasantly surprised to see the house decorated for Christmas!! Especially that beautiful Christmas Tree!! We ventured out to the town of Franklin and Highlands while stopping at Dry Falls on the way…it was all So much fun!! We would love to come back!!

My family and I had an amazing time at the cabin. The area where the cabin is located is absolutely gorgeous. My family and I visit NC almost every year and hike different places along the Blue Ridge Parkway and visit different waterfalls. After staying at this cabin, we won’t be looking for another place to stay in the future!

Words are not enough to describe the views from this mountain retreat! Coffee tasted even better while sitting on the porch swing or watching hummingbirds from your chair. Our time around the fire pit made memories of the best 'smores we've ever had! We look forward to our next visit!

This is a wonderful place in between Franklin and Highlands. We had a bit of a snafu during checking (the place had not been cleaned from the previous renters , and the owner did not have a backup plan). We figured it out and the rest of our say was very nice. At every level the decks give gorgeous views, the kitchen is well appointed, and there are fun games in the loft.

Decks, fire pit, and the view were amazing. Loved the fireplaces, but restrictions were set about using them for only 30 minutes a day. And likewise, restrictions on use of heat sources, but on the whole, an excellent experience.
