Mountain Views

We had a wonderful stay at Summit Haven! The home was beautiful. It was well equipped with a lovely kitchen, great bathrooms, and garage. The porch with a fireplace was perfect. The most amazing thing though was there was an incredible mountain view from every window. The golf course was amazing, as well as the hiking trails. The club amenities were as described. Shopping was close in either Sylva or Waynesville and they both have historic downtowns. We had a wonderful time!
