We had an amazing time! We have stayed in Blue Ridge several times and have always struggled with choosing between a mountain view or water view......finding both is a rarity. This house has both! There is nothing quite like sitting on the porch, enjoying the mountain view, and listening to the sounds of the river. Breathtaking! I do wish the access to the river was easier. We were able to make it to the river; however, I doubt most people would be able to. It's a shame, because the river access is one of my favorite things about this home. About half of the trail is assisted with wood steps/landings, but the other half is not. It would be so helpful to have the entire path easily accessible so all guests could enjoy. Also, a few other suggestions. We were told to drive out of the way to the management office, a closed office on a Sunday, just to pick up the entry code. Pretty annoying, since the code could easily have been emailed to us. We also felt that the paper towels, soap, and toilet paper were pretty poor quality. I was surprised to see that in such a nice rental. We also needed to purchase more from the store, as we were not provided with enough for our stay. I also think that you should not have a tip envelope for the house cleaner. If someone chooses to leave a tip, that's fine, but to have an envelope out was pretty tacky. I've never seen that in a home rental before. Of course, I want to stress that these are not complaints, but rather suggestions. You can probably tell that I am very picky, and I would absolutely stay here again. I look for location, size, amenities, and most importantly cleanliness. This home scored 110% in all these areas! I LOVED the house! I even took a few pictures to recreate some of their designs at my home. Thank you for a lovely time! We will be back :)
