Casa with a View is breathtaking!

We rented Casa with a View for a family reunion. Our party consisted of 6 adults (2 elderly) and 5 children.
Finding the home was difficult, as the road was poorly marked. Roads were very steep, with tight turns, and 4-wheel drive would be a must in the winter. However, once you finally get to the house, the view was worth the trouble.
The house was decorated beautifully. There were many upgrades in the fixtures, counter tops, etc that made the home feel very luxurious. The gameroom in the lower level was a retreat for the kids. They had plenty of room to spread out their toys, a TV for their cartoons, and game tables to keep them busy. King-size beds in every room was nice. Kids room in the loft was very cute, but could use a futon for additional space. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub on the deck. Kitchen was decently equipped, although knives were terrible, and it could use additional cookie sheets.
The main inconvenience with the house were the steep, narrow stairs from the driveway to the main floor. We had a very tough time getting larger items into the house. The stairs were also tough for the grandparents to climb. I also did not like the outlets in the loft, as they stuck up from the floor, and were tripped on several times.
The house was very conveniently located in Maggie Valley. There was shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores within a 5 minute drive. We were able to visit Chimney Rock (40 min) and Ghost Town (5 min). Many great places to hike, white water raft, and tour close by.
All in all, we were extremely pleased with this rental property, and hope to stay here again in the future.
