Wonderful house with a great view of Lake Toxaway

Our week in October at this house was great! Since we were the first to rent this home, there were some minor adjustments that had to be made, but the owner and the property managers were "johnny on the spot" and could not have been more accomodating, seeing to our every need! The upstairs is the master bedroom with a bath off the bedroom. The kitchen is updated, a bit small if there is more than 2 people cooking and cleaning. The dining room and family room upstairs has an electric fireplace and the BIG tv. Downstairs there are 3 bedrooms/2 baths with a living area,couch chairs, fireplace and a GREAT place for the kids to hang out with all their stuff..On each floor is a small porch to sit and admire the beautiful view of the lake and sunrise. The pontoon boat was a bit on the dirty side, but in good working order. Just right for our sunset cocktail cruise. We were also able to hook up to the internet with their wifi. The grocery store, Ingles, is 20 minutes away and very clean and friendly(one must remember there is a big time difference between city miles and mountain miles). We went to Whitewater Falls, Whiteside Mountain and Turtle Back Falls to do trail hiking and saw some amazing scenery from the top of the mountain and the kids were able to wade in the stream at the bottom of the mountains. We also visited the Biltmore House in Asheville. I would recommend making that an all day afair as the house itself takes about 2 hours to tour, the garden 1 hour,if you see it all, and of course there is the winery.....need I say more! Our last day was packing and laundry day which was nice to come home with clean clothes! I would highly recommend this home. Although it is not one of the mega masions on the lake, it is comfortable and one of the original houses. The owners did a great job at remodeling the inside with the use of earth tones, stainless steel appliances, granite counter top and then adding a little country charm. We plan to go back in the summer where we will be able to take the kids skiing and tubing.
