We loved the location of the house. We have stayed in multiple locations in Watauga County and Seven Devils is centrally located to skiing, Boone and everything in between. The roads are easy to navigate. The view from the house is SPECTACULAR and the wrap around deck is lovely. The hot tub was great and the fire pit was great as well.
Unfortunately, the house itself could use some TLC. We rent several homes a year all around the country so we're familiar with what a rental home should have. Upon arrival, the house didn't seem like it had been checked before our arrival, surfaces and floors were dusty. I had to sweep and vacuum the floors and wipe down surfaces upon arrival . The beds were super uncomfortable and the linens are absolutely terrible. The closets should be cleaned out and not have remnants of random items in it.. feels dirty. The heated floors in bathrooms were great.
The kitchen and laundry room could use a good cleaning out and replacement of some essential items( silverware is a jumbled up mess and looked dirty, cooking utensils looked super worn, pans were not desirable to use. There isn't one cabinet left open to use as a pantry to store groceries, I had to make space in the cabinet to left of fridge. If the kitchen was re-worked and organized it would have a more welcoming feel and encourage guests to take better care of the place. The kitchen sink nozzle doesn't work well and needs replacing. The laundry room had random items all over the shelf and the lint trap was missing from dryer.
We would love to stay here again if some of these items were addressed. It is a great house and the location is top notch... It just needs someone to give it some TLC and updating.
