Graduation Weekend

Great place for WCU graduation weekend. House was perfect. Parking was a little lean with a full house, but extra spot helped! Road is pretty steep but had no issues. Owners were very quick to respond to questions.

Great house, great views

We had a great overnight at Balsam Haven! Perfect spot to watch the sunrise. Everything we could need in the house. The deck is perfect, and having a fenced in side yard is really nice for our dogs. House was clean with lots of little touches to make our stay very pleasant. Will be back again if it’s not booked!
