We really enjoyed our weekend at the home—it’s a beautiful place, and we especially appreciated the peaceful setting. It would be helpful if the description mentioned the steep, one-lane, low visibility road (about half a mile long) leading up to the house, so guests can plan accordingly.

Manager's Response

Tristin, we’re so glad you enjoyed the home and its peaceful setting! We appreciate your feedback about the road leading up to the house, and I'm happy to share that we’ve revised the description to make things clearer for future guests and assist with their planning. We truly appreciate your thoughtful review, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Even Better Than Expected!

Absolutely fantastic stay! The house was spotless and stocked with so many thoughtful extras—it made everything so easy and comfortable. The views were breathtaking, and we even spotted a baby bear, which made the trip extra memorable! The hot tub was clean, relaxing, and perfect after long days of exploring. No complaints at all. We were beyond happy with this place and will definitely rent again. Highly recommend!

Manager's Response

Jenna, we're thrilled to hear that your stay at The Overlook was even better than expected and that the amenities and thoughtful extras just enhanced your experience all the more. What a sweet and exciting surprise to spot one of our resident baby black bears! We can't thank you enough for your kind review and for recommending us to fellow travelers, and we're excited to welcome you back for many more fantastic getaways in the future!

Shared Amazing Views with Friends!

This is the perfect place for 2 families to share! The house has everything you could need, is comfortable, and near great drinking, dining, hiking, and shopping options. The hot tub was clean for us to just jump in! Without a doubt, the best mountain view I’ve ever had while drinking my morning coffee!!

Manager's Response

Thanks for the stellar review, Renee! The view at our "Overlook" home is simply stunning and we're so happy you could relax on the porch with a nice cup of coffee in hand. We can't thank you enough for choosing to stay with us at Greybeard Rentals. We hope to host you again soon.

What a View!

As I'm sure you must have heard, that view is amazing. And, the house itself is beautiful. The location is ideal, being very quiet and private, yet just minutes to town. Just a couple of things I should mention. The camera pointed at the hot tub seems highly inappropriate. We felt violated, not knowing who was watching in this personal space, and whether we may even be recorded. Really creepy. We understand the need for security when there are no tenants, but it seems an invasion of privacy while occupied. One other thing I might mention is that the deck spaces were quite dirty. We had to clean the furniture before we could even sit down, and the lower level was simply unusable. We've stayed at Greybeard properties on a number of occasions, and have always found them to be immaculate. Again, we loved our stay, but just wanted to point out some areas for improvement.

Manager's Response

Kenneth, we can't thank you enough for continually choosing us at Greybeard for your mountain vacations, and we sincerely appreciate your honest feedback on The Overlook. We're thrilled to hear you had an overall amazing experience and loved the breathtaking view and fantastic location that is private yet close to town. We apologize that the location of the exterior security camera made you uncomfortable, but I'm pleased to share that after passing your feedback along to the homeowner, they decided to remove it. We're also sorry that the deck spaces felt dirty and unusable. While our housekeeping team works hard to get these spaces clean before guests arrive, this time of year is notorious for pollen, which accumulates quickly! We will certainly relay this feedback to our amazing housekeeping team for quality control moving forward. We are always seeking growth and improvement, and it's feedback like this that helps us do just that, so thank you again for your thoughtful review! We look forward to helping you plan your next visit soon.

Easy living at the top of the mountain. Overlooking the town of Black Mountain. Perfect for couples wanting to enjoy the view with a short drive into town. We will be back!
