Everview is the most amazing rental I've been to! Marilyn keeps the house so well stocked with things guests might need and have forgotten, it’s so clean, and the view is spectacular! The pictures really do not do the house justice, I loved being able to have separate living spaces for kids and adults! The hot tub was amazing after long days in Asheville, Gatlinburg, and hiking. We are already talking about possibly coming back next year, with the hopes of snow :).

10/10 recommend to everyone who is thinking about it

Marilyn was very responsive.

What an amazing house!! This is our second year staying at Everview and we will be back next fall!! Everything was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. Communication with owner was great! Any questions we had before and during our stay were answered promptly!

The airbnb was absolutely beautiful with stunning views. The house was clean, easy to use and everything was very accessible. Had a wonderful time! Marilyn was an absolutely wonderful host and greatly appreciate easy communication - top notch. She was always available with any questions! Would love to stay here again!! Thank you!!

One of the best Airbnb experiences ever. From the minute we booked the place, Marilyn was quick to respond & very accommodating. House was very clean & tidy- super organized too! During our stay Marilyn was so quick to respond to questions & inquiries. Beautiful mountain views from the deck. This place was just what our group needed!

Marilyn's place is a beautiful mountain getaway located around 35-40 minutes from all Asheville has to offer. It is in a wonderful small neighborhood built into the mountains and offers everything you need for a mountain escape! Being able to stay with so many friends and our pups in a home that gave us amazing views, hot tub nights, and everything you'd need to cook in made for a perfect weekend!

We booked this home last minute (Marilyn was great and very accommodating) and snatching up one of the last slots available. Now I see why it's booked most of the time. The home is set on a beautiful mountainside and has all the beautiful views. Plenty of room for the kiddos to run around. We saw horses, cows and bunnies (+ some) The home has absolutely everything we needed including baby gear. The hot tub was great!

Owner Response

Thank you so much Michelle! So happy you were able to enjoy Everview and everything it has to offer. Let us know when you're ready to come back. We would love to have you stay with us again.

Our family had a WONDERFUL time staying here! The house is clean, spacious, and very comfortable!! The views are breathtaking and the house is stocked with anything you might need. We would definitely consider staying here again in the future! An extra bonus was the view of the mountains and horses from the hot tub!

Awesome views. Just as described. We did a lot: visiting Asheville, Knoxville and Waynesville from this convenient location... also had time to enjoy the house: grill, hot tub and just relax and watch the horses while having brunch on the deck. This is the perfect place to do a lot, or a little...or a little of both like we did!

Amazing place with even more amazing views. We will definitely be returning!

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Quiet, clean, comfortable and a beautiful location. Marilyn was very responsive. We highly recommend.

Beautiful scenery and home. Great place to relax and reset

Ever view was AMAZING. My husband and I stayed there for our honeymoon, and were completely blown away. We brought many things from our kitchen “just in case” and didn’t use any of it. The fireplace, view from the deck, grill and hot tub were our favorite parts❤️ Marilyn made it very easy by leaving a guide to the area for local restaurants and grocery stores. Wonderful, we’ll for sure be back!

Perfect for families! Great space inside and outside for adults and kids.

Spectacular view of the surrounding mountains!

This house had beautiful views all the way around. It was extremely clean and well equipped. We LOVED the hot tub! It was a relaxing, quiet neighborhood. We would absolutely stay again.

Owner Response

Glad you were able to get away and relax for a few days. Hope to have you back soon!

Great place great view great stay

Owner Response

Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed your stay at Everview. We would be glad to host you again anytime.

Marilyn is an exquisite hostess! The home is exactly as described and all the additional tips Marilyn gave us were perfect! We were a family of 6 adults and 2 children under 4 - plenty of room!

Owner Response

Thank you, Karen! So very nice of you. We strive to stay on top of things at the house to make sure our guests' stay is as stress-free as possible. Come back soon!

Place has killer views! It’s nestled away in a quiet and small neighborhood so you’re not all alone which I loved. A nice getaway for a week!

The Everview cabin was the perfect place to stay for my mountain getaway trip. I recommend staying here if you’re traveling to the Waynesville/Asheville area. The house was well equipped & Marilyn provided great & quick responses to our questions.

Owner Response

So glad you chose our place to enjoy your special weekend. It must have been very pretty in the morning with the blanket of snow covering everything. You are welcome back anytime.

We loved the gorgeous view and tranquility!

Owner Response

Thanks, Carolyn. Happy to have hosted you and your family. We would love to have you back anytime.

We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this home! Marilyn was responsive and an excellent host. The house was spotless and had all the amenities needed for a stay. The hot tub was great after a long day of hiking in the national park. If you need a quiet, mountain escape, choose this place!

Owner Response

Thanks Meredith! Glad you enjoyed it. We appreciate your business and hope to have you back soon.

My family and I felt right at home in Everview. This is a beautiful home with all the necessities and more. The host is very attentive and thoughtful. We would definitely stay here again.

Owner Response

Thanks for staying with us Kristin. We appreciate you taking good care of our place. Come back anytime.

Beautiful home! Wonderful views! If you're looking for a quiet getaway in the mountains, then this is the place for you.

Owner Response

Thanks for your review, Brooklynn. After reading it a couple of times, I realized I should come up with a melody since it would make for a perfect jingle for our home. Haha Hope to have you back soon.

This was our best Air BnB experience ever! The house was spotless and the housekeeper was even there when we arrived with tips and helpful suggestions for attractions are pins Waynesville (and thank God for her because we had a bit of trouble with the unexpected snow from Christmas but with her suggestions we were great). The house had everything you could wish for from every kitchen tool imaginable to multiple bathrooms and the views..Absolutely stunning. We loved staying in Waynesville, it was close enough to Asheville that we could get our fill and then escape the craziness. Marilyn was so communicative, we bothered her quite a bit with questions about the snow and fireplace but she was always so kind and responded quickly. Thank you for making our vacation the perfect one!

Owner Response

Thanks, Julia for your kind words. We're happy to have won the top prize in your vacation rental experience. You were wonderful guests as well and would love to have you back soon. This area is great in any season.

My family of four had a wonderful stay during Christmas week. The house was clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed to be a home away from home for a few days. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again- besides the house there is a lot to do in the area and we only scratched the surface.

Owner Response

So happy you were able to reserve after we had that cancellation. Looks like it worked out for both of us. You are excellent guests.

Beautiful home close to Asheville, skiing, hiking and the lovely town of Waynesville.

Owner Response

Thanks, Dorothy. We loved having you at Everview. Please visit us again soon.

The best house.

Owner Response

Short and to the point. Love it! Thank you and come back soon.

Beautiful, comfortable home. Very clean and in great condition. Host was very responsive and helpful. Hope to return again.

Very beautiful home! Host had very fast responses to all my questions and ensured all my expectations were met. Home very clean and many amenities available! Truly enjoyed my stay.

Owner Response

Thanks so much, Evelyn. We're happy you got to spend time with your family enjoying this beautiful area of North Carolina. Hope to have you back soon.

Love this home! It’s in a beautiful area and has amazing views. The rooms were clean and had comfy beds. We loved having the option to use the hot tub. Big kitchen to make family dinner and comfy couches for game night in front of the fireplace. Perfect place to stay!

Owner Response

Thanks Kristi! That fireplace is ideal as the weather starts to turn in the fall. Glad you were able to take advantage of it and enjoy your game nights.

We had an amazing stay!!! Everything was so clean and she had everything you could have asked for. Everything was labeled so nicely in the Kitchen. There was plenty of extra blankets for cuddling on the couch by the fireplace. She even supplied us with brochures of stuff to do around the area. I am thankful that she did that because if it wasn't for that we wouldn't of been able to find the gorgeous hike that we went on. We were very happy and we will definitely be going back again in the future!

Owner Response

Thanks again, Theresa. We hope to have your family back soon!

Such an amazing place!!! Marilyn is a great host!! Quick response to any questions and great suggestions for the area!! We loved relaxing in the hot tub in the cool mountain air and the amazing views!!!

Owner Response

Glad you enjoyed it and you really did get some cool mountain air those days. Hope to have you back soon!

The house was perfect for our needs. The mountain views were spectacular. Marilyn was always prompt in communicating/replying to our requests/needs.

Owner Response

Thank you Mark! It was a pleasure to have you stay at Everview. Please let us know when you're ready for another mountain getaway.

Loved the scenery from the deck in the evenings. The house was very roomy for the 6 of us. Very clean.

Owner Response

So happy you enjoyed your stay. Let us know when you're ready for more!

Beautiful location, good communication, and a wonderful array of local suggestions (hikes, food, etc). Our dog loved the yard. Overall a lovely stay. Thanks Marilyn!

Owner Response

Thanks for taking the time to write your review. Glad you were able to enjoy our home for your special occasion. Would love to have you back soon.

This was a wonderful place for 2 families to stay and enjoy some fall weather. The views were breathtaking out every window in the house. It was very spacious and having 2 master suites was a huge plus! We loved having the kids stay downstairs in their own space with a game room. The beds and pillows were super comfortable too. No detail forgotten. We look forward to going back again!

We booked this for a family reunion following my husband's deployment homecoming. We had 7 adults, 1 toddler, and a newborn. The pack and plays were a lifesaver traveling from Massachusetts. Being able to take the dog really made it so the whole family was included. We cooked every meal in the house and never felt the need to leave.

Owner Response

Thank you! It is our honor to have hosted a military family. You will ALWAYS be welcome at our home. We are grateful for your husband's service in ensuring our nation's freedom.

A beautiful cabin close to a ton of beautiful hikes. We had a fantastic time.

Owner Response

Thanks for your review, Julia. Glad you got to enjoy some of the beautiful nature hikes in the area. Come back soon!

Beautiful home and scenic views. The hot tub was a great bonus, and everything was perfect inside and outside of the home. A big thank you to Marilyn for being a fantastic host!

Owner Response

It was our pleasure and we are so pleased you chose our home for such a special occasion. We wish your sister and brother-in-law a wonderful life together. We hope to have you back soon.

Amazing place to stay! Marilyn is phenomenal! Made sure everything was clean and ready for our stay. Very thoughtful with the items in her home and envisioning what might be needed for your time here.

Owner Response

Thanks Geri! Glad you were able to enjoy your time riding around the beautiful countryside. Come back soon!

Marilyn's mountain house retreat was incredible! The views were spectacular, the house was very spacious for our family of six, the hot tub was a great relaxing touch for the evenings, and we were not too far from Asheville for dinner trips, local breweries, and day tripping. Would rate this home more highly if I could!

Owner Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a great review! So glad you were able to spend your birthday at our home. Looking forward to having you back soon.

We had a wonderful weekend at Marilyn's house. Everything was exactly as described. The house was super clean from the inside and outside. The neighborhood is very nice and safe. Having coffee in the morning while enjoying the amazing view was priceless. Marilyn is so nice and made sure that we have everything we need to enjoy our stay to the max. We will definitely come back in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Owner Response

Thank you, Mohamad. We appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure hosting you. Hope you're able to come back soon.

Marilyn was amazing! I am a person with a lot of questions and she answered every one. This home was a perfect location for my mother's birthday weekend. The landscape was beautiful and the home had everything we needed.

Owner Response

Thank you Shanice! Glad you were able to enjoy this wonderful occasion with your family at our home. Hope to have you back soon.

Everything was as advertised! Marilyn was a wonderful host

Owner Response

Thank you David! Glad you enjoyed your mountain getaway. Come back soon.

This was a great location for us to spend time with our granddaughter and family we had not seen through the Covid 19 shut down. Great location to enjoy the beautiful mountains and countryside and close enough to drive to all the great parks and recreational areas.

Owner Response

So happy you chose to stay at Everview for your much needed break from the pandemic. Please visit us again soon. There is plenty to enjoy year-round in our area.

The house was perfectly set up with everything we needed. The kitchen is great so plan on being able to cook your meals. My daughter had a schedule of saying good night to the three horses from the property out back. I could have just stayed at the house the four days and been happy. The rolling hill out back and soft grass is perfect for just laying and watching the clouds. I look forward to returning in the future.

Marilyn's place was great! We grew to love it more as the week went on... the views off the back deck and out the front door are beautiful!! We are a family of 6, and we were so thankful that Marilyn had plenty of silverware and dishes so we didn't have to run the dishwasher more than once a day. She also had plenty of towels!! The hot tub was GREAT and we loved it after our day's spent hiking. We had a few small issues, but Marilyn was extremely prompt and gracious and went the extra mile for things to be perfect. We look forward to returning!

Owner Response

Thanks Michelle! Happy to have had your family at Everview. I appreciate all of the feeback you provided. We're always striving to improve and a guest's input helps us know exactly where to concentrate our efforts. Hope you're back soon!

Everything was great! We really enjoyed the hot tub and large yard space. It was great that they had thought of all the little things for your stay. Beautiful views out every window and it was great to be able to sit out on the deck and relax.

Owner Response

Thank you for the great review. We love spending time in the hot tub as well and just gazing and the serenity and beautiful sunsets. We hope to have you back soon.

My family and I stayed here for a few nights this past weekend and we absolutely loved it! So many cool things to do nearby. The view from the house is awesome. Definitely recommend staying here.

Owner Response

Thanks for the great review, Amanda! So happy that area attractions have reopened and welcomed visitors. Glad you were able to experience so much in just a few days. Hope to have you back soon.

Amazing place to bring our extended friends and family together and breathe taking views! We definitely hope to be back!

Owner Response

So happy you got to spend that time with your family and enjoy what this wonderful area of our country has to offer. Hurry back!

Wonderful place to stay and relax.

Stunning views and an amazing house. Marilyn is a fantastic host.

Wonderful views, great host!

This is a beautiful location and a valuable Airbnb option. The hosts are very experienced and leave you well prepared for your stay. The home is very clean, well-kept, and in a fantastic location. The double-level decks and views of the mountains are highlights. Really spacious option for you and your dog to spread out and enjoy the fresh air, too.

Owner Response

Thanks so much Tim. Glad you were able to enjoy your time at Everview.

Very spacious and clean house. Really enjoyed our stay!

Owner Response

Thanks, William. Glad you were able to get away and stay with us. Hope to have you back soon!

The Mountain Views were beautiful and we even got to see the neighbor’s horses in the morning! The home was super clean and there were plenty of towels and basic essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, etc. The kitchen was stocked well with everything we needed to cook dinner for two nights. The home was so spacious, we had way more room than we needed! The hot tub was a great addition and got plenty of use during the chilly nights. Overall, loved this space and will return!Marilyn

Owner Response

Thanks Linett. Glad you were able to enjoy your stay before the virus hijacked everyone's travel plans. Hope to have you back soon.

Great host and quick response! My girlfriend and friends had a wonderful time here!

Super clean and such a beautiful house.

Owner Response

Thank you Tara! So glad you enjoyed your stay and would definitely love to have you back soon. Please check your email shortly for information on how to save on your next mountain getaway.

The house was beautiful and had all the amenities you could ask for. The views of the surrounding mountains are stunning especially if you take a quick walk up the street. The hot tub was a great touch. Marilyn was a great host and responsive to all our requests.

Owner Response

Thank you, Cameron for taking the time to write such a great review of your stay. It helps tremendously! I sent a separate thank you email on 2/20 advising ways to save on your next trip, so please make sure you read it. Hope to have you back soon.

Perfect mountain retreat for family or friends. Quick response, wonderful viewing comfortable accommodation. Large jacuzzi was a great addition.

Owner Response

Thanks, Ori. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back soon!

Perfectly set up for anything you could possibly need minus your actual food and clothing. There were no glitches in this stay. Everything worked, communication was so fast and open with Marilyn. This space provided exactly what we needed and I had hoped for. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Owner Response

Thanks, Katie - Your private feedback just made my day! Makes all of the work that goes into running Everview worth it when guests show appreciation like that. We hope to have you back soon. Loretta

Beautiful getaway with lots of amenities.

Many thanks for your beautiful home. It was a perfect place for our family (3 generations!) to stay! We enjoyed movies, the hot tub, cooking, and skiing at Cataloochee (the kid's ski passes were an amazing bonus...thank you!) We would return in a heartbeat.

Owner Response

Thanks for your review Carrie. Our home is perfect for extended family to get together and enjoy their time in the mountains. We would welcome you back in a heartbeat as well ;)

Our stay at Everview Lane was nothing short of spectacular. The layout of the house easily accommodated is. We were 8 adults and two small children. The house is divided in three “apartments.” Each bedroom on the main floor has a bathroom, large closet, and a door to separate from the common living room/ kitchen area. The bedrooms on the first floor were set up perfectly for my sister, her husband, and her two teenagers. This area had one queen bed, two twins, and a living room with a couch and tv, as well as a bathroom. The host has the house set up with EVERYTHING you could think of to cook and host. Also, the house is ready for small kids with high chairs and pack and plays. I was extra thankful for the baby gates as well! Overall, our stay was wonderful. Thank you Marilyn for the wonderful mountain getaway !

Owner Response

Excellent way of describing the layout, Isabelle. Plenty of room for the entire family plus privacy as well. We try to think of what guests would like on hand to feel "at home" and glad we accomplished that with your family.

Great location with many opportunities for excursions. Perfect for our family getaway.

Owner Response

Thanks Colleen for taking the time to write a review. We hope to have you back soon.

So great, clean, easy access to everything. Communication was constant whenever we had a question which made our stay even more enjoyable.

This was our first Airbnb experience and now it will not be our last, thanks to Marilyn and her property. We chose this property based on the pictures, marketing materials, and amenities. We were not disappointed, but rather very impressed that what we saw on Airbnb matched the reality. Should you be looking for properties in the Waynesville area, Marilyn’s home is the winner.

Owner Response

Thank you Ken for taking the time to write such an awesome review. We're glad your first experience went so well. Now you know what to look for when choosing a property. We welcome you back anytime and I can help if you are looking for a place elsewhere as well. Thanks again for choosing to stay at Everview.

Dealing with Marilyn was a good experience from start to finish. The Everview home is beautiful, spacious and has everything a family could need to enjoy their stay. The views are lovely, and the North Carolina countryside is a great change from suburban life. There is so much to do within a 30-minute drive. We made a great choice and I would tell anyone who asked to do the same. Thanks to Marilyn for providing a wonderful weekend for our family.

We enjoyed stay our stay very much.. Everything was spotless and the views gorgeous. We will definitely be back

Owner Response

Thanks again Sandra for choosing to stay with us. It was a pleasure having you there. Please keep us in mind when planning future travel to the area.

Our visit to North Carolina was wonderful, and Everview was a great part of that. We found Everview to be very attractive, clean and comfortable, with a welcome supply of paper goods, basic pantry items, coffee, tea and toiletries. The home has an open layout, perfect for family meals & interaction and is spacious, allowing us to unpack and spread out without crowding. The main living area is inviting and functional, with a well-stocked kitchen (dishes, pots & pans, spices, soaps…), overlooking a nice large dining table that works well for meals as well as games, reading, laptops and general visiting , and a living room with plenty of recliner seating, a large TV, and a fireplace. We especially appreciated that drawers and cabinets were labeled to help us find things, and to help us keep them in order. The outdoors spaces had plenty of rockers for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful views. The outdoor grill was clean (extra propane provided) and a couple of patio tables allow for to an outdoor meal, savoring your morning coffee or your evening glass of wine. We enjoyed all the extras that were furnished, including the movie selection, games and equipment for kids (high chairs, pack & play…). WiFi was good and a lot of local information was provided. Hiking sticks were even available, and garage space for renters to use. The neighborhood was quiet and pretty, and we enjoyed morning sunrises and evening sunsets there.Waynesville, about 20 minutes away, is a charming town, was decorated for autumn and had shops, restaurants and all the services you might need. The drive to and fro could be challenging due to the windy, twisty, hilly roads (and sometimes foggy), but this, too, is part of the beauty of the hills of North Carolina. We enjoyed being within driving distance of many attractions; including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock and the numerous hiking trails with waterfalls and fabulous views on the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. Returning to Everview after a busy day was most rewarding! Water pressure in the home was spotty, but we were able to work around it. Thanks to our host Marilyn, who was available and very responsive to any questions or issues. When returning to this area, we would surely stay here again.

Owner Response

Wow! I'm considering using your review for my property description. You hit on all the major attributes and I thank you for taking the time to detail your stay as well as you have. It was a pleasure having you as our guests and we hope it won't be too long before we hear from you again. Also, it turns out the issue with the water pressure was due to the use of the wrong type of whole house filter so that has already been corrected and won't be a problem again for anyone.

Home interior has a very spacious layout, allowing scenic views and privacy in all bedrooms and well-appointed common areas for group activities. Views from both front porch and back deck are breathtaking! Internet service worked very well. Immaculately clean. Kitchen well-stocked for dining in. The hot tub proved truly relaxing watching the sunset after a day of hiking. My family (of 6 adults ) found Waynesville to be conveniently situated for scenic day trips by car: Asheville (east), Brevard (south), Fontana Dam (west) and Hot Springs (north). Marilyn is a gem to work with!

This house was amazing! This was our first Airbnb experience & we were not disappointed at all! It has all the amenities we needed & Marilyn was very helpful & quick to respond with any questions we had.

I could go on and on about the beauty of this home and the ease of working with Marilyn. Everything was spotless and even better than described. Cozy bedrooms, gorgeous views, plenty of space for 4 couples and two dogs, and great amenities (including a very well-stocked kitchen). Our dogs loved running around the backyard and saying hi to the horses, groundhogs, and rabbits. On top of all that, Marilyn was so accessible, kind, and helpful the whole weekend. Just a delightful stay! We will definitely keep in it mind for family trips in the future.

The house was quite a drive from the main road but it was beautiful, clean and cozy, and had great views from every room. Everything we needed was provided. It was easy to communicate with Marilyn as well and we did not have any major issues. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Owner Response

Thanks for your review Angelica. We love that drive! We've timed it at about 7 minutes, but enjoy the scenic views especially when the horses, alpacas, and cows are out at neighboring farms. We hope to have you back soon and thanks again for taking good care of our home.

The home is even better than advertised, with a fully stocked kitchen (seriously, more kitchen gear than I have at home), comfy beds, awesome hot tub and lovely views. Note that the 10:00 check out is a hard line since housekeeping shows up at 10 (though Marilyn was wonderful with accommodating us wherever we asked).

Owner Response

Thanks Kristine for taking the time to review your stay. So happy we could provide for your cooking needs! I appreciate your understanding of the check-out time. With enough notice, we can sometimes accommodate a later departure. But with back to back rentals, they are on a tight schedule so we have to give them enough time to get our home just as nice for the incoming guests. We appreciate you taking such good care of our place and hope to have you back soon.

My girlfriends and I ( 6 people) stayed at the property for a long weekend. The drive from the main street to the house was very pretty. The views were amazing on both, the front and back of the house. The house was spacious and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had all the basics to make your stay easy. Plenty outside space to enjoy the views and for children to play. We saw several wild bunnies enjoying the grass and playing around. The house has a double garage, which was great to leave the items we did not need inside the house and to park the car when we returned after dark. The neighborhood was very quiet however we did not feel isolated inside the mountains, which was very important to us for obvious reasons. The drive from the house to the grocery store and local restaurants was easy (15 minutes). There was also a gas station as soon as you exit the property road. We also visited the Biltmore in Asheville, 30 minutes drive from the property. The owner was very attentive and answered all our questions promptly. We had a wonderful time at your house. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

This is an excellent and secured place in the North Carolina Mountains at Waynesville near Lake Junaluska, Maggie Valley, Cherokee and Clingmans Dome, with every modern comfort, including internet and satellite tv. This exclusive and well landscaped development is surrounded by Mountains and natural areas. You don't have to bring anything except your clothing and food. If you have any question or need anything, call the phone number and you would get help and advice right away. If you go out the front to watch the Sunrise, you would hear the sound of the flowing mountain river below, clouds hanging on the mountains and cows grazing in the pasture. You could watch the Sunset on the back, all natural areas and the mountains. Excellent food including seafood in Waynesville. We, 3 families went down there and had a very peaceful time. We would like to go there again. Note: Some places in the mountains, you could loose GPS signal, but don't panic, keep going till you get GPS signal.

We absolutely loved our time at this home. Everything was as pictured and the house was immaculate. The town of Waynesville is just 20 minutes away. We regularly go to Asheville for vacations but Waynesville and this house may be our new favorite destination!

Owner Response

Thank you for the great review! Let me know when you're ready to return. We'll be here.

Just as advertised! A quiet setting in the rolling countryside with the mountains in the distance coupled with a home in excellent condition made for a terrific stay in early June '17. The property made us feel right at home and were reluctant to leave. The national park visitor center is about 45 minutes away , the Cataloochie Valley access road into the park is a short drive up I 40 and the Biltmore about 30 minutes or so.

Owner Response

Thank you, David for sharing your experience at Everview. Among the many wonderful features it offers, the countryside setting is so relaxing, but yet a close distance to the various attractions and activities this area of the country has to offer. We're glad you were able to visit some of them and we welcome you back anytime.

This property is beautiful with gorgeous views. The owner was responsive to all questions, I highly recommend staying here. We stayed with our three children (young adults) and my wife's parents. The house is situated on two floors which allowed everyone comfort as well as privacy. While there was an initial issue with the hot tub, the owner responded immediately with a remedy. We were able to enjoy the hot tub throughout our stay and the views, while in it, are spectacular. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils and dishes. Spices were provided for cooking and starter packets where available for the washer and dryer as well as the bathrooms. They even supplied towels for the hot tub! We will definitely stay this property again when returning to the area.

Owner Response

Thank you, Dave, for taking the time to share your experience at Everview with future guests. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and let me know when you're ready to take in those magnificent views again.

All the basic needs were there was us. The only thing extra we had to get were some toilet paper and trash bags. The place is really cozy and feels like home. I would definitely go back when I get the chance!

Very spacious, more than we expected.149.00 a night is a steal on this property. The owner was so helpful with our needs.

Owner Response

Glad you and your family were able to take advantage of the special offer for the remaining 2016 dates. We hope to have you as repeat guests in the near future. Thank you for taking good care of our home.

After over 30 years of visiting the beautiful NC mountains in the fall, we have finally found the perfect place. Everview had everything we wanted. It was so clean and comfortable. Access was easy and parking in the garage was a plus. The views were fantastic everywhere we looked. In the evenings, we fed the horses apples grown locally. Our family and friends agreed that this was the best vacation spot. We will definitely be back next year, and hopefully many years to come. Thank you, Marilyn, for being such a great hostess and allowing us to share your home.

Just got home a few days ago from a week at your beautiful home. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. This home is everything a large family (or 2) could want in a place to stay in Western North Carolina. Between the Apple Tree in the backyard, the 5 horses just behind, fireflies at night for the kids to chase, cows (and I'm pretty sure a black bear) seen far in the distance from the back deck, the home alone is perfect for a getaway. The 8 of us (4 adults, 4 kids) were able to take advantage of everything this home had to offer, including great nights grilling on the back deck before finishing the night with a bottle of wine and some good music sitting on rocking chairs outside staring up at the stars (no light pollution out here!). And convenient to pretty much everything we wanted to do, from seeing the Biltmore mansion, to Pisgah Forest (and the Great Sliding Rock), Cherokee, Maggy Valley, etc. We've never been to North Carolina and this was kind of an "impulse buy" vacation but it was so worth it! We can't wait to come back again soon. Great owner, so accessible, anyone that is thinking of Western North Carolina should spend time at this home (except when we want to stay there again!). Thank you thank you!

Owner Response

Nathaniel - Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are blessed that so many great families have been able to enjoy their stay at our home. It brings us a lot of pleasure and reminds us of when we were kids and spent our vacations catching fireflies and stargazing. We welcome you back anytime.

This was our 2nd year renting Everview & it was exactly as we remembered! The home is very well kept, clean & spacious. Our family hit the "jackpot" when we discovered this home! As we were driving out of the community, the kids asked if we were going back next year?!?!? The answer was "absolutely"! We always enjoy the cows, horses, birds, gophers & rabbits. Very quiet & safe community! Thanks to the owners for letting us stay in their home & enjoy at a great price. Speaking of owners, they are GREAT!

The property at Everview was very nice. The house was clean and comfortable for 4 adults and two young children. The owners have taken steps for a child friendly rental house. A high chair, gate for the steps, and kids books, games, and DVDs are provided in the house. Nice spacious bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Two bedrooms on main floor, walk in level, and two more on the lower basement level. Very large kitchen and family room area with all you need to cook meals there. A nice propane grill, with spare tank, is on the nice deck. The deck is shaded almost all day, but then you can watch the sunset in the evening from a great vantage point. Horses, cows, and rabbits are abundant near the house and surrounding farms. The property is just off a good paved road about 20 minutes outside of Waynesville. Very quiet and nice one street development on a ridge top. This is a very nice property and the owners are very responsive to questions and check in procedures. I would highly consider a return booking to this property for Waynsesville/Maggie Valley area. Gary H.

Thank you, Gary, for your fantastic summary of your experience at Everview. We would say you captured the highlights beautifully. We're happy that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to have you back soon!

We had a marvelous stay at this beautiful home. The setting was exquisite! We had our daughter and grand daughter and our daughter’s in-laws with us. We all hated to leave. My husband is a Pastor in the United Methodist Church and we come up to the Jurisdictional Conference at Lake Junaluska every 4 years. However, since staying at your home, we may make it an annual trip!

Owner Response

We enjoyed having you as our guests and will always welcome you back. I appreciate the suggestions you offered during your stay and have already looked into them.

We reserved Everview for a weekend getaway for 3 couples on motorcycles. The owner sent us pictures of the drive entering to make sure we were o.k. since there was new gravel applied over the paved road ( It's fine by the way). We have rented lots of homes for these weekend trips and NEVER had anyone that was concerned. Stop by the Ingles in town before heading out if you want wine! The home was very clean, well supplied with cooking utensils, wine glasses etc. You can watch the sunrise from the front porch and sunset on the back. The linens are really nice and the beds are very comfortable. I would recommend this home for 3 couples because each has their own private bath.P.S. The owners are super, even called to make sure everything was o.k.

Owner Response

Thank you very much Wayne for taking the time to share your experience at Everview. One of the best features (besides the views, of course) is that while the open concept allows for friends and family to share the space during their stay, there is still privacy with the two master suites and the downstairs with the two bedrooms, full bath, and another living area. We hope to have you back as our guests soon. Safe travels on the bikes!

My husband and I and some of our extended family rented this property for my brother's wedding. We had a great experience and no complaints whatsoever about the property or the homeowner. Marilyn made everything super easy. The home has beautiful views all the way around and is ideally located about 40 minutes from Asheville. We would definitely go back!

Owner Response

Hi Courtney, Thanks for the wonderful review and we're happy you and your family chose Everview for such a special occasion. You are welcome to return anytime and hopefully spend a few more days enjoying the sights.

We were looking for someplace special to kick off our retirement and this was the perfect fit. A great house in a tranquil area with beautiful views.

Owner Response

Thank you, Sherry. We're glad you and your husband were able to enjoy your mountain getaway with us. It was a pleasure meeting you both and congratulations on your retirement!

We spent a wonderful time with children and grandchildren at beautiful Everview. We have vacationed for many years in the mountains and Everview was our favorite. It had easy access, many conveniences and breathtaking views. Our families were there during a cold and windy period and the house was very comfortable. Everview was well furnished, the bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and the kitchen was well stocked. The owners were friendly and readily available if needed. We highly recommend Everview and hope to return.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on your stay. We're happy to have had the chance to meet you since we were in town to some work on our other vacation home in Maggie Valley. The weather was a little rough those first couple of days, but the beauty of the blooming flowers and milder temperatures that followed more than made up for it. You are wonderful guests. We hope to hear back from you again in the near future.

We rented this cabin for the weekend with a group of friends and had a wonderful time touring around the mountains of NC, enjoying the beautiful scenery and great food. This cabin was by far one of the nicest we have stayed in for the price, welcoming and "user friendly"- for example all the light switches were labeled, which was VERY helpful! It was also nice to not have 14 hoops to jump through for check out. The owners seem to genuinely care that their guests are happy. Thank you so much, to Angus and Marilyn, we will definitely rent from you again!

House is beautiful, with wonderful views. Really enjoyed the living areas, decks, & hot tub. All agreed the beds were very comfortable, & the bedrooms cozy. We'll be back!

Owner Response

Thanks, Richard for taking the time to rate our home. We're glad you had a chance to get together with your friends at Everview. We feel strongly that our home is best suited for these types of reunions with the open concept main level and then plenty of privacy where you need it. Hope to have you back again some day.

This is the second time we have stayed at Everclear. It was just as wonderful as the first trip. We are already planning our next trip back!

Owner Response

Hi Pennie, And we were glad to welcome you back! Thanks again for choosing to stay at Everview and for sharing your feedback on your mountain getaway. I'm ready to block the next set of dates for you.

This property was the perfect setting to get together with two other couples and their families for the weekend. Marilyn and her husband had thought of everything we needed and I mean everything - from a highchair to a baby gate to every kitchen utensil one could need! The house was clean and inviting. I really have no complaints but did want to mention two things that are most likely beyond the owner's control but would be worth considering when booking - 1) temperature: the living room area was toasty and perfect but we found the room temperatures (upstairs and downstairs) to be somewhat challenging to adjust. In our case, we had the fireplace going earlier in the day and so, in the evening, with toddlers sleeping in pack-n-plays in closets, etc - we struggled to control the actual bedroom temps. Had we not run the fireplace in the early evening...we might have found the temperature something that we could easily manage. 2) Trash removal on a Sunday. This property requires trash to be removed and taking to an alternative site on your way out of town. If you don't move it, you can be charged a fee. However, all the sites listed are closed on Sunday. We, thankfully, hadn't accumulated too much but it was one more thing to load up into the car at the end of the weekend and have to get creative about where to dump it. Just something to consider if you are staying through a Sunday. All in all, we loved this place! When a place is clean and the owners have pre-thought the details for you, you really can't ask for more...but in this case, you got more anyway with great views and easy access to nature. Book it...you won't regret it!

Owner Response

Thank you for your wonderful review of our home. I understand the issue you mentioned about the room temperature and that is definitely something beyond our control. Since the main living area has a lot of windows and French doors, the sunlight that streams in helps warm that area up. Also, the fireplace is very efficient and once you turn it on, it gets warmer still making the other rooms feel even cooler. The lower levels are always going to be cooler in mountain homes. There is an additional fireplace downstairs that can be used to help keep that area warm in the winter. As far as the trash, I advise all of my guests who are scheduled to check out on Sunday to please make sure to dispose of as much of it as they can by Saturday as the sites are closed. Please see the email I sent with the check-in instructions. It is in the second paragraph. Mountain homes don't have access to regular trash pick-up. Our housekeeper has a very small car which she uses to transport all of her cleaning supplies and tools leaving no room for trash bags. So that is why we ask all of our guests to discard it before checking out. But that is one inconvenience I gladly welcome for the chance to spend time at Everview. I hope these minor details won't preclude you from staying at Everview again. Any season during the year is a wonderful mountain getaway there and hopefully we can add you to our list of happy returning guests!

This is the best vacation house that we have ever stayed in. The rental is maintained to a very high standard. All the finishes from the kitchen to bathroom are just awesome. The bathrooms are so big and high end and fully stocked. The backyard is another winner. The whole gated community has beautiful landscaping and lawnmowing and maintained amazingly. Our kids had wonderful time playing ball and running outside in the vast sloping backyard with a view of horses right next to it. The house also had a big collection of dvds for both adults and kids. My son was thrilled to see his favorite DVDs of elmo and max ruby. The owner of the rental is a very sweet lady and was very helpful and quick to reply to our e-mails. We definitely would love to come back for our next vacation to this same rental.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for the lovely review! You and your family were a pleasure to deal with. We're so happy to know that we were a hit with your son as well. We appreciate you taking such good care of our home. Please let me know when you're ready to return. Any season at Everview makes for a wonderful mountain getaway.

This was our first time renting Everview and we were not disappointed. This house is as advertised. My wife and I have traveled all over western North Carolina over the years, and we have not seen any better views than what can be seen from Everview Drive. The house was immaculately clean and had everything you could need for a few days away. We enjoyed visiting Waynesville and dined at The Tipping Point Tavern, Bogarts and Angelos. All were fantastic restaurants. We attended the Apple Harvest festival in downtown Waynesville on Saturday and had a blast. I would definitely recommend this house to my family and friends, and we are looking forward to a return trip ourselves.

Owner Response

Thank you for taking the time to share with others the wonderful time you had a Everview. I agree that those are some of the best views around, especially during peak leaf season. Let me know when you're ready to return. We would love to have you become a part of our loyal guests.

This was our second time renting Everview. We spent three weeks in this gorgeous house with the most amazing views! You can't help but relax as you get to the top of the road by the gates and enter into the development as you see the view coming into site! We have a 2 year old daughter. This place is GREAT if you have children! Its a safe area, has the pack n play, high chair and lots of places for them to play! Having the downstairs den was perfect for us as a family as we could sleep in upstairs whilst downstairs could be a playroom! The hot tub was IMMACULATELY clean and felt like we were the first people to ever use it! We loved the ability to drive the cars straight into the large oversize garage and then enter the house from the basement. It made those transfers of a sleeping toddler so much easier late at night! This is a home that we are making great memories in! We've already got a booking in for 2016!

Owner Response

Thank you, Iain, for such a lovely review. We love hosting you and your family. And knowing that you are traveling such a great distance with your child and next year children, we want to make sure you have everything you need without having to pack extra items. Also, so glad your parents will also get to enjoy Everview in 2016. We're hoping it's the start of a great family tradition!

I spent the most incredible week in this home with my daughter and my sister. This is heaven. It s a 10 or 15 minute drive from town and 30 minutes from forests and trails, restaurants and all other amenities. The bed was comfy and the home was cozy. Great internet and phone reception.The most peaceful time in I do not remember how long, I found myself mesmerized by the nature that surrounded us, the mountains and the flowers, the horses whose trail through the hills I followed daily, the happy cows that roamed freely on the grassy fields. I ventured to the back of the house where every now and then a bunny rabbit ate grass and the birds sang. The sunrises and the sunsets. I guess all living creatures around were aware of their good fortune. I know I was. Till next time, Marilyn.

Owner Response

Thank you, Ana! What a beautiful way to describe the area that surrounds our home. It seems like you're in a different world when you're there and it gives everyone a chance to forget about the real one for just a bit. We're happy you had an opportunity to relax and recharge. We'll be glad to have you back anytime.

Everview is the best home we have ever rented. Luxury at an affordable price! This home is furnished with everything needed - a home away from home. The views are wonderful. We awoke to the mountains, horses & an occasional "moo" in the morning. What a great way to unwind. It was well maintained & the housekeeper does a wonderful job! I walked on the hardwoods barefoot - nothing on the bottom of my feet...lol! Marilyn was a great home owner, very helpful. Everview will be our "go to" home when visiting the mountains!

Owner Response

Wow! We appreciate your review of our home and agree with everything you wrote. We fell in love with the house and the area when we were looking for a place that we could share with our family and friends for years to come. I believe we found the perfect fit and are happy to allow others to experience it. We are very grateful for our housekeepers who do such a fine job in maintaining it while we are away. So happy to know that a friend who also stayed with you had such a great time that he contacted me the night you checked out to come back in October. Looking forward to having you all as repeat guests.

Our vacation to Waynesville was wonderful. The cabin was absolutely beautiful! We are already planning our next trip back to Everview!

Owner Response

Thank you for taking such great care of our home during your stay. I've already got your dates reserved for December. We appreciate your repeat business and are glad to add you to our list of guests that enjoy our home and everything this beautiful area of the country has to offer so much that they can't wait to return.

We stayed at this wonderful home for five nights with our extended family. The house exceeded our expectations and is true to the description. The view from the terrace was fantastic and the layout was perfect as each family had their own section. The owner was most helpful and efficient and the house was extremely well appointed. Everything you could want was there from kitchen items to rocking chairs on the deck and a wonderful hot tub... The location was perfect for day trips to the Biltmore and Dollywood as well as downtown Waynesville. We had a wonderful trip and would highly recommend this home.

We had a great experience at Everview. The house was comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for the 7 of us. We like that the dining room table could seat all of us, and the main entrance could be accessed without stairs for our aging parents.

Owner Response

Thank you Gary for taking the time to write about our home. One of the best aspects of Everview is the open floor plan and easy access. I appreciate you pointing that out to potential future guests. We hope you plan on visiting the area again and will keep us in mind for your lodging needs.

This was our first time renting a vacation home instead of a hotel room. We were a little apprehensive, but as soon as we arrived we knew we made a great choice. Everview is a beautiful home with breathtaking mountain views. It was very clean and we were amazed at how well equipped it was. Everything you could possibly need was provided. Marilyn (the owner) did such a wonderful job leaving instructions on how to use everything from the tv's (with Directv and Neo TV streaming boxes) to the hot tub. There were plenty of board games, outdoor games and books and movies to keep the whole family busy. We are a family of five with a 3, 8 and 10 year old. They had such an amazing time that they didn't want to leave. We stayed 3 nights, but we could have easily stayed longer. It was so nice to have a baby gate and pack and play crib for our 3 year old. We ate out in a few local restaurants, but eating in was the kids favorite. The kitchen was completely stocked with all of the pots, pans, silverware, dishes, cutting boards, utensils etc... It made cooking just as easy as if we were at home. It was a special treat to sit out on the deck with a bottle of wine and watch the gorgeous sunset behind the mountains followed by a visit from the fireflies. We hope to be able to come back. Until then we have some amazing memories of Everview.

Owner Response

Thank you for your wonderful comments! My family and I try to provide everything we can so that our guests can enjoy their vacation without having to pack or buy items to make their stay complete. You are there to enjoy the mountains and the area's attractions and activities and want to make that as stress-free as possible. You know how to find us when you're ready to return.

This very lovely, comfortable, and extremely clean home is in a great location!! We are Harley riders and the roads and views are breath taking. The approach and driveway were motorcycle friendly. We had a great time and will surely be back!

Owner Response

So glad you enjoyed your time riding through the mountains and relaxing at Everview. Thank you for taking good care of our home. You're welcome back anytime.

The Everview is nicely nestled on a hill top in a gated community. It had everything that a traveler would need and more. For families with kids they got games & a high chair too, for adults there's TV with cable, for those into cooking all the utensils in the kitchen & a grill with 2 propane tanks. They even had zip lock bags for us to pack any left overs for our drive back home. Did I mention the hot tub? It was amazingly clean and was set to right temperature for us to just dive in and forget about everything else. I always used to think, when travelling to any tourist destination, the place where you stay should not matter as long as you have a clean bed, but this place changed my perception and made my trip to Smokies a memorable one.

Owner Response

I'm so glad you found everything you needed and more at our home. My husband and I try to make sure we've provided our guests with the opportunity to enjoy a stress-free stay at Everview. You're welcome back at any time.

We have been renting through VRBO for about 15 years and this is one of the best. The home is immaculate, all the amenities you could imagine and more. The vista's are amazing.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for ranking us up there at the top. I love our home as well and wish I could spend more time gazing at the beautiful mountain views. Let me know when you're ready to come back and take it all in again.

8 members of my family stayed very comfortably in this beautiful home for a 2 day weekend. We where in the Waynesville area to attend a wedding. The home is furnished very nicely with all the amenities you would need to enjoy a good nights sleep as well as for cooking. Plus I believe I counted 4 TV's plenty of games, a beautiful Hot Tub, and it is located in a secluded area with a gate. The views of the mountains all around are gorgeous. Marilyn is very easy to work with and went out of her way to make sure we where cared for. I would certainly recommend this home to anyone visiting the Waynesville/Ashville area. We would stay again.

Owner Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Everview. I know you were pressed for time and didn't get to really relax and spend more days enjoying the area sites and the comfort of our home. You are more than welcome to return. Just let me know when you're ready and I'll be glad to set it up. Hope to see you soon!

We frequently rent via VRBO and I have to say this home was one of the best equipped we have ever rented. The kitchen has everything you may need, the linens are excellent and the house is well furnished. They have a detailed guide that has any and all information you may need. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with excellent views. It's convenient to Waynesville and easy to find from I-40.

Owner Response

Thanks, Josephine, for pointing out some of the highlights at Everview. We strive to make everyone feel welcomed and try to make sure we have anticipated your needs while you're visiting. I understand the snow was a big hit with your kids. But any season is wonderful in that part of the country. Come back anytime!

My wife and I, along with two other couples, had the most amazing time at this property. The pictures of this house speak for themselves, but don't even begin to do it justice. There was more than enough space for the six of us. Each couple had their own bedroom and private bathroom. There were multiple big screen TV's with DirecTV to watch the games. The massive kitchen opens up to the main living area allowing us to cook and visit at the same time. We had everything we needed, including a grill and, of course, a hot tub. Our host, Marilyn, was nothing short of awesome. From the moment we checked in she made herself available via phone for any questions or concerns. But the best part of this place is the location. It's surrounded by sweeping mountain views in every direction while being a short drive to Asheville, Cherokee Casino, and Cataloochee Ski Area. There are also plenty of gorgeous hiking trails at the nearby Smoky Mountain National Park. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and look forward to staying here again!

Owner Response

Wow! Thank you so much for such a great review. I appreciate you taking the time to write it up so that our future guests know what to expect. I can't wait to get back there myself this spring, sit back on those rockers, and take in the views. Let me know when you're ready to experience Everview again. The summer is a great time to visit as well.

As soon as we arrived to Everview we felt right at home with a nice cozy feeling. Everything was very clean and inviting. We found everything we could've needed for cooking and plenty of dishes and plates for our group of 7 adults. Fresh clean sheets and towels were available as well We only wished we could've spent more time as we spent most of one day at Cataloochee Resort which was a beautiful drive there and back and not too far either. The views from both sides of the house were beautiful as well (including the beautiful horses we got to see from the back porch) Lots of sitting area so our whole group got to be together the whole time in the upstairs kitchen/living room/ dining area which we enjoyed most of the time. The owners were great! Marilyn stayed in touch with us the whole time and answered any questions we had. Thank you again for our wonderful stay!

Owner Response

We truly appreciate your review of our home. As I mentioned by phone, you should try to come back in the summer or fall when there are even more activities and attractions to experience. Hopefully, you'll be able to stay a little longer and have some down time in the hot tub or just relaxing on the porch rockers. Hope to hear from you again.

The views were incredible and the house was super cozy. It comes well stocked with everything you could possibly need. One of the neighbors owned horses, so every morning my three year old would wake up run to the porch and start neighing. LOL. My husband and I are adventure seekers so we loved being right on top of this beautiful mountain. We exploded caves and national Parks, Biltmore house (Amazing), and chimney Rock/ Hickory Waterfall (1.6 mile hike round-trip). The driving was a little much with little kids, but manageable. I would recommend renting this house to anyone looking for an adventure or for anyone who just wants to relax and take in the beautiful views. Good Luck and have fun!

Owner Response

Thank you so much for your inspiring review and the tips on where you traveled. I'll have to explore these myself on our next trip. It was a pleasure having you as our guests and let me know when you're ready to return. You are welcome anytime.

We had the absolute best time at the house. Pictures don't do it justice. The views are incredible and the house is spotless. We get at home the moment we walked in. We spent Christmas at the house and enjoyed everything the area had to offer between the mountains, the Biltmore, and Asheville. We hope to return soon with more of our family to enjoy this wonderful getaway.

Owner Response

Thank you so much, Chris. We spent Christmas there a few years ago and have such great memories of our time with family. Glad you enjoyed your stay and of course, you are welcome back anytime. The summers are great here, too!

We were very happy with Everview. The house was everything we expected and the owners were helpful and friendly. We would stay there again anytime we are in the area. We looked at a number of places in the area and felt that the competitors with lower nightly fees had so many additional fees that it ended up being too close in price to be worth compromising what we wanted. Everview had amazingly comfortable beds, the home was roomy, the kitchen allowed us to cook large, family-style meals. It was just like being a welcome guest in a home. There are games, DVD's, books, and amazing views from the patio. I definitely recommend this house.

Owner Response

Thank you for the wonderful review. We're glad to know that our goal to make you feel right at home succeeded. One of the benefits of vacation rentals is the opportunity for our guests to enjoy not only family dinners, but a place that is spacious enough for all to get together and spend their vacation time enjoying activities they normally don't get to do at home. I appreciate you taking good care of our home and we look forward to having you as one of our repeat guests.

Believe every word you read in the reviews! Our party had a delightful time at Everview in the lovely Waynesville area. We attend a conference every year at Lake Junaluska, so we decided to rent a home instead of staying on sight. I'm so glad we did! First, the home is spotless! The housekeeper does such a spectacular job. Every amenity you can think of is available. One gentleman in our group drinks decaf coffee. We found a small coffee maker for that purpose. The large coffee maker served the remainder of our group. We prepared dinner two nights of our stay. The kitchen is very well appointed and we found all we needed. There is a grill on the back porch. The beds are very comfortable with nice linens and pillows. The bathrooms are spacious and very thoughtfully furnished. The view is magnificent from all angles of the house. The gated neighborhood is populated with gorgeous homes. We were very sad to leave and return to normal life! Marilyn is excellent with the communication end of things. She's very attentive to any questions or problems. We've already reserved the home for next year!

Owner Response

Thank you so much for conveying your experience at Everview in such a lovely manner! It's hard to compress all of the amenities and attributes of Everview in the space alloted in a listing site, and I appreciate how you have been able to capture the way it made you feel to stay at our home. Future guests can now read and know the value they will receive as well upon choosing Everview for their mountain vacation. I already have your dates penciled in and will be in touch soon.

My family rented this home for a reunion. It is a beautiful home with great views and a hot tub. The home is EXCEPTIONALLY clean. Other than a few small problems such as sticky screen doors and the air conditioning having a hard time keeping the main living room cool in extreme heat we enjoyed our stay very much. It is in a quiet country setting yet close to the town of Waynesville for restaurants and a visit lovely Lake Junaluska.

Owner Response

Thank you for your feedback of your stay at Everview. Our housekeeper works very hard to keep our home in tip-top shape for our guests. I wanted to provide more detail with regards to the two issues you mentioned. Prior to your arrival, our handyman had gone to our home to take care of a couple of things. One of them was the screen doors as you pointed out. They had to be special ordered, so once they arrive, he will head back to install them. In speaking with your brother on the day of your departure, he mentioned that the air conditioner wasn't cooling too well. We both agreed that it was probably due to the high temperatures during the day. But I contacted our air conditioning repairman anyway. He came out the same day and noticed a very slight leak. It was taken care of and everything is running smoothly now. We strive to maintain Everview in the way our guests would expect immediately upon arrival. However, as with any home, certain routine tasks come up from time to time. But rest assured that they will be addressed immediately and I appreciate it when it is brought to our attention. We hope that you are able to reunite with your family again next year and that Everview is the place you will choose for that occasion.

The place was wonderful with a peaceful setting. Also the furniture and amnesties were the best I've stayed in. Would recommend anyone to stay.

Owner Response

So glad you enjoyed your time at Everview. Please let me know when you're ready for another trip.

Great home for families. Separate areas for sleeping. Nice yard for children in gated community. Well furnished home.

Great place..Some minor suggestions: fireplace did not work properly. Ants in the master bathroom. It was a fun place for families.

Owner Response

I appreciate you taking the time to write a review. However, I wanted to point out a couple of things myself. I spoke to you during your stay and not once did you mention a problem with the fireplace. And I'm very grateful that you pointed out that as you were getting ready to leave on check-out day, you noticed a smell of gas outside. The gas company responded in less than an hour and replaced a part that was leaking. This may have caused the issue with the fireplace and it has been corrected. Also, you failed to advise me of the ants in the bathroom. That too, has since been addressed. On just about every e-mail and correspondence I have with my guests, as well as a Guest Information Sheet at our home, I always mention that I can be contacted if anyone has a question or if guests encounter any issues at all during their stay. Had you let me know of these two instances, you can be assured that they would have been immediately remedied. I hope that other than these two issues, you and your friends enjoyed your time at Everview. I understand now that the yard makes for a great sledding site. Hopefully, we'll get to experience some snow the next time we visit in the winter. Take care and we hope to hear from you again in the future.

We spent 9 days at this home, and we had a wonderful stay. Even though there was snow outside, we were very cozy on the inside. The home is modern with all the comforts that one would need to enjoy time spent in the mountains. Personally, sledding down one of the hills out back was my favorite afternoon. This home is easy to access and just a short distance to activities. There is a garage available for cars that aren't usually driven in winter climates, and we appreciated that comfort. We really couldn't think of any need that wasn't met.

Owner Response

So happy you enjoyed your stay so much that you added a couple of days. I hope I get a chance to sled down the yard when we visit next winter. And thanks for taking such great care of our home.

What a great vacation home! My husband, kids, and grandchildren spent a glorious week here. The spacious kitchen, dining room, and living room - perfect for our clan. The master suite was just that, a "suite." The house was meticulous and had everything one would need. It was gracefully decorated and very comfortable. The downstairs was ideal for the grand kids. We went to Asheville for the day, took in The Grove Park Inn, they had their gingerbread houses on display, then went to The Fun Zone, and then went to the agricultural center for their drive through night light show, it was amazing. We spent one day skiing and sledding. We shopped in quaint downtown Waynesville and had lunch (twice) at our favorite restaurant, The Sweet Onion. The older boys loved skate boarding in the driveway. We enjoyed watching the horses in the back and bunnies at dusk. It snowed 2 days before we left and the kids had a grand time playing in the snow. Although it was very cold, the fireplace was toasty warm!! We will definitely stay here again.

Owner Response

Wow! Sounds like you had the ideal family vacation. It makes us happy when we read reviews like yours. This is what are home is best suited for, extended families spending quality time together while enjoying the many area attractions and sites. And glad you were able to experience the snowfall. Perfect. The Sweet Onion is one of our favorite restaurants, too! They have the best French onion soup. Have never had a bad meal there. Please let us know when you're ready for a repeat getaway to Everview.

We rented this property for 4 nights during the Christmas time. It was a reunion with my sister's family from PA, and two nieces from NYC. Its located in a very nice, quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The owner seems very caring and was available anytime to answer any questions. We arrived at night and the access to the location and house was not a problem at all. The house was sparkling clean, very well decorated and very spacious (loved the closet spaces) to fit in two families with kids. This house has all the necessary items one can think of. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise and scenic view from the windows. We had the best relaxed vacation at this house, wish we had more time to extend our stay further. We all were really sad to leave and planned to come back again to enjoy the house and surroundings more. All attractions, grocery stores are close by, we took the kids for tubing which was only 15-20 min drive in Maggie Valley and kids including adults had a blast. We discovered the best coffee shop (Panacea coffee house) in Waynesville downtown area which was also beautiful to walk around. The walk around Lake Janulushka was wonderful as well. Due to extremely cold weather, could not go out on long hiking trips we planned for. Most of the time we stayed home played games, cooked some of our meals, and grilled food outside. Overall, a lovely place to relax and enjoy family away from the usual touristy commercial places. We have already started making plans for our next vacation at this house and will definitely recommend to our other friends and family.

It was a pleasure speaking with you in regards to the rental. I'm glad you had a chance to spend time with family. Our home is perfect for that kind of get-together. And thank you for the recommendations. We will definitely look into the ping pong table and basketball hoop. Both great ideas. I'm looking forward to visiting Panacea as well the next time we're there. I'm starting to get inquiries for next year already, so let me know when you'd like to return and I'll be glad to set that up. Hope 2014 brings many blessings to you and your family.

Marilyn's place is simply amazing. This was our second stay at one of her properties and she's just amazing. She has this down to a science and thinks of everything. We can't wait to return again! Look no further if availability is on her calendar as you'll have no regrets.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home, it was one of the cleanest homes we have ever stayed in. The king size master bed was so comfortable, I am always concerned whether the mattresses will be good and this one was excellent. My husband and I were there for a romantic getaway but would have been a great house for us to bring our kids and grandchild, there was plenty of room. The only thing I would say is that this is a neighborhood with close neighbors where the picture of the home looks like there is land around the house, this isn't a problem as long as you are aware that this is the case, It was a very quite neighborhood and still had good views.

Owner Response

Glad you enjoyed your stay. And yes, there is plenty of room for extended families. Hopefully, we'll hear from you again in the near future.

We rented this house for four days. It was as good as it gets in terms of price and comfort. Very clean and inviting. Wonderful floor plan. The site does not show that the house is located in a subdivision, that is there are other houses close by. Despite this, the house was quite and a joy to use. Warm, inviting, and exceptionally well maintained. We highly recommend this house. A bit isolated and difficult to find. Perfect for a family or just two. Truly well maintained, clean, and very comfortable. A bargain at the prices quoted.

Our stay at Everview was excellent. We've rented a few houses in the past and this one was definately the best yet. The house is in a great neighborhood surrounded by beautiful mountains and was extremely quiet and peaceful. The owner had all the necessities available to us (including start up paper products) and the house was the cleanest I've seen in a rental home. The area in and around Waynesville was also beautiful and made for wonderful daytrips to areas such as the Blue Ridge Parkway and Smoky Mountains. Without a doubt I would definately stay at Everview again!

Owner Response

Thank you for such a wonderful review. Our housekeeper will be thrilled! We strive to make sure you have everything you need and that you leave with the desire to return again and again. I'm glad we lived up to that standard with you and your family.

Everview is every bit as lovely a home as the photographs. The rooms were spacious, and we had plenty of room to spread out without feeling disconnected. The only surprise was that it is in a neighborhood and although it was serene and quiet, there are homes on either side, across the street, and around the spacious backyard. The owner is extremely responsive to requests and questions. We would definitely stay again.

Owner Response

So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Everview. Most of our guests have appreciated the spaciousness of our home and the opportunity to gaze at our beautiful surroundings. And yes, we are in a quiet, gated community with only 13 other homes, but spread out enough so that you still enjoy that country feel. We would love to host you and your family again in the future.

Our family of six stayed at Everview for a week in August. The house is gorgeous and equiped with everything you need for a lovely stay. The house is situated in a great neighborhood, with plenty of privacy. We loved waking up to the amazing mountain views, and enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony. Our three children had an entire floor to themselves, yet there was plenty of space for us to gather on the main floor. The house was so comfortable we did not want to leave, and we dearly hope to visit again.

Owner Response

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at Everview. One of the best features of our home is the chance for family members to benefit from a vacation together and yet have ample room for separate activities. We hope to accommodate you again in the future.

Our stay in this home was absolutely wonderful. The house was well-appointed and gracious, with comfortable beds and a gorgeous porch and rockers from which we could absorb the peace of the mountains or watch groundhogs grazing in a nearby pasture. They were so cute, they really ought to be added as an attraction on the listing!

Owner Response

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hanging out on the porch rockers is where we love to spend our time, too. Unfortunately, the groundhogs haven't appeared while we've been there, but we keep hearing stories about how they are keeping our guests entertained. You are welcome back anytime.

We rented this home the first of August, 2013 for 4 days. This house was clean, had lots of room for 8 adults and was conveniently located. We travel to North Carolina at least twice a year and we will certainly be coming back to this house. My mom stated it perfectly, "I think we have found the vacation home we have been looking for all these years".

Owner Response

So glad you came across my listing and that now you have the perfect vacation home for your mountain getaways. Looking forward to hearing from you the next time you visit.

I was in charge of a group attending a conference at Luke Junaluska. We found the house to be in an excellent location to commute back to for meals and rest. House was well stocked with kitchen items and linens. Beautiful views. A great stay!

This cabin was one of the nicest and the cleanest one we have ever stayed in. You have plenty of amenities ready for your use. Owner was very helpful. Great view and close to Waynesville. Would recommend to anyone. Wish we could stay longer. Would stayed there again without a doubt. There is no bad thing I could say about this rental. We loved it :) Thanks Marilyn

Owner Response

Thank you so much for your kind words. We always have a hard time leaving the place as well. You are welcome back anytime.

Our daughter, who lived in Asheville, sent us a list of rentals and we picked Everview. Our daughter's wedding was to be held on May 25 and we needed a house to sleep 6-8 people. We could not have made a better choice. Everything was in place just as described in the brochure, and all we had to do was show up. We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers.The full kitchen. laundry, 3 full bathrooms and the open design of the living room, dining room and kitchen was perfect. The house is very spacious and everyone had very comfortable accommodations. We would not hesitate to recommend Everview to any of our friends, and we are hoping to stay there when we celebrate our daughter's first anniversary.

Owner Response

It makes us happy when families unite for such a wonderful occasion as a wedding. I believe we have hosted several families already in town for the same reason. Please do come back for all of her anniversaries!

Arriving after long drives from 3 different states, my relatives and I were delighted to find the Everview home to be even nicer than the photos. It was easily accessible from I-40 and close enough to downtown Waynesville to allow a leisurely and delicious breakfast at Cafe 50 before the family wedding later in the day. The home is beautifully furnished and has all the appliances you need for a lengthy stay. I especially appreciated the magnifying makeup mirror in the master bath! Two levels of living space are great for large families. The garage door openers allow an easy and quiet move for sleeping babies from the car to the lower level bedrooms. Lush greenery, a few grazing cows and beautiful mountain views surround the quiet property. Though our visit was too short, we were able to tour the Biltmore Estate, only an easy 35 minute drive away. If we find ourselves in this beautiful area again, this is the only place we'll stay!

Owner Response

I'm glad you were able to find the right place for you and your family as you gathered for the wedding. My housekeeper was VERY HAPPY to find our home in such great shape after you left. You are welcome back anytime!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our extended weekend getaway. The house was exactly as decribed, with wonderful views from the back deck. It was great way for us to get some much needed relaxation by sitting by the fire and watching the snow fall. We found the downtown area of Waynesville quite enjoyable and were still close enough to enjoy a day trip to Asheville to visit the Biltmore house. There are quite an assortment of scenic drives in the area and we recommend visiting many of the waterfalls in Transylvania county. The owner was very prompt in responding to our request that was less than a week away from when we wanted to visit. This is definitely a place that we look forward to returning to, especially with friends and family. The setup of the home is ideal for family members who may have difficulty climbing stairs on inclines in mountainous areas.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you had a great time in the mountains and I appreciate for the tip on the waterfalls. I haven't had a chance to visit Transylvania County yet. Hope to hear from you again when you're ready to plan your next trip.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving family reunion at this beautiful property. Three families with 5 kids and nothing but room. Everything about this property seemed ready made for our stay - plenty of beds, fireplaces, games, lots of outdoor space, and beautiful views. The kitchen was stocked with almost everything we needed to cook a traditional turkey dinner and plenty of room at the table and bar for everyone to sit. All in all, a great reunion at a fantastic property.

Owner Response

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to spend with the family. We're glad our home provided you with the location and comfort to create a lasting memory. Hope to hear again from you in the future as a returning guest.

Thank you so much for allowing an opportunity to share your wonderful North Carolina mountain home with our family. Our experience there was everything we had hoped for and much more. The drive to the house was enjoyable as the roads were excellent and the views were beautiful. The house was amazingly clean and comfortably with great and relaxing views. On our second and third day, we enjoyed snow, then it was sunny and clear for the rest of the time. The house is perfectly located in a great area and within a short driving distance to Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Ashville and other great locations, We had a great time!!!

Owner Response

So glad you were able to get away with your family and enjoy the peacefulness this area provides. You're welcome back anytime. Bet you weren't expecting snow in October, huh?

Although there were only two of us renting this house, I would recommend this to families for the ample space. We used the 2 bedrooms upstairs but there were two more downstairs. It's nice that there are two separate living rooms so that people can spread out and not feel on top of each other. The place was very clean. On site laundry is a plus. I originally told Marilyn that I was coming out to this area to get an idea of where I wanted to retire in about 12 years. She went out of her way to tell me that she could help me with any information I needed for the local area. The neighborhood is so nice and quiet. The views are spectacular. Now I understand what people mean when they refer to "pastoral views". You get this type of view and you get views of the mountains. The kitchen is stocked for those that wish to make all their own meals. We actually stumbled upon a great Italian restaurant in Waynesville on Main St. called Pasquale's Pizzeria. The food is fantastic! The house is as pictured-no surprises. Marilyn responded promptly by either answering the phone immediately or responding to a voice mail regarding some minor questions. After the sun goes down when it's relatively quiet, when you do hear sounds they echo quite a bit. So I had to laugh when I heard a dog bark in the distance followed immediately by a cow mooing. When you live near a big city, these peaceful sounds are a nice change of pace. Did the Greyline Trolley tour in Asheville and would recommend it. If you like theatre, go to the Flat Rock Playhouse. Saw Zelda and it was right up there with many Broadway shows I've seen. Take a boat ride on Lake Lure. The lake is gorgeous! Afterward, go to the top of Chimney Rock. Talk about spectacular views! Of course the Blue Ridge Parkway never fails to impress me. All in all, my stay was very enjoyable and this is a property I would stay at again in the future. Lots of house and space for the price.

Owner Response

Thank you for your wonderful review of our home. We agree that it is a splendid location with spectacular views all around. Also, thanks for the tip on the restaurant. We'll be sure to check it out on our next visit.

We had a wonderful time at this home, it is absolutely beautiful, It was very clean and comfortable. It is easy to get to and we plan on returning many more times and have already referred a friend. You have a fantastic view from every spot in the house. We did not go out to eat once.....we did go to Maggie Valley and picked up dinner and took it back to the house one night. You can not go wrong staying here. It is better than the pictures, believe it or not....I

Owner Response

Thank you for the referral. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at our home and look forward to having you as our guests again.

We have been to the Waynesville area for a week in October for the past three years. This is the third of three very nice places we have stayed at with two other couples. We all agree that this was the best of the three.

Owner Response

It's #1 in my book, too! Hope to have you as our guests from now on.

Great location.fantastic weather and a home away from home that fit all of our needs.We venture out each year via VRBO and we have always had great picks but this was the first time we both stated that we could live in this area and in this home. The home had all the bells and whistles and the location was easy access to Waynesville,the Blueridge Pkwy,Ashville and the Smokies. We spent a good deal of time on the second deck porch enjoying the views and the clear mountain air minus that Florida humidity.Windows open and no AC! Our two retired Cairn terriers loved the deck! This is a large home and we never did get down stairs to really do anything but it would be great for big families and we certainly would return in a heart beat.Two weeks was to short a time frame and a month would be just right. Just a final note on Dean's restaurant at the Shell station on Rt.209, the breakfast 2x4 will fill anyone up.Great chow and friendly people. Thanks Marilyn for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your home.

Owner Response

We are so happy to hear when guests have taken advantage of everything this area of North Carolina has to offer. We're envious, too as we're looking forward to sitting on that deck and enjoying the peacefulness that surrounds it sometime in the near future. And thanks for the tip on Dean's Restaurant. We'll definitely check it out. Hope to hear from you again soon.

We totally enjoyed our week's stay at this beautiful property. The house was immaculate and had all of the amenities to make a great vacation. There is plenty of room for a large group and places for people to congregate. We would switch from the back deck, to the front porch, to the lower deck and enjoyed them all. The view is fabulous and you don't have to drive up a death-defying road to get there. It was so peaceful and relaxing that we hesitated to go on any excursions. We did enjoy Sliding Rock one day and tubing at Bryson City another, but we couldn't wait to get back "home". We ended up cooking most of our meals as the kitchen had everything we needed. We even grilled out a couple of times. However, there are some great restaurants close by if one does not want to cook. Our dog, Kaylee, loved the property as well. We enjoyed watching the cows and horses off in the distance too! We were very pleased to find such a lovely home that allowed dogs. If you do decide to rent this house, you won't regret it. However, if you have a dog, take care of the place like your own because Kaylee and and the rest of us want to go back soon!

This home is absolutely beautiful and in a fantastic location! We will definitely be returning! It was very clean and comfortable.

My husband, Andy, and I, along with 2 other couples came for an extended weekend April 27-30th. It was absolutely perfect. The neighborhood was pristine, the neighbors were kind, and views were exceptional. I truly would not change a thing. We adored the house and there was plenty of space for all 6 adults and 1 baby, there was even one bedroom to spare. The house was immaculate, with tons of windows to take in the stunning views from both the front and back of the house. We read, grilled, and ate dinner on the large back porch everyday and enjoyed wine and cheese on rocking chairs on the front porch one afternoon. It was such a lovely and comforting stay, even the weather cooperated perfectly for our weekend getaway. The house is close enough to town that it isn't a hassle at all to run to the store and go visit nearby shops and hiking trails, yet it is far enough removed that you can't hear a single sound of traffic or see any signs/buildings from the neighborhood. I simply CANNOT wait to return again a.s.a.p.!

Owner Response

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the time away from work and studying. Our doors are always open to you and your family.

We stayed here with two other couples last year. We found this home to have everything needed for an absolutely wonderfull vacation. It is in the mountains yet close enough to Waynesville to go out for dinner or do some shopping at some of the quaint shops. We especially enjoyed the piece and quiet as well as the view. Nothing better than sitting on the deck early in the morning having a cup of coffee. Going back this June we cannot wait.

Owner Response

So glad you enjoyed your stay last year. Looking forward to having you as our guests for many years to come.

We stayed last summer and it was an idealic place to stay - I look forward to going again. I took some friends who had been going to Waynesville for more than 15 years and they loved it!

What a wonderful getaway! So beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Wish I could have stayed much longer. It was everything I hoped it would be and more! I hope that I will get the opportunity to visit again. The home is beautiful and has everything that you need. I am already thinking about returning next year or sooner!

So glad you were able to get away with your family and enjoy the peacefulness this area provides. You're welcome back anytime. Bet you weren't expecting snow in October, huh?

We had a wonderful time at this home, it is absolutely beautiful, It was very clean and comfortable. It is easy to get to and we plan on returning many more times and have already referred a friend. You have a fantastic view from every spot in the house. We did not go out to eat once.....we did go to Maggie Valley and picked up dinner and took it back to the house one night. You can not go wrong staying here. It is better than the pictures, believe it or not....I

Owner Response

Thank you for the referral. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at our home and look forward to having you as our guests again.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving family reunion at this beautiful property. Three families with 5 kids and nothing but room. Everything about this property seemed ready made for our stay - plenty of beds, fireplaces, games, lots of outdoor space, and beautiful views. The kitchen was stocked with almost everything we needed to cook a traditional turkey dinner and plenty of room at the table and bar for everyone to sit. All in all, a great reunion at a fantastic property.

Owner Response

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to spend with the family. We're glad our home provided you with the location and comfort to create a lasting memory. Hope to hear again from you in the future as a returning guest.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our extended weekend getaway. The house was exactly as decribed, with wonderful views from the back deck. It was great way for us to get some much needed relaxation by sitting by the fire and watching the snow fall. We found the downtown area of Waynesville quite enjoyable and were still close enough to enjoy a day trip to Asheville to visit the Biltmore house. There are quite an assortment of scenic drives in the area and we recommend visiting many of the waterfalls in Transylvania county. The owner was very prompt in responding to our request that was less than a week away from when we wanted to visit. This is definitely a place that we look forward to returning to, especially with friends and family. The setup of the home is ideal for family members who may have difficulty climbing stairs on inclines in mountainous areas.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you had a great time in the mountains and I appreciate for the tip on the waterfalls. I haven't had a chance to visit Transylvania County yet. Hope to hear from you again when you're ready to plan your next trip.

Arriving after long drives from 3 different states, my relatives and I were delighted to find the Everview home to be even nicer than the photos. It was easily accessible from I-40 and close enough to downtown Waynesville to allow a leisurely and delicious breakfast at Cafe 50 before the family wedding later in the day. The home is beautifully furnished and has all the appliances you need for a lengthy stay. I especially appreciated the magnifying makeup mirror in the master bath! Two levels of living space are great for large families. The garage door openers allow an easy and quiet move for sleeping babies from the car to the lower level bedrooms. Lush greenery, a few grazing cows and beautiful mountain views surround the quiet property. Though our visit was too short, we were able to tour the Biltmore Estate, only an easy 35 minute drive away. If we find ourselves in this beautiful area again, this is the only place we'll stay!

Owner Response

I'm glad you were able to find the right place for you and your family as you gathered for the wedding. My housekeeper was VERY HAPPY to find our home in such great shape after you left. You are welcome back anytime!

Our daughter, who lived in Asheville, sent us a list of rentals and we picked Everview. Our daughter's wedding was to be held on May 25 and we needed a house to sleep 6-8 people. We could not have made a better choice. Everything was in place just as described in the brochure, and all we had to do was show up. We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers.The full kitchen. laundry, 3 full bathrooms and the open design of the living room, dining room and kitchen was perfect. There was an ample amount of china, flatware and pots and pans. The house is very tastefully decorated and very well maintained. The neighborhood is in a gated community and the view is spectacular. The house is very spacious and everyone had very comfortable accommodations. We would not hesitate to recommend Everview to any of our friends, and we are hoping to stay there when we celebrate our daughter's first anniversary.

Owner Response

It makes us happy when families unite for such a wonderful occasion as a wedding. I believe we have hosted several families already in town for the same reason. Please do come back for all of her anniversaries!

I was in charge of a group attending a conference at Luke Junaluska. We found the house to be in an excellent location to commute back to for meals and rest. House was well stocked with kitchen items and linens. Beautiful views. A great stay!

Our stay in this home was absolutely wonderful. The house was well-appointed and gracious, with comfortable beds and a gorgeous porch and rockers from which we could absorb the peace of the mountains or watch groundhogs grazing in a nearby pasture. They were so cute, they really ought to be added as an attraction on the listing!

Owner Response

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hanging out on the porch rockers is where we love to spend our time, too. Unfortunately, the groundhogs haven't appeared while we've been there, but we keep hearing stories about how they are keeping our guests entertained. You are welcome back anytime.

We rented this home the first of August, 2013 for 4 days. This house was clean, had lots of room for 8 adults and was conveniently located. We travel to North Carolina at least twice a year and we will certainly be coming back to this house. My mom stated it perfectly, "I think we have found the vacation home we have been looking for all these years".

Owner Response

So glad you came across my listing and that now you have the perfect vacation home for your mountain getaways. Looking forward to hearing from you the next time you visit.

Our family of six stayed at Everview for a week in August. The house is gorgeous and equiped with everything you need for a lovely stay. The house is situated in a great neighborhood, with plenty of privacy. We loved waking up to the amazing mountain views, and enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony. Our three children had an entire floor to themselves, yet there was plenty of space for us to gather on the main floor. The house was so comfortable we did not want to leave, and we dearly hope to visit again.

Owner Response

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at Everview. One of the best features of our home is the chance for family members to benefit from a vacation together and yet have ample room for separate activities. We hope to accommodate you again in the future.

Everview is every bit as lovely a home as the photographs. The rooms were spacious, and we had plenty of room to spread out without feeling disconnected. The only surprise was that it is in a neighborhood and although it was serene and quiet, there are homes on either side, across the street, and around the spacious backyard. The owner is extremely responsive to requests and questions. We would definitely stay again.

Owner Response

So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Everview. Most of our guests have appreciated the spaciousness of our home and the opportunity to gaze at our beautiful surroundings. And yes, we are in a quiet, gated community with only 13 other homes, but spread out enough so that you still enjoy that country feel. We would love to host you and your family again in the future.

Our stay at Everview was excellent. We've rented a few houses in the past and this one was definately the best yet. The house is in a great neighborhood surrounded by beautiful mountains and was extremely quiet and peaceful. The owner had all the necessities available to us (including start up paper products) and the house was the cleanest I've seen in a rental home. The area in and around Waynesville was also beautiful and made for wonderful daytrips to areas such as the Blue Ridge Parkway and Smoky Mountains. Without a doubt I would definately stay at Everview again!

Thank you for such a wonderful review. Our housekeeper will be thrilled! We strive to make sure you have everything you need and that you leave with the desire to return again and again. I'm glad we lived up to that standard with you and your family.

We rented this house for four days. It was as good as it gets in terms of price and comfort. Very clean and inviting. Wonderful floor plan. The site does not show that the house is located in a subdivision, that is there are other houses close by. Despite this, the house was quite and a joy to use. Warm, inviting, and exceptionally well maintained. We highly recommend this house. A bit isolated and difficult to find. Perfect for a family or just two. Truly well maintained, clean, and very comfortable. A bargain at the prices quoted.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home, it was one of the cleanest homes we have ever stayed in. The king size master bed was so comfortable, I am always concerned whether the mattresses will be good and this one was excellent. My husband and I were there for a romantic getaway but would have been a great house for us to bring our kids and grandchild, there was plenty of room. The only thing I would say is that this is a neighborhood with close neighbors where the picture of the home looks like there is land around the house, this isn't a problem as long as you are aware that this is the case, It was a very quite neighborhood and still had good views.

Owner Response

Glad you enjoyed your stay. And yes, there is plenty of room for extended families. Hopefully, we'll hear from you again in the near future.

Marilyn's place is simply amazing. This was our second stay at one of her properties and she's just amazing. She has this down to a science and thinks of everything. We can't wait to return again! Look no further if availability is on her calendar as you'll have no regrets.

We rented this property for 4 nights during the Christmas time. It was a reunion with my sister's family from PA, and two nieces from NYC. Its located in a very nice, quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The owner seems very caring and was available anytime to answer any questions. We arrived at night and the access to the location and house was not a problem at all. The house was sparkling clean, very well decorated and very spacious (loved the closet spaces) to fit in two families with kids. This house has all the necessary items one can think of. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise and scenic view from the windows. We had the best relaxed vacation at this house, wish we had more time to extend our stay further. We all were really sad to leave and planned to come back again to enjoy the house and surroundings more. All attractions, grocery stores are close by, we took the kids for tubing which was only 15-20 min drive in Maggie Valley and kids including adults had a blast. We discovered the best coffee shop (Panacea coffee house) in Waynesville downtown area which was also beautiful to walk around. The walk around Lake Janulushka was wonderful as well. Due to extremely cold weather, could not go out on long hiking trips we planned for. Most of the time we stayed home played games, cooked some of our meals, and grilled food outside. Overall, a lovely place to relax and enjoy family away from the usual touristy commercial places. We have already started making plans for our next vacation at this house and will definitely recommend to our other friends and family.

It was a pleasure speaking with you in regards to the rental. I'm glad you had a chance to spend time with family. Our home is perfect for that kind of get-together. And thank you for the recommendations. We will definitely look into the ping pong table and basketball hoop. Both great ideas. I'm looking forward to visiting Panacea as well the next time we're there. I'm starting to get inquiries for next year already, so let me know when you'd like to return and I'll be glad to set that up. Hope 2014 brings many blessings to you and your family.

What a great vacation home! My husband, kids, and grandchildren spent a glorious week here. The spacious kitchen, dining room, and living room - perfect for our clan. The master suite was just that, a "suite." The house was meticulous and had everything one would need. It was gracefully decorated and very comfortable. The downstairs was ideal for the grand kids. We went to Asheville for the day, took in The Grove Park Inn, they had their gingerbread houses on display, then went to The Fun Zone, and then went to the agricultural center for their drive through night light show, it was amazing. We spent one day skiing and sledding. We shopped in quaint downtown Waynesville and had lunch (twice) at our favorite restaurant, The Sweet Onion. The older boys loved skate boarding in the driveway. We enjoyed watching the horses in the back and bunnies at dusk. It snowed 2 days before we left and the kids had a grand time playing in the snow. Although it was very cold, the fireplace was toasty warm!! We will definitely stay here again.

Owner Response

Wow! Sounds like you had the ideal family vacation. It makes us happy when we read reviews like yours. This is what are home is best suited for, extended families spending quality time together while enjoying the many area attractions and sites. And glad you were able to experience the snowfall. Perfect. The Sweet Onion is one of our favorite restaurants, too! They have the best French onion soup. Have never had a bad meal there. Please let us know when you're ready for a repeat getaway to Everview.

We spent 9 days at this home, and we had a wonderful stay. Even though there was snow outside, we were very cozy on the inside. The home is modern with all the comforts that one would need to enjoy time spent in the mountains. Personally, sledding down one of the hills out back was my favorite afternoon. This home is easy to access and just a short distance to activities. There is a garage available for cars that aren't usually driven in winter climates, and we appreciated that comfort. We really couldn't think of any need that wasn't met.

Owner Response

So happy you enjoyed your stay so much that you added a couple of days. I hope I get a chance to sled down the yard when we visit next winter. And thanks for taking such great care of our home.

Great place..Some minor suggestions: fireplace did not work properly. Ants in the master bathroom. It was a fun place for families.

Owner Response

I appreciate you taking the time to write a review. However, I wanted to point out a couple of things myself. I spoke to you during your stay and not once did you mention a problem with the fireplace. And I'm very grateful that you pointed out that as you were getting ready to leave on check-out day, you noticed a smell of gas outside. The gas company responded in less than an hour and replaced a part that was leaking. This may have caused the issue with the fireplace and it has been corrected. Also, you failed to advise me of the ants in the bathroom. That too, has since been addressed. On just about every e-mail and correspondence I have with my guests, as well as a Guest Information Sheet at our home, I always mention that I can be contacted if anyone has a question or if guests encounter any issues at all during their stay. Had you let me know of these two instances, you can be assured that they would have been immediately remedied. I hope that other than these two issues, you and your friends enjoyed your time at Everview. I understand now that the yard makes for a great sledding site. Hopefully, we'll get to experience some snow the next time we visit in the winter. Take care and we hope to hear from you again in the future.

Great home for families. Separate areas for sleeping. Nice yard for children in gated community. Well furnished home.

The place was wonderful with a peaceful setting. Also the furniture and amnesties were the best I've stayed in. Would recommend anyone to stay.

Owner Response

So glad you enjoyed your time at Everview. Please let me know when you're ready for another trip.

My family rented this home for a reunion. It is a beautiful home with great views and a hot tub. The home is EXCEPTIONALLY clean. Other than a few small problems such as sticky screen doors and the air conditioning having a hard time keeping the main living room cool in extreme heat we enjoyed our stay very much. It is in a quiet country setting yet close to the town of Waynesville for restaurants and a visit lovely Lake Junaluska.

Owner Response

Thank you for your feedback of your stay at Everview. Our housekeeper works very hard to keep our home in tip-top shape for our guests. I wanted to provide more detail with regards to the two issues you mentioned. Prior to your arrival, our handyman had gone to our home to take care of a couple of things. One of them was the screen doors as you pointed out. They had to be special ordered, so once they arrive, he will head back to install them. In speaking with your brother on the day of your departure, he mentioned that the air conditioner wasn't cooling too well. We both agreed that it was probably due to the high temperatures during the day. But I contacted our air conditioning repairman anyway. He came out the same day and noticed a very slight leak. It was taken care of and everything is running smoothly now. We strive to maintain Everview in the way our guests would expect immediately upon arrival. However, as with any home, certain routine tasks come up from time to time. But rest assured that they will be addressed immediately and I appreciate it when it is brought to our attention. We hope that you are able to reunite with your family again next year and that Everview is the place you will choose for that occasion.

Believe every word you read in the reviews! Our party had a delightful time at Everview in the lovely Waynesville area. We attend a conference every year at Lake Junaluska, so we decided to rent a home instead of staying on sight. I'm so glad we did! First, the home is spotless! The housekeeper does such a spectacular job. Every amenity you can think of is available. One gentleman in our group drinks decaf coffee. We found a small coffee maker for that purpose. The large coffee maker served the remainder of our group. We prepared dinner two nights of our stay. The kitchen is very well appointed and we found all we needed. There is a grill on the back porch. The beds are very comfortable with nice linens and pillows. The bathrooms are spacious and very thoughtfully furnished. The view is magnificent from all angles of the house. The gated neighborhood is populated with gorgeous homes. We were very sad to leave and return to normal life! Marilyn is excellent with the communication end of things. She's very attentive to any questions or problems. We've already reserved the home for next year!

Owner Response

Thank you so much for conveying your experience at Everview in such a lovely manner! It's hard to compress all of the amenities and attributes of Everview in the space alloted in a listing site, and I appreciate how you have been able to capture the way it made you feel to stay at our home. Future guests can now read and know the value they will receive as well upon choosing Everview for their mountain vacation. I already have your dates penciled in and will be in touch soon.

We were very happy with Everview. The house was everything we expected and the owners were helpful and friendly. We would stay there again anytime we are in the area. We looked at a number of places in the area and felt that the competitors with lower nightly fees had so many additional fees that it ended up being too close in price to be worth compromising what we wanted. Everview had amazingly comfortable beds, the home was roomy, the kitchen allowed us to cook large, family-style meals. It was just like being a welcome guest in a home. There are games, DVD's, books, and amazing views from the patio. I definitely recommend this house.

Owner Response

Thank you for the wonderful review. We're glad to know that our goal to make you feel right at home succeeded. One of the benefits of vacation rentals is the opportunity for our guests to enjoy not only family dinners, but a place that is spacious enough for all to get together and spend their vacation time enjoying activities they normally don't get to do at home. I appreciate you taking good care of our home and we look forward to having you as one of our repeat guests.

We had the absolute best time at the house. Pictures don't do it justice. The views are incredible and the house is spotless. We get at home the moment we walked in. We spent Christmas at the house and enjoyed everything the area had to offer between the mountains, the Biltmore, and Asheville. We hope to return soon with more of our family to enjoy this wonderful getaway.

Owner Response

Thank you so much, Chris. We spent Christmas there a few years ago and have such great memories of our time with family. Glad you enjoyed your stay and of course, you are welcome back anytime. The summers are great here, too!

The views were incredible and the house was super cozy. It comes well stocked with everything you could possibly need. One of the neighbors owned horses, so every morning my three year old would wake up run to the porch and start neighing. LOL. My husband and I are adventure seekers so we loved being right on top of this beautiful mountain. We exploded caves and national Parks, Biltmore house (Amazing), and chimney Rock/ Hickory Waterfall (1.6 mile hike round-trip). The driving was a little much with little kids, but manageable. I would recommend renting this house to anyone looking for an adventure or for anyone who just wants to relax and take in the beautiful views. Good Luck and have fun!

Owner Response

Thank you so much for your inspiring review and the tips on where you traveled. I'll have to explore these myself on our next trip. It was a pleasure having you as our guests and let me know when you're ready to return. You are welcome anytime.

As soon as we arrived to Everview we felt right at home with a nice cozy feeling. Everything was very clean and inviting. We found everything we could've needed for cooking and plenty of dishes and plates for our group of 7 adults. Fresh clean sheets and towels were available as well We only wished we could've spent more time as we spent most of one day at Cataloochee Resort which was a beautiful drive there and back and not too far either. The views from both sides of the house were beautiful as well (including the beautiful horses we got to see from the back porch) Lots of sitting area so our whole group got to be together the whole time in the upstairs kitchen/living room/ dining area which we enjoyed most of the time. The owners were great! Marilyn stayed in touch with us the whole time and answered any questions we had. Thank you again for our wonderful stay!

Owner Response

We truly appreciate your review of our home. As I mentioned by phone, you should try to come back in the summer or fall when there are even more activities and attractions to experience. Hopefully, you'll be able to stay a little longer and have some down time in the hot tub or just relaxing on the porch rockers. Hope to hear from you again.

My wife and I, along with two other couples, had the most amazing time at this property. The pictures of this house speak for themselves, but don't even begin to do it justice. There was more than enough space for the six of us. Each couple had their own bedroom and private bathroom. There were multiple big screen TV's with DirecTV to watch the games. The massive kitchen opens up to the main living area allowing us to cook and visit at the same time. We had everything we needed, including a grill and, of course, a hot tub. Our host, Marilyn, was nothing short of awesome. From the moment we checked in she made herself available via phone for any questions or concerns. But the best part of this place is the location. It's surrounded by sweeping mountain views in every direction while being a short drive to Asheville, Cherokee Casino, and Cataloochee Ski Area. There are also plenty of gorgeous hiking trails at the nearby Smoky Mountain National Park. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and look forward to staying here again!

Owner Response

Wow! Thank you so much for such a great review. I appreciate you taking the time to write it up so that our future guests know what to expect. I can't wait to get back there myself this spring, sit back on those rockers, and take in the views. Let me know when you're ready to experience Everview again. The summer is a great time to visit as well.

We frequently rent via VRBO and I have to say this home was one of the best equipped we have ever rented. The kitchen has everything you may need, the linens are excellent and the house is well furnished. They have a detailed guide that has any and all information you may need. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with excellent views. It's convenient to Waynesville and easy to find from I-40.

Owner Response

Thanks, Josephine, for pointing out some of the highlights at Everview. We strive to make everyone feel welcomed and try to make sure we have anticipated your needs while you're visiting. I understand the snow was a big hit with your kids. But any season is wonderful in that part of the country. Come back anytime!

8 members of my family stayed very comfortably in this beautiful home for a 2 day weekend. We where in the Waynesville area to attend a wedding. The home is furnished very nicely with all the amenities you would need to enjoy a good nights sleep as well as for cooking. Plus I believe I counted 4 TV's plenty of games, a beautiful Hot Tub, and it is located in a secluded area with a gate. The views of the mountains all around are gorgeous. Marilyn is very easy to work with and went out of her way to make sure we where cared for. I would certainly recommend this home to anyone visiting the Waynesville/Ashville area. We would stay again.

Owner Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Everview. I know you were pressed for time and didn't get to really relax and spend more days enjoying the area sites and the comfort of our home. You are more than welcome to return. Just let me know when you're ready and I'll be glad to set it up. Hope to see you soon!

We have been renting through VRBO for about 15 years and this is one of the best. The home is immaculate, all the amenities you could imagine and more. The vista's are amazing.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for ranking us up there at the top. I love our home as well and wish I could spend more time gazing at the beautiful mountain views. Let me know when you're ready to come back and take it all in again.

The Everview is nicely nestled on a hill top in a gated community. It had everything that a traveler would need and more. For families with kids they got games & a high chair too, for adults there's TV with cable, for those into cooking all the utensils in the kitchen & a grill with 2 propane tanks. They even had zip lock bags for us to pack any left overs for our drive back home. Did I mention the hot tub? It was amazingly clean and was set to right temperature for us to just dive in and forget about everything else. I always used to think, when travelling to any tourist destination, the place where you stay should not matter as long as you have a clean bed, but this place changed my perception and made my trip to Smokies a memorable one.

Owner Response

I'm so glad you found everything you needed and more at our home. My husband and I try to make sure we've provided our guests with the opportunity to enjoy a stress-free stay at Everview. You're welcome back at any time.

We had a great experience at Everview. The house was comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for the 7 of us. We like that the dining room table could seat all of us, and the main entrance could be accessed without stairs for our aging parents.

Owner Response

Thank you Gary for taking the time to write about our home. One of the best aspects of Everview is the open floor plan and easy access. I appreciate you pointing that out to potential future guests. We hope you plan on visiting the area again and will keep us in mind for your lodging needs.

Our vacation to Waynesville was wonderful. The cabin was absolutely beautiful! We are already planning our next trip back to Everview!

Owner Response

Thank you for taking such great care of our home during your stay. I've already got your dates reserved for December. We appreciate your repeat business and are glad to add you to our list of guests that enjoy our home and everything this beautiful area of the country has to offer so much that they can't wait to return.

Everview is the best home we have ever rented. Luxury at an affordable price! This home is furnished with everything needed - a home away from home. The views are wonderful. We awoke to the mountains, horses & an occasional "moo" in the morning. What a great way to unwind. It was well maintained & the housekeeper does a wonderful job! I walked on the hardwoods barefoot - nothing on the bottom of my feet...lol! Marilyn was a great home owner, very helpful. Everview will be our "go to" home when visiting the mountains!

Owner Response

Wow! We appreciate your review of our home and agree with everything you wrote. We fell in love with the house and the area when we were looking for a place that we could share with our family and friends for years to come. I believe we found the perfect fit and are happy to allow others to experience it. We are very grateful for our housekeepers who do such a fine job in maintaining it while we are away. So happy to know that a friend who also stayed with you had such a great time that he contacted me the night you checked out to come back in October. Looking forward to having you all as repeat guests.

This was our second time renting Everview. We spent three weeks in this gorgeous house with the most amazing views! You can't help but relax as you get to the top of the road by the gates and enter into the development as you see the view coming into site! We have a 2 year old daughter. This place is GREAT if you have children! Its a safe area, has the pack n play, high chair and lots of places for them to play! Having the downstairs den was perfect for us as a family as we could sleep in upstairs whilst downstairs could be a playroom! The hot tub was IMMACULATELY clean and felt like we were the first people to ever use it! We loved the ability to drive the cars straight into the large oversize garage and then enter the house from the basement. It made those transfers of a sleeping toddler so much easier late at night! This is a home that we are making great memories in! We've already got a booking in for 2016!

Owner Response

Thank you, Iain, for such a lovely review. We love hosting you and your family. And knowing that you are traveling such a great distance with your child and next year children, we want to make sure you have everything you need without having to pack extra items. Also, so glad your parents will also get to enjoy Everview in 2016. We're hoping it's the start of a great family tradition!

I spent the most incredible week in this home with my daughter and my sister. This is heaven. It s a 10 or 15 minute drive from town and 30 minutes from forests and trails, restaurants and all other amenities. The bed was comfy and the home was cozy. Great internet and phone reception.The most peaceful time in I do not remember how long, I found myself mesmerized by the nature that surrounded us, the mountains and the flowers, the horses whose trail through the hills I followed daily, the happy cows that roamed freely on the grassy fields. I ventured to the back of the house where every now and then a bunny rabbit ate grass and the birds sang. The sunrises and the sunsets. I guess all living creatures around were aware of their good fortune. I know I was. Till next time, Marilyn.

Owner Response

Thank you, Ana! What a beautiful way to describe the area that surrounds our home. It seems like you're in a different world when you're there and it gives everyone a chance to forget about the real one for just a bit. We're happy you had an opportunity to relax and recharge. We'll be glad to have you back anytime.

This was our first time renting Everview and we were not disappointed. This house is as advertised. My wife and I have traveled all over western North Carolina over the years, and we have not seen any better views than what can be seen from Everview Drive. The house was immaculately clean and had everything you could need for a few days away. We enjoyed visiting Waynesville and dined at The Tipping Point Tavern, Bogarts and Angelos. All were fantastic restaurants. We attended the Apple Harvest festival in downtown Waynesville on Saturday and had a blast. I would definitely recommend this house to my family and friends, and we are looking forward to a return trip ourselves.

Owner Response

Thank you for taking the time to share with others the wonderful time you had a Everview. I agree that those are some of the best views around, especially during peak leaf season. Let me know when you're ready to return. We would love to have you become a part of our loyal guests.

This is the best vacation house that we have ever stayed in. The rental is maintained to a very high standard. All the finishes from the kitchen to bathroom are just awesome. The bathrooms are so big and high end and fully stocked. The backyard is another winner. The whole gated community has beautiful landscaping and lawnmowing and maintained amazingly. Our kids had wonderful time playing ball and running outside in the vast sloping backyard with a view of horses right next to it. The house also had a big collection of dvds for both adults and kids. My son was thrilled to see his favorite DVDs of elmo and max ruby. The owner of the rental is a very sweet lady and was very helpful and quick to reply to our e-mails. We definitely would love to come back for our next vacation to this same rental.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for the lovely review! You and your family were a pleasure to deal with. We're so happy to know that we were a hit with your son as well. We appreciate you taking such good care of our home. Please let me know when you're ready to return. Any season at Everview makes for a wonderful mountain getaway.

This property was the perfect setting to get together with two other couples and their families for the weekend. Marilyn and her husband had thought of everything we needed and I mean everything - from a highchair to a baby gate to every kitchen utensil one could need! The house was clean and inviting. I really have no complaints but did want to mention two things that are most likely beyond the owner's control but would be worth considering when booking - 1) temperature: the living room area was toasty and perfect but we found the room temperatures (upstairs and downstairs) to be somewhat challenging to adjust. In our case, we had the fireplace going earlier in the day and so, in the evening, with toddlers sleeping in pack-n-plays in closets, etc - we struggled to control the actual bedroom temps. Had we not run the fireplace in the early evening...we might have found the temperature something that we could easily manage. 2) Trash removal on a Sunday. This property requires trash to be removed and taking to an alternative site on your way out of town. If you don't move it, you can be charged a fee. However, all the sites listed are closed on Sunday. We, thankfully, hadn't accumulated too much but it was one more thing to load up into the car at the end of the weekend and have to get creative about where to dump it. Just something to consider if you are staying through a Sunday. All in all, we loved this place! When a place is clean and the owners have pre-thought the details for you, you really can't ask for more...but in this case, you got more anyway with great views and easy access to nature. Book it...you won't regret it!

Owner Response

Thank you for your wonderful review of our home. I understand the issue you mentioned about the room temperature and that is definitely something beyond our control. Since the main living area has a lot of windows and French doors, the sunlight that streams in helps warm that area up. Also, the fireplace is very efficient and once you turn it on, it gets warmer still making the other rooms feel even cooler. The lower levels are always going to be cooler in mountain homes. There is an additional fireplace downstairs that can be used to help keep that area warm in the winter. As far as the trash, I advise all of my guests who are scheduled to check out on Sunday to please make sure to dispose of as much of it as they can by Saturday as the sites are closed. Please see the email I sent with the check-in instructions. It is in the second paragraph. Mountain homes don't have access to regular trash pick-up. Our housekeeper has a very small car which she uses to transport all of her cleaning supplies and tools leaving no room for trash bags. So that is why we ask all of our guests to discard it before checking out. But that is one inconvenience I gladly welcome for the chance to spend time at Everview. I hope these minor details won't preclude you from staying at Everview again. Any season during the year is a wonderful mountain getaway there and hopefully we can add you to our list of happy returning guests!

This is the second time we have stayed at Everclear. It was just as wonderful as the first trip. We are already planning our next trip back!

Owner Response

Hi Pennie, And we were glad to welcome you back! Thanks again for choosing to stay at Everview and for sharing your feedback on your mountain getaway. I'm ready to block the next set of dates for you.

House is beautiful, with wonderful views. Really enjoyed the living areas, decks, & hot tub. All agreed the beds were very comfortable, & the bedrooms cozy. We'll be back!

Owner Response

Thanks, Richard for taking the time to rate our home. We're glad you had a chance to get together with your friends at Everview. We feel strongly that our home is best suited for these types of reunions with the open concept main level and then plenty of privacy where you need it. Hope to have you back again some day.

We spent a wonderful time with children and grandchildren at beautiful Everview. We have vacationed for many years in the mountains and Everview was our favorite. It had easy access, many conveniences and breathtaking views. Our families were there during a cold and windy period and the house was very comfortable. Everview was well furnished, the bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and the kitchen was well stocked. The owners were friendly and readily available if needed. We highly recommend Everview and hope to return.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on your stay. We're happy to have had the chance to meet you since we were in town to some work on our other vacation home in Maggie Valley. The weather was a little rough those first couple of days, but the beauty of the blooming flowers and milder temperatures that followed more than made up for it. You are wonderful guests. We hope to hear back from you again in the near future.

We were looking for someplace special to kick off our retirement and this was the perfect fit. A great house in a tranquil area with beautiful views.

Owner Response

Thank you, Sherry. We're glad you and your husband were able to enjoy your mountain getaway with us. It was a pleasure meeting you both and congratulations on your retirement!

My husband and I and some of our extended family rented this property for my brother's wedding. We had a great experience and no complaints whatsoever about the property or the homeowner. Marilyn made everything super easy. The home has beautiful views all the way around and is ideally located about 40 minutes from Asheville. We would definitely go back!

Owner Response

Hi Courtney, Thanks for the wonderful review and we're happy you and your family chose Everview for such a special occasion. You are welcome to return anytime and hopefully spend a few more days enjoying the sights.

We had a marvelous stay at this beautiful home. The setting was exquisite! We had our daughter and grand daughter and our daughter’s in-laws with us. We all hated to leave. My husband is a Pastor in the United Methodist Church and we come up to the Jurisdictional Conference at Lake Junaluska every 4 years. However, since staying at your home, we may make it an annual trip!

Owner Response

We enjoyed having you as our guests and will always welcome you back. I appreciate the suggestions you offered during your stay and have already looked into them.

The property at Everview was very nice. The house was clean and comfortable for 4 adults and two young children. The owners have taken steps for a child friendly rental house. A high chair, gate for the steps, and kids books, games, and DVDs are provided in the house. Nice spacious bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Two bedrooms on main floor, walk in level, and two more on the lower basement level. Very large kitchen and family room area with all you need to cook meals there. A nice propane grill, with spare tank, is on the nice deck. The deck is shaded almost all day, but then you can watch the sunset in the evening from a great vantage point. Horses, cows, and rabbits are abundant near the house and surrounding farms. The property is just off a good paved road about 20 minutes outside of Waynesville. Very quiet and nice one street development on a ridge top. This is a very nice property and the owners are very responsive to questions and check in procedures. I would highly consider a return booking to this property for Waynsesville/Maggie Valley area. Gary H.

Owner Response

Thank you, Gary, for your fantastic summary of your experience at Everview. We would say you captured the highlights beautifully. We're happy that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to have you back soon!

Just got home a few days ago from a week at your beautiful home. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. This home is everything a large family (or 2) could want in a place to stay in Western North Carolina. Between the Apple Tree in the backyard, the 5 horses just behind, fireflies at night for the kids to chase, cows (and I'm pretty sure a black bear) seen far in the distance from the back deck, the home alone is perfect for a getaway. The 8 of us (4 adults, 4 kids) were able to take advantage of everything this home had to offer, including great nights grilling on the back deck before finishing the night with a bottle of wine and some good music sitting on rocking chairs outside staring up at the stars (no light pollution out here!). And convenient to pretty much everything we wanted to do, from seeing the Biltmore mansion, to Pisgah Forest (and the Great Sliding Rock), Cherokee, Maggy Valley, etc. We've never been to North Carolina and this was kind of an "impulse buy" vacation but it was so worth it! We can't wait to come back again soon. Great owner, so accessible, anyone that is thinking of Western North Carolina should spend time at this home (except when we want to stay there again!). Thank you thank you!

Owner Response

Nathaniel - Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are blessed that so many great families have been able to enjoy their stay at our home. It brings us a lot of pleasure and reminds us of when we were kids and spent our vacations catching fireflies and stargazing. We welcome you back anytime.

Very spacious, more than we expected.149.00 a night is a steal on this property. The owner was so helpful with our needs.

Owner Response

Glad you and your family were able to take advantage of the special offer for the remaining 2016 dates. We hope to have you as repeat guests in the near future. Thank you for taking good care of our home.

All the basic needs were there was us. The only thing extra we had to get were some toilet paper and trash bags. The place is really cozy and feels like home. I would definitely go back when I get the chance!

This property is beautiful with gorgeous views. The owner was responsive to all questions, I highly recommend staying here. We stayed with our three children (young adults) and my wife's parents. The house is situated on two floors which allowed everyone comfort as well as privacy. While there was an initial issue with the hot tub, the owner responded immediately with a remedy. We were able to enjoy the hot tub throughout our stay and the views, while in it, are spectacular. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils and dishes. Spices were provided for cooking and starter packets where available for the washer and dryer as well as the bathrooms. They even supplied towels for the hot tub! We will definitely stay this property again when returning to the area.

Owner Response

Thank you, Dave, for taking the time to share your experience at Everview with future guests. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and let me know when you're ready to take in those magnificent views again.

Just as advertised! A quiet setting in the rolling countryside with the mountains in the distance coupled with a home in excellent condition made for a terrific stay in early June '17. The property made us feel right at home and were reluctant to leave. The national park visitor center is about 45 minutes away , the Cataloochie Valley access road into the park is a short drive up I 40 and the Biltmore about 30 minutes or so.

Owner Response

Thank you, David for sharing your experience at Everview. Among the many wonderful features it offers, the countryside setting is so relaxing, but yet a close distance to the various attractions and activities this area of the country has to offer. We're glad you were able to visit some of them and we welcome you back anytime.

We absolutely loved our time at this home. Everything was as pictured and the house was immaculate. The town of Waynesville is just 20 minutes away. We regularly go to Asheville for vacations but Waynesville and this house may be our new favorite destination!

Owner Response

Thank you for the great review! Let me know when you're ready to return. We'll be here.

We were thrilled when we pulled up to the front done of this home. It is a beautiful home BUT there were somethings I was so disappointed with. When we tried to go out on the deck the frenchdoors are DIFFICULT TO OPEN. . . . couldn't get one open at all. Both screen doors on the deck were totally off the tracks and you couldn't use them. Also this is a home for 8 people. There were hardly any towels and wash cloths. If we hadn't taken some with us we would have had to go out and buy some. Ridiculous. I was so disappointed. BUT the one thing that bothered me the most was when I read the checkout instructions it said it would be a great help to the clean up person if we removed the sheets off the beds we used AS THIS WOULD ENSURE CLEAN BEDS FOR THE NEXT GUESTS! I read that the first day and I worried that the person before us did not remove the sheets and the cleanup person did not clean them. It really upset my senior citizens ladies when I read that PLUS we paid $120 for cleaning fee. We pulled the sheets and towels we used and put them in the laundry room so that the next guests would be sure to have clean beds. It is a beautiful home but the doors need to be repaired and towels and wash cloths need to be replenished. There were not dish towels or dishrags at all.

Owner Response

Dear Teresa, I’m sorry that we did not live up to your expectations during your stay. We provide all guests with several means of contact including a sign on the refrigerator should any issue arise. Unfortunately, you decided not to reach out to me or these concerns could have been mitigated and misconceptions avoided. Regarding the French doors/screens, we are now searching for a fourth company to make the necessary repairs to the screens. Prior guests have walked right into them and bent the tracks. The first three companies have failed to keep appointments or provide me with an estimate. I was not aware that the doors were difficult to open until now, but will have those looked at as well. Thank you for pointing that out and we will make sure to advise all future guests prior to check-in until repairs are made. We keep an inventory of all items and make replacements as needed for all supplies. Our current count is 16 bath towels, 8 hand towels, and 8 washcloths. Plus, if you use the hot tub, there are additional towels available in the box right next to it. Your reservation was for a 3-night stay with seven guests and that quantity has proven to be more than adequate for my prior rentals. We also have a drawerful of dishtowels and dishrags for your use. Perhaps you didn’t search all the drawers as they are kept in one located in the kitchen island. Again, a quick phone call or text would have allowed me to direct you to it. The one thing I would like to stress more than anything is that cleanliness is our utmost priority and our housekeeping team does a tremendous job in ensuring that it meets our standards. You can be absolutely assured that all bed linens are washed after each rental. The reason we asked to start one load of towels or sheets is that since most of our rentals are back to back, waiting on the washer/dryer to finish their cycles caused delays for the arriving guests. The checkout details state that it is to “ensure that the house is ready for the next guests,” NOT to ensure clean beds as you have erroneously pointed out. Our new washer/dryer set runs more efficiently. It was our error and I apologize for not updating the checkout instructions to remove the request to start the first load. Our home is beautiful and we have been happy to offer it to many satisfied guests in the past few years. We’re sorry we didn’t please you 100%, but hopefully you’ll give us another chance soon to make it up to you.

We had a wonderful stay at Everview. The group that stayed varied from two people and one dog to six people and two dogs. The house is plenty large enough and with two master BR on the main floor and two BR downstairs, there is plenty of privacy as well. Communication with Marilyn was excellent and she was very accommodating. Would highly recommend this vacation home.

Owner Response

Thank you, Linda, for your wonderful review. We're so happy your trip went well and that you got to spend some time with family and friends. The two master bedrooms set us apart from many other similar homes and it offers privacy for travelers yet the open concept main floor is great for getting together. We hope to hear from you soon as you are welcome back anytime.

7 of us enjoyed a girls weekend at Everview. The cabin is very nice with plenty of room. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the large balcony. it's a little more of a drive to Ashville than I thought but still worth it. Will stay here again if we are coming to this area.

Owner Response

Hi Lisa, Glad you enjoyed your stay at Everview. One of the great features of our home for guests who want to get out and explore the area is that even though you are in a rural setting, it is just a few minutes away to I-40 with easy access to Asheville and many other exciting locations. We hope you will be able to come back soon and take in more of what Everview has to offer.

Views from the balcony were amazing. The home was spotless. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Great hot tub!

Owner Response

Thank you Matthew! You were great as well and we hope to have you back soon. Contact me directly and I'll be able to make a special offer as a repeat guest.

Our family shared a wonderful Thanksgiving in this great home!! Spacious and wonderful views..loved the kitchen..has EVERYTHING you needed to cook with. All modern appliances in kitchen and laundry room. Although other family members had cabins in other locations, this was our gathering place! Would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it for your family getaway! THANK you to the Butlers for sharing this beautiful home! The Rowlands

Owner Response

We're so happy you and your extended family were able to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday at Everview. It was our pleasure to share it with you. Come back anytime to make more wonderful memories during your mountain getaway!

Home was lovely and had everything you could possibly need. The owner was in constant contact to make sure we were settled and didn’t need anything. Very spacious. Would definitely stay again.

Owner Response

Thank you, Becky for taking the time to review our home. You were wonderful guests. I hope your daughter enjoyed her introduction to skiing. Hope to have you back again soon.

The house was a great greataway for three couples! Plenty of space - well furnished. Convenient to Waynesville. Marilyn was awesome to work with!

My girlfriends and I ( 6 people) stayed at the property for a long weekend. The drive from the main street to the house was very pretty. The views were amazing on both, the front and back of the house. The house was spacious and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had all the basics to make your stay easy. Plenty outside space to enjoy the views and for children to play. We saw several wild bunnies enjoying the grass and playing around. The house has a double garage, which was great to leave the items we did not need inside the house and to park the car when we returned after dark. The neighborhood was very quiet however we did not feel isolated inside the mountains, which was very important to us for obvious reasons. The drive from the house to the grocery store and local restaurants was easy (15 minutes). There was also a gas station as soon as you exit the property road. We also visited the Biltmore in Asheville, 30 minutes drive from the property. The owner was very attentive and answered all our questions promptly. We had a wonderful time at your house. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

The home is immaculate and the views are so beautiful. Marilyn the owner is super responsive and accessible. We will look forward to returning.

We had an amazing time with our two families! Plenty of space, amenities and storage for our stuff.

Owner Response

Thanks, Angela! Glad you enjoyed it. Come back anytime.

Every amenity was thought of and the house lay out is great for a group ....we had 7 people. And 3 generations + we got to bring our four legged family too !!!

Owner Response

So glad you and your family got to spend some time together at Everview. You were wonderful guests and we hope to have you back soon.

Unbelievable view and pracefulness

We rented this property for a wedding, and it was perfect! Owner had great communication and the house was very comfortable! Beware leaving on a Sunday because none of the trash places are open. We didn’t have a lot so it wasn’t a problem but could be for others!

Owner Response

Thank you for sharing your experience at Everview. We hope future guests will understand that the benefits of staying in our beautiful mountain home with so many amenities far outweighs the minor inconvenience of having to take their bags to the nearby trash site. Garbage trucks are not able to navigate the mountain roads, therefore it is something all residents and visitors alike must deal with. Our cleaning crew can have someone pick it up for a small fee if guests do not dispose of it before check-out. Hopefully, you'll be able to spend more time on your next visit and maybe get to use the hot tub!

The house and property were lovely and well-maintained and stocked with everything needed for a stress-free getaway, even down to baby gates and high chairs should you have little ones! Easy to find; just off I-40. Close to Waynesville, which is one of NC best-kept secrets. Marilyn was great and very responsive to every text and email. I highly recommend Everview.

Owner Response

Thanks, Patricia! We're so glad you got good use of the gates and high chairs as we try to make it easier for parents with tots. I agree about Waynesville. It's such a quaint town. We have never had a bad meal anywhere and enjoy their wonderful shops. We hope to have you back soon!

Everything there was great. Everything they said it was, it was.

Owner Response

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to have you back soon.

Our family and friends had a great experience staying in this spotless well appointed home. I cannot stress enough how clean this home was. The kitchen had everything. Marilyn, the owner was super attentive with any questions we had. The back yard was great for running around, throwing the football and chasing fire flies. The bunnies running wild were a thrill for the kids. Loved it!

Owner Response

Thank you, Andrew. We're so happy you enjoyed your stay at Everview and I'll be sure to pass on your praise regarding the cleanliness to our hardworking crew. Chasing fireflies is one of my favorite childhood memories. You're welcome back anytime!

The home was very clean and accommodating, great communication from the owners. The landscaping was immaculate and beautiful for the property and along the entire approach road.

Owner Response

Dear Jason - Thank you so much for your review and spending a part of your summer enjoying Everview! You were wonderful guests and we hope to hear from you again soon.

The property was very clean and well equipped. Our family had a wonderful time. The owner was so easy to work with and we would highly recommend this place. Even my grown kids were commenting on how soft the sheets and the beds were. Everything was perfect! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family.

Owner Response

Thanks, Joanne for taking the time to share your experience at Everview. I love those sheets too! We have them at our home as well. They are from Jennifer Adams and are the softest I've ever slept on. You can buy them through her website and Costco usually features them at their stores. Hope to have you back soon for another mountain getaway.

Very nice, clean property, the house was very spacious, beds very comfortable, couches comfy. Nice scenic views. Very easy to get too, once you know where you’re going! Owners were very pleasant to work with. Also very responsive to any needs/questions we had! Thank you so much Marilyn!

Owner Response

Thanks, Tabitha for taking the time to write your wonderful review of Everview. We hope to have you back soon. Have a great 2019!

Very spacious home. Master bedroom with walk-in closet & huge bathroom. Another bedroom, bathroom, & laundry room on main floor each with their own door and then a pocket door from those rooms to the kitchen so it could be considered another master suite. Open living area, kitchen, dining area on main floor and a walk out deck. Basement has 2 bedroom (1 queen bed & with 2 twin beds), bathroom , and another living area in the basement with walk out deck. Oversized 2 stall garage. Paved walking throughout the properties with a windy road to Waynesville. Close to grocery store and convenience stores. No need to bring any amenities. They are all supplied. Shampoo & conditioner are hotel sized, but one in each bathroom.

Owner Response

Thanks, Tammy for your wonderful review. We enjoyed having you stay at Everview and that you were able to take advantage of all that our home and the area has to offer. We hope to have you back soon!

This home is in a fabulous neighborhood. The are ia quiet with astonishing mountain views. The home was immaculate and had everything one could ask for. Our only regret is we could not stay longer!
