Staycation
Located in the mountains of Marion NC quiet little area. We enjoyed some downtime and the BigFoot festival this past weekend. Everyone in the area is so nice. The house was clean and well updated. Check in and check out was a breeze and the hosts communicated well with us. Will definitely stay there again if or when we go back to the same area.

Weekend getaway
Nice property. Good amenities. Large kitchen and bedrooms. Smart TV was nice as we could use our subscriptions. Driveway was a little steep and tight but that's to be expected in this part of NC. Overall we had a great experience just wished we could have stayed longer.

Clean, as listed, and great location near to the North Cover Social Club where this year's Disc Golf National Championships were held, which is why we were in town.

Mountain Getaway
We enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable home. We went hiking, tubing, and shopping in several small towns. Communication with owner was excellent! Only suggestion is curtains in family room and in upstairs bedroom. We would definitely rent here again.

Blue Ridge Getaway
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Breakaway Bungalow! We were visiting friends in the area for five days and it was in the perfect location. There were so many things to see and do in the area. The home was neat and clean, was nicely decorated, and was well equipped with everything we needed. Even though access to the home was up a steep, gravel driveway, it was easy to get to the house and we appreciated the solitude while still being close to the main road. We would definitely stay at this property again!
