  : The room is big, bigger than your typical hotel room. Bedroom is large, Bathroom is large with a tub that could hold 4 people standing up. It does have a high step over, if you have mobility issues in your legs it may be an issue. There is a full size kitchen that has a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, not those tiny fridges with a small microwave. The kitchen is large so preparing meals is easy, difficult when the kitchen is small.
  : The not so good is that I was in building 11 which is at the bottom of a hill. My car is rear wheel drive and got stuck because a car was coming down while I was going up and the road was only plowed wide enough for 1.5 cars. When I pulled over to the side to let the other car go by the wheels were no longer on pavement but in deep snow. I was lucky to have other tenants outside at the time and they were able to give me a push back down the hill until my wheels were back on pavement. There is also a short roadway to the building which was also plowed only wide enough for 1.5 cars where I needed to backup to let another car pass. Another time a truck pulled over to let me by but they had 4-wheel drive or AWD so getting their wheels in deep snow was not an issue.Parking spots were also icy, trying to get into one and my car slid sideways because the lot is not flat, almost slid into another car, ended up parking at the top of the hill, the road uphill would have been too icy in the morning. Since building 11 is the last building at the bottom of the hill you now need to drag everything up and down from your car and back. Not ideal. Both the road and parking spots to building 11 need to be salted down. I would verify with reservations that you will not be in this building unless you get assurances that the road and parking spots have good snow removal and will be salted down or they will move you into a building with a flat lot if the conditions are too icy for your vehicle.

  : See above.

Pleasant
Traveller Type: family with young children
  : Location and easy check in and out
  : I could only obtain one cup of coffee from the commen area coffee machine during my stay. Each day there was a issue with coffee. Very frustrating when this is the only gratuity item you receive from this resort and the staff is aware of the machine issues. The shower curtain in my unit was not long enough to keep water in when in use.

Poor
Traveller Type: young couple
  : It is in a great location near Grandfather Mountain, Linville Viaduct, and Blue Ridge Parkway.
  : The room, bed, carpet and furniture were all very worn and not comfortable. The shower soap had fallen off the wall and there was dirt on the shower floor. Just overall shabby. Even the newer Putt Putt course was built cheap and carpet is falling off.
