"We had a fantastic time and would definitely come back. The house & setting are even more beautiful in person. You are arrive to a clean and beautiful home that is equipped with everything you could need and a very generous gift basket. The host had continuous contact with us in the days leading up to our arrival with clear & easy instructions and with plenty of local recommendations for us as well. Your booking gets you a gorgeous house with so many upgrades & is beautifully decorated. You get plenty of space, plenty of towels, blankets, games and toiletries for your stay. There are plenty of spaces for adults and children to enjoy. The host was the most attentive and responsive I have ever seen. Everyday you get to enjoy this perfect property with amazing views, privacy and serenity. You won’t be disappointed."

"We had an AMAZING luxury vacation experience! GIOIA Lodge is a dream house. Beautiful views, comfortable beds, extra towels, fully equipped kitchen for all your needs. The house has many great areas for friends and family to gather. Also, many areas for alone time. This location has many things to do near by (restaurants, hiking trails, horseback riding, Biltmore estate, etc..) Nora is a great host! She is easy to communicate with and gave us great suggestions on what to do nearby. Looking forward to staying at GIOIA Lodge again."

"What a great host and home! Situated in the hills of Clyde, the balcony of the lodge overlooks a valley with beautiful forestry and far off pastures to view with your morning coffee or a nightcap before tucking into one of the comfortable lodge rooms! Aside from the great sleeping quarters our family most enjoying the HUGE centralized kitchen, dining, and living area where we congregated for plenty of cooking, eating, games, and relaxation all while making lasting memories with more than plenty of space for the entire family to sprawl out! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy your home away from our home!"

"Absolutely incredible property and host. Everything was immaculate, from the moment we walked in. Great furniture, confy beds, lots of amenities, all the pots, pans, plate ware, serving dishes and cooking utensils you could ever need. The pool table, tennis table and hot tub are huge bonuses. The jacuzzi tub in the master is great. One touch automatic privacy shades for the entire house is amazing too. Oh, and the VIEW!! Waking up each morning to such an incredible view and setting made for mornings full of gratitude to be staying at such an amazing property. You won’t regret choosing this property if you’re looking for a perfect Appalachian mountain getaway."

The view was breathtaking and the covered porch was the perfect place for morning coffee and light hearted conversations! The house laid out perfectly and accommodated our group of 11 easily. Nora was responsive to any questions during our time here. I would definitely recommend this space for large family/friend gatherings looking for a peaceful getaway!"

Will

"Absolutely gorgeous house! We could not have picked a better home to house our family. We were staying in NC for my elopement and everything went perfectly. The entire bridal party and family was in awe at this house. It's magnificent and the most luxurious home we've ever stayed in. We created the best memories there which will last us a lifetime. The host was very accommodating and equally responsive. We are very thankful for their hospitality and understanding."

Ruby

"We cannot say enough good things about the property. Nora, our host, was on top communications. Check-in was a breeze. The property was first-rate. The accommodations and baths allowed our guests both room and privacy, while still having a large gathering place for meals and socializing. We had our extended family stay there and used the property for a family reunion. Great place to entertain, giant living area and kitchen and a basement retreat for games and sports or movie watching. Tremendous amount of deck space. Thanks so much. They even went the extra mile and did a trash pick up part way through our stay. First class place, first class service."

Bob

"I cant say enough about how absolutely beautiful this house was!! The views were all spectacular.. morning, noon and night!! There was enough room inside for all 15 of us (9 adults and 6 kids) to be both active and relaxed. We made use of the huge outdoor cement pad area; we played basketball, cornhole, water gun games, and scooters. We ate meals together both at the large table inside and the one outside on the covered deck. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it for a family getaway!!"

Sharon

"We rented the cabin for a long weekend to celebrate my 40th birthday for 9 of us. The place was clean and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need! It rained the whole time but we had the outdoor fireplace that was covered where we spent every evening. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come back."

Dustin

"If I could give the property 10 stars, I would. The home was perfectly described in the listing, but even more beautiful in person. My family of 14 were able to stay here and have everything we wanted/needed and had PLENTY of space to spread out. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were stocked with towels and necessities, the kitchen had all of the utensils and pots/pans we needed, and the grill was ready to go. Nora was an excellent host, providing great communication all along the way. We will DEFINITELY be looking to book this home again!"

Jonathan

"What's Not To Love?! Our extended family of 13 stayed here for a mini-family reunion with ages ranging from 23-90. The property was AMAZING...with stunning mountain views from the wrap-around porch. There were plenty of bedroom & bathroom configurations to accommodate our group. We took full advantage of all the amenities, playing pool, cards around the dining table, dominoes, giant connect 4 & bags. The home is gorgeous and has everything you need plus some. Nora was extremely responsive and gave some great recommendations. It was about a 40 min. drive to Asheville, but the views were worth it. We will be back!!!"

Cindy

"Amazing mountain getaway The house looked beautiful online and it was even better in person. Everything that we seemingly needed/wanted was available on property. So much room throughout the house and it was very modern and up-to-date. We would definitely book again. The communication with the owner was fantastic."
