"Nora was a great host, extremely helpful during my stay and easy to get a hold of. The house was immediately clean and comfortable. Plenty of space for friends and big enough to feel private when I needed some alone time. The hot tub and fire pit areas were even better given the amazing views. Highly recommend to other guests as this property is well worth it."

"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!"

"We had a great time as a family relaxing in the comfort of the house, playing games, using the hot tub, and taking in the amazing views. It was a peaceful and wonderful stay. Upon arrival, two things weren’t functioning properly but Nora responded promptly to fix the issues. The communication was excellent. We highly recommend staying here and would love to come back again!"

Axel
"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!!!"

"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."
