Blue Ridge Zen
It's not communicated well in the listing nor do the agents mention it-the property does not have air conditioning installed in the home, it only has heat. The open windows don't deter the landscaping company from doing their thing at 8:00 a.m. so beware if you like sleeping in. If we had not called the agent when materials were delivered by the landscaping company we would have been able to watch them install the firepit during our stay. The internet access is not wireless, be sure to bring a cable. During our stay there was a terrible problem with the water pressure-we couldn't brush our teeth if the washing machine was running, rinse a dish if someone flushed, etc. Also, the property is for sale-with two key boxes on the home, one for the rental company and one for the listing agent-very confusing on arrival, unnerving for security of self and property.
