The backyard on the creek is beautiful. Walking distance to hiking trail. Short drive to downtown Banner Elk and ski resorts. Highly recommend Peddling Pig barbecue restaurant.

   The cabin was awesome. Kitchen was perfectly stocked just like we were at home. The family was concerned that there was no a/c but was surprised when we did not need it. The centralized location was great. We went to Tweetsie RR, Linville Caverns, and Grandfather Mountain and loved they were so close Saved a few places for our return trip.

   Staff was very receptive and accommodating. Asked for a discount since we booked twice in a month, and staff was amenable. VERY pleased with Foscoe. Housekeeping was great. Our 2nd stay in October. Very happy with cleanliness

   The placemats and hot pads were stained. Some of the dish towels were so rag-thin that you could see through them. The dryer had a knob broken off so you could not select the heat temperature. No one told us how to dispose of our garbage, and we did not see anything written about that. It would be helpful if people were told where the disposal area was, or if garbage would be picked up. The office staff was extremely friendly, and did their best to be helpful. They were just dealt a bad hand because of this house and how it has been maintained. Anything we complained about, they immediately tried to rectify. It's just that a lot of the items could not be rectified.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with Foscoe Rentals at A Shanty Creek Retreat. We take all feedback seriously and will relay any pertinent information to the owners of this property. Foscoe Rentals is in the office 7 days a week, as well as provide an after hours number, and happy to help with any issues or questions that arise. We have onsite maintenance 7 days a week as well. Trash information is provided on the check-in but I apologize you missed this information. We'd been happy to have provided new placemats as well as dish towels (we actually keep them in our office just in case we need to replace them). A Shanty Creek Retreat is a older home but we have many guests that enjoy staying here.

   It was a very nice property! It could definitely use some kitchen utensils for cooking and a frying pan and a couple pots to cook in! Also some larger bowls to mix in. All in all the stay was wonderful!

   The house was absolutely fantastic. Not a shanty but a full 3 bedroom 3 bath house with garage. The creek running behind the house provided soothing sounds at night when sleeping with the window open. WiFi Internet was also good. Very helpful. We had to extend past the 11am checkout to help with airline times and this was done at no extra charge up until 12:00pm. This really helped out so we were able to not be rushed on the last day.

    The house was clean upon arrival. It was adequately stocked with toilet paper and paper towels and soap, as promised. The kitchen was pretty slim on pants up with utensils for somebody who likes to cook as planned I making a big meal, but we made due and it worked out fine. We rent several houses for vacations throughout the year and I have never been to a rental house that did not have basic spices and at least some vegetable oil or olive oil in the cupboards for the guests. Also, there is usually some laundry detergent available. However it was mentioned in the paperwork provided that we should bring our own detergent, so we did. It’s kist that most other properties have that available. That may be something you might want to consider having available as they are simple things that can make a big difference when preparing a meal and needing to do a quick load of laundry. There was one pillow that I found in a closet and we are going to give our children but upon closer inspection we found it covered in mold. We set it aside and notified you all at checkout. The toilet in the downstairs bathroom seemed to be leaking as I would find puddles on the floor a couple times a day. Outside of those minor things, we had a wonderful stay and we loved the property. We would not hesitate to rent it again. Thank you!

    We enjoyed our stay in "A Shanty Creek Retreat." We were very comfortable there for the week. My only suggestions would be to have a pull out sleeper sofa downstairs. My aunt was with us and had trouble climbing stairs, so that was an issue. We ended up purchasing an air mattress for use during the week. Also, the full bed is really small for 2 people, so the sleeper sofa would help with that as well. It didn't have a hairdryer (most places do), but we were able to borrow one so that worked out.

   House was fine but not in the best shape. Probably because there was no air conditioning the house smelled a little moldy. If there were ceiling fans in the rooms it would have been much nicer - it wasn't hot but a little stuffy.

   We really enjoyed the house and the property around it. The Shanty Creek and surrounding greenery was beautiful. The sound of the rushing water was so relaxing and the views were beyond our expectations.
