Set back and secluded, this wonderful mountain home is waiting for your next peaceful getaway to the trees and fresh air of Cullowhee. There is no better place to recharge and take a break, as the picturesque mountain views from the furnished deck are just the thing to allow each guest to slip right into relaxation. Bring the whole family along, including the dog, as there is something for everyone to enjoy. The chef of the group can hop into the full kitchen and show off some of their best recipes with ease while still being a part of all the action in the open living area. The kids will love the detached game room complete with ping-pong, foosball, and pool tables. When the sun starts to dip below the trees, everyone can gather around the firepit and tell old stories as the stars come out.

What's nearby:

Wonderful Getaway, With a Few Exceptions
Beautiful home in the mountains, well stocked, lots of room for the whole family. Downside - road to home is pretty rough, take it slow. 2nd part of driveway is paved but crumbling near the house and is very steep. I dont see how they can get 3 cars parked as advertised. Front screen door does not close at all. Also, area rug just inside the front door blocks the door from opening and bunches up creating a fall hazard just inside doorway. Be aware that the front door does automatically lock, so that you don't accidentally get locked out without the code. House temp is set at 55 degrees so it takes quite a bit of time for the house to warm up. Wood burning fireplace does help considerably. However, we were only left one firestarting log, so on day 2 it was very difficult to get a fire started with the damp wood from the week's rain. Propane heater does not work in the gameroom, as many people have commented before. I would think they should have this fixed by now. We did contact Vacasa, as they are who the home is actually listed under. Not impressed at all with their response to issues. Overall, we would probably stay again but only if it was warmer. It is close to the WCU Campus and grocery store.

Nikki's birthday getaway!
There are a few extraordinary perks here! The view was great. We loved the home providing games, including all ages. Entertainment for the entire family meant less back and forth. To me, I appreciate those thoughtful gestures. From having a supply of pantry staples to an overall clean home, minus the bedding has dog hair upstairs on bed and on bed, pillow downstairs We won't complain much. The home was a hotel with lots of activities, linen, toiletries, without the multitude of noise & elevator waits. Our family spoke highly of the details; cleaned kitchen, window sills, ceiling fans, floor, bedrooms, fully stocked with dishes, full kitchen, and the amazing view. The wraparound rocking chair porch was very comfy. The minor setback was not being able to enjoy the fire pit due to the wet wood. That maybe because of our stay, chosen dates. Did I mention the entire first floor garage was a game room? We all had fun! Thank you for your hospitality. We will return.

Hidden Gem of Cullowhee, NC
The house was immaculate and exactly as pictured on the website. It was cozy and comfortable, just as we had hoped when we booked it for the weekend! We enjoyed the rustic feel of the cabin. The game room was the biggest "win" for our family and friends, as we were able to enjoy quality time with our children (ages 18-22) without having to travel to town for entertainment. We especially loved the woodburning fireplace in the living room, where we were able to make s'mores while watching movies together. We were extremely pleased with the Wi-Fi service! Our younger family members were all able to use their smartphones, and we were excited to have access to streaming services for movies and phone apps so high up in the mountains. Thanks so much!! We will definitely be booking this "hidden gem of Cullowhee" again!!

Peaceful Hidden Gem
Angel View is by far one of the best vacation rentals that we have stayed at. The house and landscaping are immaculate. All rooms of the house are spacious and the furnishings are well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with essential cooking items. Our favorite area to stay on was the porch area to listen to the stream nearby and to watch the hummingbirds feed. We definitely will plan a return trip to Angel View!

Private but also convient
The house is beautiful and the scenery, even in a warm winter, is stunning. I can hardly wait to come back in the fall. The beds are all very comfortable and there is a ton of thing to do just on the property, itself. From pool, table hockey and foosball to a wide variety of COMPLETE card, board games and puzzles. The property is a great place for little ones to explore. (Mine were ages 5 through 11) and they all had a blast. When it wasn't raining, we had opportunities to explore the area and build a fire or two in the fire pit. The gas grill is great and well equipped. Washer and dryer are provided and when the trip is complete, they provide hampers in every room for the towels and such. The kitchen is well equipped. We used the crockpot to make chili the night it was SUPPOSED to snow. Mother Nature did not cooperate, but it was a great experience, anyway. I especially liked how the house feels secluded, yet you can be to downtown in about 15 minutes, and there is everything there you could need, from privately owned grocery to Walmart and lots of cute independently owned restaurants and the big box restaurants, as well. There are also a lot of waterfalls nearby. We checked out a lot of those while we were staying at Angel House. This was also the first time I have rented a home on VRBO that I did not have to supply my own paper goods. The house is well stocked with tp and paper towels, lots of bath and hand towels and washcloths and extra blankets. Excellent!

Weekend Trip
Property was very clean & close to Western Carolina. There were enough beds and bathrooms to house 8 adults for the weekend. The house has a beautiful view. Check-in & check out was simple. To note, when booking, you do have to sign a short term property rental agreement. Overall my family and I would recommend this house and would stay again. To note: DO NOT follow google maps & arrive during the day - google maps took us to a cemetery, however Waze & Maps seemed to work fine.
