My wife and I stayed at the Ponderosa last week, 5/30/09 - 6/6/09. The house and view were worth every bump and bounce up the mountain. We have a Hyundai Sonata so it was pretty slow going and rough but we made it. The house is beautiful and all the furniture is comfortable for lounging. Every morning we enjoyed our coffee on the deck as the sun lit up the valley. This is a great place to just kick back and unwind.
The owner was easy to work with. We scheduled our stay about three months in advance so we didn't have to rush anything. As a result, everything went off without a hitch. We are already talking about when we want to come back. |

This is our second trip to the Ponderosa.
What a gorgeous cabin! The interior decorating of the cabin is wonderful. This cabin has many embellishments that you do not find in other rentals. Very cozy. Very romantic.
The view from cabin is breathtaking. We spent the night in the hot tub taking in the beautiful wooded trees around us and gazing at the mountain range and stars. You can see Lake Junaluska lights at night and the hummingbirds were very busy at the feeders. Took a walk up to the smokies with map Paula provided;
There are also numerous recent DVD movies to watch on that new TV . Paula and Jim are the best owners I have dealt with yet. Thanks again for sharing your piece of heaven.
And most importantly: I am the foosball Champ.

| We just returned from a 3 night stay in the Ponderosa. This house is very nice. The drive up the mountain to the house is a little rough but well worth it once you arrive. The house is very modern and comfortable. The view is breathtaking. The house is located to many attractions. We enjoyed a drive down the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway and dinner at Mt Pisgah Inn. |

| Two thumbs way up for the Ponderosa!! Kathy and I have stayed in bed and breakfasts and vacation condos literally from coast to coast and the Ponderosa ranks as probably one of the best places we've ever stayed based on comfort, amenities, inside beauty and surrounding scenery. Kathy has an extensive background in working in one of the top hotels in the nation and she just loved the Ponderosa. Good job and as Arnold once said "We'll be back!!!" |

Just wanted to let you know, I have mailed you the key back to the Ponderosa. By the way, you got an absolute "glowing" report from everyone on the cabin, views, hot tub and your attention to little details, like your in-depth instructions, abundance of needed items (utensils, lighters, salt/pepper, flashlights, etc.) and the quality of the cabin itself; my husband was totally intrigued by the buck stove - he could not believe how well that worked. My sister and I just loved getting in the hot tub on cool nights. All of our college-aged kids really enjoyed the cabin, the tour of the Biltmore and most of all, I think, Chimney Rock Park.
We were in awe of the beauty surrounding us in the NC mountains, and now we are all talking about taking a rafting or a train trip for our next adventure there. If we do, I will definitely see if the Ponderosa is available.
Thanks for going "above and beyond" as it is so rare anymore.

Thanks again for everything. I have to take 5 minutes to sit down tonight and e-mail you pics from the trip. We had a blast and have been bragging this week about your place and showing pics. The whole VRBO experience has been a good one. I thanked my friend for recommending it. She has rented 4 places in the past 4 years with great results.
