Hot Springs Rental House, A Best Value in Vacations in WNC

Okay then. These friends of mine just decided to dress up a family home in Hot Springs and make it a vacation rental.  I have to say I had my doubts.  In fact, I was telling them to "sell, sell, sell."  You should see this place.  It has high ceilings and is huge.  It is old, historic even.  The views from the bedrooms will make you think you are looking at a Monet impressionist painting especially in the fall of the year.  But did they sell? No one is taking my advice these days.  It is the real estate market making me look bad.

These folks have a sweet spot in Hot Springs, North Carolina.  If you have never been there, I suggest you go.  It is quaint- whatever that means- and they say lots of local eccentric folk milling around town which makes people watching great.  Me? I like going down to he pub and having a cold one and a burger after a long day floating down the river.  You can WALK to the pub and crawl to this amazing old house.

I think they are asking around $115 - $130 per night with a three night minimum.  This is a steal because places like Mountain Magnolia Inn and some of the other places can charge double depending on the time of year.  This place is pet-friendly and has Internet high speed.  I'm going in October for the leaves and taking a lady friend.  Nothing like watching a sunset in a pretty lady's eyes.  This is Al and I am going to Hot Springs.
