The gym has beautiful views all around and they offer fitness classes as well. The bathrooms and sauna are really clean. They offer massages as well. The coffee machine was my favorite because they have a variety of different drinks that you can make. The property itself has a gate guard and is surrounded by beautiful views all around. The club has basketball, pickle ball, and other activities for the guests to use. The hiking trails are beautiful and peaceful. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing trip! I can't wait to return!!

Thank you Jenkins Rentals for another great weekend in the mountains! This was our second time…read morestaying at Andreas #1 and it was just as wonderful as 2 years ago. The service was wonderful (website, booking, and then check-in were all super easy), the accommodations perfect for our family, and the location is amazing. 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway (right by Julian Price Park and Moses Cone and tons of options for all levels of hiking), 10 minutes from Blowing Rock, and about 15 from Boone (and a Harris Teeter!). This rental is down a gravel road off of Shulls Mill Road and right on a little creek. The kids spent hours playing in the creek, and we all loved going in the hot tub multiple times a day! NIce wooded lot in a little valley. Pretty but not the spectacular views you might find with some of Jenkins' ther properties. However, with young kids, I happily traded the views (which we got when we went hiking 3 days in a row!) for the creek to play in and not having to worry that my youngest would somehow fall off the porch!! Clean, comfortable, and has everything you need for a getaway.

Difficult to drive up to the house because pathway was not well paved. Pots, pans, and other things in the house need updating. I'm sure that the company, Jenkins, probably has other great properties but Mountain Outlook was a huge disappointment.

James provided us with resources and support for a smooth and pleasant property purchase and subsequent sale of a second home in Ashe County NC. As a real estate agent, James conducted his work thoroughly and efficiently throughout both transactions. He helped find the perfect property for us and expertly handled the purchase and negotiation process. When we found ourselves in the unfortunate position of needing to sell, he marketed our house leading to multiple offers and a fast sale. Again he helped us navigate complex contractual matters and negotiated sales terms and conditions that exceeded our expectations.

Pro: 1. good…read morelocation, walking distance to most stores, downtown, restaurants, hospital, and gas station. 3. Reasonably priced, unfurnished. 2. Maintenance guy is super friendly, sweet and helpful. He is the least appreciated person by the owner of the property. 3. Relatively safe, although I have heard gun shots followed by police cars before. 4. Neighbors keep to themselves. 5. Water cost is included for now. 6. Comes with adorable stray cats, most neighbors feed them, while the landlord expressed hatred toward these defenseless souls. Con: 1. House feels weathered. I had leaky window and faucet when I first moved in. The walls are thin, there is little privacy even though this is a town house. The floor was so dirty that after 6 months of living here and moping the floor everyday, the water still comes out black. The carpet is old with stains everywhere. 2. No pet policy, nothing at all, not even if you want to look after your friend's hamster for a few days. 3. Sketchy neighbors. The place asks everyone to pay $25 for background check, but I doubt they do the checks, because even the rats living in my attic can tell some of them were drug dealers. 4. Condescending owner who is always on the defense when talking to you. She always assumes her tenants are either retarded or taking advantages of her. 5. I kept reporting water leakage in my apartment and the only time she sent someone to fix it was when they realized their water bill was off the roof. Property owner doesn't even bother to hire a professional when the water pipe broke, the poor maintenance guy had to fix it by himself. Or they stopped the water on purpose to keep the water bill down, who knows, the owner is not that trust worthy. 6. No recycle bin, stray cats come feast in the dumpster all the time. Overall: It is decent place for a temporary stay if you want to save money. Semi-family friendly, not pets friendly (not sure if I trust people who cannot love animals), not environmental friendly. You are stuck with rats as pets when you move in and free alarm clocks when neighbors wake up at 4 or 5 AM for work, and you'll never be late for work. It is very hard to find apartment in this area. I suggest you look at Hickory. I have also noticed it is almost impossible to get a good deal on Internet in Lenoir. If you work in Lenoir, the drive from Hickory is still totally worth it.
