Stay away! We…read morestopped in as we were interested in land, and met with an agent by the name of Reese Carroll. He showed us one property, and we gave him our contact information and told him we'd get in touch if we needed any further information. This was in July 2019. Reese has called us EVERY SINGLE SAY, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES since, and it is now September 21, 2019. His message are always the same; "Call me, I wanted to see if you got the message I left for you." It's like a sick joke, but it isn't funny or amusing. I have ignored his calls thinking he would get the message, but he obviously does not. I've sent him emails telling him we are not interested. He still calls. Every day. I've blocked his number. He still calls. Every day. I've sent him text messages telling him to leave us alone. He still calls. Every day. At this point, I am going to contact the NC Board of Realtors and file a complaint, because this is harassment on a level I've never seen before. Ever.

This place used to be really nice. As of this year I think we've had what will be our last stay…read more Overcrowding: The campground has added way too many tent sites without adequate parking. The result is 0 parking spots and no space for anyone to comfortably enjoy themselves. The fire pits all blow smoke at each other and the tents fill up with other tent sites fire pit smoke. Noise issues: Want to go to sleep at a reasonable time? Too bad. Two nights in a row a bunch of drunkards were blasting music and having a great time from 9pm until 3am. Don't plan on getting much sleep if it's a busy weekend. Barking dogs, screaming kids, loud music, and noisy people well into the night. Safety concerns: the main small beach near the domes where everyone plays is littered with boulders and sharp rocks in the water. Maybe nothing can be done about that. However open inspecting the rotting wood steps leading to the water I found an actual sharp-to-a-point metal spike sticking straight up out of the wood. Luckily I was able to hammer down with a large rock, however that was an impaled foot or worse waiting to happen. There's lots of exposed rebar and it's generally unsafe. Considering how many kids and drunk adults loiter in that area, it's only a matter of time until someone needs stitches. No wonder they have you sign a liability waiver to be here. Lack of facility maintenance: The door locks on most of the bathrooms don't work. The hot water in the showers is barely functional if at all. The wood ramp to the shipping container showers becomes very slippery when wet and poses a safety hazard. There's a wasp sanctuary under the deck as well. Several adults and children were stung this weekend simply walking up the ramp to the bathrooms. With all the money this place is making is there no time to fix and maintain these things? Last but not least, THE CAMP DOGS: a gentleman came to our group and asked that we put all our dogs on leashes (despite them already being on leashes at the time...) and then allows the "camp dog" which is a large black and white husky to roam freely. This dog is an A**HOLE. It constantly bothers people's camp sites and tries to pick fights with other dogs. Our dogs were personally harassed by this dog when he came to our campsite and started eating our dogs food. Then tried to start a fight with our dogs. Then tried to BITE MY WIFE. I had to chase him off every couple hours both days. This dog should not be allowed off leash however the campground owners don't have enough self awareness to do so. All in all, it's been fun over the last few years, but this place has grown too big for the owners and staff to properly manage. Won't likely be coming here again, and we'll be sure to let everyone know what it's become.

I cannot say enough about how great Derek and the entire team was during our home purchase. Our…read moreprocess was delayed multiple times due to complexities around the property and each time he was able to offer a quick solution which ended up fixing our issues each and every time. Derek is extremely knowledgeable about the entire home buying process and is very well versed about things in the home not necessarily relating to the purchase as well (such as how many of the complex systems in the house work). He has an amazing network of contacts and every single service provider he recommended was 100% perfect for what we expected. He is also great about keeping up with social media and the housing trends that are in, as well as keeping up with investment information, which make him an ideal Realtor for individuals looking for a personal home as well as investment properties. We will absolutely be using Derek again in the future and will recommend him hands down to anyone else looking for a home in the High Country area.

In a market where homes were flying off the shelf within hours, Derek & Terri met me at the property lickity-split. That particular home turned out not to be "the one", but the next home was a go! After a year of working with another realtor, Derek & Terri have us moving into our new home now! From my initial call to them, to closing, was less than two months. That's in a market with no inventory! They answered countless phone calls, and solved problems in the background that I didn't even know to worry about! They worked closely with the lender & contractors involved, while we switched gears multiple times. To me, responsiveness & local expertise were the most important factors. They gave me those in spades. In a world where renovation estimates have become insane, we even discussed all the DIY options & plan to do most of it ourselves. I have no doubt that they will still be available for advice. We couldn't be more excited & thankful. There will likely be another transaction within the next year, and there is no question that I will be calling on Derek & Terri. Did I mention we did this entire transaction from another state? Yet, they made it seamless. Top notch! Please call them. You will not be disappointed!
