Great - just as advertised

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin is in a gated neighborhood where the cabins are spread out, not right next to one another. The view was pretty and the cabin was clean. The drive to either Bryson City or Cherokee was not far (maybe 10-20 minutes either way) so it's a great location.

The house was very clean beds were comfy and the view was wonderful. We really enjoyed the pool table each night. There is only one working television and no wifi, which I didn’t realize until we arrived. Cell service is not good in that location, so the kids were a bit frustrated but they will survive. There’s a couch and a futon in the living room, but the futon cushion is worn out making it very uncomfortable. The kitchen isn’t super well stocked, but it was sufficient. It’s definitely an interesting drive to the cabin, but it wasn’t very difficult, we did fine in my husband’s large pickup. I think I read a review saying the windows were dirty. They are not dirty, the seals on some of them were broken and condensation had collected between the panes, not much to be done about that without replacing them. Overall we had a great stay, it was comfortable and a great location!

Great location but home needs a little TLC

The views and neighborhood are beautiful. The drive is steep but doable and should not deter you.Although, the home has basic acceptable accommodations, but generally needs some updates. During our stay, the dish washer did not working, the fireplace did not have gas, and there was piles of dead wasps that clearly accumulated over a decent amount of time that should have been swept. There was also a broken glass that ended up cutting someone pretty bad. There was also a broken door to the deck that although there was a sign to not use, I feel should have been fixed. For one thing I wouldn’t write a review, but there was a lot of little things that i would expect the owner to take more care of

Weekend trip

We went up to the mountains for a weekend trip. I was expecting the house to be very clean, but it was not. I expected to have a really relaxing weekend but instead, it was a stressful weekend. I walked into a house with a huge wasp and ladybug infestation. The whole weekend I had to worry about my two children getting stung by wasps the whole time. I do not recommend going to this house because it seemed like the owners did not really care about the cleanliness, it was not cleaned very well prior, or that there was wasps. I had to call them a few times and email them l just to get an exterminator out to the house. After the exterminator came, then we had to deal with cleaning up all of the carcasses of the dead wasps and ladybugs all weekend. They were everywhere. Including our bed! Once again, we were not pleased at all. I would not recommend this cabin sadly.

Heaven On Earth

We have stayed at this house multiple times, and each time we do, it’s better than before!!! We actually live in a cabin (in another state) and it’s hard to find a cabin that we LOVE. And this cabin, is PERFECT! It’s has everything you need for a short or long term stay. (It could use a little more cookware, but we managed just fine with what they have) The pool table is GREAT to have for family nights! The cabin is very welcoming and cozy! I have seen reviews about this cabin and the “bugs/bees” getting inside, but that don’t bother us because we’re used to it. You will see a few bugs in any house that’s in the woods (especially a cabin) but it’s really not a big deal. This place is BEAUTIFUL and has the BEST VIEWS from every room in the house!!! This is literally our “HOME AWAY FROM HOME” :) The owners are great and was quick to get back with us when we had any questions. All & All, we had an AMAZING time at this place!!! We will MOST DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!

Wasp infested

This property should not be on vrbo it gives the site a bad name. The host is very slow to response and very heartless. Despite the fact that the house was never clean spider web and hundreds of dead and live wasp mostly in the living room, dead roaches in the cubboard. My son got bitten by wasp and I told the host and he did nothing. I call vrbo about it they also try to call the host. I took some many photos of the wasp in the house we were able to kill most of them so we could have stayed in the house since it was Christmas and we had no where else to go plus the road to get to the cabin was nerve racking, steep and foggy. We keep saying the host will come but no one showed up. There is so many I could write that was wrong in this cabin. The only thing that kept us going was the veiw of the mountains. Please do not book this pleace it horrible

Great views

The drive up to the cabin is very steep with several sharp turns and a one lane road. We managed fine, but felt the description could have mentioned that. The view was beautiful, though. The cabin was nice, but there were a few maintenance issues. The knobs on the stove would turn on with the slightest bump. Felt it was a safety issue especially with children, had to check frequently that they weren't left on. The shower in the basement level could not be used because the door was broken and would not open. There is a washer and dryer, which is nice. However, the washer barely trickled when filling. We had to use a pitcher to help it fill so that it didnt take 3 hrs, especially since it was required to launder towels before leaving, which was fine, but frustrating and time consuming. Also, not mentioned in the listing is that you either have to take your trash with you or pay an additional 25 bucks to have it removed. But overall nice cabin in a pretty location.

The view is really absolutely beautiful. When you’re not used to it, the trip up and down the mountain was a real eye-opener. The host was very helpful and really easy to communicate with Just minutes from the casino and if you have little ones you’ll enjoy Santa land.

Nice place, hard to get to...

If you have a large truck, re-think driving it to this location. You will be making 3 pt turns going up the narrow mountain road. Small cars no problem! That being said, once you arrive it's great. There was not a number on the house to let you know for sure you were at the right place, but it is directly across from the Gadwall aterrace sign. The rooms were spacious, view was great. I wish we could have spent more time here honestly. All in all it was great. The cleaning fee seemed pretty high for what was expected of you at checkout and they had not deep cleaned for what seemed like awhile. It wasnt terrible but seemed like house had set vacant for awhile so it was dusty. Not a deal breaker though. Great place!

Wonderful Location!

This cabin was amazing! The gated community was private and peaceful. The roads were all paved, which is perfect (there were a few sharp turns, but since it's all paved, it wasn't bad). The kids were entertained the whole time with the pool table and the fire pit. We couldn't figure out the fire place, but that may be because we're Floridians and are not used to gas fireplaces! The only complaint I have was that this cabin was very loud. Oddly enough, it creaked all day and all night. Although my kids weren't bothered by it, it kept us up the first couple nights. We did get used to it, though! And the upstairs toilet wouldn't flush very well, but after plunging it for a couple days, we were able to pull a toothbrush out of the drain, which helped a bit! Overall, the location is PERFECT! We went to Gatlinburg one day and Asheville the next. It's so centrally located that you can go anywhere easily!
