Place looked beautiful but had bed bugs.
Was really looking forward to our family enjoying the weekend together but had to end the trip less than 12 hrs after it began due to the fact there were bed bugs.

Nice, secluded cabin
My friends and I enjoyed our stay, enjoyed the hot tub, and the comfortable setting. Not a knock on the place at all, since it's right in the listing - but you do need a 4WD vehicle to get up the road to the cabin. They aren't just being cautious.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway
Nice rustic cabin in the heart of the mountains. Clean and well kept. Perfect location within an hour of most main attractions. It is high in the trees and there is nothing better than rocking or swinging on the front porch! It is not a "glitz and glamour" type of cabin, but it is truly a perfect mountain escape from the hustle and bustle. Loved it.

As advertised
This is the second time we have stayed here as a group and the house itself is great. 10 guys on a fishing trip and it has plenty of space. Communication with the company that now owns the property was lacking. tried getting in touch twice in the days before and no responses.

Nice Family-Friendly Getaway
This cabin was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 5 kids. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, and utensils, and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was great for relaxing in the evenings. The surroundings are so peaceful.... we particularly enjoyed the mountain views, fresh air, and waking up to the sounds of nature. The cabin is secluded, but just a short drive from Cherokee and the GSM National Park. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend! Things to know: The driveway is STEEP (but this was clearly explained in the listing), and is extra difficult when it's muddy. Also, you may want to bring extra necessities such as paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, etc if staying more than a couple of days.

Quit little house, Close to the casino
The house is difficult to find on google maps because the dirt road up the mountain doesn’t register. Really close to food, grocery stores and the casino. Everything is under 10 minutes. The hot tub is nice and beds are comfy. The bottom bunk bed was broken so thankfully we didn’t have a 6th person. All in all I would stay at the house again, but maybe not my first choice.

Disaster
We did not stay a single night. Luckily I went by myself to check in our first night. Horrific experience is an understatement. GPS has no idea where this place is. It was the middle of the night. After I “luckily” found it I was amazed that the place is even listed on Vrbo and Vacasa! Do y’all even send someone out to see the properties? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PARK 2 VEHICLES, MUCH LESS 3! THERE IS NO ROOM TO TURN AROUND. WE DID NOT STAY THERE A SINGLE NIGHT. HORRIFIC. I’ve stayed with Vrbo and Vacasa many times. Never have I not stayed where I PAID to stay. We had to get hotel rooms at extra cost and one of our guests just cancelled his trip all together. Inexcusable. Period.

Simple but just what we needed
The cabin is perfectly secluded. The road leading to it has some ruts but not too bad. The driveway is a little steep but we all accessed it using sport mode. The cabin isnt fancy like some, but has the neccessities. If you have little ones, you may want to bring a baby gate to keep them from falling down the stairs.

Amazing cabin set on seemingly your own private mountain, very secluded. A 4x4 is needed and is very fun navigating up there. Loved it!!

Mountain Getaway
Good house to stay for the weekend. Definitely an older home with a rustic cabin feel in a secluded location. I know it says AWD or 4WD is needed in the description, and that is absolutely correct. I’m not sure anything less would make it up the road to the cabin. I would also strongly advise getting there before dark. All in all a good place to stay.

A beautiful mountain retreat
The house is beautiful and the neighborhood is quite. The approach to the house is a difficult one though and definitely requires 4 wheel drive. We were very grateful that we had it, but it wasn't very obvious on this site that we needed it. All in all, if you can get there, it's a great place and very close to all the places you want to go in the area!

Waste of Money
I arrived at this property excited to relax in the hottub to find out the thing didnt even work. I reported it was promised and update on it so I could get another cabin and never heard a word. I complain again and find that someone is coming to look at it, ON THE DAY IM CHECKING OUT. A week later!!! Layers of dust on the blinds, cobwebs everywhere, and others clothing found around the cabin. Never again!

Absolutely Beautiful
Everything was just as posted. The cabin was very clean, cozy, and inviting. The fireplace and hot tub made it so enjoyable. Really appreciated the description stating a need for 4wd. Very tucked away and secluded feeling, yet close to town. Can’t wait to visit again.

Amazing property
The cabin itself and the property surrounding it is amazing. The seclusion and privacy allowed us to feel at home when were not out touring. However, when we went to check in the cleaning lady was still there. We were about 10 mins early but she said she would not be finished until 4:30. We were due for check in at 4. The cleaning was not gross but could have been better. The floors were sticky and there was dust and spider webs under the beds and on the walls. Spider webs all along the deck. Other than the little slackness of cleaning and maybe suggest some safety gates at the the entrance to all the stair ways( for toddlers) the cabin was a great stay. Our family had a fantastic time.

If your looking for a house for a average person,this is the one. Its a perfect getaway for friends or the hard working family looking for something big enough, bit not wanting to spend a fortune. This is my second visit,and I will be back.

Relaxing!
This house was clean and comfortable! I live on a mountain, but this driveway scared me. Thank goodness I had an SUV with AWD. We drove to the Biltmore Estate which is 1 hour away. Pluses were the dishwasher and hot tub.
