Hummingbird Haven

Hummingbird Haven was a convenient home to stay in while attending a near by wedding. The house is extremely dated however was clean. It fit our needs for the weekend. The problem was the issue with the electric feed into the house. Prior to arrival we were told the dryer was not working and would not be repaired during our stay. Upon arrival, our family realized the oven/stove, microwave and mini splits were not working. After driving 8 hours we were unable to prepare any of the meals we brought with us. We called the after hours number and the maintenance guy promptly called us back. We informed him of the issues and he shared they had to replace the refrigerator earlier in the day. My husband told him it sounded like they had dropped a leg of power coming into house and we suggested they call the local power company to come out. Power company came out and confirmed we only had half power. We were completely without power for a few hours in the evening. We can't believe these issues were not known prior to our arrival. Our first evening in the house was spent in the dark, without dinner and on the phone dealing with this issue. Other potential dangerous issues in the house include in the master bathroom, the bar in the shower surround is not secured at all. When my 91 year old mother was showering and steadied herself with the bar it literally fell out. Thankfully, I was standing right outside the tub. There is an old floor outlet right in front of the couch that should be covered. It was tempting for our toddler, who was just playing on the floor, to put toys in the recessed outlet. There were switches on the lamps that were broken off and bulbs missing. Not a danger issue, but the coffee pot leaks a lot. Upon leaving the house, the lock button that the instructions say to push was not working. I don't mean to bash this house, it was fine for our quick stay but Friday night without electricity and no ability to cook food was unacceptable. It seems that with the appliance issues the previous day and prior to our arrival the electrical issue should have been realized and addressed. Chad, from maintenance was very responsive and sincere.

Celebration of Life

Location was perfect for our needs. Lifelong friends have a house just down the road that we have been visiting them at since 1997. We were there for a Celebration of Life. The house is just a little dated and landscaping a bit overgrown.

A relaxing stay at a retro classic Airbnb

I was a bit skeptical when I read the review about the house being dated. However, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted about the condition and cleanliness of the house. Instead of dated, I would say the house is retro classic, like a movie set straight out if That 70's show. We enjoyed our stay there thoroughly and would recommend it to our friends.

Nice house near the lake

The house was nice. The microwave did not work and the hot water heater was not able to provide enough hot water for showers of ten people. Sundog staff brought us a replacement microwave. Sundog also was very responsive to our needs. We enjoyed the house and the lake neighborhood.

Smelly and dated but great location

The property had a foul odor the first 1-2 days we stayed there, and the property manager apologized but did not attempt to resolve it. We put in air fresheners ourselves which helped dramatically. The decor is very very dated, but it served our purpose as it was close to the family we were visiting.

The home was very clean. However, the hot water supply line was turned off and it took us some time to locate the issue. Other than that we loved the big stone fireplace and deck.

Great, comfortable stay!

Overall we had a wonderful stay at Hummingbird Haven. The cabin is comfortable and quaint and the proximity to the lake was great. There were some minor maintenance issues, though. We could not get the chimney flue completely open, so we had to squelch our fire earlier than we wanted to because of smoke. The super-squeaky pocket door to the upstairs bedroom meant that if one person woke up, the other person's sleep was disrupted. The lights in the entryway did not seem to work. Other than that, all was good and we'd happily stay there again.

Nice summer getaway.

My wife, my daughters stayed here in mid June and had a nice stay. It’s very close to beautiful Lake Glenville and we were able to enjoy some paddle boarding, etc. the location is central to a lot of a great cities/towns including Asheville, Highlands, Bryson City. We made day trips to whitewater rafting, ziplining, waterfalls and mountain hikes. The house is not very updated with older carpeting, TVs and kitchen appliances but everything worked well enough. no air conditioning but luckily the weather was mild and we didn’t really need it. Booking and check-in/check out process was simple. I would stay here again.

Clean convenient Glenville location

This house suited our needs almost perfectly. It’s certainly not modern: but it is clean, affordable, convenient, and comfortable. Located on the east side of Lake Glenville this house has easy access to Highway 107 in the town of Cashiers. It’s also only about one minute away from a Great local restaurant Happ’s Bar and Grill; and about five minutes or less to Signal Ridge Marina. It has a nice, usable deck, half of which is undercover; with a limited view of Lake Glenville. It would probably be advisable for the owners to replace the charcoal grill with a gas grill.

Retro but fine!

Hummingbird Haven was pretty retro-decorated and they could use nicer bedding. They need to upgrade, but it was very clean and acceptable for laying our heads. Don't be bringing a large SUV into the driveway! :-/ Very thin!

Hummingbird Haven

Cottage was very dusty and dated. Lots of dead bugs on the floor throughout the house. We walked through a number of spider webs inside the home when we first arrived. The carpet on the main level looks like it is the original. The whole family was very congested from staying in the mold and dust filled cabin for the weekend. On the bright side, the landscaping in very pretty and the location next to the lake is great.

Not a bad stay

Very clean and homey cabin. Love the old wood furniture. Carpet could use some attention. Hot water tank may need service. Took forever to warm up after turning tank temp up. Only lasted about 15min. Could not support all rooms being occupied. Chimney may need a good cleaning. After opening flue, smoke still pored into cabin. Had to open back door to create a better updraft. It would have been nice to have heat on a low setting for our arrival. We arrived at the cabin late at night and it was freezing. Took a good while to warm up. Would stay again as it was a good price and good location.
