We had 3 families consisting of 8 adults and 3 children for our special birthday trip to the mountains and Tweetsie Railroad. The accommodations were wonderful and we all had a great visit. Thank you for a beautiful place to stay and we would highly recommend it to all!

Great property and we enjoyed our stay, but there was a very strong musty or mildew odor in the master bedroom closet that prevented us from using it.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was the perfect size for 2 families of 4 and the views were amazing! We all enjoyed the game room and hot tub- great house if you want to stay in for the day and hang out. The location is very convenient to ski at Sugar and/or Beech. We also had a lost and found issue when we checked out and the rental company was amazing to deal with. They addressed it very quickly and were able to locate our item and are mailing it back to us. Very grateful for their customer service! We will definitely stay at this property again!

Beautiful home with amazing views!

The house was perfect for four couples. We enjoyed the game room with pool table, ping pong, and darts. The hot tub was an extra bonus after a long day of riding motorcycles through the beautiful mountains! It was a dream home to stay in!

Couldn’t have been better!

I stayed here with 7 other adults and the home was wonderful! Very clean, nice bedrooms, and the property manager was prompt and helpful with both questions I emailed about during the stay and there were minimal things we needed to clean as part of checking out (which is always appreciated!). We had a great time. The road up to the house is very steep and windy - just a heads up for fellow travelers.

Wonderful stay

Property is very spacious and beautiful. Location is great with amazing views.Kitchen had everything we needed but could use some new pots and pans. Lots of wildlife in neighborhood; rabbits, deer and even a bear. Jacuzzi was cloudy so not sure it was treated fully. Pool table and ping pong table was great on a rainy day. Would definitely stay here again (and we are picky!).

Ski Trip

This property is absolutely beautiful! Very spacious for a large group (family)! The views are stunning!! It’s super comfortable and feels like home! I would most definitely recommend! Just a note we were there in temps near 0 there was a ton of snow and ice making the drive up to the house tricky (4WD required), the driveway wasn’t visible so we used Google maps to try and locate it, and for the 1st 2 days of our stay 2 of the bathrooms didn’t have running water bc of frozen pipes… all things that can’t be avoided in temps that low… it did not damper our stay just a heads up for future folks!

Gorgeous home and breath taking view of God’s Creation

We had some minor issues with the property (not enough hot tub towels) and an alarm that had to be reset, the property management team was prompt and at tentative and took care of our issues very quickly. The towels were even hung on an outside door so as not to disturb our family meal (a text was sent to alert us). The home is as beautiful as described and in a beautiful location. If we go back to the area, we will definitely check to see if this home is available for rent. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us for the week. Just lovely!

Cleaning rags and paper towels left behind. Tenants had to finish cleaning before settling in. No information about operating televisions. Remote control units missing. Toilet paper holder in master bath broken. The contact at Carolina Cabins was helpful, but having to deal with issues on the first day was. The owner seemed much more concerned that the tenants would damage the hot tub than with providing a comfortable experience.

Location Location Location

This property is at the top of the mountain. Providing incredible views. Also, heed the warnings of the winter weather!! Our group did bring all wheel drive vehicles and one almost slid down the mountain! The roads up that far were the last to be plowed. We had a group of ten family and friends. The space was more than adequate. If i needed to make one recommendation it would be to provide more dishwashing pods. This property sleeps 13 and with that many folks you would need to do dishes every day, which we did for 10. The water pipes did freeze on us, but that is in no way a fault of the property, simply a circumstance that could not be helped. All in all, our group was thoroughly pleased with the property and stay and would recommend to others.

Spectacular views from the house.

Lots of games to play, pool, ping pong and air hockey. Hot tub was great after they fixed the temp on it. Nice to have a fire pit, and yard. The house was very clean, well stocked with linens. The view was fantastic from the deck.

Ace of Diamonds was even better than expected

I booked the stay at Ace of Diamonds for my family's 2nd Annual Sibling/ Family trip. My brothers were the first to arrive, within minutes texts from them started coming to my phone about how nice the house is and how the pictures don't do it justice. My sister and her family agreed. We had a great stay at Ace of Diamonds, there's so much I can say about this property, but the highlights are the amazing view, quiet and peaceful setting, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, the pool table, peaceful front porch. The house is huge, but still very cozy. And while I was a bit surprised over the drive up (1st time in the mountains) if you take your time, it's not too bad and if I can do it, you can too! Would definitely recommend Ace of Diamonds!

Great escape

We loved everything about this property and the location. We enjoyed the view, easy access to burn pit, hot tub and game room for the teenagers. The place was super clean, comfortable beds and everything was there that we needed. We loved being so close to Otter falls! Highly recommend for a perfect mountain getaway!
