This was our second stay at this property and it will be our "go to" place when visiting our son at WCU! We had a very relaxing week decompressing on the porch while listening to the stream. Remote enough to unwind but convenient to campus and shopping. We will be back!

Awesome creekside cabin!

Great location! We were there for my kids orientation. Less than 10 minute drive to WCU! The creek was nice and cool. Everything in the house was nicely arranged and the grill worked great. Highly recommend staying here if you are in the Cullowhee area.

1st Time Vrbo-ers!

This was our first experience renting from Vrbo and we will definitely not hesitate to do it again! My husband, our college-aged son, our dog and I enjoyed our 3-day weekend. The house was close to the WCU campus (the reason for our visit) and was well equipped for our stay. Sitting on the deck in the afternoon, listening to the stream was very relaxing! We will definitely be repeat visitors should my son decides to transfer to WCU!
Our dog enjoyed the stream also!!

Creekside Comfort

Beautiful, secluded, peaceful with plenty of space. Occasional animal hair on couch, bedding and bath clean, kitchen well stocked. House did have odor of moth balls at first, but it dissipated. We enjoyed the stay and would gladly stay again. Only real inconvenience was an accident took out power pole resulting in no electricity for 12 hours, but that can happen anywhere.

Overall OK stay!

We stayed for a week to move our child into WCU. The property was great for our family. Our only concern was a mothball smell in the house that was very distinct and overpowering. The gas grill had no propane and the dryer did not work. Both of these things we did not find out until the last day. Even with the issues our stay was nice and we would recommend.

Family vacay

Home has a musty smell and needs more cleaning done. You could tell it has been shut up for a long time. Basement is creepy and needs a good cleaning as well. Internet wouldn’t work most of the time there either. Tv buffers and internet goes out. Property is beautiful but so far from main road.

Kathy, I regret to see that you did not enjoy your stay during your time and I wanted to thank you personally for informing us of smell.

Family Reunion “Retreat” and Comfort

We love this property. We love the location being very convenient to the Family Reunion. The porch needs some TLC. The cushions are flat and not real clean. The ice maker was not working last year and it was not working this year. The trash issue was odd. I stay a week Mon-Mon and the trash cans were full until Friday. So I had them full so the next quests. We enjoyed our trip and the cabin and I got some well needed rest.
