Thanksgiving Weekend

The cabin was great. Great view, great kitchen and beds and great location. We enjoyed walking the lower dirt road with the neighbor dog. Visited Cloudland and DeSoto State Parks as well as Mentone. Would be fun to come back in the summer and enjoy the pool. Beautiful sun rise and sun sets were a plus! Highly recommend.

50th bday celebration!!

This house is amazing!! We spent A LOT of time at the pool. It has EVERYTHING you need - floats, lounge chairs, table and chairs, umbrellas, etc. The house was so cute and perfect for 4 adults. We cooked a couple meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed. At night we were able to watch some Netflix. I reached out prior to the trip and the response was immediate. We visited DeSoto Falls and Mentone Market - both were great!! Highly recommend Brow Park. Gorgeous views.

Mountain Getaway

Overall, we loved this vacation. Our family usually looks for beach vacations, but we wanted something different this year. What we liked about this house was that it was very modern. It wasn’t just some cabin in the woods! The house was well furnished and the amenities were enough. We enjoyed the remote location, the views, the pool, and even the neighbor dog who kept us company. It was definitely a place to relax and renew. My only complaint was that there was a leak in the upstairs shower the week before we arrived. I didn’t check our VRBO account, so it was a surprise when we walked in. Over half of the kitchen ceiling had been removed to expose pipes. A small leak dripped into a pan on the floor. There was also exposed piping at the top of the steps to the loft and in the loft bathroom. Our 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation quickly became a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath vacation. With a family of four, it double our time to shower and get ready for the day (Especially with multiple showers from swimming and hiking). I appreciate that they messaged us, but I think the right thing to do was credit us back a portion of our stay. Maybe a free night? You work all year for that one vacation only to have a pretty decent change once you arrive. I understand things happen, but i just think it could have been handled differently.

Not What I Thought

Family vacay after Xmas. This was not a cabin. This was a contemporary home. Stayed in Blue Ridge the previous year, in a cabin, in the mountains and it was beautiful. So when I booked this, I was hoping for the same (from what wasI read). We wanted to try a different area, same type of setting and it turned out not so. This home does not have a loft. It is a “sitting” area off the upstairs master. There is no privacy. This sat above the kitchen, dining and to the outside doors. So if someone doesn’t care, then this is for them. Master bath has horrible water pressure and shower door doesn’t stay closed. Also, it is definitely not in a quiet place in the mountain. It backs up to a road well traveled, has two neighbors on each side, one neighbor has a dog that constantly barks . For myself wanting the quiet, solitude of mountain time, it didn’t happen. The pool was covered, because of winter time, but it was gross. Water accumulated on top with a bunch of junk. We brought things to grill since it mentioned a grilling area. The grill was disgusting and not cleaned, the tank was empty, not changed over. Beautiful windows facing the mountain were dirty, with cob webs and what looked like dirt. Fire pit, a plus on our list but no starters or pokers, we had to wind up getting these. We stayed five days and paid a bit for this place. Not worth all of it and will not be back. There was a positive, the cute dog that visited us everyday( no barking) just cuteness!

Amazing property with scenic veiws

The house and property were soo beautiful! So peaceful to wake up to the big windows and view. Check in was great, pool was clean, and hosts were available when needed. If you are interested in restaurants and sightseeing that's not hiking- be prepared to drive! Alot of stuff that we were interested in was 20 to 30 min away. Only complaint was the bugs! I get it- go to Georgia and you'll have to deal with bugs outside but there were a decent amount in the house too. A little hand vacuum would've been convenient to get rid of them painlessly. Overall we would love to stay again!
