We loved the lazy moose cabin. It was beautiful and even was nicer than what the pictures showed. Very clean and had everything we needed and more. The view was very pretty and we loved the big porch. Very peaceful and quiet. We will definitely be back.

The cabin is spacious and well furnished. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The porch is large and offers great Mountain View’s. The only negative is the driveway - it is very rough and steep.

We have someone scheduled to scrape/grade the gravel driveway. Due to the small steep part, the rain and vehicles begin to cause small ruts. Thank you for staying with Carolina Mountain Vacation Homes! :)

The house was fairly clean, but could use a deep cleaning of cobwebs on the walls and ceilings and light fixtures. The furniture in the bedrooms needs moving and clean the dust off the baseboards and edges of the carpet.

Great place to base our Cataloochee side of the park trip. Cathedral ceilings make the cabin feel enormous. Very clean and well stocked with the necessities for a comfortable stay. The huge wrap around porch is fantastic for start of the day planning and end of the day reflection. Firepit area made for very pleasant evenings . We heartly recommend

The Lazy Moose Cabin was the ideal place for us. The furnishings were exceptional! The fireplace was a nice element of coziness. Easy to use and the whole place had a homey feel. There wasn't anything I would have wanted to change. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us. We definitely will be back.

We had a great stay. The home was spotlessly clean, and communication with the host was quick, easy, and helpful from start to finish. Check‑in and check‑out were very clear and straightforward, which made everything smooth and stress‑free.The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with cookware, pans, utensils, and all the practical items you need to actually cook.The property is in a quiet, peaceful location that’s perfect for unwinding, especially after long days out. Inside, everything was comfortable and thoughtfully set up, from the living spaces to the beds.

We always recommend an AWD vehicle (if possible) due to the gravel roads in the neighborhood. We contracted someone to cut the trees to clear up the view. Thank you for staying with Carolina Mountain Vacation Homes!

The cabin had everything you needed. The porch was great for evening relaxing and playing games. Only suggestion for pet owners, bring a doggie gate for main steps onto the porch. Will come and stay again.

Beautiful cozy cabin!!!..everything you need is there, from linens to a fully stocked kitchen. Plenty of firewood for the private fenced in fire pit area. Beautiful wrap around porch..very private, we didn’t see another person unril the last day. Driveway is pretty steep, it took us 3 x to get up there...definitely going back!Just book it, you won't be disappointed!

It was a pleasure to have you! Thank you so much for staying with Carolina Mountain Vacation Homes! As a note to future guests: Make sure you gas it all the way up the driveway or you can get stuck (if the vehicle is not AWD) and have to try again.
