4/10 Poor

Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Cabin smelled musky /mildew. Lots of dust around base boards. Bathrooms were nice. The master bathroom fan switch was faulty. Hot tub had way too much chlorine. Floors creaked with every step. Outside pathways and around the fire pit had not been trimmed. Lots of poison oak.Main Air conditioning would not cool below 74F. There was a small but good view of Grand Fathers mountain. Paid way to much for this cabin.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the bathrooms and the view of Grandfather Mountain. We sincerely apologize that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We have shared your helpful notes with our maintenance and housekeeping teams so they can be reviewed and addressed as needed. As for the natural sounds of the home, some creaking is common in mountain cabins due to seasonal temperature and humidity changes. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the guest experience, and we hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future.

Weekend trip

Inside of the cabin is stunning and a great layout. It was very clean when we got there and had everything we needed. The driveway is very tight so be aware if you have a large vehicle it's tight to turn around. The bed is memory foam and you have an option of a beautiful room with a queen which I wish had the king because it is a great room and a king in the very back, also a nice room but that front queen really is lovely.

Details Matter

The house was very nice, and comfortable. We would consider staying again. But… the window sills need cleaning (especially over kitchen sink. The shower in primary bedroom needs more water pressure. And, the view of Grandfather (himself) is becoming blocked by tree growth more than website depictions.

Did the trick, not amazing

The cabin was did the trick for a weekend stay, but the listing made it look MUCH nicer than it actually was. Bathrooms felt grungy and the drive up was very steep and road was unpaved. Fire pit and backyard area were unusable. We were planning on doing s’mores, etc but didn’t have any desire to go back there. Place was clean-ish, but felt like they could give it more attention especially the outdoor areas. No laundry either from what I could see?? Check in process was easy and it’s a good proximity to Boone and banner elk. But nothing special. Probably wouldn’t book again.
