My husband and I always travel up to the NC mountains for our anniversary. We always try different towns to stay in. This cabin was so cute. It was small but for 2 people it was perfect. The hot tub was clean and we enjoyed it after a day on the town. It had everything we needed to cook there and not leave the cabin if we wanted too. Would definitely stay there again.
Very clean cabin The hot tub was amazingLove just sitting on porch with hot coffee watching the sun come up

Good things: The master bed was very comfortable. There was lots of privacy. Hot tub was nice. Host was very kind and responsive. Stream was nice when it rained. Plenty of towels.Things not so good: the bridge over the stream and stairs going into the house were slimy and slippery. There were 2 porch roof leaks, one right over where you entered the house. Says laundry, but no washer dryer. No dishwasher, our miss. Way too small for 2 adults and 2 dogs. Place was dark, rugs and sofa fabric were very tired, worn. Shower very small, shower curtain kept falling off the rings. Railing around hot tub was separated from post with screws exposed. Lots of brush up work needs to be done, in my opinion.

Thank you for your review, Caron, but I did want to address some things that you left out. It literally rained every day you were here, so yes, wooden bridges and stairs get slippery. Slimy? No, that entire house/deck/stairs was just pressure washed two weeks ago. You and I discussed the porch roof leaking, and I explained to you that it was scheduled to be replaced in the late fall when my bookings slow down. We already have a contractor lined up for this work, as I mentioned to you. The roof is leaking where it meets the cabin and the water is coming through only on the porch, not inside the house, as you seemed to imply. My listing does not say that there is a washer/dryer. It states that there is a coin laundry nearby. My listing also states in several locations the size of the cabin, so not sure why that would have been a surprise. Your comments on the "darkness" of the cabin and that the rugs and sofa are worn are unfair. We are pet friendly, and as such, cannot purchase new rugs and furniture constantly. We don't charge pet fees because we know guests love to travel with their dogs. We keep our prices fair so guests can come and enjoy our property and the area. The pictures on our listing are fair representations of the cabin and were taken on my cell phone, so nothing has been done to try to make it look any way but how it is. Again, not sure why you would be describing the cabin negatively when you should have viewed all the pictures before booking.
Cozy farm cabin for 2 adults and 2 small dogs on a roadtrip. The hosts provided good amenities that made our stay nice. We saw wild turkeys and groundhogs on walks around the farm. Short drive to downtown shops, restaurants, hiking areas and Lake Junaluska.
We loved our stay at this cabin. It is very private and a great place to relax. The host was very responsive if we had questions. The cabin was clean with lots of towels. The hot tub was very clean and very relaxing. It is a wonderful pet friendly rental in Waynesville.
The cabin is great. Very comfortable. Very private. The hot tub could have been a degree or two warmer but was acceptable Have stayed at this cabin before and would stay again

Hi Sherra, so pleased that you had a great time at the cabin. I wanted to respond about the hot tub temp. The highest they will go is 104 degrees, so I'm sorry that wasn't hot enough and took away from your enjoyment of it. Hope you are able to visit again in the future!
Beautiful property! Like the description says its a small house, but don't let that scare you off. Its a cute, clean cabin on a gorgeous and quiet spot. Its also a short trip into town, about 5 minutes (maybe 10 depending on your luck with traffic/lights) to Lake Junaluska. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes/pans, we had an abundance of towels, and the king sized bed was so comfy! I think its the only time my husband and I agreed about a mattress. We had three people (2 adults and a teenager) and loved our stay, we'd absolutely stay here again. My only recommendation would be to bring a flashlight for nighttime bathroom breaks if your dog is like mine and needs to sniff around for the perfect potty spot. There are porch lights, but the flashlight helped.

Thank you for suggesting the flashlight! We will stock one in the cabin.
Second stay here at Howell’s at The Moon Farm…we absolutely love this cabin, and the area. A short drive to Waynesville and the Maggie Valley/Cherokee area but you feel like you’re secluded by the creek at 3,000 feet. Hot tub is clean and always a PLUS!
My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at this cabin for our honeymoon! The host was incredibly kind and welcoming—she surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a candle, which made our stay feel extra special. She even made sure the hot tub was already running when we arrived so we could enjoy it right away. The cabin was spotless and absolutely perfect for our stay. The property itself is beautiful, and there was so much to do in the surrounding area. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special time and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!
Very clean, comfortable bed and quiet! We spent Thanksgiving there, the kitchen had everything we needed and we loved being able to take our 2 dogs with us! Location is close to dining and grocery stores.
We loved the place. I think we spent most of our stay around the fire pit. We found a place close by that gave out free firewood. I loved the hot tub and the wooded area. Can't wait to come back. Thank you for everything.

Thanks for the kind comments, Yvonne! I wish we knew you were out of firewood, we would have brought up more. Hope to have you visit again in the future.
It was perfect for what we wanted out of a mountain stay. The hot tub was relaxing. We grilled and had bon fires. This cabin had all the amenities we needed and then some. We would book here again.
